POLICE ATTEND
F. |. COURSE
Defense Course Being Held in
Dover This Week For
Delaware Police
TO BE HELD SIX DAYS

The FBI Civilian Defense cours-
es for police of the State of Della
ware and the Eastern Shore of
Maryland is being held at Dover,
November II to November %, in
elusive, according to an announce
ment made by Mr.. E. A. Soucy,
Special Agent in Charge of the
Baltimore Field Division of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Mr.. Soucy states that this school
ing is an educational project to in
struct local, county, metropolitan,
and State Police agencies in the
problems of Civilian Defense, and
the program has been so drawn up
that it will be of benefit to the
Chief of Police of the small town
as well as to the police executives
of the larger cities. This school,
which is similar to other schools
being held throughout the country,
is known as the FBI Civilian De-
fense Courses for Police and is be-
ing conducted with the approval of
Mayor Fiorelle H. LaGuardia, Di-
rector of the United States Civilian
Defense. The school lasts for a
period of six days and will be at
tended by selected officers of local
and State police agencies for the
purpose of discussing in detail
problems of Civilian Defense and
wartime duties of police. These
Civilian Defense Courses for Po-
lice, Mr.. Soucy advises, cover the
entire field of police emergency
duties in wartime from enforcing
blackouts to stacking sandbags.
The aim is purely one of education
to teach American policemen
how to function more efficiently if
enemy bombers were ever to cross
our shores. For several months
during the extensive bombing of
London by the Germans, two repre-
sentatives of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation were in London
studying and observing the protec-
tive measures used by the police
men, firemen, and afraid person
mel of London and other English
cities. The information gained by
these representatives is now avail
able to American law enforcement
agencies. This educational program
includes the following wartime and
emergency duties: Convoy Work,
Guarding Protected Places and
Areas and Utility Surveys, Black
out Enforcement, Cooperation with
Other Emergency Agencies, Action
in Case of Grounded Enemy Air
craft and Barrage Balloons, Gas
Decentralization, Prevention of
Malicious Acts, Internal Security

SHS BASKETBALL

The Smyran High basketball can
didates, coached by John Doerr, are
undergoing strenuous preseason
practice but the boys still have a
long way to go before they'll be in
any shape for their opening game
with the powerful Brown Vocation
al quintette from Wilmington on
January Z, just one day after they
return to school from prolonged
Christmas vacation. The teams
strength has already been handi-
capped by the fact that Buddy
O'Neil, promising Junior, has
been forced to give up the game
because of his doctors orders. He
was going places, too.
Those most likely to get starting
berths on the squad, according to
this early survey, are four letter
men from last year: Bob Jacobs,
Harold Hopkins, Fred Stevenson,
and Bobby Lower. Penner Slaugh-
ter, this seasons most promising
player, will no doubt be among the
starters with Dick Scorah and
Jack Francis in there pitching, too.
The highlight of the season will
probably be the so-called "test
game" with Dover when Smyrnas
coach, John Doerr, and Dover's
coach, George Records (who was at
Smyrna only two years ago) will
be battling it out for honors. This
will be more of a coach VS.. coach
affair rather than a team VS.. team
contest-and may the best man
win. Two fine coaches! Two flight
ing teams

A MIDDLE REPORTS HOW THE
REUBEN JAMES AFFECTED
HIM:
Well start the column off, today,
with a paragraph taken from a let
ter sent to me by Armstrong Ham
ilton, former student of Smyrna
High School and Senior Class pres
ident of 1889, now a Midshipman at
the United States Naval Academy.
'By the way the sinking of the
Reuben James had quite a meaning
to me last week not only because
of the fact that it was a Navy ship.
One of the officers lost with her
was on the USS Buchanan with me
and 1 knew him quite well. He
helped me with Geometry, etc.,
when I was preparing for the ex-
am for Prep Glass. In fact, he was
the officer in charge of giving me
that exam and 1 took it in his
stateroom. His name was James
M. Belden and he was a Reserve
Officer who entered the Academy
and had bilged out. I've often re-
marked that I'd remember him as
one of the best Naval Reserve Of
ficers that 1 ever had contact with
and you can imagine how funny 1
felt when I read of his death. Boy,
they're getting closer and closer,
now"
Before "Hamie" entered the
Naval Academy he was an enlisted
man and last year, while he was
stationed aboard the USS Buchan-
an, took exams in order to enter
the Naval Academy Prep Glass at
Norfolk, Va, prior to entering the
United States Naval Academy at
Annapolis, Md. and it was on the
Buchanan that he became acquaint-
ed with Belden.

NOTES OF THE ELITE AND
THE HOI-POLLOI
(As recorded by a local-hovl

CAS- recorded by local-boy.)
You know, after that little fracus
in front of Snaps a couple of
weeks ago, F. B. Gebhart (young
Jim Turner's one reason for want
ing to die) sarcastically suggests
the trade name of "Shap's Pugilis-
tic Parlors. Heb, heh!-WE say,
Snaps Browl ROOM Omigosh!
He'll probably cut my credit off for
a month for this kinda chatter.
The heat is on, now, at Mr.. Shap-
lley's Soda Lounge Gam I forgiven,
Henry?) to see who'll wind up the
season with the highest average in
the Saturday Quarterback pool to
pick the best out of fourteen win
ners each week in the national grid
scramble. At the present, Jack
Francis, and Shap are tie for first
place with Buzzy Deakyne and
Ronnie Grier trailing slightly be-
hind.-Here's the question about
last weeks contest. Who collect
ed the money that Harry Jones is
supposed to have won? His daugh-
ter, Mary Ellen.-Listen to this
heart-breaker Gene Goldsborough
had his selections all picked and as
he handed them in changed his
winning choice from Duquesne to
Mississippi State. The winning
score was II wins, 3 losses. Mis-
sissippi State lost and Genes score
was 10 wins, 4 losses. If he had
MT changed his selections at the
last minute he would have been
riding on the gravy Tough!
By golly, 1 never saw so much
interest shown around here toward
the Delaware U football team until
Ray Smith and Charlotte Everett
signed up. Cute little Charlotte
has attracted quite a few of our
home town romeos to Newark
What's this we hear about the
Smyrna Cafe Society celebratin'
rather heavily down Lotus Gard
ems" way this past Saturday?
You'd be surprised at the darlings
and the goody-goodies who cele-
brated the most.-After Delaware
US close and lucky win over Drex-
ell, 7-6, last Saturday, maybe the
Washington College boosters in this
locality will come out of their shell
and start yellping about their
teams prospects for this Satur-
days game at Wilmington Park.
Does anybody wanna go insane and
lay some bets on WC?-Oh how
"Buzzy" Speakman, of the Army,
would like to know the gents name
that strolled away from the Wagon
Wheel with Mary Lou-loo Porter

ports we hear that young Don En-
mis- stationed aboard the USS

Academy Prep Glass at Norfolk,
Va which means he'll take the
regular Naval Academy entrance
exams sometime next spring. Good
luck to this local lad.-After win
ming that Saturday Quarterback

himself up as the town expert on
picking the winners and will charge
ten cents per for advice on the var
ious games. Give me a guarantee,

They are: AFL drivers and
