These include Premier JOzef

Auto Racing Season
Opens In East April 3

They're formulating plans for
the opening of the Eastern big car
auto race season at the Reading
Fairgrounds, Sunday, April 8.
With the season opener less than
three weeks away, Director Sam
Nunis is buisly engaged in signing
drivers and attending to the multi
tudinous details which crop up at
the start of each season.
The race at Reading, sprint af-
fair. will be restricted to AAA cars
and drivers. Competition will be
confined to regulation type race
cars, and the events will offer driv-
ers an opportunity to garner points
in the 1949 Eastern dirt track
championship.
The program, as announced by
contest board officials of the Am
erican Automobile Association, will
consist of time trials, four 10-lap
qualifying heats, a match race, and
a 25-lap sweepstakes final. Invert-
ed starts, with the fastest car
starting last, will be employed in
the four heat races.
/ According to Nunis. many of the
country's top drivers will be on
hand for the inaugural. First en-
trant is Tommy Hinnershitz, of
nearby Alsace township, who SET
two new track records in the inau-
gural race at Reading one year ago.
Hinnershitz, who drive a high
powered Offenhauser car, hung up
new half-mile qualifying mark OF
2435 seconds, and established a
new 0-lap record of minutes, o.
rs seconds. Both marks still stand
in the official record books of the
American Automobile Association
contest board.
Meanwhile, Nunis predicted thi'
week that the size of the starting
field at Reading will exceed 2
drivers and cars.

pr0vements which could we'll be
postponed. The balance that they
agreed could be cut temporarily
amounts to $5.719,5OO. Thirty per
cent Of that amount is $1,715,85O.
The proposed capital improve
ments which council members said
could be postponed in part are
$1.0S6,500 for the Delaware Colony;
$1.522.00 for the Delaware State
College; $235,000 for the Ferris
School; $4,000 for Brandywine
Sanatorium; $2,60S,O00 for the Del
aware State Hospital; and $220,OOO'
for the Governor Bacon Health
Center.
The council members agreed to
present to their commission mem-
bers or trustees specific sugges-
tions for postponing improvements.
The reaction of these board mem
bers will be presented to COM
nnittee consisting of DR.. G. ]. Prick
EFT, president of the council, and
six other members. This commit
tee plans to report to Governor
Elbert N. Carvel and the two houses
of the legislature by next Nom
day.
Plans for Cooperation
The council members also agreed
that in the future they will plan
capital improvements in consul
tation with each other instead of
proceeding individually as the
agencies have done in the past.
These actions followed sugges-
ton by DR.. NJ. A. Tarumianz at the
last meeting of the full council The
meeting was attended only by rep
resentatives of those agencies
which are seeking appropriations
for capital improvements.
DR.. Tarumianz had suggested
that the agencies divide their build
ing programs into two parts-tht
first part TO consist of improve
ments the agencies believe shouls
be seriously considered by the Gen
eral Assembly at the present ses
sion. The other part is of cOurs,
the portion that the agencies rec
ognize can be postponed until tn,
next session in spite of the need.
In discussing the needs of tn
public school system, the council
asked DR.. George r. Miller, stat
superintendent of public instruc
ton, to list what part of the $l1,
O00 900 school construction program
might be postponed. The $1,000,
600 figure is the states share il
the cost of proposed program, i
which local school districts vii
also share.
