STUDENT HERE
Anne Green of Scotland Visit
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Dukes, Taylor's Bridge
TOURS LOCAL SCHOOL

AS a contrast to helping in the
fields during her visit in Sussex
County, Miss Anne Green, the
Scottish girl, who is the guest of
the Delaware All Clubs, spent
some time sewing while visiting at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Dukes, Anne told of her trip to the
made uniform which she will
wear when she attends the Nation
al All Camp at Washington, D. C.
from June 15 to June %. In an
interview at the farm home of the
Dues, Anne told of her trip to the
United States with group of IL
exchange students from the United
Kingdom. A teacher of domestic
science in Inverurie, Aberdeenshire,
Scotland, she was educated at the
schools there and had four years at
college at Aberdeen. She lives on
Z a 200-acre farm with her family
and their main interest is the
growing of Aberdeen Angus cattle.
Speaking with a charming accent,
with broad AS and rolling Rs, she
impressed one with her friendly
personality.
Describes Trip
When asked about her trip, she
told of sailing from Liverpool, of
seeing icebergs, of landing at st.
Johns, Newfoundland for two days,
then of arrival at Boston. Coming
from Boston to Wilmington by
train she was particularly anxious
to see New York. Her only chance
was when the train stopped and
she went up to the street and took
about four steps on the pavement;
as she said: 80 that 1 can say that
1 walked on the streets of New
York;; however, she had no i'm
preston of the city. Miss Green
said that she had never seen segre-
cation until she visited in Sussex /
County, where she said "she was
struck with it." If she had not
stopped in Boston she would have
thought it natural to this country.
She is keeping a journal of her
experiences, which will include
trip to Utah before her return
home late in August, and she will
talk at meetings of Young Farm
ers' Clubs and at the Scottish Wo-
mems Rural Institutes when she
gets back.
Attends All Club Meet
She attended a meeting of the
Stump Corner All Club at the
home of the Dukes last Wednesday,
and a meeting of the Friendly
Neighbors Home Demonstration
Club Tuesday at the home of Mrs.
Arthur CHM. On Monday Anne
was taken on tour of the Smyr-
ma School where she was impressed
most of all by the auditorium with
its large stage. In visiting the
home economics department she
found the same kind of equipment
as used in the school in which she
teaches, alltho the method of
teaching in units is unlike that
used in Scotland. They have re-
Gently installed completely mod
ern cafeteria, she said, with the
newest electrical equipment.
Chosen To Make Trip
When asked how she qualified to
represent Scotland on the three
months tour of this country, she
said that she was the 1948 winner
in poultry trussing contest in the
Young Farmers group, and she
was later chosen from group of
young people who had written ex-
pressions of why they would like to
visit the United States. The value
of exchange of youth between
countries, in the making of friends,
and surely no girl more fitted by
intelligence and personality could
have been chosen for the adven-
ture.

GIVE ADDRESS LABOR DAY


U. S. Senator Frear Pays Tribute
To Working Men and Women
United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear, Jr., Monday night, paid tri-
butte to the Nations working men
and women, whose contributions,
he said, comprise one of the great
est chapters in the history of the
successful economic development of
the United States. In Labor Day
broadcast to Delaware
citizens, Senator Frear declared
that the laboring men and women
of this country are conscious of
their individual liberties and like
the rest of our citizenry cherish
the great heritage of which they
are a part. Mr.. Frear called on
labor to purge its ranks complete
ly of any communistic elements
which yet remain. He commended
steps already taken by labor
against subversive groups, which
he added, desire to infiltrate and
destroy the unrestricted opportuni-
ties of the American working man.
Senator Frear urged all classes of
society to work together for the
common welfare of all.
