ORGANIZING BAND

A complete staff, thoroughly in
structed in opening-day procedures
by the Superintendent, registered
the 700 students in John Bassett
Moore School on last Thursday
with a minimum of difficulty, and
conducted a full series of classes in
addition. All phases of the edu-
cational progr funcuoned
smoothly on the first day, so that
work in all departments was in
full swing on the second day. The
complete and competent manning
of every department is in itself an
achievement in these days OF
teacher shortages; but, in addition
to maintaining all established
courses at full strength, several
new courses have been added, in
cluding a course in World History
and a course in Economic Geog-
raphy. Emphasis has been placed
on Strengthening all courses wher-
ever possible.
Organizing Band
The school band is organizing
for one of its greatest years under
the direction of Bert Paul Osbon,
new head of the music department,
who will also organize Glee Club
for both boys and girls, the first
such club for mixed voices in the
high school.
G. Us Return to School
Outstanding news of the school
opening was the registration OF
three G. rs with at least three
more expected to register soon. In
explaining that full provision Tor
G. rs to continue their training in
school has been made, George w.
Wright, Superintendent, expressed
a hearty welcome for those In at
tendance and expressed the hope
that others might take advantage
of the opportunity.
Cafeteria Opened Monday

the direction of Mrs. Homer Downs

REVENUE FROM
GASOLINE TAX
Collections in Delaware For
First 6 Months Jump More
Than 3S Per Cent
PREDICT INCREASE

Recent statements to the effect
that federal aid allocations to Del
aware for highway purposes VIII
be lost by reason of failure of the
Legislature to act on the question
apparently do not take into ac-
count number of factors, Horace
v. Daniel, secretary of Associated
Petroleum Industries, said today.
Mr.. Daniel said, collections from
the states gasoline tax are in
creasing at a rapid rate. Net col
lections for the first six months of
the current year were more than
SO per cent above those for the
same period in 1945 and slightly
above the level of 1941, the year in
which gasoline tax collections
reached their pre-war peak, and
although registration figures now
are somewhat below those of 1945
it is confidently expected that,
once new automobiles come into
the market in substantial quanti-
ties, the returns from registration
fees will show the same upward
trend as now exists in gasoline tax
collections. Should these trends as
predicted by economists on con-
servative basis, continue, it is ex-
pected that the next five years will
produce total receipts from motor
lists of nearly, if not quite Il mil
lion dollars. Deducting from this
amount costs of administration
and collection, maintenance ex-
penses, police and debt services,
which are estimated to aggregate
some IA million, leaves about Z
million available for construction,
which is more than adequate to
match federal aid" Mr.. Daniel
pointed out. ut is true that there
are certain types of needed con-
struction which will not come un-
der the federal aid program and
for this reason this total amount
may not be fully adequate. How
ever, the balance in the general
fund. now well in excess of Is mill
lion dollars, is greater than it ever
has been in recent history and II
even portion of the amounts that
have been diverted from motorists
revenues for general fund purposes
be restored to a highway fund OF
appropriated for highway purposes
there would be amply sufficient
money available at existing tax
rates and without having recourse
to a bond issue to match all of the
available federal aid MONIES" he
continued. This is particularly
true in view of the fact that the
President has asked that all public
works improvements be postponed
for the present. This is on account
of the shortage of men and mater
ials and because of well-groundet
fears and excessive construction
expenditures will add to the infia
tionary spiral. The program
therefore, that all citizens of Del
aware should support is to reestab
lish the highway fund, preferabl.
through a constitutional amend
ment, and to urge on the leg1sla
ture an appropriation of some two
or three million dollars to thu
highway fund out of the, none,
that already has been diverted
Carried into effect, this program
would restore Delaware's highwa,
finances to sound basis, woult
preclude the loss of federal ait
monies and would obviate thu
necessity of adding to our alread.
