Victory r ally Partici-
pants In Kent Told
Governor Has Ear ALL
Tnent; May Step Out OF
Politics Altogether.

Gov. Elbert N. Carvel will prob
ably not be a candidate for reelec-
ton or for any Office in 1862, two
officials of his administration said
Monday night at the rally held by
the Kent County Democratic Club,
in celebration of the Democratic
election victory in that county.
Secretary Of State Harris B. Nc
Dowell, Jr., who is state chairman
Of the Democratic Party, told the
meeting it is doubtful Governor
Carvel will be a candidate for anv
office. He revealed the Governor
has an ear ailment, and is under
the care of a physician.
A telegram to the meeting from
the. Governor explained that he
could not attend because of the
combination of the ear ailment and
the inclement weather.
Mr.. Mcdowell said that Governor
Carvel has no political ambitions
for 1852" Vernon B. Derrickson.
president Of the Kent County Dem
ocratic Club, who is a member of
the Governors staff and of the Pub
lie Service Commission, confirmed
Mr.. McDOwelrs statements. He said
the Governor had spoken to him OF
the probability of stepping out of
politics.
Both men lauded Governor Car
vel's leadership and declared that
leadership is needed by the party.
Mr.. Mcdowell predicted that the
Republicans will open a campaign
to discredit the Governor and his
administration. He asked the Dem.
Ocrats to preserve their faith il
the man who has given the party
winning leadership"
The secretary of state predicted
that the legislature will be con.
trolled at the coming session bv the
same influence which controlled tn,
1949 session. At that time the Sen
ate was organized by the Demo
cratic majority voting with Mrs
Vera Davis to make her Presidep

Residents of Milford, who for the
past fifty weeks have been practic-

aside a sum for the Christmas Saw
ings Fund conducted by the local
banks and the L. d. Caulk Company
will be rewarded this week to the

released by the Milford Trust Com

Fund Club of The L. d. Caulk Com
pany, all of which have been in ex-
istance for several years. This is a

clubs last year, and indicates that
while the idea is still popular in
Milford, taxes have probably caus-
ed some club members to cut down,
The first savings clubs on the
Peninsula were started several
years ago at Salisbury, Md. The
general public eagerly accepted the
method to systematically save for
the holiday season. Shortly there
after, The L. D. Caulk Company
conceived the idea of conducting a
savings fund for its employees. The
plan was successful and outsiders
were allowed to join the club. The
Milford Trust Company later took
up the idea and it, too, was a suc-
cessful and secured many deposit
tors therefrom. A few years later
the First National Bank and Trust
Company started its club and each
year has shown a satisfactory in
crease in the number Of persons
who have Joined its club.
This year the Caulk Savings Club
will send out checks to the approx
innate amount of $4,000 to its MEM
bers. The Milford Trust Company
will mail out a total of $4,000 to
those who have saved in its club.
The First National Bank and Trust
ComDany will pay approximately
$4,000 This money is released in
time FOR the holiday buyfng and IS
welcomed asset to those thrifty
persons who have taken advantage
of the three clubs in Milford.
