STATE GETS
NEW PLANT
Button Manufacture to Build
and Operate Plant in
Georgetown
NEW YORK FIRM

a manufacturer of mother-of-
pearl buttons for shirts and
sportswear will build and operate
a plant IN Georgetown, it was an
nounced today by the Delaware
State Development Department.
According to Col. c. B. Shaffer,
Development Department indus
trial division chief, the new firm
is the Peter Doubrava and Son
Company of New York City. The
new plant is expected to be in
operation by November l. 1t will
bring an annual payroll of S228,
900 to the area, according to pre-
sent estimates. Shaffer said the
firm chose a 10 acre tract in the
northeast area of Georgetown
after a two-week survey of East
ern Shore facilities. Mr.. Doubrava
liked Georgetown because of its
central location and its proximity
to the button blank professors
which are scattered throughout
lower Delaware and the adjoining
Maryland area.
Building Contract Awarded
The firm is expected to employ
one hundred people when it be-
gins operations approximately rs
women and 25 men. Local work
ers will be used according to the
announcement and the community
is able to supply them. Mean
while the Doubrava firm expects
to lease building temporarily in
which to assemble their machin-
cry so that when the new plant is
ready for occupancy there will be
no loss of time in beginning
operations. A contract for a 12,-
900 square foot building was
awarded to the John L. Briggs
Company, Georgetown, and work
was begun on Monday of this
week. Raymond Masten and
James Jackson of the Masten
Trucking Company and James E.
Goslee, Jr, Georgetown Chamber
of Commerce, worked with the
Development Department in To-
eating the new firm. The build
ing and grounds will represent an
investment of S55,0OO.
First Located in New York
The Doubrava Company has
been in operation since 1919 when
the firm located in New York.
The partnership comprises Peter
Doubrava and Charles Doubrava,
father and son combination.
According to Col. Shaffer the
factories who manufacture button
blanks in lower Delaware take
the natural mother of pear shell
from which buttons are made
cut and drill them as the first
process. Most of the button
blanks in this area have been
shipped to the Doubrava firm in
New York City for the past
twenty years. The complete op.

son with a crowd of $4,000 expect

$3.50 900, mostly going to charity.
The collegians have a fair
chance to get their seventh victory

first rate passers and because the
Lions will be handicapped by the

Lions, however, remain one touch

Jim Tatum of Maryland, coach

last fall, will probably start Zeke
Bratkowski at quarterback for the

The Lions, champions of the Ma
tional Football League, have
great passer in Bobby Layne, but
coach Buddy Parker may save him
for the regular season and depend
on Tom Dublinski. Furthermore,
the Lions must use their men on

Coach Parker faced up to the
problem of creating an all-around,

The New York Giants may find
out tonight whether luck is still on
their side.
They invade Brooklyn for three
games with the second place Dod-
gers and the way both teams have
been playing, luck will 60 a long
way in determining the outcome.
Neither New York nor Brooklyn
has been a ball of fire in recent
weeks. They've stayed IL in the
National League pennant chase
mainly by default.
Now the Milwaukee Braves are
creeping up. Many more mistakes
by either of the first two clubs
could prove fatal.
So far the Giants have held most
Of the trumps in their shOwdowns
with their metropolitan rivals.
They've won 9 of the Is games
and lead the Dodgers by 31a
lengths. Six of the remaining nine
games will be played in Brooklyn,
three in the last week Of the sea-
son.
Fans have been ganging up on
the Brooklyn box office but the
managers remain strangely silent.
Neither Leo Durocher nor Walt
Aston has gone so far az to pre-
diet a sweep.
Durocher even has been heSitant
In picking a pitcher. For two sea-
sons SSl Maglie has been the auto

tonight.
The clubs should be rested. They
both had the day off yesterday.
Milwaukee took advantage of their
idleness and moved within 619
games Of the top and within three
games of Brooklyn by beating st.

The New York Yankees picked
up half a game on Cleveland by
winning doubleheader from the
Philadelphia Athletics 5-4 and IL.
But the Indians trounced Detroit
10-1 and still lead by 2l4 games.
Boston and Washington split. The
Senator'S won the first game S-5
but were Shutout by Frank Sullivan
in the second so. Baltimore and
Chicago weren't scheduled.
Philadelphia made the Yanks
work for the first game, coming
from behind twice to tie before
Mickey Mantle decided matters in
the eighth with his 25th home run.
Four runs in the first inning, in
cluding a lead off homer by Hank
Bauer, sewed up the nightcap in
a hurry.
The Indians pounded three De-
troit pitchers for Is hits including
AL Rosen'S three-run homer, his
first into the seats this month. Ro-
sen, deep in a slump, has hit safe
ly only three times in his last "A
