against all enemies, Gov. Boggs
declared, and while there are con-
fiicting ideologies and mutual in
ternational distrusts there is a
continuing threat to our nation
and to each citizen. Gov. Boggs
also pointed out that the First Air
Reserve District, located in Harris
burg, Pa, has been designated as
the unit responsible for the train
ing of Air Reservists in the State
of Delaware. This consolidation
and enlargement of the First Dis
trict area was an economy move
on the part of the Air Force.
Heretofore Delaware Air Re-
servists were directly under First
Air Force Headquarters at Mitchell
Air Force Base, New York. Some
of this personnel has now been re-
leased from duty at that base.
The full proclamation follows:
WHEREAS, conflicting ideol-
ogies and mutual international dis
trusts present a continuing threat
to our nation and to each citizen;
and
WHEREAS, the people of the
United States must rely on their
Reserve Forces in time of national
emergency to defend them against
the enemies of our nation; and
WHEREAS, the United States
Air Forces Reserve is vital and
necessary part of the defense of
this country; and
WHEREAS, the First Air Re-
serve District has been delegated
as the command control unit of all
Air Force Reservists in the State
of Delaware and has been given
the responsibility of training Air
Reservists in the State of Della

pests. A major menace to all
trees is the ruthless boring insect,
often the Public Eenefy No. of
the insect world. Borers have a
special liking for weak and ailing
trees. An ounce of prevention
borers, says Martin L. Davey, Jr.,
head of the Davey tree experts, is
worth incalculable pounds of cure.
The borer often can be discouraged
by keeping trees in high vitality or
by restoring them to high vitality
as quickly as possible. Primarily,
this calls for proper feeding, wat
ering and other care needed to pro-
mote better arboreal health. Dur
ing these hot days, feeding is one
of the most essential procedures.

according to President Conley, will
honor the tens of thousands of
Eastern Shore harness fans from
the Diamond State, as well as the
great array of Delaware driving
stars who will compete at Ocean

Jack; Pat Hubbard, Olin Davis and
Henry Clukey, leading driver at

Expect New Attendance Record
Last year Ocean Downs enjoy
ed the most successful meet in its
history with attendance up IA and
wagering up 7.S percent over 1851.
The total mutuel handle was ST.

to be surpassed this year, with
thousands of new vacationers TAX

Summer months. Researchers have
shown that special tree food high
in nitrogen content helps trees re-
sist the effects of water scarcity.
Drought weakened trees are the
favorite sanctuaries of many bor-
ers. They burrow their way in
side trunks and limbs where they
can't be reached by poison sprays
and other dislodging attempts.
Like any fifth columnist, the in
sect bores from within. Keeping
it out in the first place is the pre-
ventive. And keeping trees healthy
solves much of the borer threat.
