.SHS UNBEATEN
STREAK AT FIVE
Eagles Crush Middletown At
O; UnscOred on i'm Last
Four Games
DEFENSE STRONG

BY crushing Middletown 48-0
Friday night the Smyrna High
Eagles continued two streaks. The
most important being their un-
beaten streak which now stands
at five, tying them for state
scholastic football honors with
Seaford with a SO record Also,
the Eagles have not been scored
upon in the last four games. The
Smyrna defense has been dented
for only 13 points, an average of
2.6 per game, while the offense
has totaled 112, an average of
22.4 per game. In Friday nights
game on the school field every
body got into the act. Coach
Horney cleared the bench except
for the waterboy. The Eagles
took command right at the start
as freshman halfback Ronnie Nc
Coy scored three times in the
first half, twice on runs of three
and four yards and once by snar-
ing pass from quarterback Ben
Solloway for a 20-yard I'D. Dave
Reedy galloped forty-five yards to
complete first half touchdowns.
In the third quarter defensive
back Eddie Hamburg grabbed a
partially blocked Middletown Kick
and raced IS yards to the end
zone, the longest run of the even
ing. In the same period Dale
Reedy smashed over the goal line
from the to cap a 60-yard drive.
The final period showed the sew
enth I'D, a 50-yard sprint by Dave
Reedy, his second in the game.
In addition to the AZ points from
touchdowns, Dave Deakyne kick
ed of 5 placements through the
uprights, and Dave Reedy ran 2
extra points, totaling 48 in all.
But the Eagles didn't need all
these, for the defense shone as
brightly. Middletown didn't ad-
vance the ball beyond the Smyr-
ma S5 yard line all evening. Most
of the credit for this goes to the
linemen, Karl Gebhart, Bart Luff,
John Poore, Bill Carter, Fred
Bush, and Dave Comegys. Last
night the hometown boys travelled
to ]. M. Clayton, a team that
promised to provide a tough bat
tie. November 4, the Eagles play
at Lewes after which they round
out the season at home with Del
aware City on November IL.

them if they cannot be repaired.

supervise the drive to be partici-
pated in by all schools. The chill
dren are asked to bring the toys
in on Friday, Nov. IL. The Boy

tion of Earl Ford, will also make
a collection of toys which they
win turn in to the firemen, who
are appealing for all they can get.

be brought to the fire house
When not possible. the committee
will pick the toys up. They
would like them all in at an early
date so that all work may be
completed by Dec. 15 when dis
play for the public will be ready.
A Christmas kettle will be hung
at Four Corners into which pc
destrians are asked to drop their
loose change, to be used for the
purchase of candy and fruit which
goes with each basket of toys.
The firemen have taken toys to
more than two hundred children,
and they emphasize that they can
only serve those in the area COW
cred by the Smyrna fire depart
ment. The need for toys is urg-
ent and residents are asked to
clean out their closets, especially
for games and books for the ten
to twelve-year old group.

There is a lot of TB in
Taiwan.' explains Miss Chou.
The American rate of TB is
low so it seems you must have
a system that would lower our
rate also.
To Study Here
1--WE have $50, 900 patients in
Taiwan." she continues, land
we have a shortage of beds in
the hospitals. I have come to
your country to learn Public
Health nursing SO when ! re-
turn ! try to make a plan to
treat patients at home as
Americans do. It is a cheaper
way. If we use hospitals 1t
costs much money"
Since there are not enough
Public Health nurses in Tai
wan. Miss Chou plans to train
high school girls in special
home care of TB patients.
1T is very hard to discharge
a TB patient from a hospital
in Taiwan," declares Miss
Chou. They don't want to
leave.
+. They often try to hang
themselves or refuse to eat.
We warn nurses to pay partic-
ular attention to those whom
the doctors want to discharge.
This is because many can
not work and may have no
home. Many come from the
mainland Of China.
Families Divided
''Often a family is divided, "
says Miss Chou. Half are in
Taipei and half on the Com
munist mainland.
I'VE know we will one day
return to the Mainland" de-
clares Miss Chou. I'VE all
want to return, but only if
our government returns.
Miss Chou escaped from the
Communists in Picking in 1850
and went to Hong Kong. From
there she went on to Taipei
where she has been since 1851.
There is one thing I don't
like about Americans" she
says thoughtfully. In this
country. people do not respect
their fathers and mothers.
They do not take care of them.
II have visited old people in
