in the ranks from a private in a

ais, promotions, citations and GER
titicates of merit to Sc men and five

William Stanley Tawes after whom
this years encampment at Bethany
Beach has been named-the troops
marched in review.
Governor BOggs, flanked by about
a dozen generals and other high
ranking men in the military and
civilian life Of the state, was the
center of interest as 1900 Delaware
National Guardsmen and 500 Vir-
ginia Guardsmen marched by - in
close formation. their helmets re-
Splendent in the July sun and their
battalion banners and battery guild
Ons dipped in his honor.
Standing near Governor Boggs
was Mrs. Tawes, widow of the gal
liant Delaware soldier who gave his
life in the course of an artillery
duel on the Korean front-near a
place called Mad-Toy-in the fall
of 1851.
Given Service Cross
Mrs. Tawes received the Con
spicuOus Service Cross of the State
of Delaware from Governor Boggs
while the story of Lieutenant
Tawes' bravery in action was re-
told over the loud speaker-braverv
that ended in his death on the bat
tlefield.
The account was a very much
condensed version of the military
career of Lieutenant Tawes that
started a little more than 10 wears
ago when he was inducted in the

ceiving stolen goods as a result
of swift action by Milford city
police in solving a weekend robbery
at the ]. H. Humes & Sons hard
ware store on North Walnut street,
including recovery of the stolen
merchandise.
The chain of events started at
II o'clock last Sunday night when
two policemen in a prowl car no.
ticed three youths acting in a sus-
piciOus manner near the Humes
store: The officers halted the car
and as they alighted to question
the boys the latter broke into a run.
The officers gave chase with the
trail leading through a nearby lum-
Der yard to the banks of the Mis-
pilliOn river. Two of the boys
jumped into the river but did not
venture far from the river bank.
Apparently realizing they we're
trapped they offered no resistance
when the policemen dragged them
ashore. One of them had a rife
hidden in a pants leg.
The third youth had fed in the
excitement but was picked up a
short time later on the Lincoln
road. The trio was taken to police
headquarters for questioning. Auth
critics said they had forced entry
to the Humes store through a rear
window last Saturday night and
again last Sunday night.
