Banneker School News

Monday night, January 25th, Mr..
Davis, Mr.. Gibson and Mrs. Evans
took a group of girls to Dover
to see the basketball games be-
tween the William Henry High
School and LOckerman High School
of Denton, Md. The girls were
very thrilled and were able to
pick up some good points since
they are in the process of form
ing a team.
The doctors and nurses of the
State Department of Health were
at the school on Wednesday, jan
uary 9th to examine the pupils
of grades 1 and 2.
The first basketball game to be
held in the new building was
held with the Paul Lawrence Dun
bar School of Laurel on Thursday
night, January 2Sth. The boys
on the Banneker team are Orlando
Camp, Gordon Camp, James White,
Elton Farlow, Richard Weeks,
Thomas Harris, Richard Brewing
ton, Ronald Vann, Eugene Harris
and Frank Fountain.
The Banneker School will Part
icipate in the March of Dimes
Campaign again this year. Dimes
will be collected from the pupils
of this school on Thursday and
Friday, February 4th and 5th. Our
participation will be strictly on a
voluntary basis. No coercion
whatever will be used.

Milford Band Will
Give Valentine Concert

The Milford High School Band
is giving it's annual Valentine Con-
cert followed by a semi-formal
dance on February 18th at 500
p. m, in the High School Aud
itOrium. The dance will be held
in the cafeteria with the Milford
Dance Band providing the music.
The program will feature sew
eral popular selections, as we'll
as classical and novelty numbers.
Frank Reed, trOmbOnist, will be
the solOist for this program. The
band will be wearing their new
uniforms and will be under the
direction of John H. Bunnell. The
nominal admission price of SOC
will include both dance and con-
cert. The proceeds of last years
concert aided greatly toward the
purchase of the new uniforms.
The band still owes a balance to
complete payments for the suits.
1t is hoped that the attendance
at the concert will be sufficient
to cover the debt and to show
that the public of Milford is in
terested in the band program. A
very interesting and varied pro-
gram has been planned and all
who attend will truly enjoy it.

Urges State Site For
Air Force Academy

United States Senator ]. Allen
Frear has urged the Secretary Of
Air Force Harold E. Talbot to
consider a site in Delaware for the
location of the proposed Air Force
Academy.
Last week, the House of Repre-
sentatives approved the construc-
ton Of such a school. which will
give the Air Force an installation
similar to the United States Military
Academy at West Point and the
Naval Academy at Annapolis. Senate
consideration of the legislation is
slated later in the session.
In his letter to Secretary Talbot
today, Senator Frear said that Della
ware, by reason Of it's strategic To-
cation, accessibility, and favorable
climate would be an ideal location
for this newest Service School
which will train professional Air
Force officers.
Mr.. Frear said he assumed the
Air Force will designate a COM
mittee of its experts to choose a
desirable site; and in this connec-
ton, the Senator expressed interest
in making arrangements for the
committee to meet with a repre-
sentative group from Delaware to
review locations in the State at the
appropriate time.

sTREETcAR SALE CANCELLED

CAIRO-(P)-An Egyptian landed
in Jail for selling a streetcar to a
Nile valley country boy visiting
Cairo. The vilager paid 1898 and

picked their pockets. Now he won't
be free till 2055.

appreciate the thought, talent and energy
expended in our behalf by the long line of
honest and efficient governors who have
occupied the exalted position in the past
years. Money does not repay, nor honor
compensate those who have occupied this

and esteemed. To that end Governor Bat
