If the plan succeeds, Mr.. Griffin

HAGERSTOWN, Md, July 30
Construction of new, tougher and
more versatile Glib Flying Box
car" has been started by Fair
child Engine & Aircraft Corp,
General Manager w. L. Landers
announced.
He said the new model, to be
known as C-119-H, is expected to
be ready for its first fight early
next year.
The most apparent change in
the plane, Mr.. Landers said, will
be an increase in the wing area
to enable the cargo ship to fly at
lower minimum speeds, take off
and land in shorter distances and
carry greater military loads than
its predecessors.

nor Elbert N. Carvel will accept it
in behalf of the State, Mr.. Ayars
stated that this is the fourth con-
secutive year that our State Driv-
er Education program has received
National recognition in this field
delaware was the first in the Unit
ed States to offer a driver educa-
ton course on a statewide basis
and it's program has set the pat
tern for many states and cities
Throughout the country, Mr.. Ayars
added. The course, requiring both
classroom and practice driving, is
offered to all of Delaware's public
secondary schools. Since 1914
when cars were again available af.
ter World War II, there have beer
6,878 boys and girls enroll in the
state program. Of these students
a total of 1880 successfully passed
the course. Over the years, z fine
safety record has been established
by these graduates. Statistics in
disputably show that those young
drivers who have had the driver
education course, have approxim
ately rs per cent fewer arrests, &C,
cidents, and warnings than those
who have not had the benefit o.
such training. Last year there
were 1890 students enrolled in thi!

Season
CLOSING FOURTH SEASON

Heralding the close of another
summer, the Robin Hood Theatre
company at Arden, Delaware, goes

Goodbye, My Fancy, with Gym
thia Rogers heading the cast in her
last appearance of the season. The

in its comic action, "The Walrus
and the Carpenter" develops in the

SAINT in New York City. Mrs.
Stuyvesant is beset by the prob
lens of thieving butler, mean
landlord, an expectant daughter
harrassed son-in-law, and a fierce
nurse. Added to these trials are
the quarrels of another daughter
with her husband, and the actions
of third daughter, seventeen, who
believes herself in love with a stu
dent actor. ''The Walrus and the
Carpenter" is sheer merriment
from curtain to curtain as it un-
folds it's tale of the domestic ad-
ventures of a family of improvi-
dent socialites. Other players in
imajor roles of the Robin Hoods
last show of their 1851 summer
will be Barbara Rush, John Drew
Devereaux, Howard Morton, An
thony Perkins, Alan Furlan, Mary
Diveny, and Marguerite Morrissey.
Windsor Lewis is staging the pro-
duction prior to flying to Berlin to
stage manage Judith Anderson's
'Medea" which is being presented

lin Drama Festival.

Simpson is the daughter of Ivan
Simpson, another Robin Hood fav-
orite. She has recently been seen
