It is to the solution of these problems that wo all devote our attention.

EaUnd the Pottoffice at Denton. at dan mall matter. Saturday Morning, January 9, 1937. ALLURE OF DELMARVA Hundreds of persons nnd millions of good American dollars are pouring into, the Delmarva Peninsula. This welcome influx is made up of men, women, and children who delight in rural living, riding, driving, golfing, sailing, boating, fishing, gunning, crabbing, bathing, and the many other diversions which are inseparable from such an environment.

Some are enjoying the experience of passing the sunrise of life "cradled between the bays" and waxing in strength and stature. Others who have reached life's meridian, and who have become satiated with dwelling in large cities and towns, find that Delmarva supplies all they need for the re- knitting of frazzled nerves and the building of flaccid muscles. Men and women who are approaching the sunset of life find in Delmarva a splendid place to enjoy the delights of relaxation, meditation, and the milder forms of recreation which keep them in good health and prolong their lives. From the Pennsylvania line on the north to Cape Charles on the south, the Delmarva Peninsula is studded the handsome homes and broad acres of men, women, and children who have tired of city life and who, for longer or shorter periods or all the time, seek relief from metropolitan distractions in an environment in which quietude, pure watar, fresh air, and healthful recreation make up the order of the day, at least for a large portion of the year if not for the entire 12 months. The native population of our Peninsula is not being supplanted.

Far from it. It merely is being augmented by a wholesome and welcome influx of most delightful persons from here, there, and everywhere. Just when and where this influx will end nobody can tell. It will be good if it- never ceases. Only benefit can flow to our Peninsula by winning as residents and home owners good men, women, and children who love in advance the countrysides and watersides on which they settle.

In conclusion, it would be well for us all, on the threshold of the new year, to look abroad at dictator-ridden Europe. In many great countries the free press has been abolished. Free speech has become a crime. All criticism of those in power has been silenced with imprisonment and death. In some countries the right to worship has been abrogated by law, tiie state has been made Divine, the dictator in power must be regarded as a god, and the individual has been reduced to an actual state of slavery.

While we pity the citizens of those nations, and wonder that such things could have come to pass in this century, we can learn an invaluable lesson from their plight. We still live under a Constitution that guarantees us freedom of religion, freedom of speech and freedom of press. Upon the preservation of that Constitution and the liberties it guarantees depends the future of the Uunted States and the American people. In the pursuit of nn economic millenium we must not sacrifice national ideals and principles that are the very lifeblood of democ- right," he shot back, "Every man for his own country." In anulher gathering a man shouted, "Oh, you're not so much. Your dad used to peddle vegetables with a donkey and curt.

1 "Yes," said the orator, "that is true. My father was a very poor man. The cart has long since disappeared, but I see the donkey is still with us." FELLOWSHIP IN WINTER We hear much about the products of the various seasons. Winter is not great on producing farm crops. But the most valuable product in the world, which is friendship, can be very assiduously cultivated in winter.

There is some reason to imagine that winter conditions arc specifically favorable to produce friendships. In summer you go off on popular frolics, and people flood the roads of the nation in their cars. But these pursuits don't draw people very closely together. You won't make many friends just by hollering at a ball game. Winter drives the people indoors, and tells "em to create social life.

That draws people close together. When you serve on some committee with somebody, you get closer to that person in an evening than you would in a week of general hilarity of the good old summer time. NEW STUDENTS MAY ENROLL AT THE SALISEJURY COLLEGE ON A A 25TII RAYIJURN CHOSEN AS HOUSE LEADER racy. NATIONAL IDEALS PRESERVE DEMOCRACY The nation has come to the end of an eventful year. For the first time since the worst days of depression, industry has felt the stimuli of better times, of broadening markets, of creased earnings.

Prospects for the future are immeasurably brightened. Yet we must not be blind to the vital problems that all of us as individuals and as members of the economic and social order, still face. The depression, for example, caused a great increase in the burden of taxa- tion and, more serious still, an unprecedented rise in the public debt. The time for debating the wisdom of emergency spending has passed, and the time for balancing our books has come. No less a figure than the President has said that it should soon be possible to meet outgo with income, so far as the Federal government is concerned, and in achieving that he will have the wholehearted assistance of all responsible elements in our national life.

Furthermore, once the budget is balanced, we must apply ourselves rigorously to reducing the debt and thus eventually decrease the tax load. Such a program would give the strongest possible spur to the recovery STATE SHOULD RESTORE TEACHERS' PAY The action of Pai'ent-Tcachcr groups and other interested bodies and individuals throughout Caroline county, as well as over the entire State, in urging full restoration of teachers' salaries, is a very timely and meritorious one. In 1933, when economic conditions were very bad, public school instructors took their reductions in salary in a very patriotic way, without murmur cr complaint, willing to do their bit in an effort to make both ends meet as far as governmental finances were concerned. Now that the depression is passed it is but simple justice that the temporary reduction be restored. It has been pointed out that the pay-scale for teachers in Maryland is extremely low and that the effort which the State makes to support its educational program, which is measured by the ratio of its actual expenditure to its potential tax-paying wealth, places it second from the bottom of the entire 48 States.

The street-sweepers of Annapolis, the State Capitol, it has also been cited in the connection are better paid than the oldest and most experienced elementary teachers in any of the conn, ties of the State, which adhere to the 1933 pay-scal-e, despite the costly course of training which pedagogues are required to take. The average Caroline school teacher receives only $695 per annum. Such a restoration would entail no additional expenditure by Caroline county as this political sub-division participates in the State Equalization Fund. With recent rises in prices of all commodities it can be readily seen that the teachers, in view of their low basic salaries are really "taking it on the chin." Governor Nice in his message to the General Assembly advocated restora- movement. The problem of THE MARCH OF THE SUN The march of the sun from its low point at the end of the year, to the high noon of summer is a thrilling spectacle.

It is a comforting thought that every day this center of nil our life is now coming nearer. Before science began to explain the mysteries of the universe, the movements of the sun must have caused deep anxiety. The ancients must have trembled to see the sun sinking deeper every day. Would this light of all life disappear forever and leave them to perish in frozen horror? This must have been a question often asked. How they must have in ancient times when finally the sun turned homeward again.

We today know there is no danger of the sun's disappearing. But the beginning of its return is a preliminary note for the joyful symphony of spring. PREPARE NOW FOR WINTER Sub-zero weather may be "just around the and in anticipa- iton of the -worst, the Keystone Automobile Club of Maryland comes forward with practical advice to motorists. Precautions that will eliminate the hardship and inconvenience of winter motor'failure are listed in timely bulletin issued today. William S.

Canning, Engineering Director cf the Club, said experience has convinced the Club's Emergency Road Service Department that much of the trouble incident to cold weather can be avoided. His formula for trouble-free motoring follows: "First of all, make sure the battery is fully charged. Very few motorists know that a battery only one- quarter charge will freeze at 13 degrees above zero. At half-chnrge, it freezes at zero, but it is good for 98 below when fully charged. "Second, it is well to change from heavy to a lighter oil.

Even a strong battery will have difficulty in turning over a motor bogged down in heavy oil. Your dealer knows the correct grade for your car, Students desiring to enter the Stnte Teachers College at Salisbury for the first time at the beginning of the second semester on Monday, January 25, may select 1C semester hours from the following courses: American History, 3 semester hours; Art, Economics, English, Jl; European History, Music, Physical Education, Public Speaking, Trigonometry, and Sociology, 3. Other colleges of the State will nl- low students satisfactorily completing any of these courses advanced standing, provided a student desires to transfer. In fact not only a number of Maryland colleges, but a number of out-of-State colleges have expressed a willingness to accept with full junior standing students who have satisfactorily completed the first two years' academic work at tho Salisbury college. The cost of tuition, textbooks, activity and breakage fee for the semester is the total cost including beard and room is $105.50.

In view of thetfact that credit for courses completed at Salisbury is transferable to other colleges, and to the comparatively low cost, it is expected that number of new students will enroll for the second semester.

Sheppard Joslin, aged eighty- looms almost as largo today as it did at the abysmal low point Industry has pledged itself to do all within its power to curb; this intolerable condition, and in doing that it must have the help of government, to the extent that no legislation be passed which will frighten and discourage the investor the source of all productive employment. Certain specific industries, in spite of the progress they have made, are confronted with the gravest difficulties. The utility industry is a case in point. It has enjoyed a vast increase in power consumption yet this has been largely offset by artificial depressants, of which the principal one is the constant threat of subsidized competition both from Federal hydro-electric plants, and Federally-backed municipal plants. It is encouraging tn report, however, that negotiations are now under way to eliminate glaring inequalities.

Our largest single industry, the railroads, has felt the stimuli of recovery in material increases in freight and passenger traffic. But this industry, like the utilities, is hamstrung unless a salutary change in public policy is made. The railroads pay their own way, and are rigidly regulated in every phase of operation. Other carriers, to the contrary, are unregulated or half-regulated, and some are directly subsidized from the public treasury. Furthermore, there is the threat of new laws unsound in principle and unjustified in practice-that would in one way or another increase railroad operating costs at a time when the lines are supplanting deficits with modest profits, without providing means for the railroads 10 better their revenue in order to meet the bill.

In the field of merchandising a field which is intimately connected the welfare of every individual- there is the threat of laws that would penalize the efficient in the interest of the insufficient, at the expense of the consuming public. So ft goes, down the roster of industries. Other businesses insurance, mining, oil, manufacturing, At this season of the year, with the old year fast slipping into the limbo of forgotten things and a new year and a new day dawning for us, it is to stop and take stock of ourselves and to make resolutions to be kept during the New Year. One resolution we could make and which we could easily keep is "Resolved, that I am the only person on who knows how to drive!" If we remember this, and if we treat all other drivers as if they were incapable, reckless jackanapes, we could materially cut down our accident record. If you consider the other driver a fool, you won't argue with him about the right of way you will yield.

If you consider him a speed demon, you will pull over to the right and let him pass out of your life. If the other driver is a reckless idiot, he won't stop at a cross street intersection to let you pass, so you won't take it for granted that he will. Be the only sensible r'river on the road. Consider every other auto as being a dangerous weapon in the hands of a maniac. That way, you'Jl keep out of their way.

In disputes, you will yield. Depend on yourself for every driving problem. Place no dependence whatever on the other fellow. Give him no credit for brains or driving skill. Keep out of his way.

It is probably tiresome to have caution preached so constantly, but answer these two questions and you'll see the need for it. Has a serious auto accident ever happened to YOU? Do you want one to occur? The formula above is one we have seen used successfully for many years and we pass it on for your serious consideration and, we trust, adoption. It is, simply, "I am the only driver who knows how to handle a car or conduct myself in an emergency. Every other driver is an idiot!" "Third, make sure the gas line and carburetor are clean. "Fourth, check the ignition and spark plugs.

"Fifth, use anti-freeze mixture in the radiator. Thirty per cent of denatured alcohol will guard against freezing at two degrees below zero; a like percentage of wood alcohol and glycerine will give protection at five degrees below; 50 per cent of glycerine alone will protect at zero. "While keeping the car in shape for cold weather, it is advisabs to remember that defects in safety factors will continue to develop, and that frequent checking and adjustments arc necessary for safe driving." HIS READY TONGUE In one of Lloyd George's early campaigns some one threw a brick through tho window, and it fell en the platform at his feet. Picking it up, he cried: "Behold the only argument of our opponents." From the gallery, a sullen fellow kept calling out "Rats! Rats!" in one of his meetings. "Will some one please take tho Chinaman his dinner?" was the witty and effective reply.

Once when he was talking rule," he said: "I want home rule for England, for Scotland, for Wales, for Ireland." At this point some one shouted, "Home rule for hell." "That's ORPHANS' COURT PROCEEDINGS The Orphans' Court for Caroline County met in' regular session on Tuesday, with Judges Towers, Handy and Dennis present.

Roumania will send a picked patrol of eight Scouts; Poland will be represented by 24 Scouts, and Canada and Mexico each plan to send a full Troop of thirty-three boys. Other countries planning to send contingents are Venezuela, Chile, Colombia, Bermuda, Poland, Denmark, Switzerland, Hungary, Luxembourg, India and Ceylon. Two Species of Mountain Sheep, Investigator Says In North America there are two species of mountain sheep, Rocky Mountain bighorn and Alaska white sheep, states a writer in the Washington Star. The desert bighorn is one of the sub-species of the Rocky Mountain bighorn, distinguished by its small size and pale color.

Its natural range includes the arid mountainous regions of the southwestern states and parts of Mexico. Desert vegetation eaten by these bighorns includes cactuses a other thorny plants. The tender leaves of the spiny, polelike ocotillo cactus are a favorite food. In times of food shortage old rams often butl their way through the thorny armament of barrel cactus to eat the juicy pulp inside the plant. In winter the hairy coat of these animals is dark brown, sometimes so dark that a band of sheep at a distance appears as a black spot moving across the light background of the desert sands.

During spring and summer, however, their coals are bleached by the sun into a dull yellow. Many of the old rams have fine horns long a cherished trophy of hunters which are larger in proportion to the weight of their bodies than the horns of larger species. Predatory animals that attack mountain sheep usually make a hasty retreat after one or two well directed butts. Mr. Harlan Blades, Mrs.

Harry Porter. Lammergeyer Is Feared by Children of Europe Mothers of Southern Europe often subdue their children with a threat of winged terror from the sky, W. H. Shippen, in the Washington Star. The lammergeyei- is supposed to swoop down upon runaway toddlers, bearing them off to devour them on some lofty mountain pinnacle.

Scientists, however, say the lammergeyer, or bearded vulture, likes turtles and marrow bones far better than he does bad boys and girls. He swings aloft with the turtle or bone and smashes his food open by dropping it on rocks far below. The lammergeyer's ten-foot wing spread enables him to fly away with lambs, pigs or young calves. He has become rare in his native mountains Southern Europe and is found mostly in North Africa or Southern Asia. The lammergeyer rears its young on the highest, most inaccessible crags, laying a single egg in a huge nest rudely constructed sticks.

He is one of Europe's biggest birds of prey. The small tuft of hair, or "beard," under his chin is more pronounced than in related species. The lammergeyer feeds meat, like the eagles. Mr. Arthur Starkey, of Cordova, has returned to his home after spending the holidays with Mr.
