national and international in scope,

SCHOLARSHIP
TO OSMYRNAGIRL
Miss Jean E. Russell Awarded
Scholarship In Physi-
cal Therapy
NEED MANY THERAPISTS

Miss Jean Ellen Russell, 4 West
Mt. Vernon Street, Smyrna, has
been awarded scholarship in ply
sical therapy under the nationwide
professional training program of
the National Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis, George N. Barrie
Jr, Delaware representative for
the Foundation has announced
Miss Russell is one of two Della
ware residents to receive a schol-
arship since the National Founda-
ton expanded its physical therapy
program in 1945 to help combat
a critical shortage of qualified per-
sonnel in the physical therapy field.
While 1885 scholarships have been
awarded to date through the Ma
tional Foundation alone, it is esti-
mated that $4,000 physical thera-
pists are needed to meet the ever
increasing demand for their highly
skilled professional services. Since
the first physical therapy appropri-
alton of $55, 900 was made in 1912
the organization has aIlocated
more than $1,000, 900 in March of
Dimes funds to support the pro-
gram. Miss Russell win study at
Medical College of Virginia, one of
the many schools and institutions
throughout the country approved
for this type of training by the
American Medical Associations
Council on Medical Education and
Hospitals. In announcing her
award, Mr. Barrie explained that
physical therapists trained under
the National Foundation program
are not obligated to confine their
work to treatment of infantile par
alysis exclusively. He pointed out
that best protection against the
disease, since no one can anticipate
where it will strike, is to have
trained physical therapy techni-
clans readily available at all hos
pitals and agencies where polio
patients may be treated.

The tenth annual banquet and
ladies night, held each year during
the late summer by the Delaware
Motor Truck Association, will be
presented this year on Saturday,
September II, at the Commander
Hotel, Ocean City, Md, This yearly
affair has grown tremendously as
the trucking industry in this area
has expanded until now it is dfrnni-
cult to find suitable Accommodations
for all the Trucking Associations
members and friends who. together
with their ladies look forward to
this once-a-year assembly of high
way transportation people. High
on the list for discussion at This
years get-together will be the pos
sible results of Delaware's recently
passed Public Utilities, Commission
Law which will regulate the opera
tion of trucks using the roads and
of Delaware. This law
goes into effect September 1, and
the Motor Truck Association is
heartily in favor of this legislation.
They anticipate that the Commits
sion will adopt and enforce more
rigid safety rules in the operation
of commercial motor vehicles and
also foresee that the commission
will insist that truckers have amp
lie insurance coverage before issu-
ing a PUG permit. Inasmuch as all
trucking firms now
spend about % percent of their
total income on safety programs
and insurance, the Motor Truck
officials feel that the
PUG rules will lift the entire in
dustry up to this level. However,
the officials also agree that if

2 FIRE ALARMS
EARLY SUNDAY
Smyrna and Clay ton Fire
Companies Called To Fire
At Smyrna Landing
ONE ON LEIPSIC ROAD

Between midnight and dawn on
Sunday, the quiet of Smyrna was
shattered by two fire alarms, the
first at 3:15 am. and the second
at $3.50 am. followed by the siren
in Clayton. The volunteers re-
sponded first to a fire in an imple-
ment shed at the home of Alex
Pleasanton on the Leipsic Road,
where damage was complete, and a
car, among other things, was des-
troyed. The Smyrna, Cheswoldr
and Leipsic fire companies were
called. On the way to that fire
the local firemen saw the blaze
which resulted in the next alarm,
a barn belonging to Stanley Smith
at Smyrna Landing, which was
destroyed. 1t was estimated at
value of $4,000, partially covered
by insurance. Livestock was saved
including a horse, sow and eight
young pigs, but the chickens were
lost. Firemen saved nearby build
ings. The Smyrna tiremen were
assisted at this fire by the volun-
teers of the clayton Fire Company.
Eighteen members of the Citizens
Hose Co. responded to the first call
and 25 to the second. The Smyrna
volunteers with their band will
take part in the parade at the state
convention to be held next Thurs
day, and the delegates from the
Citizens Hose Co. who will attend
the meeting on Wednesday and
Thursday are Fire Chief Horace
David and James Truax; alter
mates, Ralph G. FAIRIES, Jr. and

Swinging Immediately into the

into balanced line, Information
assault, Bill Murray and his sixty
one University of Delaware foot
ball candidates romped through
their second day of fall practice
this morning and afternoon in a
fashion that indicated strict adher-

Murray and his staff are mixing
their toughening up process with
practical grid lessons, and it ap-
pears that the Blue Hens will be
ready for heavy contact work at
the end of this week.
At the opening session on Mon
day, Murray admitted that more
emphasis would be placed this year
on speed and deception in contrast
to the old double-wing infantry
tactics that have been the order
of the day in the past. With the
wingbacks still out wide, Murray

ERRORS IN APPLICATIONS
Errors and Omissions In Filing
For VA Insurance Dividends

For VA Insurance Dividends
Some serious errors and omis-
sions In filling out application
forms for the S2.s billion National
Service Life Insurance dividend
have been noted among millions of
applications submitted by veterans
for their special payments, VA re-
ported recently. Most common err
ror, VA said, is failure to include
service serial numbers, required
under item of the application
form. Here the form provides three
spaces labeled, respectively, En-
listed, "Oficer", and "Other." 4"
These labels refer to the class of
serial number assigned the veteran
when he was serving as an enlisted
man, as an officer, or in some other
status. Many veterans, however,
are putting their date of enlist
ment in the first box, and their
grade or rank in one of the other
two. VA said such information is
not required for dividend purposes,
but that the serial number is obso-
1utely essential. Some veterans
even are failing to sign their ap-
plications. Unsigned applications
are not acceptable, VA said.

by Federal Laws and
Regulations
SOME RULES LISTED

AS thousands of school children
in the State prepare to march back
to their classrooms in the next few
days, employers who plan to hire
minors on part-time basis while
the schools are in session were
cautioned recently to abide by
specific Federal laws and regula-
tions applying to the employment
of minors in plants producing
goods for interstate commerce.
This warning came from William
Hargadine, Jr., Acting Regional
Director of the u. S. Department
of Labor's Wage and Hour and
Public Contracts Divisions with
Offices in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Hargadine first called at
tention to Secretary of Labor
Maurice J. Tobin's direct appeal to
teen-agers to go back to school this
Fall. Then he stressed the fact that
under the Federal Wage and Hour
Law, the minimum age for general
employment is 16 years, while IA
and 15-year-old youngsters may be
employed only outside school hours
and then only subject to stringent
regulations to protect their health,
safety and educational opportunity.
For example, he pointed out that
