DEFENSE ASSEMBLY HELD AT
HIGH SCHOOL ON WEDNESDAY,

Former Superintendent of State
Police John r. Fader now associa-
ted with the Delaware Safety Coun-
Gil, was in charge of a defense pro-
gram presented in the auditorium
at the Milford Junior-Senior High
School on Wednesday morning.
Three English-made films deal
ing with the Island Empires gal
liant fight against the aerial might
of Nazi Germany were shown. The
films were a revelation to many of
the town-folk who we're fortunate
enough to be present and see them.
For many, like the writer, did not
know that the English had such an
efficient system of protecting them
selves against aerial attack, and to
combat the fire, etc, attendant
with raids.
We hope that Mr.. Fader can be
induced to return to Milford with
these pictures and shown them to
a mass meeting of the citizens of
this community.

man. The hate of peoples is
gaining such proportions we
must try to overbalance it with
