wise have had the opportunity,
Legion leaders said.

fans who attended wondering just
how tough the NWS competition is
this year.
In Fridays contest on a rain
soaked field the Pirates drew first
blood on their second play from
scrimmage when Barry Corson slant
ed off tackle, cut off through the
PIG secondary, and galloped 35 yards
for the score. After that time the two
teams threatened to display defen-
sive battle. And the first period was
just that for the most part with each
able to garner but one first down in
the period. Cummins' try for extra
point was partially blocked and the
score stood 60, Bluffton.
After the ensuing kickoff the
Rockets began to roll and when they
stopped the score read PIG 13, Bluff
ton 6 at half time.
Rice knitted off tackle from the
five-yard stripe for the first visitors
score. Ron Reichenbach attempted tc
skirt the end for the point after bu;
was stopped and the score was knot
ted at &c.
Bluffton could not move the bal
following the kickoff and was forced
to punt. The Rockets moved the bal
to their own 35-yard line. Then came
one of the fanciest, If not the most
deceptive, plays of the night.
Keith Diller, Rocket quarterback
took the snap from center handed
off to Bob Rice. Rice gave it tc
Tousley and the big, numbering half.

of which would be to erect an in
dustrial building which would be
for lease to some industry that
might be interested in moving to
the area.
The authority, it was stated,
would be supported by local parties
interested who would subscribe to
stock in the project The money de-
rived from the lease of the first
building would then, when suffici-
ent, be used to build other struc-
lures on the same basis. This plan
has proved effective in the New
England states, officials said, and
has brought good industrial prof.
ects into communities which have
provided funds for buildings.
A meeting was held recently by
an interested group of Milford citi-
zens where the plan was studied
and another committee meeting is
scheduled in the near future.
Leading the march of progress
in Milford, Col. Shaffer noted, were
the various city churches, seven Of
which have in the last three years
spent $815,000 for additions or en-
tirely new structures.
This church progress, he points
out, is one of the best barOmeters
to a solid, sound, progressive COM
munity. Many firms who survey
Delaware with view to moving to
the state, generally want informa-
tion concerning church facilities.
1T is good that Delaware is, and
has always been, a leading state in
Christianity and church develop
ment," Colonel Shaffer declared.
ut seems that Milford is insis-
tent in keeping ahead with the good
things of life that are our strength"
he continued. "They have one of the
most modern hospitals in the East.
taking into consideration the size
of the city. They recently have ex-
pended at the hospital S1,OOO,O
for a new nurses home and other
additions. This gives the area a 13O-
room institution which is in every
way fully stated"
Schools, which are presenting a
problem in every community, are
in the community at
a we'll regulated rate. Glass rooms,
a cafeteria and two gymnasiums
have been recently completed at the
of another $1,O00,OOO.
This community is no different
from others in a forty-mile radius.
They too, are feeling the impact
Of the Dover Air Force Base by
home demands of Air Force per
sOnnel, and many have found
homes there. This has also been
a stimulant to local business as
well as increasing demands for ad-
ditiOnal housing. In the years 1853
Milford chronicle., 1955-03-25

and 1854, permits were issued for
the construction Of 1873 houses.
This, plus suburban housing in the
same period will represent an ex-
penditure of S1,683, 1880. This does
not take into consideration future
housing expansion which could be
utilized as more Air Force person
mel are transferred to the Dover
Base and will be seeking homes.
These people will be arriving dur
ing the next six to eight months.
Additional housing for the Mil
ford area is a safe gamble. Builders
who might be interested in projects
nave an open invitation to contact
the public relations office at the Air
Base and learn of the needs which
will be required.
The survey points out that people
IN the Milford area work in fifty in
dustrial establishments EMPLOYING
from five to $50 people. They are
happy at their jobs in all of these
diversified industries.
The first industry brought to
Delaware through the State Devel-
Opment Department was placed in
this community. The Milford
Stitching Company started with so
employees. The plant has expanded
and now employs 14O people and
they have increased the size of their
original plant at $4,000 square feet.
This is twice the size of the original
area.
Colonel Shaffer noted that Mil
ford is the only bi-cOunty CITY in
Delaware, located in both Kent and
Sussex. 1t is also one of the few
communities that has interstate
rail, water and air shipment facili-
ties.
The railroad, the Mispillion River
and an active, we'll managed air.
port are available. On the river are
five plants, two shipyards, fertili-
zer company and two oil storage
and distributing companies.
Money has been appropriated by
the Federal Government to deepen
the channel of the MispilliOn River
to nine feet at mean low water. A
state grant is now being awaited to
remove some of the bends in the
river, for which the state will have
to furnish the right of way.
1t is predicted that the Mispil-
lion River in the next few years
will make Milford a city to be
reckOned with and will enlarge and
enhance the community's growth
and bring additional industrial
plants.
No city in the state is better sit
uated for expansion, Colonel Shat
fer declared.

Youth Under Bond
In Theft of Autos

An 18-year-old Cumberland boy
was being held in Randolph county
Jail at Elkins, w. Va, this week
under 81 900 bond for action of the
October term of the grand jury on
a charge of auto larceny.
Two younger companions are be-
ing held for action of juvenile au-
thorities and are charged with the
same offense.
The trio who were arrested by
West Virginia State Police Monday
night in Elkins, were arraigned
Tuesday before Justice of the
Peace G.. w. L. Doyle
State Police said the arrest of
the three local boys brought to an
end series of area car thefts
which occurred Sunday and Mon
day
The driving spree Of the trio re-
portedly began at Cumberland on
Sunday night when they stole a
car from the rear of Memorial hos
pital During their travels to
Elkins, cars repeatedly were taken
in Oakland and from near Nc
Comber, three miles from Rowles-
burg on route so.
About noon Monday the Cumber-
land auto was recovered in Oak
land by Tic. Robert Henline
Meanwhile another car belonging
to Carmen NJ. Monda. of Thomas,
w. Va, was stolen from Oakland
and later recovered at McComber
According to police the trio then
took another automobile belonging
to Ralph Glover of Terra Alta from
the location where the Monda car
was recovered. Glover's car was
later recovered by Sheriff Schooley
of KingwOod
The trio finally was arrested
Monday by Lieut.. w. w. Murphy
of the West Virginia State police
detachment in Elkins. Two of the
youths were apprehended and the
third jumped out of the auto on
the overhead bridge in Elkins when
the car in which they were travel
ing became stalled. The third was
arrested later. Police said the car
was identified as having been
stolen from the campus of Davis

Is Your Name
SNYDER?
DO YOU KNOW THAT:


SNYDER and its numerous
equivalents, such as Schneider and
Snider, are old German occupa-
tional names that are derived from
schneider" meaning ito cut. y
These names were applied usually
to a cutter of cloth and therefore
are of the same significance as the
English tailor" from which the
surname Taylor is obtained.
AS indicative of the fact that
SNYDER is one of the most popu-
lar of German surnames. it should
be noted that the Pennsylvania
German Pioneers, published in
1884 by the Pennsylvania German
Society and showing the immigrant
arrivals at the Port of Philadelphia
from 1927 to 1908, has $50 refer
ences to the name of SNYDER or
its equivalents. In the same con-
nection, the first census of the
