Sets Fast
Action
For w eekend

All is ship-shape once again
at Brandywine Raceway. Trot-
ers and PAGERS stricken by a
virus disease, which caused the
curtailment of racing activities
the week ofMayl3, are reported
fully recovered, and plans for a
big weekend offast-class action
are on tap.
Because there is no stake
race scheduled, the main week
end attractions will be of the
snappy Invitational variety.
Brandywine already this season
has presented three $4,000 In
vites for PAGERS and three at
$500 apiece for the trotting
set.
Fast timers have come out of
these rich races. Lord Gordon
stepped in 2:04.3 in the Fair

sons best for four-year-old
stations on a half-mile track,
and Worth Seem took a 2:04.2
on May 8, the time still stand
ing as the fastest in the entire
nation by a four-year-old trot-
ting mare on a double oval.
In fact, Brandywine trotters
made clean sweep In the four
year-old department of the Sea-
sons Champions roster, the
gelding Gusto having clicked off
a 2:04.3 here in an overnighter.
On the pacing side, H T A
winner Adora's Dream brought
Brandywine to print on the
Champions list of four-year-
olds with a 2:00.4, which also
happens to be the fastest time of
the current meet. Adora's
Dream was fastest three-year- :
old here last year after a2:00.l

SPEAKING OF INsrc1s
with DA ALE BRAY
ENT0M0L OGIST
University Of Delaware

We humans have done a fine
job of making a LOT of our pro-
blems. A good example of this
is the way we have allowed for
eign insects to slip ashore and
spread across the country.
One of the most important
of these insect invaders is the
European corn borer. This pest
landed In the Boston area about
1908. Now, less than go years
later, 1t has spread to nearly
all the corn growing areas of the
country. If the corn borer lin
tied its damage to corn alone,
things would be bad enough,
but it has an appetite for over
200 kinds of plants. 1t is a
major pest of peppers. | have
seen Delaware fields where
every pepper fruit was de-
stroyed by the corn borer. In
one field all of the head let
tuce was riddled. A heavy in
festation In Irish potatoes can
destroy the vines as though a
fire had swept across the field.
They damage countless ornam :
entail plants and even get into
apples and blueberries In some
years. In corn alone, it causes
a loss of millions of dollars
per year ($349 million In lo4o).
This insect passes through
the winter as a full grown cat
erpillar, usually In corn St
ubble. With the first warm days
of spring these begin changing
to a dark brown resting stage,
and then in early May, the moths
emerge, fly about, and lay eggs
on many kinds of plants. but
strange as 1t seems - not on
corn. There is substance in
young corn which is poisonous
to the borer. So mother cora
borer seeks potatoes, flowers,
and other plants for egg lay
ing. These eggs produce cater
pillars which feed by boring In
the plants for some time. They
then change to the resting stage
and later emerge as moths to
begin egg laying again about

Not Time To
Add To List

Remember this: Memorial
Day--one week from today is
a time for commemorating the
honored dead, and not a time for
adding to the list of the dead.
The grim holiday reminder
was issued yesterday by ].
James Ashton, Manager of the
Delaware Safety Council, who
said holidays weekends have
frequently been deadly affairs in
most parts of the nation, but
Delaware has frequently mana
ged to get through them without
a single fatal accident.

prudence in driving and In
all other holiday behavior is all
that's required" he urged.
He suggested four common
sense rules of driving behavior
that safety officials consider
prudent:
/. Hold your speed to the
posted speed limits, even If
cars are passing you.
2. Be ready to stop In time
If the need arises.
8. Drive with patience, cour-
tesy and common sense, put
ting your safe arrival first in
importance and the time of ar
rival at your destination low In
Importance.
4. Refrain from driving If
you have been drinking or If
you are sleepy.

death toll on the highways on
the Memorial Day weekend will

seven weeks after the first
eggs are laid. BY this time, the
corn has lost its poison and is
no longer off-limits to the corn
borer.
Infested corn usually has
broken tassels which can be
seen several yards away, even
from a slowing moving automo-
bile. Examine such corn closely
and you will find sawdust-like
frass protruding from small
holes in the plant. BY cutting the
plant open at such a spot, you
can find the fless-colored
borer.
In field corn there are only
TWO ways to control the corn
borer. One is to plow down the
stubble of last years corn In
mid-spring AFTER the borers
have changed to the resting
stages or pupae. The other way
is to plant only varieties of corn
that are resistant to corn borer
attack. Use of insecticides on
field corn is not practical. AT
the University of Delaware, we
have brought In certain paras-
ties of the borer, and have had
some success with one of these
so far. Unfortunately, this par
dcular parasite seems to be
disappearing from Delaware.
The European corn borer is
not all bad. When | was boy, we
used large numbers of them as
fish bait In the winter time.
They we're so much In demand
for bait that we sometimes sold
them for as mich as one dollar
per dozen.

THE VICTORIOUS LIFE

THE VICTORIOUS LIFE
This is the Victory that over
cometh the world, even our
faith.
To many christians the life
of victory is but a beautiful
mirage, an ideal that is never
realized, a restful place never
reached. But there is life OF
Victoryl
With Victory comes assur-
ance and over flowing Joy.
Does this seem vague or
unreal2 Does 1t seem to avoid
a direct answer2
If SO and you want to get
above this doubt and live a
victorious life, then you must
confess your inner tensions
your so called respectable sin,
such as bad tempers----Pride
----Jealousy----and spiritual
indolance.
These are the things that lie
at the root of all defeat.
Now we have a suggested
platform for the victorious life,
Read and mediate on the
word. Never take an advanced
step without the word of Coo
to stand on.
A "Thus saith the Lord is a
citadel of strength In the day
of battle.
Keep Alert. The foes are
many but the work and the task
that is ours is of most i'm
portance. Therefore do moi
slumber or loirer, or trifle,
Steadily maintain your self
remuneration.
''In me there is no good
thing" no strength, no beauty,
no wisdom; CHRIST is the VIC
toryl
Live wholly separated from
the world and even the worldly
spirit.
Here is the most important
factor in keeping our exper-
fence. If we yeild at one poinl
the dixie is Broken.
Live In Sunshinel Build q
ladder of your failures. and the
unsuccessful part of your life
and then keep climbing.
Refuse to be embittered. En-
dure the cross patiently. There
are much brighter days aheac
for us.
Live Obediently. Full obed-
ience to his commands will bring
a song in the night and rivers
In the desert.
Without the shedding of Chris
Blood there is no remission oi
sins, and just so with us without
the life blood of the christian
there is no advance in the spir-
itual things.
This is the life of real victory
and 1t is for each one of us Il
we will pay the price.
