ÎT PAYS TO ADVERTISE IN MILFORD CHRONICLE
Brownies Get Their Pins
On Thursday. February 3, ten
Brownies of Troop No. 8 received
their pins. They gave their pledges
and received their pins at the home
of Mrs. Irwin Burton. Troop leader.
Carol Isaacs received her pin from
her mother, Mrs. S. Peniwell Isaacs
who is assistant leader.
After this ceremony they served
their mothers and teachers with
punch and sandwiches they had
made. Miss Penny Kopf, their
senior scout assistant, was also
a hostess. The Brownies receiving
pins were: Betty Jo Craig, Carol
Tebbins, Gwen Frankel, Sharon,
Murphy, Jackie Sanderson, Nellie
Burton, Carol loaacs, Sue French,
Peggy Fitchett and Joan Mason.
Brownies are the little people
of the Girl Scout organization
which was founded in England by
Lord Robert Baden Powell. The
big girls were called Girl Guides
and the little English children used
to tag along after the Girl Guides.
In 1914 they were organized into
a group called "Rosebuds." The
youngsters objected to this name
so Lord Bayden Powell called them
"Brownies" in 1915, naming them
after the useful "Little People" in
Scotland and the North Country
of England.
"The Brownies" by Mrs. Juliana
Horatia Ewing is a charming story.
The Brownie Scouts everywhere
have come to feel that it is their
own story. It explains Girl Scouting
to this age group in a way they
can understand. It is about a l»oy
and a girl who live in the North
Country of England ami who hear
their Grandmother tell about the
useful "little people" of old times.
The story tells our Brownies that
there can be Brownies today if
children learn to be kind and help
ful around the home and learn to
do useful things.
The Brownies are the youngest
members of the Girl Scout organi
zation which offers a program
planned for girls from seven
through seventeen years old. The
purpose of Girl Scouting is to help
each girl become a happy resource
ful person herself, a responsible
member of her group, growing into
a useful citizen.
The Brownie Scouts first learn
how to play with other girls, how
to share in the troop to the best
of her ability, how to make her
Brownie Scout promise and how
to interpret the Brownie Story.
The Brownie Scout Promise: I
promise to do my best to love God
and my country, te help other peo
ple every day, especially those at
home.

A&P Stores Cut
Prices On Coffee
A&P Food Stores, the nation's
largest coffee distributor, today cut
coffee prices up to 12 cents a pound
on all four of its own brands.
The price slashes, to go into
effect in A&P Stores throughout the
country immediately, brought pre
mium quality coffee prices to the
lowest levels in almost two years;
and represented reductions of as
much as 40 cents a pound from the
highs of August, 1954.
The drastic reductions—first to
be announced by a national distri
butor of premium coffees since Sat
urday's break in the South Ameri
can green coffee market, brought
Eight O'clock coffee down to 79
cents a pound. Red Circle to 83
cents and Bokar to 85 cents. Prices
of the three-pound bags will be two
çents a pound lower.
In addition, A&P vacuum-packed
coffee was reduced to an all-time
low of 89 cents a pound.

Fluid milk production has been
on the increase in Delaware In the
last 10 years, according to
cent report from the department
of agricultural economics at the
University of Delaware. In 1953
fluid milk made up nearly 10 per
cent of the total cash farm income,
while in 1945 fluid milk constitu

$4,173,728, and Sussex $1,575,181.
Fluid milk ranks second in total
cash farm income received in Del

In 1953 there was an increase of
2200 cows in Delaware over the

LARGEST PART OF SAVINGS KEPT IN LIQUID FORM
of World W'ar II
Americans have saved 116 billion
dollars out of their personal in
comes. This meatis that during the
9 year period, 1946 through 1954,
their total spending for consump
tion was 115 billion dollars less
than the total income they received.
The largest share of the savings
total was kept in liquid form
cash, bank deposits, savings and
loan shares, and government'
enrities. Actually, individuals add
ed about 66 billion dollars to their
holdings of this type during the
period under review. Offset against
this is an increase of 20 billion
dollars in consumer indebtedness,
chiefly for goods purchased on in
stallment. Tims the increase in
liquid savings—net of the increase
in debt—was 46 billion dollars.
In appraising the importance of
post-war accumulations of liquid
savings it must be remembered that
they have been added on top of
the liquid assets in the hands of in
dividuals at the end of the
amounting to more than 150 bil
lion dollars. Individuals now hold
liquid assets of well over 200 bil
lion dollars.
The second most important of the
to which post-war savings
have been put is the purchase of
insurance. Individuals invested
about 38 billion dollars in insur

Allstate Insurance Co.
Making Reductions
Allstate Insurance Company, sub
sidiary of Sears Roebuck and Co„
is making rate reductions
averag
ing 40 per cent on automobile lia
bility and collision insurance for
women drivers under 25 years of
age in 32 more states and the Dis
trict of Columbia effective Febru
ary 1, according to Calvin Fen
tress, Jr., president.
Fentress said that adult rates
are being given to young
drivers on policies written on and
after February 1. 1955. If the
is regularly driven by a male driver
under 25 years of age the higher
young driver rates apply.
The actual dollar and cent
women
car
, sav
ings will vary with the make,
model, and year of the car, the
amount and kind of use to which it
is put, and the section of the rat
ing territory where it is principally
used, Fentress said.
Fentress explained that the
granting of adult rates on auto li
ability insurance to women drivers
under 25 years of age is based on
the differences in driving practices
of young men and women. The
mileage driven by young women is
considerably less than that driven
by young men, and young
women
8re less apt to be driving cars dur
ing the hazardous late evening and
early morning hours. This material
ly reduces their exposure to auto
mobile accidents. "We believe they
are far more careful in their driv
ing habits than are young male
drivers," Fentress said.
Allstate presently allows adult
rates for young women in Arizona,
California, Indiana, New York and
Tennessee. State Insurance De
partments of the following addi
tional states and the District of
Columbia have approved Allstate's
plan for reduced rates for young
women; Alabama, Arkansas, Colo

ance during the years 1946 through
J954.
During the same years Ameri
cans put 13 billion dollars of their
savings into their own homes. Ac
tually the value of the homes built
since World War II is fur in excess
of this amount—about 75 billion
dollars. However, most of the cost
of these homes was borrowed
mortgage — rather than provided
out of the savings of the purchas
ers, The 13 billion dollars
on
repre
sents savings applied to down pay
ments or to subsequent amortiza
tion of the mortgages.
Finally, 18 billion dollars of in
dividual savings were invested by
the savers in business enterprises
—either by purchase of corporate
securities or by investment, in
incorporated enterprises, including
farms.
It is significant that individuals
have preferred to keep about three
quarters of their savings in the
forms involving definite dollar
claims—insurance, cash, bank de
posits, government bonds, etc. Of
course some part of this goes in
directly into business investment,
as for example through the insur
ance companies and savings banks.
But only about 16 percent of post
war personal savings have been in
vested directly by the savers in
business enterprises.

Four Plane Spotting
Posts Reactivated
(Cöntinued from page one)
At Taylor's Bridge, the post it
self is still unoccupied because of
lack of heat but a number of
housewives have agreed to main
tain a spotting schedule from their
homes until arrangements can fie
made to use the post again. The
women call plane reports direct to
the Trenton, N. Y„ filter center.
In Selbyville, 72 spotters are
working under James Flood, post
supervisor. The group is receiving
string support from the Selbyville V
Lions Club. *
In Viola, Mrs. Lola Judy heads
a staff of 66 active spotters. Dur
ing its reorganization, the post re
ceived help from Town Council
man Eugene Sheats, who raised
funds to provide electric current.
Mr. Siients' employer, the Swift
Packing Company, furnished elec
tric wiring for the post.
Previously, the Smyrna post was
reactivated after being completely w
renovated by volunteer labor from
the Smyrna Junior Chamber of
Commerce. The^Jaycees also are 1*1
providing spotters for a 24-hour
period each week.
The Delaware City post, revived
some weeks ago, now has 104
live spotters under James Maden.
