Community Concert
Was Well Attended
GEaudans We're Well Received Here
Last Sunday Afternoon

Carnegie Hall in the form Of the
Community Concert Association re-
turned to Milford last Sunday af-
ternOOn when the cello and piano
team Of NikOlai and Joanna Grau-
dan were presented in the first of
this seasons series.
Several hundred fortunate sub
scribers to Milford's concerts were
favOrably impressed with the play
ing of this grand couple. The first
part of their program consisted of
three numbers by Tessarini, Beeth-
oven, and Chopin. First impression
gave most of the listeners the idea
that pianist and cellist were not
a team but merely a sOloist and
piano accompanist, but such was
not the case since the Sonata in G
minor of Beethoven was written
primarily for two solo instruments
and reflected ones impression of
the impressive sOnatos which were
written years later by the master
composer. In the Chopin Introduc-
tion and POlOnaise, Opus 8, Chopin
proved in this early work what he
accomplished later in his more
popular piano polonaises that he
intended to raise the national dance
OF Poland from a mere folk dance
to a recognized art form.

Sussex County Director
Col. Carlton B. Shaffer
Gives Overall Picture
Of Set-Up At Recent
Meeting.

The overall picture Of the pres
ent civil defense program for Del
aware was given by Colonel Carl
ton B. Shaffer, Sussex County di-
rector. as speaker at the meeting
of the Village Improvement AssO-
citation of RehobOth Beach last
week.
Praising the progress made by
the Red Cross Disaster Committee
at RehObOth Beach, Colonel Shaf-
fer, who is also chairman of Area
8, said the local disaster commit
tee is farther along than any other
section of the state. He felt this
was cOmmendable in that this is
one of the strategic coastal areas.
Colonel Shaffer explained the
difference between "civilian de-
fense" and civil defense under
the present setup, which he said
was confused in many persons
minds. "Civil defense" ne said, 'is
the present statewide program un-
der Major Preston Lee, whereby
functioning units are the Red Cross
and other organizations such as
fremen and police. Civilian de-
tense is the protection of civilian
population by the armed forces"
The Red Cross part in the civil
defense program is to provide med
ical care, food, clothing and shell
ter, he said. Intensive surveys are
being made, he said, in all areas.
Here in Area 8, the disaster
work is in two sections. The north
ern half functions under Lewes.
with the disaster center in the Hem
lOpen Grange Hall. The southern
half is under RehObOth Beach, with
the American Legion and v. +. w.
post homes as headquarters. Other
centers throughout Sussex County
are being secured. Harry w.
Wright is disaster chairman for
Rehoboth and Raymond A. Atkins
for Lewes. AS this state functions
with the defense headquarters in

approaching emergency Washing
Ton Immediately flashes the infor-
nation to the Delaware chapter
headquarters in Wilmington, which
n turn contacts each area in the
state.
EVERY evacuee will be carefully
checked to avoid any lost persons
Committees at Rehoboth Beach are
on a central source of
supplies. Clothing is being col
lected for storage in the two dis
aster centers, and transportation
possibilities are being recorded. ;"
he said.
Colonel Shaffer added that the
Delaware River valley has been
recognized as ga vital point for
enemy bombs" While such small
places as Rehoboth and Lewes are
not thought to be objects of at
tack, in comparison with large in
dustrial centers. we must be fully
prepared here for caring for evac-
uees from a wide area, possibly as
far as Wilmington on the north
and Salisbury on the south. Ger
tain highways are being assigned
for Army traffic, and others for
evacuation purposes, to avoid any
traffic jams"

wear the heels whenever you wish.
However. I think it is lot
smarter and more considerate to
wear low heels when high ones
make you taller than your date.
F. You do this not because you are
ashamed of your height, but be-
cause you do not want to make
the man who is taking you out
look like a runt. You probably
want him to repeat invitations
and most men do not like to look
shorter than the women they go

OF course, if you join the Star
