Dear Editor:
I have been a subscriber to The
Smyrna Times for many years and
have always enjoyed glancing over
the activities of the Smyrna-Clay-
ton locality. I have particularly
enjoyed your column "Dribbles'
during the many months of war
Dribbles made it possible to indi-
rectly hear of the welfare and ac-
tivities of our service men, many
of whom I had not known person.
ally but their names brought back
memories of having known of them
or their parents.
For instance, letters received anc
published from such fine service
men as 1, Roland Sinex, James lie
Compte, George D. Wright ant
many others recall to my memory
years.
However, the real purpose of thi.
letter is to highly commend MI
William H. Kenworthey for tn,
splendid work he has don,
throughout the many months o
war. I know that his letters mus
have helped many of our boys il
a way that may never be known
generally. 1t would be very mic,
to hear more about the interestin;
contacts Mr.. Kenworthey mus
have experienced. He has givel
liberally of his time, much encour
agement and advice. In simpl
words - well done, Mr.. Ken
worthey!'
If 1t were possible to select on,
of your citizens as the one perso,
having done most for your com

TO THE EDITOR

September 29th, 1945
Mr.. William Kenworthy
Smyrna, Delaware
Dear Bill:
David c. Harrison Post No. IA
American Legion and the Auxil.
iary wish to express our thanks tc
you, Bill Kenworthy for your very
outstanding column published
every week in The Smyrna Times
We are deeply sorry you are "sign-
ing off,"
The letters received by you from
our Service Boys and Girls and
your breezy replies to them about
the old familiar places and the
loved ones at home make mighty
fine reading every Thursday.
The voluminous correspondence,
the research work, the keeping
track of the Honor Roll and the
close human touch with those in
service and their families at home
was a task of great magnitude
over period of three and one-half
years. Emerson said, 'The finest
gift to bestow is portion of thy
SELF. You did just that Bill Ken
worthy.
William Mabrey's letter from
Tokyo displayed in Mannerings
window by our adjutant Grant
Garis, is quite a portrait in a let
ter. What fine sense of humor
in his letter and in your reply.
Truly, a sense of humor is like
Gods grace in helping one through
a trying place.
Your column in The Smyrna
Times is unique for not to our
knowledge has any other newspap-
er, metropolitan or rural, conduct
ed such war service project.
Just in passing, your column
over such long period of time
would make a vivid, interesting
and educational book.
We of the Legion can only say
"Dribbles', many thanks for a
work well done.
We know that the Boys and the
Girls in the service will never for
get your interest in their welfare
Yours very truly,
MORGAN L. PARRY,
Commander

| DuckplnS had birthday here last
week. On January the now flour
ishing little pin game was 40 years
old.
This was revealed by Jack Will
| lian1S. former president of the Ma
tional Duckpin Bowling Congress
who rolled in the first match staged
here January 3, 1905, at the Palace
alleys on E street NV, between
teams representing the Govern
ment Printing Office and Washing
ton Post.
Jack, captain of the GPO team
which lost the first match to the
Post by a score of 1905 to 1880, ir
recounting the advent of duckpins
in washington, credits Harry Krauss
then manager of the Palace drives
and one of the city's all-time great
bowlers, with their introduction.
1t so happened according to Jack
that Krauss was rolling in a ten
pin match in Baltimore when he
noticed several alleys away a group
Of bowlers rolling with little balls
at little pins. Fascinated by the
new game, Krauss had several sets
of the midget naples sent him.
During those early Washington
bowling days when tenpins were all
the rage the Palace was a rendez-
vous for night printers in the after
Moons. 1t was on this group that
KrauSS Sprang the new pins.

Close 10 1000 Shoot
In Warmup Period;
Fortnight 10 Go
BY ROD THOMAS.

First week OF The Stars 17tt
annual bowling tournament brought
a spontaneous response from duck.
pin shooters throughout the Capita
area, with close to 1000 men ano
women competing, but it was only
a warm-up period. The event, dedi-
Gated to the Bowlers Victory Legion
and the Wings Of Mercy ambulance
plane program of the Women's In
ternational Bowling Congress, will
run for two weeks more. Many OF
those who already have taken pari
every time he rolls in league
bowler being permitted to ente,
ever ytime he rolls in a league
match.
A -Bowlers Victory Night in the
tournament will be held tomorrow
night at the King Pin where Bob
Miciotto holds forth as an enter
prising manager. He had a big
hand in organizing the popular BVI
show held a while back at Conven-
ton Hall in which his Bill Wood
All-Stars defeated Eddie Goldbergs
Clarendon All-Stars, and is plan
ming other specials to aid the or
ganization which is sending sports
and reereational goods to overseas
Yanks.
Safeway Stores Bowlers Generous.
Headlining the King Pin program
tomorrow will be the participation
In the tournament of the entire
giant Sideways Stores League,
which will turn over some $500 to
the BVL. Each member of the
league is pledged to contribute
dollar or more besides shooting in
the tournament.
Leading the mems division, ac-
cording to scores so far reported,
is Grover Sheppard, who fired 491
at Takoma with handicap of So.
Pacing the women is Anne Haber-
com, who tailed 434 at Rosslyn with
% free NAPLES. In spite of these
nifty counts, both leaders are ex-
pected to try again. In this con-
nection, incidentally, a number of
bowiers have inquired lately about
how many prizes a contestant may
win. He may drag down only one
award in each section of the prize
list, to wit, gross set, scratch set
and scratch game. For instance, if
Sheppard tops his 491, this will be
discarded.
Watch for Surprises.
Some powerful" scores are ex-
pected in the tournament, mainly
from low average bowlers, due to
the full handicap system. A low
average performer is far more likely
to shoot above his league pace in
tournament competition than the
star. Essentially it is buffers"
affair, although, with a flock of
scratch prizes, the tournament is
attractive, too, to the expert.
A meeting of the Prize and Rules
Committee will be held tomorrow in
conjunction with the monthly
luncheon of the Metropolitan WASH
ington Bowling Operators Associ-
alton at the Mayflower After this
it may be practicable to announce
the top awards. Of course, COM
plete prize list cannot be announced
until the finish because the prize |
fund will be composed of the ST
