REHABILITATION CLINIC TO
BE HELD IN SMYRNA OCTOBER 9

Public and private organizations
will cooperate throughout the
State and nation in the second an
nual observance of National En-
ploy the Handicapped Week." Oc-
tober through IL, and it has been
announced by Delaware's commit
tee that Employment clinics will
be held in various communities in
the State during this week and it
is hoped that management, labor
and the public generally, will real
ize the importance to the Nation
of maintaining employment for
handicapped workers. Among the
millions of handicapped persons in
the United States, are thousands of
Veterans of two World Wars, mil
lions of victims of Industrial and
other types of accidents, and those
who are handicapped as a result of
sickness, disease, or birth. The
question of solving employment
problems for handicapped workers
is not one that can be solved in a
day, a week, or year by man
agement, by labor, by the public,
or by the government. 1t is a
continuing problem which must be
met and dealt with on a day-to-
day basis by the forces and re-
sources of the community, State,
and Nation.

NIGHT RACING
AT HARRINGTON
Kent-Sussex Racing Asso. to
Conduct Is Nights of Har-
ness Racing
PARI-MUTUEL BETTING

The Kent and Sussex Racing As
sociation has been granted a per-
NIT by ]. Writ Willis, harness rae
ing commissioner for the State of
Delaware, to conduct 15 nights of
harness racing with pari-mutuel
betting at the Harrington fair
grounds track. Five additional
nights of racing are optional,
weather permitting. The meeting
will mark the first time in the his
tory of the state that harness rae
ing will be operated with pari-mu-
tuel betting, and will have the add
ed feature of being conducted on
one of the finest lighted tracks for
night racing in the east. Over $50
horses will be stabbed there, giving
George c. Enslen, racing secretary
and Handicapped, an opportunity to
provide Del-Mar-Va peninsula
harness racing fans with some of
the finest races they have ever
witnessed. Because most of the
fairs and other harness race meet
ings have closed, more horses will
be available than for any other
single meeting, whether night or
day racing. Extensive improve
ments have been made at the fair
grounds for the meeting. All roads
on the grounds have been given a
macadam surface, proper drainage
has been provided and facilities for
horsemen have been improved and
enlarged. A special Pennsylvania
train will run from the Broad
Street station, Philadelphia, for
the race meeting. The train will
stop at Chester and Wilmington,
arriving at Harrington at 7:30
pm. Mr.. Enslen comes to Har-
rington direct from the Freehold,
N. j. Raceway, where the Freehold
Racing Association has just con-
cluded the most successful season
in the history of the track. Many
of the horses that trotted at Free
hold will be at the fair grounds for
the Kent and Sussex meeting, in
addition to trotters and PAGERS now
at Westbury, Long Island and
those competing for rich stakes
events at various fairs in Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey and New York.

P. E. PROGRAM
is EXPANDED
Additional Emphasis Put on
Physical Education at
School Here
PHYSICAL EXERCISE

The adding of the Physical Edu-
cation program to the school cur
riculum a few years ago and the
additional emphasis and expansion
of the program today is a modern
and normal trend in present day
education, commented Mr.. George
w. Wright, Superintendent of
Schools, in an interview. Educa-
ton involves the whole child, con-
tinued Mr.. Wright, and is not lin
tied to the development of the
child's mentality alone. The Phys
ical Education program should not
be looked upon as an additional
amount of exercise that a child
would ordinarily get at home, but
on the other hand a carefully plan
ned and executed activity to de-
velop the child physically. The
modern Physical Education pro-
gram, as taught in the Smyrna
School, consists of healthful exer-
cises, reaching muscles normally
little used in our everyday routine,
coupled with capably supervised
games, which brings from the in
dividual natural competitive in
stinct and at the same time teach
es fair play and good sportsman
ship.

and the threading of a needle while
wearing boxing gloves. The prizes,
which were donated by various
merchants, included flashlights,
perfume, dishes, movie tickets, and
appointment to beauty salons for
the older participants. All the
children taking part, whether prize
winners or not, were given candy.

MAYOR GUSTS RACE HATE VETS

Chicago - Mayor Edward Kelley of Chicago put an inn mediate end to what had all the earmarks of being a very nasty racial issue when he had six white squatters ejected from a housing project and arraigned in Court.
 The veterans were part of a group who. had deliberately moved into some of the units of a newly opened housing pro- ject for veterans. The section that they took over, had been ear-marked for certain eligible Negro veterans and their fami- lies. However, spurred on by the prejudiced attitudes of some of the whites in the neigh borhood, these veterans moved in so as to make it impossible for Negro tenants to occupy.
 Mayor Kelly emphasized the fact that occupancy in any of the housing projects under the city was determined only on the basis of need and that this practice would be followed to the letter. Additionally he promised that police protection would be given to any veteran selected to occupy the units.
