Former State Employee Is Now
Safety "PrOfessOr" At Purdue

Professor j. L. Lingo, a former
employee of the Delaware Motor We
hicle Department, arrived in Will
mington on Monday for a series oi
conferences with members of the
State Highway Commission on mod
ernizing the Motor Vehicle Depart
ment. Mr.. Lingo is also director of
Purdue University's Public Safety
Institute.
Extent of the proposed moderni-
zation will depend upon certain
legislation that is going to be sug-
gested" to the general Assembly,
according to F. v. DUPONT, chair
man of the Highway Commission.
A leave of absence has been ar
ranged for Mr.. Lingo which will
enable him to come to Delaware
every other week during the next
several months to assist with the
proposed modernization.
"The members of the Highway
Commission are very fortunate, in
their judgment, in being able to Sc
cure the services of Mr.. Lingo, and
appreciate the cooperation of Purdue
University" Mr. DUPONT declared.
1.-THE fact that Mr.. Lingo was for
merly in the department will, in our
judgment, permit him to do a bet
ter job in less time than If he had
not been a former Delaware resi-
dent" he stated.
Mr.. Lingo served for two years as
an examiner for the Delaware Motor
Vehicle Department, and was in
charge Of the Georgetown Office for
two years.

at $4,000.
Half of the town wonld have
been threatened had Il not rained
for several hours preceding the fire,
according to w. Herald Britting-
ham, president Of the Lewes Fire
Company. Fiery embers alighted
on the roofs of houses within a mile
radius but did no damage.
Parts of the fire hall roof caught
fire several times but the volunteers
kept streams of water playing on
the structure. Quick work by the
firemen also prevented the flames
from spreading to the house occu-l
pied by Elwood Hudson and family,
only two feet from the garage.
The fire was discovered by a
passerby who turned in the alarm.
Lewes volunteers, arriving several
minutes later, found the interior a
mass of flames. The show room was
constructed of cement blocks while
the garage section was of wood.
Exploding gasoline tanks on the
cars, seven of which we're new
models and IA secondhand, also
constituted a menace to the fire
fighters. i
Fearing spread of the blaze, calls
were sent to Georgetown and Re-
hOboth Beach companies, but their |
services were not required.
The garage business was operated |
by Carl B. Baylis and his son, Stale |
representative Norman Baylis.

sighs a lot over the situation, but
that is about all.
In the last two years the three
most conspicuous additions to the
masculine glamour set all have been
developed by one studio. Paramount.
The three are Milland, who was
around for several years; William
Holden and Stirling Hayden. Half
heartedly, what with glamour di-
vision composed of Enrol Flynn,
Warmers have paid bit of atten-
ton to Jeffrey Lynn and more lately
to Ronald Reagan. Nothing the
studio has done for either, however,
has prepped them to step into
Flynn's doublet and hose, nor to
make other studios cast longing
eyes at them when Gary Cooper is
otherwise occupied. They are all
right for lower, if not exactly low,
budget pictures, but when the chips
are down, as the sports Shakespeares
say, the veterans get the call.
Metro Just Stands Pat.
Metro Goldwyn Mayer, which
most other studios contemplate with
a delirium of jealousy when they
consider talent is standing pat on
its four aces, Clark Gable, Spencer
Tracy, Melvyn Douglas and Robert
Taylor. 1t adds to its roster such
people as Philip Dorm, but in the
main it acts as if its big four were
immortal, which, so far, seems to be
the case.
