were two Maryland State Troopers
and one State Trooper from Va.
The towns on the Delmarva Penin-
sula cOoDerated by sending MEM
bers of Town Police Forces. The
towns sending men and the number
included DagsbOrO-1 Milford-2;
Seaford-2; Dover-2; Laurel-2;
Selbyville-1; RehObOth Beach,;
Milton-1; and Ocean City-5, all
adding up to a total of 46 troopers
and town officers.
In addition to police on duty there
we're 54 National Guardsmen from
Headquarters Battery 945th Anti
Aircraft Artillery Battalion, under
the command of 1t w. Layton John
son. The guardsmen also had four
Jeeps equipped with twO-way
radio communication using in all
8 ANGRC radios.
The guardsmen were divided into
three groups, one each for the three
divisions of the parade. The groups
were commanded by Sgt. William
Mulder, Sgt. First Glass Richard
James and Sgt Horace Workman.
They were charged with directing
parade units to proper stations and
unsnarling tie-ups to keep the six
mile long parade moving.
From the standpoint Of safety, it
is believed a record was established
during the three day Festival. Red
Cross First Aid Stations were set
up at various vantage points, all
equipped with telephone service
and manned by competent Red
Cross personnel, in readiness for
any accidents. The only casualty of
the entire Festival was Mrs. Pearl
PoulsOn, of ElktOn, Md. who was
slightly burned on her right arm,
while frying chicken in the Senior
Cooking Contest. The burn was
treated at the First Aid Station To-
Gated in the Georgetown High
School and Mrs. POulsOn continued
preparing her dish for the contest.
The First Aid Units we're under the
supervision of Harold F. Wilson,
Chairman of Red Cross First Aid
Units in Sussex and Mrs. Nell r.
Barr, Red Cross Field Represent
ative for Sussex.

through a big beech log lost all its
teeth when it had hit a woodsman's

SKY DIAMONDS

SCHENECTADY, N. Y.-(P)-
Sky scanners who report diamonds
in the sky may be given a perfect
ly sober description of what a
soaring rocket does to the air
waves. Tests of rocket motors made
for the Army Ordnance Corps show
that a long string of diamond pat
terms appears inside each rocket
flame.
Scientists explain that the pat
terms result when shock waves are
produced by the collision of the
not gases with the surrounding at
mOsphere.
