In history, since the coming of
early settlers to the New World,
the rich, green and beautiful
valley is almost as old as the
Tidewater regions that first saw
the sails of colonists' ships. It
is also a region of natural won

The dog puzzle gets the goat of
some who are at a loss to keep
them pets from being put into a
cage. Some have sent their dogs
away while others find it safer to
keep them chained in the cellar.
One man who was unwise sent his
dog to his brother in Greensboro,
Nd, but soon got word that a dog
catcher had picked up his pet in
that town. So the mystery of
keeping dog and safe from being
grabbed is as deep as ever.

the meek inherit the earth before
they become unmeek and set upon
fighting one another for control
of it.
Scenes of human drama are

visit to the ones he longed to see
again. But, alas, upon reaching
this town he found that both his
sister and brother had died and
consequently there was no place to
stay. His deep sorrow was shared
by others who knew the unusual
circumstances. He said the last
time that he heard from them,
they both were well and getting
along fine.

Governor Boggs, in learning of

He said tina it showed a healthy
attitude when so many people

little to dispute over the outcome.

STATE TO GET
VOTE AWARD
Delaware To Receive Top
Award for Greatest Vote
in Region
THIRD IN NATION

Governor ]. Caleb Boggs has
been notified that Delaware will re-
ceive the top award in the South
Atlantic Region for having turned
out the greatest number of adults
to the polls last November. The
award comes from the American
Heritage Foundation, with head
quarters in New York City. 1t
was this Foundation that sponsor
ed the Freedom Train several years
ago and was instrumental in stag
ing the greatest get-out-the vote
campaign in the nations history in
1852. In a letter from c. M. Van
deburg, executive director, Cover
nor Boggs was told that "after
examining the reports and docu-
mentary evidence submitted by
more than $4,000 entries, the Foun-
dation's awards committee, under
the Craftsmanship of Charles E.
Wilson, formerly president of the
General Electric Company, unani-
mously decided that among the
states of the South Atlantic re-
gion, Delaware was the winner"
Vandeburg told Governor Boggs
that in recognition of this out
standing achievement in behalf of
better citizenship the Foundation
will forward to Delaware mas
terpiece of Americana by the cele-
brated illumination, Arthur Szyk.
The award was especially designed
and pproduced for the State of
Delaware by the Lithographers
National Association.
Missed Top by 5-10 of Point
According to Vandeburg's report
Delaware missed the top spot in
the nation by only five-tenths of
point. Utah headed the list of
states with 1916 percent of its elig-
ible voters having turned out to
the polls. In second place was
North Dakota with 1913 and Della
ware was third with 79.1 percent.
The American Heritage Founda-
tion pointed out that in 1948 Del
aware was in tenth place in the
percentage of adults voting, having
achieved only 65.5 percent of its
total strength at that time. The
1852 election showed an overall
gain of 1876 percent for the state.
Neighboring Maryland had the
highest percentage of increase, with
17.7 percent, but managed to get
only SIS percent of its voters to
the polls in 1852, standing in 36tn
place in the nation. In 1948 Mary
land finished 37th and had only
1913 percent of it's voters at the
polls in that election. The Foun-
dation pointed out that the nation
al average for the 1852 election
stood at an all-time high of 20
percent. Total registrations, ac-
cording to a New York Times esti-
mate were 74,810,561. Of that
number 61,547,86 actually cast
ballots. The adult population at
the time, those people over 21
years of age, stood at 100,877, 900,
the Foundation declared.
13,166,OOO Persons Disenfranchised
However, ,13, ,166, 900 persons were
disenfranchised. Those losing their
