PAPER ON ATOMIC BOMB

The Smyrna Rotary Club en-

and also became a co-sponsor of
the local appearance of the Cancer
Detection Unit of the State Board
of Health, at their dinner meeting
on Thursday night at The Wayside
Inn, with Albert A. Newcomb, Sr.
presiding. James Everhart read
a paper on the phenomena associ-
ated with atomic bombs, describ-
ing various methods of shelter and
the explosive content and its rela-
tive radius. Comparisons were
based on the destruction of Hiro-
shima. One airplane carrying
atomic bombs would be equal to
300 airplanes loaded with the reg
ular block buster bombs, he stated.
It was shown that medical assist
ance would have to come from
some distant town or city, provid-

STATE MUSEUM
FINISHED SOON
Old Presbyterian Church,
Dover 18th Century Land
mark, Being Restored
ADMISSION TO BE FREE

Capped by Delaware-style cup
ola, the Delaware State Museum
building is nearly finished. Since
March 9th, the Cantera Construc-
tion Company of Wilmington has
been carrying out plans executed
by Albert Kruse of Pope & Kruse,
Wilmington architects, to restore
the 18th Century Dover landmark,
the old Presbyterian Church on
South Governors Avenue. Behind
it's frontage of naples, passersby
recently have noted in the main
building the replacement of small
paned windows for Victorian STAIN
ed glass, a new chimney and the
chancel made into a two-story
wing, while the chapers roof and
brick have been replaced and
pointed, and new chimney and a
new cellar door are the external
changes to be seen there. Within
the Old Church, when the building
opens in the near future, visitors
will see tile floor replacing the
termite-infested boards, and the
box pews removed, except from
one corner. There will be wall
where the front of the chancel used
to be, behind which now is hand
some stairway, Office and boiler
room. The balcony which former
ly went around three sides now ex-
tends all around, making a practic-
al second floor gallery for exhibits.
All of the usable old paneling has
been reinstalled around the walls
The same six columns support the
gallery as during the 128 years
when worshippers attended this
old church. 1t was necessary to
install a new baluster upstairs
One in keeping with the spirit of
the old building will be seen. It
was found that the original wood
work had been painted gray, and
the walls white, so the Advisory
Committee-Mrs. Henry Ridgely
Mr.. H. F. DUPONT, and Mr.. H. Rod
ney Sharp-has recommended U.S.
ing the traditional color scheme

The three handsome front door
ways are unchanged Modern heat
ing and lighting to make this a
truly functional museum have
been added. Between now and the
opening date, the staff and others
are busily engaged preparing the
exhibits which will tell Delaware's
story in the main church building.
The Chapel will not be ready for
use by the public until later. The
displays will show material telling
about plant and animal life of Del

Admitted Immediately
Acting upon DR.. Keever's sug-
gestion, Mrs. Hickok wrote to
Warm Springs, and was given an
appointment to have little Star
ling examined. Seven different
physicians checked her over, and
finally told Mrs. Hickok she was
lucky to get the little girl there
when she did; to have delayed
much longer might have resulted
in a permanent disability.
Warm Springs had l75-bed
capacity, and is always full. More
over, there is long waiting list
from polio victims wanting to get
in.
But because of the urgency of
her condition, Startling was adj
mitted to the Foundation at once.
That was on Sept. %, 1949, and

Schools to Add
z More Teachers

Addition of two new element
ary teachers for next year was
approved and three additional pc
titions for the transfer of terri
tory in the Marysville school dis
trict were received by the Mays
vile Board of Education during
its regular meeting Thursday
night.
The new grade school teachers
will make it possible for a set-up
using three combined grades. This
will take the pressure off the re-
gular room. The extra rooms will
be grades ID, ga, and 5-6. There
will be only about 30 pupils in
each room under this plan
The petitions presented asked
for the transfer of a group of fam
lilies to the Union School District
at Milford Center and one family
to the Taylor district.
The Board also voted to trade
in II old Royal typeWriters on
new ones. The net cost of this
transaction will be $42.25 per ma
chine with the trade-in.
Mrs. Howard Thompson was re-
appointed to the Library Board
for the coming year.
Specifications are to be drawn
up before the next meeting foI
the modernization of the toilets
in the East and West buildings
The Board will advertise for bids
as soon as possible after the plans
are completed.
Plans were also made for the
advertisement for bids on the
proposed field house, to be bull
at the Memorial Athletic Field,
this summer.

hospital left Startling with only
her right leg affected, and when
she came home, she had to wear
brace from her hip to her ankle.
Foot Badly DeForTned
She could walk, but her right
foot was badly deformed, and it
might eventually have affected
her back" Mrs. Hickok recalls.
"Those were certainly anxious
days for us all, wondering if Star
ling would ever be completely
normal again.
Then, one day, Mrs. Hickok
went in to have a talk with DR..
K. w. Keever, former Redwood
physician, whose own little girl
Carla, was also a polio victim.
Carla had gone to Warm Springs,
Ga, foundation, where the treat
ment she received had practically
restored her to normal.
''Had it not been for DR.. Keev-
er, l probably never would have
thought of it, Mrs. Hickok says.

Those are the words of Mrs.
Robert c. Hickok, of Jackson
Township, and she should know
whereof she speaks. Her little
daughter, Startling Lodell, aged z,
will eventually make a 100 percent

sis, thanks to the financial help
which was given the family by
the National foundation for In
fantile Paralysis.
Little Startling was stricken
with the dread malady on July

rible anxiety, she was taken to
Children's Hospital, Columbus,
where she was to remain for five
months. 1t was Christmas time
when she came home again.

Council Approves
Sewer Extension

Construction of a sanitary sew
er as requested by property own
ers on w. Seventh st. was ap-
proved by the village council al
the regular meeting Thursday
night after it was discovered that
a small balance remains in the
sewer construction fund.
Several property owners on W.
Seventh have made visits to the
council meetings to request that
a sewer extension be put in to
connect them with Grove st. The
Council had explained that nc
money was available for such
construction and that the property
owners who propose to build
there would have TO stand the
expense themselves.
This balance was then discov-
cred in the sewer construction
fund and the Council brought ur
a motion to stand half of the ex.
pense of the project. The motion
was carried.
Fire protection was extended
to Mill Creek Township for one
year for the sum of $500 by the
Council. They also discussed the
purchase of a power saw which
would cost $500, although the.
took no action.
Bills amounting to $23l5.9'
were read by Dale Overly, chair
man of the finance committee
and moved paid by the council

Rainfall Sends Streams Up
Again, Closes School Here
.l.78 Inches Fall
Sunday, Today;
Fields Flooded
Mill Creek Rising
Rapidly This Morning;
Temperature at 43

Exceptionally heavy rains Sun
day afternoon and night and Mon
day morning caused streams in
Union County to raise out of their
banks and left water standing in
many fields in the Marysville
area. 1t also forced the closing of
Marysville schools due to water
backing UP in the basement of
the West Building.
Mill Creek was out of its banks
this morning and was rising
steadily through the day, County
Highway officials feared that
Big Darby might block roads in
the southern part of the county
by evening if it also continued
to rise. The county garage had
no reports of roads being blocked
by water at noon however.
The State Highway Garage re-
ports several cases of high water
blocking roads, most of them at
scattered points throughout the
county. The underpass on route
161 near Plain City was covered
by three feet of water this morn
ing, state officials reported.
More water was standing in
the fields than at any time this
winter it was reported although
there have been some very heavy
rains. Total of 1.78 inches of rain
fell during this period, as of noon
Monday, according to the observ-
er for the United States Weather
( Bureau at the Water Plant here.
This is the first time that the
school house basement has been
flooded since the Maple st. sew
er was installed, Supt. H. w.
Carr, of Marysville Public School,
said Monday.
This flooded condition is caused
by the water from the down
spoutS of houses which flows in
to the sanitary sewers, simply fill
ling them with more water than
they are able to handle.
Janitors in the West Building
reported that they were unable to
close the gates in the sanitary
sewer in time to prevent water
entering the basement. They re-
ported that a spout of water two
feet high gushed out of the drain.
Temperatures and rainfall since
Thursday follow:
