bridgeTille School Children
Greet Admiral Byrd
Last Friday the student body Of
Bridgeville School unexpectedly had
the privilege of greeting Rear ADJ
lniral Richard z. Byrd at the rail-
road station in Bridgeville, where
he was enroute to Cambridge for
I the purpose of starting his lecture
tour relative to his recent sojourn
near the South Pole. Admiral Byrd
| gretted the five hundred odd school
children and their parents with a
lew well chosen words in regard to
his past experience and future plans.
The opportunity of seeing and hear
ing such an International figure as
Admiral Byrd is one which is rarely
presented to school children of ru-
raj Delaware. 1t was greatly appre-
ciated by the children who will re-
member Admiral Byrd in their fu-
ture study of the geography of the
South Pole especially remembering
that he has added to the map of the
world vast areas of land and water.
