while | was talkin wild 'em some
body ups and axes the tantalizing

been just as we'll put by asking
Who is a baseball fan? and
right off | figured it didn't take
take no Doctor of Philosophy to
answer, that kinda question, and be-
fore l quit figuring it out some
body ups and answering says
a baseball fan is anybody who loves
baseball and pays to go in the
park to see a baseball game

SAFETY EDUCATION PROGRAM
STRESSES DUTY OF PARENTS

With the approach of the open
ing of schools in Smyrna thought
is being given by the town police
department to the hazards faced
by motorists and children, and an
educational program will be spon-
sored calling attention to the re-
sponsibility of parents and motor
lists in this matter. A series of
articles will appear weekly in The
Smyrna Times on an inside page
of the paper, written by a different
person each week. This weeks
article is by Town Manager S. c..
Marvel. Chief of Police John w.
Jacobs, Jr., stresses the response
bility of parents to teach the chill
dren the proper procedures, to
watch for traffic and to cross only
at the crossings. This calls for
constant reminders by parents, so
that the children will become con.
scious of their duty for their own
protection. The police ask also the
cooperation of motorists, especially
that they be more careful during
three intervals during the day;
between $40 and $40 am; 11:30
and 1890 PM; and 3:15 and 4:15
Smyrna times., 1953-08-27

pm. 1t is impossible for the po-
lice to be everywhere at one time,
and drivers are reminded that
every child on the street should be
warning to exercise care at all
times. Everyone knows that the
speed limit is 25 miles, but under
certain conditions even this speed
is too fast, according to the police.
Motorists are asked to keep their
cars mechanically in order at all
times; and to use their brakes, and
not their borns. With the opening
of the new elementary school there
will be additional intersections
where it will be necessary to watch
out for children. The whole prob
lem of safety for children on our
streets must be faced seriously by
drivers, parents, and the children
themselves. Better be late for
lunch, than crippled child" Chief
Jacobs said in an interview at
which he outlined plans for the ed
ucational program which will be
continued. The articles by inter-
ested citizens will express their
ideas in an effort to bring this
problem home to the public.

GIRL SCOUTS
NEED LEADERS
Local Chairman Issues Urgent
Appeal for Volunteers to
Help Movement
MAY LOSE TROOP

Mrs. James Merrill, neighbor-
hood &c" chairman for the Smyr-
na-Clayton area Girl Scouts, issues
an urgent appeal for volunteers to
help with the movement locally,
According to Mrs. Merrill there is
a need at present for four leaders,
and there is the possibility of the
loss of whole troop if this leader
ship from the community is not
Forthcoming. 1t is pointed out
that parents of the scouts can be
of great help, if not as leaders, as
helping part-time as assistants.
The offer from any parents willing
to help will be greatly appreciated.
Leaders must be twenty-one years
of age or over, and assistant lead
ers eighteen years, or over. Vol
unteers are needed for Day Camp
for next season and they must
have previous training. Each
neighborhood should have a. sort
of stockpile of eligible people who
have special interests, such as bird
lore, handcrafts, music, art, astron-
omy, weather conditions, or any
other similar interests. Such per-
sons could assist the Girl Scout
program immeasurably by offering
to give of their knowledge, or of
their hobbies, to help the young
scouts with achieving the various
badges. Mrs. Merrill suggests that
nothing is more rewarding than
working with young people, and q
certain sense of achievement be-
longs to those who give of their
time to guide young people into q
more efficient and satisfying way
of life. Through the Girl Scout
movement this is possible, and the
help of many is needed here ir
Smyrna and Clayton so that young
girls may not be deprived of the
rich privileges that are theirs by
belonging to scouting. Anyone who
wishes to volunteer for any help
mo matter how small it may be, is
asked to call either Mrs. Thomas
W. Russell, volunteer. trainer

Merrill, phone Smyrna 1921.

Out TB
It's Your Duty !!

The organization of the volun-
teers who will work on the coming
Chest X-Ray Survey in this area
is complete, and now it is up to
you-the PUBLIC - to do your
part by having your chest x-Ray
made when the units are here.
They will appear in Smyrna on
Wednesday, Sept. 9, Thursday,
Sept. 10, and Friday, Sept. IL be-
tween the hours of 10 am. and 6
pm. On Saturday, Sept. IL, the
hours will be from 1 pm. to 9 pm.
Locations in Smyrna
The locations in Smyrna will be
at the Post Office, Boyles' Store,
and the Acme Market. Units will
also appear at Latex, Belber,
Wheatley's, Wilson'S, the Negro
School, Smyrna School, and the
State Welfare Home. Locations
are planned at Clifton's, Kentor,
Scarborough, Cheswold; Clements,
Clayton; Fire Hall, Leipsic; Lord
property, Woodland Beach. The
watchword of the survey is: mo
home is safe from tuberculosis un-
til all homes are safe" 1t is point
ed out that the elderly should not
consider it unnecessary for them to
be X-Rayed. 1t is possible for
grandparents not to know they
have TB and still give it to their
grandchildren. Play safe by hav-
ing the Chest X-Ray made. A per-
son may have TB without even
knowing it or without feeling sick.
x-Ray is one method of finding TB
early. "The medical profession of
Delaware as an agency, private
physicians, and the public health
personnel of the state are stand
ing by, ready with their knowledge
of how to fight tuberculosis" 1t is
up to you. 1t is better to know,
now than later when it may be too
late.
