A French speciality takes top
billing on tonight's menu at the
Italian Embassy in honor OF
1taly's Prime Minister and ST.
gnora Scelba.
The hosts-newly arrived Ital-
ian Ambassador and Signora
Brosio-are serving "tornedeau'
CFrench- styled beefsteak) to
their visiting countrymen.
AS is customary, the White
House refused to say what was
served to the ScelbaS yesterday,
when President and Mrs. Eisen-
hover entertained for them at
luncheon.
Not cherry blossoms, but pink
roses and snapdragons set the
spring theme in the State Din
ing Room.
Guests from the official 1tal-
ian party were Italian Minister
of Foreign Affairs and Signora
MARITIME, Chief of the Minister'S
Cabinet Bartolomeo Migone; Di-

far from the host that pair of
binoculars would have stood
some Of us in good stead. When
the Secretary, the Prime Minis
ter and the Italian Foreign Min
lister MARITIME took turns rising
at the end of dinner to say a few
well chosen words, it was all we
could do to catch every third
phrase. They were two-thirds off
the record, you might say.
In welcoming his guests, Secre-
tary Dulles was heard to say
that he could report a new tie
between our two countries.

meeting of new arrangements for

just before coming here) showed
me a letter from a professor in
Rome who said you probably
don't know it but Secretary Dull

uncle who lives in Milan" The
uncle was a fraud but he never
wanted to expose it, continued
Mr.. Dulles, because he was proud
of being adopted by the Italian
nation:
He praised Italy's fight
against communism and its
ratification of the Western
European Union. Signor Scelba' S

interpreter. He doesn't speak a
word of English and Mr.. Dulles
doesn't speak a word of Italian.
People wondered whether they
were indulging in lip reading
or picture drawing when they
had their heads together
throughout dinner without bene-
f1t of an interpreter. Mr.. Dulles
explained it afterwards. They
were speaking French with
American and Italian accents.
The Secretary said he was more
fluent in the days when he
attended the Sorbonne in Paris.
What is the primary purpose
of the Prime Minister'S visit
friendship building or economic
support for their 10 year de-
velopment plan? 1--WE haven't
gotten that far" smiled Mr..
Dulles.
CLARE STEALS SPOTLIGHT
Impressive a man as Mario
Scelba is with his courageous
record of opposition to fascism
and Communism. as usual Clare
Luce stole much of the spot
light. She looked beautiful and
demure in an Italian gown (she

designer of white marquisette

lace yoke. With it she wore a
gold. and diamond choker and
drop earrings.
President of the World Bank
Eugene Black made place for
himself at the table beside her.
and after dinner, when all other
guests were having coffee in the
corridor, Ambassador Luce, Mr..
Black and Assistant Secretary
of State Waugh remained in the
dining room.
"I've been working" said Glare
when she emerged half an hour
later. Did she get a loan for
Italy? We were in agreement,
is as much as she would say.
One of the Italian delegation
said the Italian people still find
it difficult to accept a woman
as an ambassador che was a
man, of course). but they will
probably end up loving her, he
said. Another member of the
delegation "a man, Of course)

If Signora Scelba, wife of
Italy's visiting Prime Minister,
and Mrs. Homer Ferguson. wife
of the newly appointed United
States envoy to the Philippines,
had had a chance to compare
notes yesterday, no telling which
one would have walked off with
the dubious honor of having the
busiest party calendar in town.
Both women and their distin-
guished husbands attended the
White House luncheon given yes
terday by President and Mrs.
Eisenhower to honor Signor
Scelba.

From 1900 Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. Mrs. Ferguson headed for
Dumbarton House where Mrs.
James Duff staged a farewell tea
in her honor.
Promptly at 8 pm. the Fer
gusons held down the honoree's
spotlight at the 1925 F Street
Club. Hosts at this farewell
were Secretary of Defense and
Mrs. Wilson and Postmaster
General and Mrs. Summerfield.
Before Ambassador and Mrs.
Ferguson take off tomorrow noon
en- route to their new post,
there's one more party for them
tonight-a reception at the Phil
ippine Embassy.
If I live through these next
few days." leases Mrs. Ferguson,
I'll be able to take anything
even a hurricane"
Also during these next few
days Signora Scelba who accom-
panied her husband to Washing
ton. faces a party-packed official
schedule.
CABINET PARTY
Dinnertime conversation at the
cabinet party. last evening, was
set at four separate tables-with
one of the fom partygivers sit
ting at each table.
Another reason for the in
formal air might have been that
both pairs of hosts, the Wilson's
and the Summerfields, as we'll
as the Fergusons. hail from the
State of Michigan.

EAGLES VIEW UNDEFEATED SEASON
Eagles TrOunce
LeWeS 400 For
Seventh Win;
StreakS Alive

The Smyrna High School Eagles
extended two streaks at Lewes
last Friday night as they wallop-
ed the hometown Pirates by a
400 final score. This marked the
seventh Eagle victory in as many
games, record accomplishment
for a Smyrna team on the grid
iron. Also, the defensive SQUAD
recorded the sixth consecutive
game in which the opposing team
has not scored; in all, their op-
ponents have Tailed only 19
points, an incredible average of
not quite two points per game.
The 40 points, second high for the
season behind the 48 against
Middletown, increases the total
thus far to 1853, an average of al
most % points per game. Friday
nights barrage was led by full
back Dave Reedy, who ran two
touchdowns and two extra points.
Runner-up was Ronnie Mccoy
with just the two tbs; Dale
Reedy carried for one. Rounding
out the Eagle scoring, Dave Dea-
kyne snagged a touchdown pass
from Ben Solloway and converted
twice by kicking. However, the
finest and longest Smyrna run of
the evening was called back due
to a mistake of an official. In
the fourth quarter substitute full
back Bill Cassell broke away for
an 80-yard touchdown, but an Of
fetal, seeing raised arm and
mistaking it for that of another
official, blew his whistle. Even
though he realized his mistake,
the only action he could take was
to bring the ball back, multiplying
the tally.
Smyrna times., 1955-11-10

remember this for a long time,
and we hope that it will be made
into an annual event" Letters to
many of the known graduates
have been sent out, and the re-
sponse to the idea shows that it
is one of the greatest "School
Spirit" initiatives that has been
taken in many years.

Last Obstacle
To Down For
Perfect Season

On Friday night, November IL,
the Smyrna High School Eagles
will be going after their eighth
straight win of the season and the
first undefeated season since the
innovation of football here in
1949. Although looming decided
favorites over the Delaware City
Panthers, the Eagles expect a
rough battle on Friday. The Pan
theirs have been unable to dent
the win column this season but
have showed steady improvement
from week to week. They are
rumored to have passing COM
bination that could prove disas-
trous to a lax team. The Eagles
will also be battling to. keep their
scoreless defensive record of six
straight games in tack. Not since
the opening game of the current
campaign with Caesar Rodney,
have the local gridders been scor-
ed upon. At present Smyrna is
deadlocked with Seaford for state
leadership honors with 700
record. They boast scoring rec
ord of 1853 points scored, an aver
age of 22:57 per game, while their
opponents have scored only 13l
points, an average of 1857 per
game.
Stars Everyone
The Eagles boast no individual
stars. Coach Bill Horney has
nodded an intricate, well oiled,
smooth running machine that hits
on all eleven and is thing of
real beauty to watch. Physical
condition, sportsmanship and spir-
it was Horneys prescription. The
response to this treatment has
been 100 percent effort from the
entire squad and winning team.
Their physical condition and train
ing reflects in the fact that the
team have suffered no serious in
juries during the current cam
paign. The factor that is most
credited for the teams success is
their SPIRIT. And it has proven
contagious-spreading throughout
the school and the entire COM
munity.

Uniontown Group
In Dance May 18th

UniOntown, Pa. - Th e
Ladies Auxiliary" of the
Croatian Citizens Club of
Uniontown, held their regular
monthly meeting on Sunday,
April II. During the course
of the meeting, plans for fu-
ture activities and sugges-
tions for the betterment of
the organization were dis
cussed.
The first order of business
was the change of the
monthly meeting date from
the second Sunday of each
month to the second Thurs
day of the month at 1880 pm.
This change was made neces-
sary due to the fact that ma
ny of our members are out Of
town on weekends during the
summer months.
Plans for a dance, which is
to be held on Saturday, May
%, at the Croatian Hall on
Franklin St., were discussed
next. It was decided that the
music for this occasion be
provided by a Polish Amer
lean band, namely Adam Kro-
vice and his Polish Comman-
ders. More details on this af-
fair will follow in future is
sues of the Zee.
The members present also
thought it would be profit
able idea to rattle a $500
Bond. Drawing for said bond,
is to be on Sunday, May Is,
1855, at the Croatian Hall.
Our organization now num-
bers 26 members, and we well
come any Of the female men,
bers of our lodge who have
not yet joined, to do so.
We also invite all the young
ladies, transferring to the
! lodge from the nest, to join
our Ladies Club and give us
some of their ideas.
So let's all attend the next
meeting at our Croatian
Home on Thursday, May IL
at 7:30 pm, and help to
make the future of our Aux
iliary a successful one.
