OCEAN VESSELS
WAIT OFF LEWES
Jam Delaware Breakwater
Waiting to Be Cleared
By U. S. Navy
WEATHER CAUSE DELAY

The famous Delaware Breakwat-
er off Lewes has been crammed
with more than 20 ocean-going ves-
sells seeking harborage and waiting
to be cleared by the Navy for pas
sage up the Delaware River. Not
since the turn of the century, when
ships reported at Lewes for sailing
orders from all over the world, has
the harbor been so filled. Marine
authorities at the Breakwater said
the merchant ships, tankers, tugs
and barges came in during Satur-
day night, and due to high north
west wind and rough sea the Navy
station ship was unable to clear
them all for immediate departure.
Since December 13, the station
ship off Lewes has been boarding
all vessels entering or leaving the
Delaware River to establish their
identification. The procedure takes
from one and one half to two
hours. The arrival of the large
number of ships aroused much cur
iosity in Lewes, leading to a report
they had been driven in by an
enemy submarine off the coast.

The

One of the most inspiring sights
we have ever seen was the happy
expression on As little faces at the
Rotary Clubs Christmas party last
week. A full course turkey din
ner, a magician and a gift from
Santa Claus was almost too much
for the youngsters. The fact that
each one received the gift he ask
ed for made many little boy and
girl happy. Some were too excited
to eat, others licked the platter
clean-and all eyes were as big as
saucers. When, at the end, they
raised their little voices in all SER
iousness to sing "Silent Night,
hardly an adult eye in the place
was dry.
A carload of orchids to the Ro-
tary Club for inaugurating the first

Christmas time for those young

ate children enjoy.
Some folks around here had a
bad scare last Friday night, for
they were convinced that bombs
were dropping near here. It hap
pened to be thunder, out of season,
but it caused lot of hearts to
stop beating.
Hamie Hamilton, home from the

Horthy Rules Hungary But Nozis in Control

NOMINAL head of Hungary is
 Admiral Nicholas Horthy, the 73-year-old regent, who rules from an imperial palace but has no empire, who Is an admiral in a country which has no navy and who waits the return of the Haps- burgs, whom he doesn't want.
 To further complicate matters, Hungary joined the axis in 194O under German pressure and whatever control Horthy now wields is delegated to him by Nazl overlords.
 The stamp above was issued March 24, 1941. The surtax was used to finance civilian and army pilot training through the Horthy National Aeronautic Fund.
 Horthy is technically a dictator. He suppressed the Bolshevik gov~ ernment of Bella Kun in 1920. Hungary was declared monar- chy and Horthy was named res gent.
 { He received the rank of admiral in World War I when he com- manded the Austro- Hungarian navy.
 His regency Is an anomaly. He represents the non-exiStent king of a kingless Kingdom. The near. est claimant is 2o-year-old Areh- duke Otto, and the possibility of his accession is slight.

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. Flick
er celebrities are becoming in
creasingly wary of visitors, and
I'm told by a disbruntled sales
man that he scarcely ever can get
his foot in q door these days. Too
many trick devices, such as one
way-vision glass and photo-elec-
trio eyes.
And sometimes, he says, push
buttons aren't even connected to
bells inside houses. Instead, they
may set off signals in watchmen's
quarters, bringing burly "out-
door buffers" at a gallop. The lat
ter treat an unscheduled visitor
with just about the same court
esy they'd extend to a prowler
caught lurking In the shrubbery.
The salesman's most disquiet-
ing experience came the other
day at the home of a medium
grade actress. Before he even
could push a button the front
door swung wide, and there stood
a man, presumably the husband,
with a shotgun. Sorry, casually
said the gent with the artillery,
I'VE were expecting someone
else. BY the way, what do you
want?"
"Nothing!" said the salesman
for the first time in his long
and audacious career. Must be
the wrong address"

UP FROM THE DEPTHS

A war always produces it share Of
those stories which are stranger than
fiction. But surely no stranger, more
weird story hos come out Of the war
than thot of the submarine Thetis, re-
surrected from wotery grave to send
another underseo monster down to Toxic
her pIoce.
The Thetis wos on q triol run in the
Irish SEQ in June, 1899 when she sank
and corried SO men to their death. Five
months later she was Ioboriously raised,
beoched, and recondtioned. Now the
British Admiralty soys it was this same
Thetis, commissioned as the Thunder
bolt, which sank on Italian submarine.
Ships have been raised from the
wotev depths before. but to otone for
this resurrection by sending onother
down to toke its pIoce on the serene,
uv,eorthly ocean floor, is deed no fie-
ticneer hos yet even ddsed to imooins.

one from Chicago, one from
Cleveland and one from New
