were found. He also cited the fact
that because Delaware had the dis
tinction of being the first state of
the Union proved an inspiration to
the Jews of Delaware to be the
most law-abiding of its citizenship.

Community Center at the Delaware
State Fair, was repeated and was
the feature part of the program.
The first number of the pageant
was a flower dance. rendered by
Florence Weinberg, Esther Lipson.

tiers" were Katie Reube, Matilda
Bell, Rose Berman, Rose Barger,
Rose Novak.

rreted by Beatrice Miller and Irene

ning's program was the mlnuet
