Mar-Del League is heavily repre-
sented with other players from the
Bi-State, Central Shore, Eastern
Shore Circuits. They opened the
season with an impressive 1872 win
over Greensboro, Eastern Shore en-
try, as Virgil Emory sparkled with
a fine mound performance. On
Thursday evening the Lewes Sea-
hawks proved tough customers un-
til the late innings when Milford
jumped out in front to win 9 to 5.
Charley Blades, Joe Moeltner and
Buddy Kimmel split the mound
work with the two home-run clouts
by Calvin Lane, University of North
Carolina infelder, being the big
gun at the plate. Sonny Ceilings
drove one out of the park for
Aewes while Dave Truitt, a left
handler, hurled good ball until he
ran into difficulty in the late inn
ings. A brilliant running catch by
Joe Lank, former University of
Delaware athlete, halted a Lewes
rally in the ninth.
Milford has lots of depth and Man
ager Taylor substituted freely in
the first two games in an effort to
get better line on his talent. EN-
Ory, Blades, Kimmel and Moeltner

with the latter also a dependable
man behind the plate Graham Dill
and Ralph DickersOn, two Milton
lads, look impressive in the catch
ing department. Rick Collins, at
first, Ted Michaels at second, Cal

pected to take over his berth in
center.

Trial Sept. 8 For
DIP Indicted For
Attack On Woman
Continued from nrsr pase)

Defense counsel, on the matter
OF an interpreter, explained that
few persons can speak the Polish
language word-for-word as should
be required in so serious a case and
expressed opinion there is no one
adequately qualified in Delaware.
They indicated it would be neces-
sary to get one from PHILADELPHIA
or probably New York.
Mr.. Terry and Mr.. Paruszewski
further advised the court they will
file motion later asking that the
statements made by Coral to police
after his arrest and before Mr..
Terry was named as attorney for
him be suppressed because the de-
fendant was without legal advice at
the time, which, they. held, was un-
constitutional.
Mr.. Terry was appointed by the
court as defense counsel on Febru-
ary IA, the day after the alleged as
sault, and Mr.. ParusZewski was
named to assist him later.
Only one of the five motions
heard Monday afternoon proved
seriously controversial. It asks
suppression Of any evidence obtain
ed by the state from a physical ex-
animation of Coral at the Kent
General Hospital after being taken
into custody by state police. On that
question, Mr.. Ridgely was directed
to submit a brief in answer to the
defense by July %.
Defense attorneys argued that
GoraPs submission to examination
was due to lack of knowledge Of
the English language, ignorance of
the customs of this country, ignor-
ance of his right to refuse to be
examined, and his European back
ground.
They maintained that such sub
mission to examination, under the
circumstances, was not consent, but
Mr.. Ridgely promptly interjected
an objection to the defense state
ment that the examination was
without the defendants consent. 4"
The deputy attorney general held
that that question was a factual
issue for the jury to decide, not an
issue of law.
The asserted taking of "body
fluids" (blOOd specimens) from Cor
al in the examination is among the
evidence objected to by the defense.
The attorneys contended that Cor
al disrObad simply because he was
told to. and that it was not vol
untary.
Three other motions and their
outcome were:
1. Request for an order permit-
ting the defense to inspect the
premises where the alleged assault
took place Mr.. Ridgely assured he
would cooperate with the defense
to that end but said he had under
stood the house has been sold and
the new owner would have to be
consulted.
2. Request for list of the names
and addresses of states witnesses.
Court directed that the information
be supplied the defense, but re-
stricted it to those with knowledge
about the case"
8. Request for right to PROFOUND
to prospective jurors the same ques-
tiOns allowed in the recent Blevins-
Church rape case in Wilmington.
The motion was granted.

presided and received reports of
committees. Ellis Kyttle, reporting
for the EvolutiOns Committee. told
the firemen that one Atom Bomb
would cause a fire which would
require 42O bumpers, pumping ESQ
gallons of water a minute each,
and covering a line of approx
mately II miles, with the bumpers
about $50 to 200 feet apart. He
pointed out that there simply is
no such amount of water available
to furnish sufficient force for the
required number of bumpers. He
also pointed out that there is a de-
finite lack of auxiliary gasoline
driven pumps which could be used
If other power failed; and empha-
sized the need for investigation of
water sources. He stated movies
would be shown in the near fu-
ture and a plan for Field Day for
Evolutions is in the making.
Col. Edgar S. Slayer, Law and
Legislative chairman, reported on
a conference with Gov. Carvel re-
lative to the bingo question. He
stated that from present indica-
tions ''it is not practical to call a
special session since no other bills
are pending. Col. Slayer also ex-
pressed the opinion that instead
of legalized Singo, it would be bet
ter to ask for increased appropria-
tions to take care Of needs Of vol
unteer companies.
Ebert G. Bailey, secretary, read
a letter from the Ministerial Union
in Wilmington, which commended
the Sussex VIA for rejecting the
resolution calling for a special
session to legalize bingO and pledg-
ing support in obtaining funds by
other means of gambling.
There was a discussion on plans
for Fire Prevention Essays and
contests. Charles Marvel, of Sea-
ford, of the Fire Prevention Com
mittee, asked suggestions for bet

the ideas advanced was the exteD-

were also discussed for a County
Civil Defense Day to be held some
time next month were brought for
ward. 1t was pointed out that
whOlehearted cooperation of citi-
zens in the county will be necessary
to complete county set-up head
ed by a man to coordinate all local
civilian defense units in Sussex.
Col. Dutton pointed out to the
group that the Civil Defense Law
passed by the last session of the
Delaware Legislature requires such
set-up in each county. He quoted
Section 8, of the law which sets
forth (in part the following:
Each political subdivision of this
State is hereby authorized and d.
RECTED to establish a local or
ganizatiOn for civil defense in ac-
cOrdance with the State Civil De-
tense Plan and Program. (The term
political subdivision" shall be de-
fined to mean each town or city
and each county within the state.)
The foregoing section of the CD
law has not been generally known
by the citizens in the state, and in
many of the towns there has not
been a concentrated effort to COM
plete a CD set-up. Opinions ex-
pressed by many in this county in
dicate a lack of realization of the
necessity for CD set-ups. The pro-
posed plan for a Sussex Civilian
Defense Day is under considera-
tiOn for the purpose of acquainting
each local community with neces-
sary information and seeking CO.
operation from civic organizations,
veterans and citizens all over Sus-
sex County.
The consensus of opinion of the
group meeting was that once the
pepOle are faced with the facts and
necessity for no further delay, it
will be possible for formal set-up
to be made in the county.
Georgetown is one of the few
towns in the state which has a
complete Civilian Defense set-up
arranged according to specitica-
tions of the State and National CD.
1t is planned that tests oe made
in this area as soon as minor OBJ
stacles are cleared up. The schools
of the county were we'll organized
before the end of the school term
and the children instructed as 10
procedure in case of attack.
Further information will be dis
closed as the proposed plans are
worked out in Sussex.

Ccontinued from first page)

Swimming and Play Area, or 'Me-
mortal Park" as it will be known
after Friday, was begun in the
early spring of 1851 and continued
throughout last summer and the
early fall; this included clearing
approximately an acre of timber
land as well as a large area of lake
bottom, the replacing of sod with
beach sand, the construction and
repair of play equipment, and the
start of construction on a we'll
equipped bath house. Despite ex-
penditure of over $1,000 and sever
al thousand man-hours, the Coolies
found the task too difficult to ac-
complish in one season and COM
pletion of the project was post
pOned until 1852.
Work on the area was resumed
this spring with additional equip
ment and facilities being provided.
However, the biggest portion of
the entire project, completion of
the bath house, was not accom-
plished until this week, when the
Coolies and other volunteers cli-
NAKED long series of day and
night work sessions by finally get
ting the large and we'll equipped
cinder block bath house ready for
initial use Friday.
Visitors to the area on Friday
will be first greeted by the sight of
a gateway, bearing the legend "Me-
mortal Park" and a shrubbery-en-
closed memorial plot containing a
replica of Milford's War Memorial.
Immediately to the rear of the
memorial is a large bath house,
containing two spacious shower
rooms for use of children in chang
ing their clothes, and a concession
stand equipped TO supply the needs
OF those planning to swim or play.
Near the concession stand are stur-
dy, well constructed swings and
see-saws, and in front OF the stand
is a picnic grove equipped with
benches and tables and a hearth.
Between the grove and the lake
shore is a clean, partly-shaded ex-

play opportunities for the smaller
youngsters. The lake area ad-
iacent to the park offers excellent
wading and swimming for yOungs-
ters, and sliding board and newly
constructed pier are available to
add to their enjoyment.
Unlike many such recTeatiOnal
areas in other localities, no
charge is to be made for use of any
of the facilities at Memorial Park.
The project was conceived and car
ried out to completion by the vet
Grams and other volunteers, and it
is the desire of the sponsors, the
Milford Coolies, that the area shall
be used by all of the areas youngs-
ters. Water tests have proven that
Haven Lake is safe for bathing
throughout the summer months and
adult supervision will be available
during this period. Adults and chill
dren, alike, are invited to spend
a safe and sane Fourth of July at
MilfOrd's Memorial Park" and are
also invited to make use of the
parks facilities throughout the re-
mainder of the current season.

ENGELHARD BOY TELLS |
OF LIFE IN TRINIDAD |
Dalton Watson Serving With Navy
Finds Life Interesting and
Pleasant in Tropics

Donald Bayne Watson of Engel-
hard, who is serving with the navy
and is stationed in Trinidad, has
written a letter to his uncle Brax-
ton Watson of Engelhard telling
how interesting and pleasant it is
in that happy island in the Car
ribean. Mrs. Watson who is with
him, is the former Joyce O'Neal,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Leslie
O'Neal of New Holland.
"This is one of the most beauti-
full islands l have ever SEEM"
he says. FIFTY feet from my back
door the mountains climb straight
up in the sky. There is practically
every known fruit that grows all
around US. Bananas, Oranges,
grapefruit, lines, papayas, Man
goes, cocoanuts and many more.
Also we have fresh vegetables the
year around. The only thing hard
to get is fresh milk.
"From our front door we can
see the bay and the ocean beyond.
There is a great variety of edible
fish and plenty of them. Joyce
and l caught four red snappers
this afternoon MAY 18th. We go
fishing pretty often. Only have to
walk two blocks.
" The rainy season has started
now. 1t will rain for three months.
the days get pretty warm, but we
always have to sleep under
spread at night, so we get our rest.
1--WE have become acquainted
with a lot of people down here.
There are friends among Chinese,
Indian, English, French, American
and of course Trinidadian. There
are just about every nationality
! in the world here with English and
Indian Predominant. 1t is very in
teresting to learn their ways of
life, beliefs and so forth.
The largest industry in the is
land is oil: Next is the refining
of boxite. From this we make
aluminium and cast-steel. One
eighth of our supply in the U. S.
during World War II came from
Trinidad. Next is the export of
fruits and cocoanuts, and the husks
of cocoanuts and bark of the trees
to make copra.
Labor is cheap and the average
income is eight to ten dollars a
week, B. w. 1. which equals about
five dollars of our money. 1t is
remarkable how the people live
and support family on their pay.
We are allotted 800 laborers year
to go to the states for 12-week
iperiod during harvest. There are
thousands that apply for it."
Mr.. Watson is a brother of John
Watson of Engelhard, who is now
in Washington in Government en-
ploy. Their father was the late
Donald Watson of Engelhard.
