A good history of Townsend and

this vicinity are the huge inland
basins which clearly indicated
that huge bodies of water filled
them years ago. According to
Mr.. Howard Townsend, the creeks
or rivers extended on his farm,
also at st. AIMS neighborhood.
Freight boats and possibly pas
senger boats navigated on these
waters and did a real big business
in maritime work. 1t is revealed
that a wharf was on the Town
send farm, near the home of Mr..
Townsend, and a big traffic in
supplies from England was un-
loaded at the wharf on his farm.

any deadline for replacing it?
A. There is "a deadline for

students residing in the State. If
I enroll under the Korean CT Bill

tuition?
A. You will be required to pay
an amount based on the schools
cost of teaching personnel and
supplies for instruction. But this
amount may not exceed $40 a
month, for a full-time student.
Q. I am an experienced car

FILA Requires
Houses to Be
Easy to Heat

New houses must be easy TO
heat to qualify for FHA-insured
loans. This was announced by the
Federal Housing Administration
following a years study of mini
mum property requirements.
In technical terms, the FHA said
houses must be so designed that
the heat loss is no more than SIS
Btu's per square foot of floor area.
Prior requirements called for a
heat loss of no more than go Btu's.
"a Btu measures heat like a gall
Ion measures liquid.)
This means a home must be
more carefully designed and more
tightly constructed to be eligible
for FHA insurance. For example,
windows and doors almost neceS-
sarily will be completely weather.
stripped. Double glazing, storm
windows, and storm doors will be
essential in colder areas. Primar-
lily, however, ceilings and walls
will have to be better insulated.
This may mean the use of two
inches of mineral wool insulation
in walls rather than one and one
half inches, or the use of three
inch bats or blankets in ceilings
rather than two inches.
The FHA in recent years has
become increasingly aware of the
Importance of adequate insulation
and has modified minimum prop
erty requirements accordingly.
During the war, the permissible
heat loss was reduced from 100
Btu's to so Btu's per square foot.
As a result, by 1850, 83 percent
of new houses had some kind of
ceiling insulation, "a percent had
wall insulation, and 8 percent had
insulated floors.
FHA's new requirement of no
more than SIS Btu's heat loss per
square foot of floor area will have
the effect of increasing the amount
of insulation in new home con-
struction, and home buyers conse-
quently will be more comfortable
and will heat their homes at lower
cost.

ENROLMENT
AT UNIVERSITY
Delaware Must Step Up Pre-
parati0ns to Meet Enroll
ment Increases
MORE FRESHMEN

The University of Delaware
must step up its preparations TO
meet enrolment increases if it is
to serve the needs of Delaware
students, DR.. John A. Perkins,
president, revealed this week.
Citing final enrolment figures
for the 1856 academic year, DR..
Perkins explained, "Our under
graduate student body is even
larger than we had predicted for
this semester and represents the
unusual growth and population-in-
crease in the State. The Univer-
sity of Delaware has accepted
more freshmen from Delaware
than ever before in its history"
Since first announced this year
the undergraduate number has
risen from 1850 to 2,115-an in
crease of 160 over 1954-55. The
graduate enrolment has also ex-
panded from 887 in 1854 to $40
this semester. Extension registra-
tions have increased only slightly
from 1850 to 1857, but the total
enrolment of 4,772 is the univer-
sity's top figure.
The Delaware president was one
of the first educators to predict
the college enrolment crisis and
has had several nationally recog-
nized articles published on the
subject. Today, however, DR.. Per-
kins admitted that the rise in the
university's enrolment was even
greater than he had anticipated
for 1855. The first major surge
had been expected in 1858.
Our principal concern for the
future is housing" DR.. Perkins
asserted. "Only about half of our
undergraduates can be accommo-
dated in university dormitories
and several of these are made
quate or are not economical to
operate. 1t is essential that we be-
gin the construction of several
large units for both men and
women students at the earliest
practical moment"
Only one small dormitory for
women students is now under con-
struction on the Delaware CAM
pus. Located between New Castle
and Sussex Halls on the south
campus, it will house approx
mately sixty persons.
Investigations conducted by un-
iversity officials during the past
several years have shown that the
construction of larger dormitory
buildings than any now in opera
ton would be more feasible in
future years. The cost of con-
struction per resident would be
less and maintenance and super
visory charges would be similarly
reduced. Such dormitories would
house between 200 and $50 stu
dents.
