Safety Council Notes

Fifty years ago, as today, one OF
the highest ambitions of everv bow
was to own bicycle, but then very
Few boys attained that ambition
Bicycles were scarce enough and
expensive enough to be curiOsities
Practically the only danger in rid
ing in those early days was a poss-
IDLE tumble over the handle bars
Of the fiVe-fOOt front drive-wheel.
If one did tumble, there was moth
ing to run over him, except perhaps
another bicycle, which was at the
worst not very serious.
What a different picture today!
The bicycle in it's safety" model
form is a much safer machine to
ride than it was in the early DAYS.
but think Of the rivals it now has
for the use of the road.
Both the bicycle and the automo-
bile are such useful means of travel
that neither should be dispensed
with. The big task is to learn to
use them both without sacrificing
life and limb.
To help in this task, the Della
ware Safety Council offers the fol-
lowing rules:
l. Obey all traffic signs and
rules.
2. Always signal before making
turns.
3. Walk across heavy traffic.
4. Ride single file-don't weave
about.
5. Watch carefully at the rail-
road crossings.
6. Keep out of car tracks and
ruts.
Z. Never "stunt" or race in traf-
fc.
8. Avoid all "hitching" - it's
dangerous.
8. Never carry passengers or
drag children.
10. Carry parcels in racks or
carriers.
II. Use extra caution on all side
walks.
u. Get off the roadway to make
repairs.
10. Wear light-cOlored clothing
at night.

Monday night was another big
night for Crystal FOunt Lodge. AZ
ter the business meeting the initi-
atOry degree was conferred on
twenty candidates. Fourteen from
Charity Lodge No. % of Laurel;
three from Hebron Lodge No. IA, of
Seaford, and three of our own
lodge. Then after the degree work
was over our dart ball team en-
tertained Union Lodge of George
town in three games Of dart ball.

Crystal FOunt iOurneyed to Sea-
ford last Friday night and came
home with the bacon. We won the
first game 7-3, lost the second
Al, but came back in the third
game and won it by the score
Of AZ. II was a thriller. The home
run hOnOrs went to George Rod
ney, Earle WOrthingtOn and Ivan
Telling, they getting two homers
a piece. The team was a little late
in leaving Milford due to some ac-
cidental cause. Junior Webb fell
and tore his trousers and Manager
Jester had to send him back to
the club house for another pair.
Better luck next time, Junior. The
writer heard quote: That Lewis
Wright. Spencer Willis and Geo.
Strahle played so hard they had
10 have steak dinners after the
game end of quote. Mr.. Manag-
er, il may be all right for them
to eat such food after the game.
but my advice is see that they don't
eat steaks before the game. That's
too heavy food for their throwing
arms.

Last Monday evening George
town dart ball team paid us a visit
and went home victorious. We did
win the first game by the score of /
7-6. We went into the six inning
trailing by one run. Lew Wright, .
the first man up. got a double: then .
Roy Wilkins came up and hit
home run. putting us out in front I
by one run. Georgetown could not !
overcome the one run lead, so the
came ended &c in favor of Mil .
ford. But i'm the second and third

by the scores of 81 and 1873. Next
Monday night we travel to George

EneeI Short Now

Engel Short Now
Ever since Sigmund Engel, 73, of
Chicago, was arrested June 25 on
charges of swindling widows whose
love he courted, jailers wondered
about his apparently bottomless source
of ready cash.
Cook County, ILL.,, jailers found $35
in Engel'S possession last week. Since
Jail rules prohibit prisoners keeping
more than So the rest was placed to
his credit. Two days later jailers
found $134.70 in his possession.
Authorities decided on an all-out
probe to discover, if possible, Engels
source of supply. The prisoner was
stripped and all his clothes were
closely examined
Investigators found the seams of
Engeps underwear a bit bulky. They
carefully ripped them open. Out came
"A 500 bills, tightly rolled into a
long thin flexible pencil. The prison
physician had to prescribe a sedative
for Engel and order him removed to
the Jail hospital
At the time of his arrest, Engel was
quoted by police as saying women
have given him millions of dollars
over 50-year period, but he stoutly
insisted that he had done nothing
illegal.

nothing. They learned he had con-

Education
New Teaching Aid

New Teaching Ala
At Pennsylvania State College is a
new electronic teaching aid, boon to
the overworked teacher with stack
of examination papers to correct. IL
was perfected after two years by the
Special Devices Center, Office OF
Naval Research.
A class of 40 faces large movie
screen. On each students desk is
small signaling device with FIVE keys.
Students never speak. A screen voice
states the problems and asks the
questions portrayed on the screen.
Students answer by pressing one Of
the keys.
At the end of the class, a student
may step up and look at his grade on
the examination. Each individual
answer was electronically recorded,
the score was added and the average
computed.
For the teacher, it is like marking
40 examination papers of so to 100
questions in one second.
The robot also is said to eliminate
another teacher worry: cheating. The
small black answer box on each desk
has an opening large enough to insert
one hand, palm down, fingers slightly
spread. Under each finger is key.

unite those nations on military

B-36: Are U. S. Strategic Eeesin One Basket:

THE Congressional investiga-
J. ton of the B-36, Americas
biggest bomber, is at midpoint.
At issue is this country's basic Sc
curity and aerial strategy in the
next war, if there should be one.
On one side of the controversy is
the Air Corps, committed to strategic
bombing by long range, land-based
planes. On the other is the Navy, de-
manding super aircraft carriers de-
signed to service strategic bombers
too.
Another facet of the dispute, quite
apart from service rivalry, is how the
B-36 came to be classed as this coun-
try's sole reliance in the strategic
bombing field. There have been
charges of irregularity in procure
ment of B-36 contracts. There were
rumors that Secretary of Defense
Louis Johnson and Air Secretary
Stuart Symington were involved with
Consolidated Vultee, manufacturers
of the giant B-36.
Planned Before Pearl HarbOr
The first order for one experimental
B-36 was given to Consolidated Vul-
tee Corp. in 1941, shortly before Pearl
Harbor.
In 1943, the order was increased to
100, but later that same year en-
phasis was shifted to the B-29 after
the North African invasion provided
bases from which the smaller B-29s
could operate. The B-29 Superfortress
went on to become the backbone of
American air attacks on Japan, cul-
minated by the atomic strikes on
Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
The first B-36 was not flown until
after the war. In 1946 and 1947 dis
pute ragged within Air Force councils
over failure Of the giant craft to per-
form up to Its rated capacities.
TOp-Level Decision
In 1948, board of senior Air Force
officers made top-level decision to
keep on with the B-36 because its
bugs were being ironed out and there
was hope of the big bomber's event.
ually carrying out its designers
claims.
The B-36 is twice as large as the
B-29. It has a wingspan of 230 feet
and weighs 278,OOO pounds. It was
designed to fly $50 mph at 10000 feet,
carry 10000 pounds of bombs to tar
gets 5000 miles away and return.
In January of this year, the Air
Force cancelled millions of dollars in
contracts for other types of planes
to order more B-36s.
Stopped Work on Carriers
In April; the first act of Johnson
newly appointed Secretary Of De-

week President Truman set about i'm
plementing the new law.
Under it, Louis A. Johnson, Sec
retary of Defense, is given more
power over the three service branches
by Subordinating authority of the
Secretaries of Army, Navy and Air
Force, who no longer are members
of the National Security Council.
The new law creates a chairman
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and de-
fines the departments of Army, Navy
and Air Force as military" depart
ments within an executive" depart
ment-the Department of Defense.
Bradley Heads Joint Chiefs
The President named Gen. Omar N
Bradley as the new chairman of the
Milford chronicle., 1949-08-26
ARMED FORCES: Three in One

Joint Chiefs and the Senate speedily
confirmed the appointment. Gen.
Joseph L. lightning joel Collins was
to fill Bradley's old post as
Army chief of staff.
Much depends upon the ability of
Bradley to get top brass in all three
services to forget their rivalrieS and
work together. Under the law, Brad
ley does not have vote. His power
derives principally from his access
to the White House (authorized by
law in case of deadlocks) and from
his own personal prestige.
Gen. Bradley seems an excellent
choice for such a crucial post. He was
field leader of the American forces in
the invasion of France and strategiSts
have ranked him as master tacti-
clan.
Current Strength
The nations armed forces currently
have a strength of 100000. The Army
is the largest with $4,000 officers and
enlisted men. OF these, about 100000
are based outside the continental
United States, principally in Germany
and Japan.
The Navy and Marines have $4,000
while the Air Force is listed at 42O,'
600 men.
The Army, as presently constituted
has about ten and one-half active di
visions. The Air Force has SO skele
tonized air groups, which shortly viii
be reduced to 48. The Navy has abou
800 ships in active service.

Must elderly people be put on the

It's an increasingly important prob
lem as science and health push Amer

eventually to suggest answers to the

decided a full inqurysof the B-36 was
in order. Public hearings opened Au-
gust 9 in Washington. e
Air Force spokesmen stoutly de-
Tended the B-36 and its performance.
Symington on the stand took per-
sonal responsibility for the entire
B-36 program and denied that poll
tics or any consideration "other than
national, security" had any bearing
on its development. d
These were some of the endorse
ments by Air Force leaders.
1t. Gen. Curtis E. LeMay: "The
B-36 can fly, any mission Lean con-
ceive for it during. its lifetime. (If
war came) would ride the first one
myself"

weaknesses had been corrected.
