Farmers In this area can
get tractor jockeys by the doz-
en-, but what they want is a
man who can operate ndmain-
tain farm equipment with some
degree of competence. "
Once the need for the program
was established, Koble metwith
Davidson to lay the groundwork
for the formal instruction. A
teaching staff of three persons
was assembled, including Da-
wilson, Charles Stein, voca-
donal agriculture teacher at
Lewes, and Alan Edsall, voca-
tional agriculture teacher at
Milford.
An analysis of the memploy-
ed roles by the Employment Sc
curity Commission produced IA
men ranging from l9 to 49
years of age whose aptitudes
suited them for jobs as equip
ment operators. ALI but three
we're heads of households, with
education backgrounds varying
from four years of formal
schooling to one who was a
high school graduate.
A rigorous schedule was es-
tablished, calling for five hours
of instruction each night and

see the equipment In use and
to personally perform various
farm operations such as plow-
ing, discing and planting.
They we're given mimeo-
graphed material for future ref
erence In tracking down oper-
ating difficulties In the intricate
equipment.
Upon completion of the
course, the men we're quickly
placed on farms by yrepresenta-
tives of the Employment Secur-
ity Commission. Employers in
cluded a Smyrna fertilizer COM
pany, a Bridgeville food dproces-
sing company, a country club,
and farms in the Milford, Ches-
void and Magnolia areas.
The men seemed to respond
enthusiastically to the training
they received.
81 had the feeling that they
felt they learnedmore from this
than from any form of instruc-
ton they had ever had before, "
Davidson said.
That impression of the train
ees has since been reinforced
by the regular arrival of pay
checks.

School TV
Bill Passed
BY House
Tuesday

The House Tuesday passed a
bill to provide $50, 900 for tel
evision sets for the public
schools for use In educational
teleHsion programs.
The money would be allo-
Gated so one teleNsion set
would be assured for each 100
pupils, according to James M.
Rosbrow, chairman of the Gov
ernor's Committee on Educa-
uonal Television.
Rosbrow said that teleH-
sion sets would be mobile so
they could be transferred
within classrooms and also used
for general assemblies In the
schools.
He said assurance has been
given by the Tri-State Broad
casting Corp, a group on which
Delaware has four of IL mem
bers, that boosters designed to
provide uniform reception
throughout the state will be in
stalled.
Channel II, an educational
television station, will open
Wilmington studios Sept. IL.
Before passing the bill, the
House tabled an amendment Of
fered by Rep. T. Lees Bartl-
eson, (R) Brandywine Hundred.
that would have eliminated a
section that would transfer
money now appropriated to pay
a supervisor for handicapped
children In the Department of
Public Instruction.

Unemployed Put Back To Work By Manpower
Development And Training Program

Today's farmer isn't what
he used to be.
This fact is reflected In a
course for farm equipment op-
orators recently completed in
Delaware under the Manpower
Development and Training Act.
The course was proposed as
the result of a marked change
In agriculture, a swing away
from the small one-man farm
to the large-scale operation in
which a single person farms
large acreages with the aid
of modern agricultural equip
ment.
The development ofnew, more
efficient machinery In recent
years has created the need for
trained men as operators.
Paul M. Hodgson, assistant
state superintendent for voca-
donal education, Dover, and 10
seph A. Bradshaw, chairman
executive director of the En-
ployment Security C Commission,
Wilmington, said today that the
course was successful and may
indicate one answer to the un-
employment problem.
ALI nine trainees who COM
pleted an eight-week course at
Milford High School were pla-
ced with employers, seven of
them In agricultural enter
prises.
Hodgson and Bradshaw indi-
Gated that more qualified men
could have been placed if they
had been available.
Before the trainees began the
course, all were unemployed.
Under the provisions of the
Manpower Development and
Training Act, only unemployed
individuals are eligible for such
training.
Before plans we're drawn up
for the training course, an area
skill survey was conducted In
Kent and Sussex Counties by the
Employment Security Commits
sion to establish the need for
such training. Howard Nowland,
ESQ representative in Dover,
visited potential employers with
Dan Koble, state director ofvo-
cational agriculture. The need
was apparent.
The employers Newpointw
summed up by A. c. Davidson,
vocational agriculture teacher
at Milford who directed the In
structional phase of the course.

made its decision-to stay at
Massachusetts avenue and
Tenth street NE.
The action was taken
after careful study and Sc
rious discussion Of a lengthy
72-page report to members
by q special study commit
tee, headed by Donald D.
Allen. The committee was
established more than q year
ago, January 18, 1862, and
its findings were submitted
to members in November.
Alternatives Explored
Numerous aspects Of the
situation were analyzed and
alternatives explored. The
latter included disbanding
the congregation. making no
basic changes, merging with
another group, relocation and
developing new directions in
ministry on Capitol Hill.
The report strongly pointed
out, Ingram is by no means
alone in this situation. The
fate which has overtaken
Ingram has overtaken many
Protestant churches Of many
denominations in many cities.
One need only look at
our Capitol Hill neighbor
churches to realize our situa-
ton is not unique even on
the Hill. In a sense then the
problem is larger than In
gram and even larger than
the denomination. It would
appear to be a problem Of
Professionalism itself"
The conclusion was that
"the Protestant church is
not satisfying the needs OF
city dwellers. without guide
lines to follow, congregations
seeking ways Of meeting these
needs are thrown on their
own.
Response Demonstrated
After considerable thought,
members Of Ingram Church
adopted q motion stating the
congregation "is needed
where 1t is, and the congre-
CATION has already demon
strated a response to this
need"
Admitting that loss OF
membership, because so many
live at q distance, is in
evitable, the report noted
that "as an inner-city church
serving an inner-city neigh
borhood, we may never be
fully self-supporting. Yet we
would not have to undertake
new ministries alone. We
can expect help in stating
new programs and help with
related costs.
Furthermore, strength
ened ministries responsive to
the needs Of the various
groups In the neighborhood
can be expected to increase
the appeal Of our church to
potential members Of all
races from the surrounding
area.
"Ingram's strategic loca-
ton, together with its loyal
and Woodworking member
ship and prospective assist
ance from others. offers an
unparalleled opportunity for
Christian witness"
The Rev. Charles Dyson
Friou is minister Of Ingram
Church, which was organized
in 1908. President Taft laid
the cornerstone for the pres
ent building in July 1903.
with the dedication in May
1910.
The action means that an
other old and respected con-
gregation will remain on
Capitol Hill to meet that
areas needs.
