Firemen Called EurIy

Oakland firemen were called
Wednesday morning at o'clock
to put out fire in the Broadford
section and when they arrived, they
discovered it to be school bus
station.
The call had come from farm
woman of that area who had seen
the flames when she arose but was
uncertain as to its exact location
and did not know whether it was
barn or house. 1t was not de-
ermined what had caused the fire.

Dial Phones In
Bittinger Area
Now In Service
Eiehty-Five Subscribers Con-
nected This Morning At
Nine O'Clock

Eighty-five families were added
to the c. and P. Telephone compa-
NY lines this morning at 9 o'clock
when the Bittinger area was con-
nected in special ceremonies, at
the new dial telephone exchange
there. Practically all telephone
service in the county is now dial
operated.
Everything has been in readi-
ness for a week, and officials have
been engaged in making last min
ute testings so there would be no
hitch in the proceedings.
There was no hitch and it didn't
take long. Rev. |. X. Metzler gave
an invocation and central office
man, Carson Miller, placed some
heat coils in the lines in the office
which completed connections be-
tween the outside and the inside
and that's all there was to it.
To make that ceremony possible,
however, there was much prclimi-
nary work done over the past year
or more. Last year the exchange
building was completed and this
past May workmen began erecting
900 poles and stringing miles of
wire. Over 100000 was expended
in the process of taking over the
old Bittingcr Mutual Telephone
company.
After Mr.. Miller had placed II
pairs of coils into the lines that
completed the connections, Nelson
Orendorf, former president of the
Bittinger Mutual company, placed
a call to w. G. Morrel, vice-presi-
dent of the company in Baltimore.
Morrel welcomed the Bittinger sub
scribers into the service of the
company.
J. B. Emory, of Bittinger, then
placed a call to Milton Miller at
Grantsville. Grantsville calls may
be made from Bittinger without
toll charges.
After the telephoning was COM
pleted, c. Walter Haschert, Cum
berland area manager, had few
brief remarks for the assembled
group and Rev. James NJ. Allan
pronounced the benediction.
Scheduled to attend the cere-
monies this morning were State
Senator Neil c. Fraley, Delegates
George f. Coddington, Arthur H
Green, Harry c. Edwards; County
Commissioners j. Edward Helbig
Jonas w. Sines and Stewart F
Stahl; Mrs. Agnes Brenneman, sec
rotary of the former Bittingel
Mutual; w. E. Bucket, former vice
president; |. o. waste, Marvin Cal
lis, Marvin Bethel, and the follow
ing telephone company officials:
F. w. Carey, Baltimore; T. w
Dwyer, William Schuler, Hagers-
town; C. w. Haschert and William
Keller, Cumberland.
Toll rates from Oakland to the
Bittinger area will be 20 cents
even though the exchange will be
through Cumberland. Those from
Bittinger desiring to call Oakland
will dial the operator at Cumber.
land.
Richard K. Dayton, local man
ager, said the company already
had received a number of petitions
for service and asking that the
lines be extended.
The new telephone books con-
tain the numbers of the Bittingel
area subscribers. The numbers be.
gin with CHI, first two letters OF
chestnut, with 5 being the first
dial number.

MONROE, La, Oct. 15.-A
second hearing was scheduled
today for 10-year -old Joe Cooper,
who was sent to a delinquent
boys home after he pointed a
loaded shotgun at school off,
cials to save his dog.
Letters and phone calls from
throughout the Nation have pro-
tested the speed with which
Judge Howell Heard committed
the boy on october 6. At the
request of Joe's married sister.
Judge Heard set the new hearing
for 4 pm.
One family in Dallas, Tex.
offered adoption and a college
education to the boy. son of
widow whose monthly income
repeatedly is a $55 State assist
ance check.
Joe had aimed the shotgun at
his principal and truant officer.
"Guess I Was Excited"
II guess I was excited" because
they were going to give the dog
to the dogcatcher." he said later.
ME and my boy friend went
to school and when we got there
my dog Tippie was running
around the playground. Then
these two little girls came over
and told me somebody was going
to give my dog to the dog
catcher"
The dog was locked up at the
school by local officials because
it was untagged and unvacci-
mated. The boy demanded that
the principal, Mrs. Tiny Clark,
unlock the dog, but she refused.
"Then I went home again and
got the gun," Joe continued.
The boy pointed the gun at
Mrs. Clark and M. c. Griggs,
truant officer. Police were called
and the boy was taken to Judge
Heard.
Committed 4 Hours Later.
Four and one-half hours later,
Joe was put in the Louisiana
Training Institute here.
Judge Heard explained the
boy was sent to the institute be-
cause he possibly was danger

There was no father home.
We have no detention home," the
judge added. II had no other

place to put him. It vas done
for his benefit"
He also pointed out that the
mother had agreed to a hearing
on the same day as the incident.
But protests mounted.
Mr.. and Mrs. Glenn M. Har-
grave of Dallas, who promised
adoption and a college educa-
ton. telegraphed:
"We admire spirit. His fight
ing spirit made our country great
and his loyalty to his pet in

After Joe was sent to the de-
linquent boys home. Tippie was

to be killed." the principal said.
That's not right. The dog
catcher carries the log to the
home if he knows who the owner
is.

TWAS tooling our jalopy over what
they untruthfully call road in the
northern Michigan woods, little wor-
ried about leaving my sister Mary alone
in the cottage. You know, Mary isn't
very bright.
True, she's much prettier than I am,

are what you'd call luscious, and her

The car dragged its boiling radiator

lake by our cottage. loaded my arms
with groceries and staggered up the
steps to the porch When tottered into
the living room my sister Mary was
sitting in the wicker rocker. She had
on bathing suit with some front, but
little back, and daisies tucked in her
red hair; she looked very girliSh and
cute. Her brown eyes were turned to-
ward me worriedly.
Suddenly saw the young men stand

''Well, Mary! Surely one of your gentle
men friends could help me with the par

For a moment l had a wild notion

Pete gave me shove back into the
living room. ''They won't touch us If
we threaten to shoot these DANES"
Bud shook his head. 'Get into the
bathroom and pump some water into
the tub. Hurry up" He waved his gun
at me. ''You-come here"
We all listened for a second or two
as the hand pump in the bathroom
started to squeak and wheeze, and
water began gushing into the tub. Bud
swung me around to face Mary and
prodded me with his gun. Look, baby,
you want me to kill your sister,"
Mary shook her head dumbly.
THEN LISTEN to me, baby. You're

received the new regulations gov
erning the use Of motor vehicles.
They prohibit freshmen (Other
than commuter students) from
storing, maintaining or operating
a motor vehicle in Newark while
in attendance at the University dur
ing 1954-55.
Further, the new regulations re-
quiFe that all upperclassmen who
operate motor vehicles in Newark
register these vehicles. Parking in
University parking areas during
daytime hours will be limited to
cars owned and operated by com
muter students, by faculty, staff,
personnel, and campus visitors.
Because On-street parking in
Newark, especially on streets near
the campus. is at a premium, we
urge upperclass students not to
bring cars to Newark unless they
are able to make arrangements for
storing their cars.
It is difficult to make young
people who heretofore have en-
jOyed the luxury of an automobile
understand the necessity for this
move by the University. Your under

Review Of Three University Policies
It is appropriate at this time to
review three University policies
which were discussed in my letter
Of September, 1858.
(1) In the interest Of the health
and Well-being Of our students (as
we'll as our citizen neighbOFs in
NeWark), and for the protection
Of property, the University a year
ago found it necessary to take
firm stand on the ''irecracker prob
lem" We announced that any stu
dent found guilty of possessing
or exploding fireworks in university
buildings or on the campus would

be subject to expulsion from the
University.
am pleased to report almost
complete cooperation from students
in observing the fireworks ban"
Parents were Of great help to us
BY impressing upon their sons and
daughters their responsibility to
live within established university
rules. Again, the university seeks
the same assistance from you.
90 By regulation Of the Trustees
and the Faculty, the possession or
consumption of intoxicating beVer-
ages on the campus or in university
buildings, including dormitOries and
fraternity houses both on and of
the campus, is prohibited. Students
are held individually responsible
for compliance with this regula-
tion. Under this rule, university
organizations are not permitted to
serve intoxicating beverages at
social functions held of the campus.
We make no effort 70 control the
off-campus purchase and cOnsump-
tAOA "a AAAuOAn ug 6bu0Gul8 WHO are
qualified under the law to make
such purchases. However, we re-
gard any disOrderly conduct, de-
struction Of or damage to property,
or other conduct tending to reflect
discredit upon the University on the
part Of our students resulting from
misuse Of alcohol as Warranting
strict disciplinary action.

is a place for study and academic
achievement. The majority Of our
students study hard and do well.

per cent of our students are
dropped from the rolls because
Of unsatisfactory academic progress.

and the lack of a true desire for

life. There is not only a dis
appointment to the family, but also
financial loss. Many Of our stu

and the desirability of using the
opportunities offered students for
consultation with their instructors,
faculty, advisers, school Of deans,
and cOunseling personnel in the
Office of the Dean Of Students.
We do not expect all to make the
Deans List" as honor students.
Parents should not insist upon
achievement beyond the capabiIi-
ties of their student. While the
university insists upon a minimum
standard of accomplishment if the
student is to continue in college.
it is well to remember that grades
alone do not give the total index of
what the student gains from higher
eA4NNeANA0AAs AAEA al 2 AAAeAAAy uUUOE~
tunities for social and cultural
growth and development as persons,
as well as intellectual growth. Stu
dents can gain much culturally by
attending the concerts included in
the University's Artist Series, the
lectures offered by the Visiting
Scholar Program, the art exhibits,
and the dramatic productions En-
courage them to do so.
There is so much that you as
parents can do to ensure that your
sons and daughters get the most
from their university experience.
But 1t is not just their precious
time and your money which is at
stake. Every aspect of our univer-
sity undertaking is heavily sub
sidized by the State of Delaware
and by generous gifts Our facilities
do not permit us to admit all who
would like to attend this Univer-
sity.
