Rehoboth Teams To
Play Here Monday
continued from nrss paesJ

Despite the considerable margin
separating the Vets and Lions IN
the standings, previous meetings
between the Milford and Rehoboth
mems teams have been very closely
contested. In the first meeting Of
these rivals, on Dec. 18th, here.
Milford led the Lions, 43 TO AZ. at
the end Of three closely contested
quarters, only to have Rehoboth
rally strongly in the latter part Of
the game, to win, SO to 40. Two
weeks ago, the same teams clashed
again at Rehoboth, with Milford
leading by eight points at half
time and the score knotted at 81
all at the end of the regulation
playing time; in this game, Reho-
both outscOred the Vets, IL to 5.
in an overtime period to finally tri-
umph by a 49 to 40 score.
Rehoboth has lead the All-Dela-
ware circuit for most of the sea-
son, holding first place until the
past Monday, when a red-hot Har-
ringtOn team racked up its eighth
straight win to move into a tie
with the Lions for top position; :;
ironically enough, Harrington's
latest win was at the expense of
RehObOth, Bill MINERS Legion
naires defeating the Lions, sc to
so, on the Lions own court. How
ever, this defeat was nothing for
the Lions to feel ashamed of, as
Harrington is currently the hot
test club in the All-Delaware
League and is being favored by
many observers to carry off PEN
nant honors.
RehobOth's offensive is built
around Kenny Lingo and Jim Tray
is, two fast-stepping forwards, who,
as teammates, have starred in the
past for RehObOth High, Beacon
College, and the Georgetown Coun-
tyseaters. Also available with the
RehObOth club are such we'll known
players as Ted NowakOWski, Bob
Wilhelm, Bill Walls, Cliff Phillips,
Howard Faust and Jack Hudson.
Marion Rose, RehObOth COP, who
was with Milford for a spell early
in the current season, is also with
the RehOboth team.
Milford teams divided a double
bill with FELTON, teams here the
past Monday evening, the Hens de-
feating the FELTON, Vetnettes, 80 to
"a, in a girls league game, and the
Vets losing to the FELTON, V. F. w
team, SO to sc, in a mems league
game. A big fourth quarter rally

Work On Sears Dover
Store Progressing
lcontinued non nrnt -,

Sears first opened its store in Do
yer in 1888, and its acceptance bv
the people of this community and
surrounding trade area increased
so rapidly that it was necessary to
nearly double the size of the store
in 1888.
The erection of the new addition
marks another step in the Com
pany's development program in Do
over and as pointed out by Mr.. Ko-
ski, indicates a desire on the part
of Sears to help develop and i'm
prove the Dover shopping district.
1t was also pointed out that, in
spite Of these alterations and re-
modelling, Sears Dover store will
continue to serve its many custo-
mers as usual.

THE EASTERN SHORE LEAGUE
FOLDS UP

At long last the Eastern Shore League of
organized baseball has folded up. Lack of
interest and financial backing is given as the
reason. 1t has been evident to all persons
who took the time to think the matter through
that such action would be inevitable. The
Chronicle has never been able to see how the
league could carry on under the set-up used.
1t was foolish to expect local citizens to carry
the load while the big league moguls reaped
any sales benefits from the development of
players. Other than paid space writers in
the newspapers, who have kept harping on
the crying demand for such sport in lower
Delaware, there has been no public demand
for organized baseball. The Chronicle, dur
ing the last year in which the league had a
team in Milford, printed QUESTIONABLE in
which we asked the people to give their de-
sires on baseball publicity. We received six
answers. Four of these were in one family,
and the other two were from persons direct
ly connected with the club. That was just
what we expected to get. Certainly there
will be no great public wailing or gnashing
of teeth because of the demise of this un-
needed sports group.

TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRORS

All newspaper publishers will agree that
one of the worst nightmares in the business
is the typographical error which turns a
serious piece of writing into a thing of levity.
They enjoy citing book in which the hero,
while swimming, suddenly called for
"wifeguard." Almost every issue of every
newspaper, both daily and weekly, contains
one or more glaring errors which are often
amusing but sometimes embarrassing.
Some say that these things can be stopped
as an editor of the Marine Corps Gazette dis
covered few years ago. He captiOned pic
ture Marines Swan Ashore" and incurred
the wrath of his command general, who ar
gued that the Marines would have drowned
II they had tried swimming ashore in battle
dress. The editor blamed it on the printer,
pointing out that the caption should have read
Marines Swarm Ashore" ''In the future"
stated a written order from the general next
morning, there will be no more typographi-
cal errors in the Marine Corps Gazette"
Just how the generals order has worked
we do not knOw-but, if our experience is
average in such matters, his blood pressure
will hit high mark some of the days when
another such typo" appears. Appear it will
and at most inOpportune time.

DOWN THE ROAD no STATISM

James F. ByTneS, who was formerly Sec
retary Of State, and has long held a high place
in the councils of the Democratic Party, re-
Gently said, eve are going down the road to
StatiSm, where we will wind up no one can
tell. But if some of the new programs seri-
ously proposed should be adopted, there is
danger that the Observation-Disclosures farmer,
worker, manufacturer, lawyer, or doctor
will soon be an economic slave, pulling an oar
in the galley of the state" That same idea, in
different words, has been expressed time and
time again by other American leaders, of all
political and economic views and affiliations.
More important, that idea is based sOldly
upon rock of fact. The whole history of the
modern world supports it. That history is a
black and dreary record of steady loss of in
dividual liberty under the crushing force of
allpOWerful government. We see it in it's ex-
treme form in the communist countries,
where tactics of terror unknown since medic
val days are used to crush dissent and fright
en- the people into line. We see it in much
modified version in present-day England,
where the forms of AnglO-SaxOn law are still
followed and the structure of representative
government still stand. But the difference
is one Of detail and degree, not of principle.
1t may be that the greatest danger is short
SlghtedneSS. The man who runs a store may
feel, for instance, that government owner
ship of some great industry, such as electric
power, is of small moment to him. The man
who works in factory may see no personal
menace in law that would give the govern
ment broad controls over DOCTORS A labor
leader may welcome more and more govern
mental domination of industrial leaders with
whom he has differences. This is the way die
tatorship comes about. One group is taken
over at time, while the other groups stand
by and argus that it's no affair of theirs
Then, when it is too late, we find to our hor.
ror that we're all in the same boat In mod.
ern times, no nation which has lost it's free.
dom has ever regained it. The tOtalitariar
victories are permanent. On the other hand
the victories of those who still believe in free
dom and justice are temporary The battle
must be fought again and again, year after
year, on front after front And each must b,
won. The road to statism is marked with
cheerful signs-human welfare, better life
for the masses of people, security against
everything. But when the end is reached the
people are always in chains.

Sincere Collecting Bargaining Is Answer

AS humanity travels down the road to eternity it brings
upon ITSELF by its selfish actions, all of it's troubles,
then through life fighting losing battle trying to
cape the consequences of its wrongdoing.
Since the beginning of time that natural law know
and effect has been operation Our every pro-
duces results. If actions right good will result Ii
acts wrong punishment to No per-
manently escape the results of his actions.
Unions the result of wrong actions managemens
part and there for the guilty escape punishment
Unions brought about to protect deenseess workers
from the seShness of those who control the jobs the
peoples and ways Of making living But if unons
after becoming strong too far and do than right the
that exists, then they too will bring about cond
ton that will bring punishment upon themselves.
Neither the employer labor should try to obtain
advantage by using high pressure methods awmak-
to pass unfair piece of legislation because the law of
cause and effect will finally get around to furnishing the
guilty Sincere collective bargaining by both parties is the
best and sures way of permanently settling differences
and keeping both management and labor happy.
