ATTENDANCE CONTEST
Burrell Gas Mask to be Presented
Company Receiving Most Votes

One of the newest and unique
publicity features is being arrang-
ed by the committee making ar
rangements for the annual conven-
ton and parade Of the Delaware
Volunteer Firemen's Association
which takes place at Georgetown
on Thursday, July 10. There will
be an attendance contest" staged,
the idea being to draw as many
citizens from towns throughout
the State as possible. In this con-
nection, Harry A. Schagrin, presi-
dent of the New Castle County
Association, has contributed a $50
Burrell Gas Mask to the company
in the State or out of the State,
receiving the most votes on the
day of the parade. Every person
over II years of age is entitled to
cast one vote for one fire company
in a box on the Green at George
town during the hours of 9 a. m.
and 2 p. m. July 10. It is up to
the various companies to work for
the attendance of as many citizens
as possible to attend the parade.
The Burrell Al-Service Gas Mask
is the only mask officially approv-
ed by the U. S. Government for
protection against carbon monox-
ide, ammonia, smoke and all pois-
onous gases. Robbins Hose Com
pany, Dover, has requested City
Council to purchase three of these
masks for their use. The George
town Fire Company will award
prizes for the best decorated bust
ness places and homes during the
event Ferris Giles, decorator
from Wilmington, will be engaged
to do large amount of the street
decorating. Prizes will also be
awarded to the various fire COM
panies and musical organizations,
participating in the parade. Presi-
dent w. w. Pettyjohn, of Dover,
who will preside over the session
of convention, states that the
meeting this year will embody
some of the most important items
of business ever brought before
the association. He also states
that the committee is busily en-
gagged in making the parade one
of the best ever held. Many com
panies throughout the State have
already elected delegates and al
ternates and are making plans to
participate in the parade.

BANK TO PAY TEN PER CENT
Peoples National Bank, Middle
town, Makes Distribution

Creditors of the Peoples Ma
tional Bank, Middletown, which
went into the hands of a receiver,
after it closed on December IA,
1928, are now receiving an addi-
tional 10 per cent on their depos-
it's. The first and only payment
heretofore was of 33 1-3 per cent
which was announced on May 16,
1929, and subsequently was made
by a previous receiver, ]. M.Swan.
BY that first dividend approx
mateIy 100000 was released and
distributed, the largest check be-
ing for $4,000 Naturally this ten
per cent division, which is less
than one-third of the original
amount will be proportionately less
but it will, nevertheless, be well
coined by those who have for so
long been waiting for money
which has been tied up by the fail
ure of the bank. Mr.. TWeedale
said that his forces are still at
work endeavoring to realize on all
possible assets and hope to be able
to have a further division as soon
after the 10 per cent checks are
distributed as is possible. Just
how long this may be, he would
not venture to say.

AUTO AIRPLANE COLLISION
Chevrolet Six Plays an Important
Role in Head-On Collision

A Chevrolet Six recently played
an important role in what is be-
lieved to be the first case on rec
ord of head-on collision between
an automobile and an airplane.
The car, one of twelve Chevrolet
SKIES used by Detroit immigration
authorities in border paurol work.
was being driven by- Stanley We
rambo, senior Inspector, whose
duties consist in thwarting at
tempts to smuggle aliens across
the Border. Inspector Zerambo
had to his credit six planes seized
in this nefarious traffic, and had
been watching for some time a
seventh plane said to have operat-
ed for six weeks on regular sched-
ule flying aliens from Canada to
American soil. After several at
tempts to seize the plane, its pilot
and illegal cargo had failed, In
spector Zerambo was scouting
along the Dertoit river front
shortly after sunrise, on June 1,
when he spotted the plane heading
from Canada toward an open field
just beyond the Dertoit city line.
Speeding to the spot Inspector
zerambo swung into the field in
his Chevrolet just as the plane
landed, and drove directly into its
path to shut off retreat. When
the pilot saw the official car in
front of him, he sought to ward
off capture by speeding the motor
up in a desperate effort to lake off
again. Inspector Zerambo, in the
split second available to make a
decision, weighted the ruggedness
Of the car against the strength of
the plant, and drove head-on into
the whirring propeller. Result:
Another seized plane added to In
spector Zerambo's impressive rec
ord disabled plane with a shat
tered propeller and damaged
wing; two alien prisoners; and es-
capped pilot; Inspector Zerambo
slightly shaken up and bruised;
and a car with damaged right
front door, fender, radiator and
the radiator cap picked off by The
propeller. Despite the damage to
the Chevrolet it came out a decid-
ed victor in the crash, for while
the plane was totally disabled, In
spector Zerambo was able to back
the car cut of the wreckage and
drive it under its own power, with
his prisoners safely aboard, to De-
troit headquarters.

FINE JOBS ARE PLENTIFUL
Everyone of Al Engineering Grad
uates Has Been Offered Position

With the commencement exer-
cises of the University of Della
ware last week, and the time at
last reached for departure from
the classic halls of the Newark in
stitution, inquiry made at the Uni
versity shows that practically
every senior has accepted employ
ment or has been offered a posi-
tion, or, in the case of the art
courses, preparation has been
made to enter graduate schools.
In the Engineering Department,
Dean Spencer reports that every
one of the forty-one engineers who
graduated on Monday has been Of
fered position, or has accepted
one. In the Agricultural Depart
ment, Dean McCue reports three,
at least, of the five graduates,
have accepted places, and the 9TH
ers have been made offers. Dean
Dutton, of University of Delaware,
reports that of the thirty-four who
graduated with the degree of
Bachelor of Arts. the majority
have signified their intention to
enter graduate schools of law,
medicine, or business administra-
tion. Some of the others have ac-
cepted positions, or have been Of
fered them and it is believed that
every one of the students has
made some choice, either in grad
uate work, teaching, or other po-
sitions.
