appropriations are still coming into
the State Board Of Education and
viii have to be analyzed by the
board before inclusion in the re-
quest to the State Legislature.
But even if they are held to a
minimum, the overall figures will
come close to S85, O.OO0, 900, It
was estimated by some school off,
cials.
Rural New Castle County will
bear the brunt of the forthcoming
heavy secondary school enroll
ments, it is figured. For a short
period Of time the needs on the
elementary and secondary school
levels viii be about equal but then
the high school requirements will
become more acute than those Of
the lower grades.
During the present bienniun, the
school districts Of the state are
constructing in excess Of $17O00,-
600 worth of new buildings. But
as fast as they are built, the class
rooms begin bursting at the
seams, with increased student
loads, Il was pointed out.
Alex Taylor, Jr., engineer Of the
Delaware School Auxiliary, said
that rural New Castle County will
find itself in the most serious posi-
ton Of any other section Of the
state as far as new school needs
are concerned.
Running down the list of some
Of the individual districts requests,
he listed: Wilmington, $1,000, 900
Mr.. Pleasant, $3.250,000; Newark
S1,00O,000; Alfred I. dupont, S.
100000; hillside, about $1,000, OO0
and Marshallton, $2,0OO,000. This
total alone runs close to $50, 900, 600
it was pointed out.

Veteran Teacher Retires
At the last meeting Of the Eel
ton Board Of School Trustees no
tice was received from Mrs. Vir-
ginia G. Morrow Of her intention
to retire as teacher of the sixth
grade for reasons Of health. The
board accepted the notice with
deep regret and has expressed to
Mrs. Morrow the gratitude of the
people of this community for the
splendid service she has rendered
since she came to FELTON, 25 years
ago. Mrs. Morrow has taught in all
three counties in Delaware to-
tai of more than 46 years.
Her first position was at the one
room school at Jumps. Her record
ranks among the first, if not first,
in years of service in Delaware
schools exceeding the record made
by Mrs. Maude Reynolds who re-
tired last June after 43 years of
service in Delaware schools. Mrs.
Reynolds, however, taught for Al
years in FELTON,. To hundreds of
former pupils and parents, Mrs.

To celebrate the victory, young
sters Of Berks County, gathered at
a traditional meeting place on a
mountain to push "the Rocking

The tradition was that the stone
would make strange sounds like a

the stone following victories in the
Mexican and Civil Wars.
However. the youngsters we're a

boulder rocked over into the valley
