GUNGhESSMEA FROM LOW LlIEKAUY STATES BLOCKING CULTURED ALASKA
 Alaska. despite it's relatively small population, is producing more new authors than any state in the union, according 10 Edward Uhlan, president of the Exposition Press of New York.
 The Exposition Press publisher noted that Congressmen from the states with the lowest literacy rate were holding mp statehood for all area which Is bidding for true cuI- tural leadership. The production of books. especially by new authors, Mr. Uhlan said, Is a first-rate test of the cultural level of any region.
 AIaskas new literary boom, Le pointed out, is not its first. He suggested that it parallels the rapid growth oft the territory's economy and the forward progressive outlook of it's eitizenry.
 Uhlan made this statement in an- nOuncing forthcoming publication of Bathroom Down the Hall," a rollicking account of life in a south Dakota rooming house, by William Camern Johnston. John ston, who is employed by Arctic Contractors at Fairbanks, wrote Bathrooms Down the Hall' at that firms Point Barrow construc- tion camp. The book will appear March 30th.
 More Authors Than New York
 Two more books by Alaska au- thors are on Exposition's Spring list, making a total Of five Exposi- tion titles for the Territory in a single publishing season. Not evell New York State can match that re- cord.

CLERGY REPRESENTED

Services at st. Peters Church
on Palm Sunday, March IS, will
be Holy Communion and Blessing
of the Palms at 8 a.m.; church
school, 10 am; Morning Prayer
and sermon by the rector, IL am.
The Wednesday evening Lenten
service of The Litany and Medita-
tion is held at 7:30 pm. during
Lent. The Rt. Rev. Arthur r. Nc
Kinstry, Bishop of the Episcopal
Diocese of Delaawre, oficiated at
the office of institution of the Rev.
Luman j. Morgan as rector of st.
Peters Church at a service held
last Sunday afternoon. The Rev.
William c. Munds, rector of Christ
Church, Christiana Hundred, de-
plored the spread of secularimn,
saying that there is need for moral
courage and that the task of the
Church is the same as in its early
days, that of winning the world for
Christ. 1t is the duty of the Church
to keep alive Christianity's highest
values, moral and spiritual, and
that unless we do hold fast to these
values the whole structure of soci-
ETY. will collapse. Loss of faith in
ideals is more dangerous than po-
litical propaganda" he continued,
stating that we must seek to de-
velop men and women of vision
who do not lose sight of the en-
during values. Christ was man OF
vision who saw the ultimate fruits
of good and evil, according to the
speaker, and time has proven that
He was right, and the advocates
of expediency were wrong. Dr.
Munds sees the Church as the sanc4
tuary in the midst of troubled
world and the basis of a society in
the words: Seek ye first the King
dom of God, and all things else
will be added unto you" Among
the clergy of the diocese who at
tended were the Rev. Paul Kellogg,
Christ Church, Dover; the Rev.
Walden Pell II, st. Andrews
School; The Very Rev. J. Brooke

HEAR DUPONT
James @. DUPONT Gives Brilli-
ant Talk at Lions
Club Meeting
DIST. GOV. HORTY HERE

In a talk called, Pioneers, Then
and Now" by James Q. DUPONT be-
fore the Smyrna Lions Club on
Monday night, he said that atom
bombs and weapons will not con-
troll Communism. Marx started a
flame in the hearts of men," he
stated, and we must re-kindle the
complete flame of Christ as back
fire. He saw as more dangerous
here than the Iron Curtain what
he termed "The New Dark Forest"
that of ideas, for a forest grows, is
self-propagating. Illustrated with
graphic chart using trees" as
figures, he told of four divisions of
the enemy; one group, those in des-
perate material need; the rabble
rousers; the frustrated, who are
not at peace with themselves;
would-be prima donnas and big
shots; and the good, intelligent and
wise people, who are taken in by
the enemy because they have one
mental blindspot, that of lack of
experience with large groups of
human beings in any productive
effort of significance or duration.
And hidden behind these groups,
he envisioned a despot, an evil,
wise man who makes promises to
all groups. He told the Lions that
he saw small group such as they
as communist cell in reverse; I;
that they have chance to "go out
and do something about it." The
speaker was introduced by Robert
Dunning, and the response was
made by Guy Edmondson, Jr. Hen

ed and announced special direc-

COL. I'll. E. BULLS
SPEAKS AT PTA.
Audience Challenged To Help
Children Who Are Emo
tiOnal Orphans
SCHOOL BAND PLAYS

We have focused attention on
the intellectual and physical devel-
opment of children, and overlook
ed the fact that they must also
grow up emotionally, Col. H. Ed
mund Bulls told parents and
teachers at the meeting of the
P'TA here on Thursday night at
the Smyrna School. He traced the
background to the human relations
classes started by him in this state
and said that Smyrna was one of
the first ten schools in Delaware
to start the classes; also he illus
trated a typical class. 'There are
too many emotional orphans in
school," he said, who have never
received love, and it is "our chal-
lenge to help these orphans" He
further stated that we are mott
waited by our fears, loves, hates,
and jealousies, and that "our intel
lect helps steer the way" He listed
signs of emotional maturity as the
ability to make and keep friends,
to make decisions, to take respon-
sibility, to win or lose, make COM
promises. Speaking of the fear that
all feel in our future he said that
"all the problems we are facing in
life today are due to faulty human
relations, and that the people who
represent us at international levels
are emotionally immature" In con-
clusion, he gave ten points to as
sure tranquility of mind and hap
piness: a job that holds ones inter-
est; an avocation or hobby; friends;
religious faith and a philosophy of
life; ability to relax at will; a
sense of humor; ability to face
reality; sympathy for those less
fortunate; expansion of our areas
of interest (deploring the narrow
area of television); love of beau
ty as defined by art, nature, liter
ature, or music. We have never
found at Farnhurst anyone with
all these qualities, he continued.
The speaker was introduced by
George w. Wright. The invocation
was given by the Rev. Walter l..
Beckwith. Edward Schabinger pre-
sided. The school band opened the
program with several varied selec-
tions, led by Frank Siekmann. Mrs.
Margaret O'Neill made a brief re-
port of a meeting of the Council
for Delaware Education on legisla-
ton pertaining to education. A
nominating committee was select
ed to present a slate at the April

FIRST WOMAN
TO WIN AWARD
Mrs. 7. w. Russell First WO-
msn to Win Outstanding
Citizen Award
NOTED SCOUT LEADER

Mrs. Thomas w. Russell, Girl
Scout leader, became the first wo-
man to win the Outstanding Citiz-
en- Award at a service held in the
school on Sunday afternoon. And
for the first time the recipient was
not present TO receive the honors.
Mrs. Russell had gone to Augusta,
Ca, early in the week to be with
the family of Mr.. and Mrs. Ran
dolph Russell following the birth
of her granddaughter. Mr.. Russell
accepted the gift and award in her
behalf, and her daughters, Ellen

counties; has received national re-
cognition and is also a volunteer
trainer of scout leaders in the Will
mington area. Mr.. Tunnel gave a
talk on whether our purpose today
in life is pagan or Cody, saying
that rarely do we read in the press
of honors bestowed for unselfish-
ness but rather of sins, transgres-
sions and obscenities. He stressed
the Importance of such a ceremony
and commended the Lions for "tak-
ing time to notice" saying that
such an award gives all who par
ticipate feeling of inspiration.
