Harlow Protege Gets
Call Over Former
Colonial Stars
By Lewis F. Atchison

j. Neil Stanley, former head foot
ball coach at Brown University, has
signed a three-year contract in a
similar capacity at George Washing
ton, Max harrington, director Of
mems activities, announced this
afternoon.
Stanley. 81, succeeds Johnny
Baker, who resigned suddenly last
month. A Navy lieutenant cur
rently on duyt at San Diego, he is
scheduled to be released from active
service Monday and will report at
George Washington to assume his
new duties some time between
March Is and 20.
harrington said he had not in
tended to announce the schools new
coach until hsi signed contract was
received, but following publication
OF a story earlier today in The Star
telephoned San Diego and was in
formed that the signed document
was in the mail.
Stahley's appointment ends ru-
mors concerning Bakers successor.
rumors that first had Tuffy Leemans
taking over the reins. Leemans was
sounded out, harrington said, but
could not spare the time from his
business. Ray Hanken, an assistant
on the Colonial grid staff under
Bill Reinhart before going into the
Navy, will be retained in some ca
pacity, Harrington said, although
Stanley would be given a free hand
in picking his aides.
In choosing Stanley, George
Washington follows Maryland's lead
OF reaching into the Navy for a
coach. The Old Liners picked Paul
Bryant, but lost him to Kentucky
after one season. 1t would not be
surprising to see a number of bows
who played under Stanley at San
Diego follow him to G.. w.
Stanley, a back at Penn State in
1923 and 1929, assisted Dick Harlow
at Western Maryland from 1890 to
1888, then served one year as head
coach at Delaware University. The
following year he followed Harlow
to Harvard, remaining six years as
the old masters assistant with the
appelation of field coach"
The change in football fortunes
that sent Earl Blaik from Dart
mouth to West Point and Tuss
from Brown to Dart
mouth, paved the way for Stahley's
first big time appointment at Brown.
He remained three years and al
though he turned out no Rose Bowl
teams his tenure was regarded as
successful. He served in
the Navy's armed guard for mer-
chant ships before transferring to
The physical training branch and at
San Diego. without the benefit of
players, his teams won
nine, lost four and tied one game
over two-year period.

SMYRNA AND VICINITY

BY the recent action of the Levy
Court the two constables from
Duck Creek Hundred are John F.
Goldsborough, re-appointed, and B.
". Weldon. Kenton Hundred was
given two constables, Joseph G.
Smith, who will reside at Clayton,
and S. S. Hopkins who will reside
at Kenton. Heretofore Kenton
Hundred has had only one con-
stable, Mr.. Boggs of Clayton.
Frank Bailey has sold plot, 53
feet front, adjoining the William
A. Winford stable, back of the
Presbyterian Manse lot, to George
w. Taylor who will in the near fu-
ture move his machine shop there.
The lot adjoining has been sold to
Joseph Wright and Son for the
purpose of erecting carpenter
shop. This leaves a lot 40 feet be-
tween the Manse and Mr.. Wright
which is yet unsold.
The Commissioners recently
elected to the Kenton Town Coun-
Gil are: Thomas Attix, president;
j. M. Arthurs, secretary; John
Taylor, Samuel Taylor, and Thom-
as E. Bailey. The only change
from last year is the election of
Thomas E. Bailey over Eben Walk
,er. Kenton is desirous of having
paved sidewalks and the new coun-
Gil is expected to provide same.
The finances of the town are in
good shape and the people look
forward to several needed improve
ments.

Grow lived at Sunnyside a lot of

Rural telephone service is more
highly developed in this country than
in any other country in the world.
But we aren't in the business of rest
ing on laurels won, and one of the
main objectives of our $5,5O0,OO0
expansion program is to give more
and more farm families finer and
finer rural telephone service.
A big program for extending service
to farm families was interrupted by
the war. BUT NOW A BIGGER
PROGRAM is UNDER WAY.
Right now some 81 percent of the
farms in our territory have tele-
phone service. Since 1885, the num-
ber of rural telephones has increased
nearly 120 percent.
New facilities, new methods, and
new ideas have been developed to
give them and the world a new con-
cept of just how fine rural service
can be.
A new, high-strength steel wire, for
example, will enable us to allow
longer distances between poles, thus
extending lines into isolated areas
not previously covered.

wholly inadequate to permit the fis-
cal affairs of the territory to be
placed on a sound basis.
Lacking a vote in Congress and
an equa, standing with the States,
Alaska now suffers many discrimi-
nations which can be ended only by
Statehood.
"The vote in Congress would alone
be worth the additional cost Of
Statehood"
The additional expense of State
hood, the association says, would be
81 ,000. 900 to $4,000, 900. Among the
increased costs anticipated by the
opponents, the association says, are:

The principal opposition, 1t con-
tends, comes from those who fear
State government would be too
costly.
But Statehood would be adyan-
tageous, the association says, be-
cause among other things:
Alaska is SO far removed from
Washington and has SO many unique
requirements that 1t is fantastic to
expect under the territorial form
that good local government will stem
from the national capital.
Rule Is Now Inadequate.
"The congressional grant, of legis-
lative powers to Alaska has been
