Probation Heads Tenure
Raises Question Of Law

Is Mrs. Isabel Fleming proba-
ton officer in Monroe county?
Behind that question was the
law that presumably abolished
the juvenile court in Monroe
county. That law was declared
unconstitutional by the supreme
court, returning Frank o. Roberts
to office as juvenile judge.
Does it also return Mrs. Flem-
ing to office?
Before the bill was introduced
in the legislature to abolish the
court, Mrs. Fleming was reap
pointed as probation officer by
Governor Caldwell, who, shortly
thereafter, withdrew the reap
pointment,
From then until the supreme
court ruled on the law in ques-
ton, Monroe county was without
Judge or probation officer.
Whatever may be the answer
to the question, Mrs. Fleming is
serving as probation officer on
the ground that the supreme
courts decision re-established
the former status of the juvenile
court under which Mrs. Fleming,
as wen as Judge Roberts, served.
She has not been removed from
office under the re-established
status and, therefore, assumes
the supreme courts decision in
ferentially returned her to office.
Judge Roberts said today Mrs.
Fleming is serving because OF
the fact that her appointment,
before the court was supposedly
abolished, has not been termin-
ated.

specifies such benefits shall be

subsequently was released under

PARK STAKES
HIT NEW HIGH
Figures For Delaware Oaks
and Diamond State High
est in History
ENTRIES RECEIVED

Delaware Parks two futurity
stakes, recently closed, again hit
new highs for the third successive
year. The races are the Delaware
Oaks and the Diamond State
Stakes, and each will gross some
what short of $4,000, according
to an estimate made by Edward L.
Hobbs, assistant treasurer, who
has compiled the nominations. The
Diamond State, which is for three
year olds, at mile and furlong,
has received 221 nominations as
against 200 a year ago, and 155
prior to that. In the case of the
Oaks, which is at the same distance
but exclusively for fillies, there
are 224 nominations as against 179
a year ago and 125 the season be-
fore that. Of course both figures
are the highest in Delaware's his
tory for these events,-the present
closings being for the running of
1947. Racing secretary M. c. (Ty)
Shea and his aide j. G. (Gil) Haus,
were interested in the fact that for
the first time the filly race, the
Oaks, received more entries than
the Diamond State. Each man
made a strong effort to get this

with IL nominations, followed by
C. v. Whitney with IL. Tied at 10

lishment of Mrs. Isabel Dodge

We know il is a hardship TO wait for

production so far this yeor is for under

sums up ihe sifUofion thus:
"Even though our roie Of production
normally exceeds that of any other
manufacturer, we have been obIe to
build, up to July !, only 12.4 per cent
as many cars as we had built up to
that doie in 1941. Production is still
far below normal, because Of fre-
quenf shortages Of essential mofe-
rioIs and ports. Strike offer strike at The
plants of our sUppliers has seriously
impeded our progress toward full
production, and fhe cumulative
effect severely hampers every manu-
featuring and assembly plant. In
June we were able TO build only

produced in the some month in
1941."
