THE GENERAL SERVICE BOARD
The Organizing Committee of the
General Service Board for Delaware
has issued a statement outlining the
questions that have been raised and re
porting the support so far received in
the systematic welfare campaign pro
ject for which funds now are sought.
The committee is seeking $10,000 a year
for a period of not less than three years
to conduct its work, an outline of which
is set forth in the statement just issued
by the Organizing Committee of the
General Service Board. The statement
is as follows:
We have been charged with the task
of determining the attitude of our
friends and fellow-citizens toward the
establishment and support of a General
Service Board for Delaware. It is the
intent of this first general progress re
port to the public to cover the few im
portant questions that seem to be upper
most in the minds of many who have
not yet sent in their membership sub
scriptions. We will also report herein
the support in membership and sub
scriptions so far received.
The work of the proposed Delaware
Society of Civic and Social Welfare to
be conducted by its proposed Executive
Body, the General Service Board of
Delaware, is three-fold. To understand
why at least $10,000 per annum for a
period of not less than three years is
needed to conduct this work in Dela
ware, it is necessary to correctly com
prehend the scope and line of work of
the proposed organization.
To decide with full justice and wis
dom upon what action should be taken
on a specific welfare or civic problem,
requires three distinct lines Of effort:
First: The thorough study of the
problem as particularly applicable to
local conditions.
Second: Thorough education and the
dissemination of information on the
question among the citizenship affected.
Third: The legal, legislative and
general propaganda work to finally se
cure the improvement needed.
To forecast how these three divisions
of work should be undertaken, the un
derlying principle causing this general
movement must be understood; namely,
that it is intended to definitely yet de
liberately advance all the principles
affecting
human health, while at the same
time giving every reasonable considera
tion to conservation of the material re
sources of the community, upon which
sane human advancement i3 also de
pendent. That is, while there should be
no intention to belittle property rights
but rather to preserve such rights, the
question of primary importance in the
conception and creation of this State.
Society shall be the securing and pro
tecting of the public health and social
well-being.
When organized, the General Service
Board will be subject to application from
existing organizations comprehended in
this general movement, and will also
undertake the initiation of moves on
any matters not covered by existing
societies but coming under the broad
scope of its plans.
The General Service Board upon de
ciding to take up any particular subject
no matter how originated, shall select a
special committee to work in conjunction
with the General Secretary of the
Board. The General Secretary shall be
the principal salaried official of the body
with all of his or her time to be devoted
to the work of the General Board. Each
specific committee shall be composed in
part of members of the Board and
members of the General Society. The
Special Çommittee shall proceed to a
thorough study of the problem, particu
larly assigned to it. Such committee in
addition to having the services of the
General Secretary should have the privi
lege of appointing such special agent or
agents as the financial appropriations
by the General Board will allow. The
Committee and its agents will under
take the study and collection of infor
mation both from outside ot the State
and within, using all other bureaus of
information available and if necessary
visiting other communities for such
time as is necessary to carefully find
out the practical effect of the application
elsewhere of the reform proposed for
Delaware.

$10,000 FOR 100 WORDS
One hundred dollars a word is the
fabulous price offered for the best sug
gestion for the final chapter of a splen
did mystery story which is to begin in
the Wilmington Sunday Star on June
28. The story, which is entitled "The
Million Dollar Mystery, " is to be pub
lished serially in The Star end at the
same time is to be shown in moving
pictures by the Thanhouser Film Com
pany in various motion pictures theatres
throughout Delaware.
Even without this absorbing feature
every Delawarean should be a constant
reader of The Star, for more than any
other Delaware newspaper, it is the
staunch and intelligent advocate and
supporter of everything that promises
good for Wilmington or Delaware or the
Peninsula.
No man or woman who wishes to keep
informed regarding the important de
velopments or proposals in politics and
civic betterment can afford to be with
out The Star, and no one who wants to
keep abreast of the news of the Penin
sula, including the things that other
papers dare not print, can hope to do so
without reading The Star.
It has been well said that '{he Star
sets the pace, and its- 46,000 readers, no
matter how many other papers they
take, find that it grows in interest and
value every week.
In order to extend the circulation of
the Star in Kent and Sussex counties
