Lytle And Green Low Bidder On
 Anchorage Airport

ANCHORAGE, (P)-A low bid of S8,679,142 has been presented for the construction of a new in- ternational airport here which will handle planes flying the Great Circle route to the Orient.
 The offer came from the C. F. Lytle company and the Green Construction company, both of DeS MoineS, Iowa, who bid joint ly.
 Plans for the airport call for two concrete runWays of 7,200 feet each running east and west and a northwest-southeast strip of $500 feet.
 Airport administrator Chris Lample said the schedule calls for completion of the field by Oc- tober of 1850. However, he said officials hope to have one runway in operation by next winter.
 Ralph Rich, chief of the con- tract procurement division of the CAA, said awarding of the con- tract for the construction is ex- peXted within 10 days.
 Other bidders on the airport job and their figures were Brown Root company of Omaha S12,356,- 898, Morrison-KnudSen company of Anchorage $8,965,O18.
 The airport is to be located four miles south of Anchorage. Speci- fications for the field also call for the construction of a three lane highway between the port and the city.
 Preliminary work of stalking the airport has already been com pleted. Clearing of land is expect ed to be finished this winter.

Give Hopes For Atomic Power

DENVER, Americas chief atom master gave a shot in the arm to hopes for a new source of power.
 David E. Lilienthal, chairman of the U. $. atomic energy commits sion, said prospecst for atomic en- ergy in the future are good.
 Tt appears clear that atomic energy is on a sound basis for an indefinite period in the future" !" he said in statement prepared for press conference.
 PotentialitieS of the atomic age have been sold short recently, Lil- ienthal claimed.
 Statements have been made and widely publicized," he said, that there is only enough urani- um ore to last relatively brief period, and so the prospects of benefit from atomic power must go glimmering. This is simply not SO."
 Lilienthal explained that wet blanket was tossed on hopes for atomic power by estimates that known reserves of uranium would last only 30 years and not more than 40.
 As explicitly as national secur- ity permits" he declared, ''the atomic energy commission wishes to state that it finds no basis in fact for these statements about ex- tremely limited uranium ore SUD- plies"

Total OF $4,000
Voters In State
CONTINUED from first page)

The increase could, of course,
have a direct affect on the outcome
of the 1948 elections in Delaware.
Nationally, the number of citi-
zens of voting age is growing in
creasingly high annually.
In 1882, the United States had
75,411,00O men and women q years
old or older. In 1886, there were
1887 900; in 1910, 1897 600; in
1914, S9,205,O00, and the estimate
for November 2, 1948, is 94,641, 900.
Women of voting age are ex-
pected to outnumber men by about
100000 nationally this fall.
The Census Bureau said it's es-
Inmates were based on data from
the 1910 federal census, statistics
on births and deaths provided by
the National Office of Vital Sta
tistics of the United State Public
Health Service, and statistics of
foreign immigration and emigra-
tiOn reported by the immigration
and Naturalization Service of the
Justice Department. Armed ser
vices personnel stationed overseas
were not counted in these census
statistics.

tai hygiene cases. Children were
sent to Beach House by private
physicians, State Department of
Health, State Department of We'll
fare, Board of Education, Mental
Hygiene Clinic, Children's Bureau,
Delaware Hospital, Wilmington
General Hospital, Memorial Hos
pital, Children's Home, Family So
ciety, Juvenile Court, Neighbor-
hood House, and Alfred l. dupont
Institute.
The Children's Beach House was
founded in 1886 by Miss Lydia C.
DUPONT to give cOnvalescent care
to the crippled and handicapped
children of Delaware. During the
II years of its existence, children
have been admitted from everv
section of the state. In 1947 chill
dren came from Wilmington, Do
yer, New Castle, Milford, Laurel.
Seaford, MillsbOrO, Milton, Ocean
View, Lewes and Georgetown.
The education of the GONZALES
cent child is not neglected at
Beach House, as classes and indi-
vidual instruction are conducted
by a teacher appointed by the
State Board of Education. Occu-

gram for these children. During
the summer months the physical
therapist takes full advantage of
the sunshine and salt waters of the
bay in her work with the children.
Many of these children learn to
swim while at Beach House. All
beach and water activities are
closely supervised, and during the
summer months recreation lead
ers having Red Cross Life-Saving
Certificates are employed.
The principle governing the pro-
gram at Beach House is that health
is a state of complete physical,
mental and social well-being, and
not merely the absence of disease
or infrmity. The enjoyment of
the highest attainable standards of
health is one of the fundamental
rights of every child.

The Division has appropriated
$4,000 to get the Centers started
and underwFite their operation.
The Delaware Division is spend
ing $4,000 in the current fiscal
year for financial aid to needy can
Ger patients. This money goes
principally to pay part Of the cost
of the patients hospital and medi-
cine bills.
Educational work Of the society
will cost about S3,60O in the cur
tent fiscal year, which ends August
81, Mr.. Gray said. This includes
distribution Of huge quantities OF
literature on cancer, and the use
OF radio transcriptions and films.
The SOciety's educational pro-
gram is saving lives in Delaware
by teaching the public how to recO-
gnize the seven danger signals, and
what to do if cancer is suspected,
Mr.. Gray explained. The Little Red
Door, Cancer Information Center,
is maintained at 823 Market Street,
Wilmington. Similar Centers in
other parts Of the State are cur
rently under consideration.
The SOeiety's budget for service
for the fiscal year comes to $27, 200,
while the Education budget is 49,
600 and the administration budget
Is $4,120, Mr.. Gray explained.
These items, with a contingency
reserve Of $2,77O, make up the total
budget for the fiscal year, of about
SSS,200 This was the balance the
Society had at the beginning of the
FISCAL year.
These funds are being spent
daily for the Cancer Control Work
the people of Delaware want done.
Now is the time to replenish those
funds so that this vital work can
not only continue but be in
creased" ne said.
