BIG RACES AT
FAIR HILL, MD.
FOxcatcher National Cup Rae
es Rated as Toughest
Course in Country
NINETEEN HAZARDS

While it has been customary to
regard the jumping course at Ain
tree, near Liverpool, over which
the famous English Grand Nation
al is run, as the most difficult in
the world, it is a fair guess that
the fences over which the three
mile Foxcatcher National Cup
Steeplechase at Fair Hill, Md, will
be renewed for the twelfth time on
September 8, are just about on a
par with the English Course. Many
of the top steeplechase riders in
the country who have ridden over
the National Cup track, will testify
that it is as difficult as they come.
In all, there are 10 jumps that have
been built with the skill and exper-
ience of William DUPONT, Jr., who
has had hand in the construction
of most of the nations steeple-
chase course at the big tracks.
Belmont Park, Delaware Park,
Saratoga, Aqueduct, Pimlico, Laur-
el and Monmouth Park, are some
of the tracks where Mr.. DUPONT
has guided the policy of jump con-
struction. At Fair Hill the high
est jump is the six feet, four inch
high "Chinese WALL" so named be-
cause it is of stone and brick con-
struction. In addition to it's height,
this fence has a depth of 13 feet,
which includes water hazard and
a ditch. While many good horse

LEWES MUSEUM
OPEN MONDAY
Special Exhibits of Rare Glass
and Antiques Remain on
View for Visitors
OPEN LABOR DAY

The Zwaanendae Museum at
Lewes, while normally closed on
Mondays, will be open to the public
on Labor Day, Sept. 8, for the
benefit of the holiday crowds, is
announced by the curator, Miss
Catharine C. Maull. The special
summer exhibit of rare and unus-
ual glass, will remain on view un-
til late in September, she says. The
collection, loaned by many Sussex
County families, has attracted hun
dreds of persons. Miss Maull re-
ports a total of 1900 Museum Wis
itors for the month of July. Visit
ing hours on Labor Day will be
from 10 am. to noon, and from
/ 80 to $50 p. m. For the rest of
the season the Museum is open
Tuesdays through Saturdays dur
ing the same hours as on Labor
Day, and on Sundays from 1890
to $50 p. m. Should any special
groups, such as out-of-town parties
or school children, wish to come in
other than the regular scheduled
hours, Miss Maull will arrange for
them by appointment either at the
Museum by telephoning Lewes
1921, or her home, Lewes 1891.
Recent loans to the Museum from
Mrs. Daniel H. Galloway of Bridge
vile, are an iron Betty Whale Oh
Lamp, circa about 1900, and very
large iron fork for lifting meat
from the fireplace. State Archiv-
list, Leon deValinger, Jr., has
brought down for the permanent
collection of the Museum, an
American flag and a Dutch flag as
gifts from Mrs. William S. Eilles
of "Ommelandn" New Castle. These
nylon ensigns were among those
used in the recent Tercentenary
celebration at historic New Castle.
Similar ones were also presented to
the new Delaware State Museum
at Dover. Miss Maull has hung
the flags on each side of the en-
trance to the Museum room of
zwaanendael House, directly under
a large portrait of Queen Wilhel-
NINA of Holland at the age of eigh-
teen. The building, dedicated in
1882, is a memorial to the first
Dutch settlers in Delaware, who
landed at Lewes in 1881.

FALL RACING
AT HARRINGTON
Kent & Sussex Racing AssO-
citation to Open 20-Night
Meet September 6
STABLES FILLED

Several horsemen have indicated
they will attempt to put marks on
their horses when the annual fall
meet of the Kent & Sussex Racing
Association opens at Harrington
Thursday, Sept. 6, for 20 nights of
parimutuel harness racing. Be-
cause it has one of the fastest
tracks in the East, the Harrington
raceway has attracted several cell
ebrities of the harness racing
world who came to make their
mark. For example, Franklin
Hastings Royal Mist came here
during the Kent & Sussex Fair in
July and established a worlds rec
ord for 2-year-old pacing fillies on
half-mile track, with mark of
2:05. The same afternoon j. M.
Davis Berty York, driven by Olin
Davis, established a track record
for 3-year-old PAGERS with a mark
of 2:04.3. During the spring meet
of the Kent & Sussex Racing Asso-
citation, Hadley Hanover came
down from Yonkers to make his
record of 2:02.3. This horse, Royal
Mist and Berty York are all Pen
insula owned. In the summer of
1850 Rosecroft Raceway's w. e.
Miller drove Henry Volo a mile in
2:01.1 in time trial. With the
above performances, one does not
need a crystal ball to see why
these horses, all of which are ac-
customed to racing for substantial
purses on prominent tracks, came
to Harrington. The Harrington
Journal Trophy race for $1,000, di-
vided purse, will be the feature
race on the opening night of the
meet. There will be a similar race
each night during the meet, with a
race for $500, in two heats, and
other races with a minimum purse
of $500. General Manager T. Brin-
ton Holloway said this week that
the stables would be filled to capac-
ity, 450 horses, and that the daily
double, inaugurated during the
spring meet, would again be avail
able. He added that many horse
men would terminate the racing
season here and winter in Har-
rington. Race horse fans will
have 35 acres of parking space.

BACK AFTER
YEAR IN KOREA
Cpl. H o mer Hart Arrives
Home After Year of Ac-
tiOn in Korea
RECEIVED SIVER STAR

Cpl. Homer Hart, son of Mr.. Will
liam Hart of Clayton and holder of
the Silver Star, returned home yes
terday after almost year of ac-
tion in Korea. Cpl. Hart, who has
lived in this vicinity almost all of
his life, enlisted in the U. S. Army
twenty-seven months ago. He land
ed in Korea on September 18, 1850
and was in combat every day for
about eleven months, with the ex-
ception of thirty-seven days which
he spent in a hospital in Japan. A
of the 32nd Infantry Regi-
ment of the 7th Infantry Division,
he was awarded the Silver Star on
March 23 for saving the life of his
officer when they were attacked by
North Korean soldiers on January
IL. Hart's group was spearhead
regiment and his platoon was sent
out several miles ahead of the rest
of his. company. He was one of
eight men who volunteered to
spend the night on a road block.
After returning to camp through
the snow on the following morning,
he went out with four other men
and their officer on a scouting mis-
sion to a nearby village. They
reached the village, walked through
and proceeded some distance to an
other village without meeting any
difficulty. Upon returning to the
first village, they were attacked by
the enemy. They fled through a
nearby rice field, the officer being
wounded. Two of the men escaped
while Hart and two other men took
refuge with the wounded officer in
a ditch. They stayed there for
five hours until two tanks arrived,
chased the enemy and picked up
the men. On June IL, Cpl. Hart
was wounded in action and was
taken out of combat for the first
time since reaching Korea. He re-
turned to battle after his discharge
from the hospital, and on August
4 he sailed for home. He is now
on 30-day furlough, after which
he will report to FIT. George Meade,
Maryland.

One i'm a Million

Thousands Of Americans will die trying to have
a good time this coming Labor Day holiday, many
more thousands will wind up in hospitals because
they tried too hard to have fun, and millions will
come back home needing rest to from their
strenuous holiday.
Have good time but get some rest Come back
feeling better than when you left home. And by all
means take safety along with you.
]. James Ashton, Manager of the Delaware
Safety Council reminds us that the first rule for
safety on holiday trip concerns traveling-if you
go in your automobile. The rule is to allow enough
time to get there and get back with safe driving
Don't hurry. That doesn't mean to poke along
But 1t does mean to drive at safe speed at all times
and never to take chance at the top of hill or on
curve or in crowded traffic
Such acts excessive speed, ignoring the
right OF way, driving under the influence of alcohol
driving on the wrong side of the road passing inn
properly, and disregarding officer or traffic con-
troll device are at the very least discourteous be-
havor, and at the worst wanton MURDER" Mr.. Ash
ton said.
With traffic deaths approaching the 100000
mark due in December, this particular time of the
year when highway travel reaches its peak is good
time for every Delaware motorist to pledge that he
won't be one in a million!
So happy holiday! If you are in hurry, don't
forget to start sooner and remember to drive care
fully - the life you save may be your own

commensurate with their abilities

geant James ]. Moore, Army and
Air Force Recruiting Sergeant for

terday. This new enlistment OPP
portunity-also open to some civ
ilians who have had no prior SER
vice but who possess a highly spec
