Fifth Grade Takes
Philadelphia Trip

The 1949 edition of the Milford
fifth grade travelled to Philadel-
phia last Friday, December 2. The
class started assembling at 6:4O
a. m. and departed promptly at TOO
a. m. amid the enthusiastic cheers
of the children and sighs Of relief
from the parents.
The itinerary had been planned
for some time and the children
We're prepared for much of what
they saw. The busses reached In
dependence Hall about 10000 a. m,
where the children unlOaded and
spent about an hour on guided
tour of that historical spot. From
there they went to Betsy Ross's
house and visited Old Christ
Church. They left there about
( 11:45 and by 1900 they were in
| the Franklin Institute where they
ate in a rather crowded lunch
room. During the month of Decem-
Der many schools make a special
4 effort to visit the institute and see
the Christmas program in the
Planetarium. This lecture and dem
onstration is given year after year
and is presented in a most interest
/ ing and unusual manner with mu-
sic, pageantry, and effects that can
only be executed by the Plantear-
ium machine. The show must be
seen to be appreciated. Needless to
say, the class was enthralled by
the demonstration.
At 200 p. m. they walked over
to the Natural History Museum and
spent a most profitable hour look
ing at stuffed animal, bird and egg
; collections. From here they went
back to the Franklin Institute and
spent the rest of the afternoon il
the Museum.
At 500 p. m. they visited th'
! Cathedral of st. Peter and st. Pau
, for a little while and then got OF
: their respective buses and started
!, home.
The return trip was without Incl
e dent except for dinner at the ROya
4 Oaks restaurant and the busses az
rived in front of the school at 9:2
:, p. m.
The children were accompanie
by their teachers, Mrs. Blades, Mis-
Hawley, Mrs. French, representa-
Mrs. Bressler, who was ill, Mis-
Pauline Webb, r. ~, and Mr. NiC
hols, Elementary Principal.
: The teachers are to be cOngra
, tulated for a we'll planned an
we'll executed trip.
The P. T. A. meeting for Decem
ber will be held the last week {
this month in the High School Al
ditorium At that time the pupi
of the Elementary School will pr'

Banquet. Is HighIight
OF Grange Meet
(conunusa irom nrBE Es1

Mr.. Worrilow, director of the Ag-
rieultural Experiment Station and
Agricultural Extension Service of
the University, cited the states
farm income ia 1948 as S1OS, ,OOO, 900
as compared with $20,200,OOO in
1880. Furthermore, he added, Della
ware now ranks second in cash
farm income per farm east of the
Mississippi, exceeded only by New
Jersey.
In his talk Agriculture and Your
University Move Ahead" Mr.. Wor-
rilow stressed the expansion Of the
university's agricultural services in
accordance with the growing de-
mands of the states farmers. AS .
land grant college, the University
of Delaware has become a key re-
search and educational center for
this agricultural industry, he said,
outlining the various research prof.
ects that have been steadily de-
Veloped through the years.
Ranks Second In Nation
Among other interesting statis-
tical facts given by the speaker is
that Delaware is secOnd-ranking
state in the country in average farm
cash income per county, exceeded
only by California. Sussex County
itself not only is third highest in
farm cash income but also produ-
ces five times as many chickens as
any other county in the United
States or similar territory in the
world. Delaware's cash farm in
come per county is $35, 900 an
/ nually.
The future outlook for Delaware
farmers is favorable. according to
Mr.. Worrilow who pointed to re-
ports for the first seven months OF
1949 during which this state showed
an income increase of about S2,.
100000 over the similar period last
year, while the rest of the country
in general recorded dwindling re-
turns.
More Interest Urged
Grange members were urged t
take a more active part in govern
ment by State Master Paul Mitchell
in his annual report to the cOnven
; ton.
: The state master asserted:
) 'Many of our American peopl
= have been taking an Indifferent at

Communist Trial .
BY the Asseeiaisd Press

NEW YORK, Mar: 1o.-A Negro
housewife may be foreman of the
jury in the conspiracy trial Of II
top Communist leaders.
Her name fell FIRST from the
jury lottery wheel yesterday as
the trial popped up after delay
of almost two months caused by
an unsuccessful defense attack on
the Federal jury-picking system
here.
The defense had contended the
Jury system excludes poor people,
women, manual 1aborers, Negroes.
Jews and members of other mi
nority groups and favors the rich.
A tentative jury--including the
Negro woman-was questioned by
Federal Judge Harold r. Medina
about views toward communism.
If her name remains on the
fury list after defense and prose-
cution challenges, Mrs. Thelma
Dial of Harlem will be foreman.
The tentative jury also includes
four other housewives, two make
statesmen, an accountant. two en-
gineers. lone unemployed), and
retired stock broker.
Judge Medina read to the pros
pective jurors the indictment
which charges that the defend
ants, as members of the National
Committee of the Communist
Party. conspired to advocate fore
ible overthrow of the Government.

sContinJeC from Page One) from Cordova stating air searchers reported that six memoers of a leaking tug rode it ashore safely on the rocks about 50 miles south east of Cordova early today.
 The Coast Guard had picked up a report from the tug Afognak 228 am Pacific Standard Time) that the crew was, abandoning it.
 Searchers reported walkie- talkie radio was dropped to the grounded vessel and the crew mem bers reported all were safe aboard. One crewman was reported slightly injured.
 DETAILS LACKING
 An earlier air glimpse of the grounded vessel had disclosed only two of the crew members.
 Details of how the crew rode the leaking vessel through the rough seas after radioing that they were forced to abandon it were lacking
 The ocean-going tug was wrecked on Palm Point The scene indicated the skipper had mistaken his posi- I ticn in his original report of his | trouble
 The fish tender Mary M was re- ported enroute to Palm Point te pick up the tug crew members [ although there still was possibility 1 they might be picked up by plane If the boat picks them up, they proI- ably will reach Cordeva around midnight.
 BUSH PILOT IN SEARCH
 The stricken craft was located by Merle K. (Smitty) Smith, veteran Cordova bush pilot and Deputy US Marshal M E. Edmonds. They hac started their aerial search at am. after a message had been re- ceived from the Navy headquarters at Kodiak.
 Smith expressed the belief the Master of the tug had mistaken his !, position when he reported the boat in distress off Cape St. Elias Palm Point is about 35 miles away from the cape. The men reported from the grounded boat that they didn't know where they were. The tug appeared likely to be a total loss.
 Tide conditions probably will allow the men to walk ashore. Smith indicated he thought he could land his plane on the beach and rescue the six men. Curtis Bach is the son of MT and Mrs. George Edward Bach of Douglas. He attended Western Washington College of Education at Bellingham last term.
