CARGO FROM FOREIGN LAND
Wilmington Port Reports Greater
Imports Than Exports

Wilmington Port Reports Greater
Imports Than Exports
Cargo imported from foreign
lands which passed through the
port of Wilmington in 1854 was
thirteen times greater than the
amount exported from the United
States, the Delaware State DeveIA
opment Department said this
week.
Working from figures just re-
leased by the United States De-
partment of Commerce, as report
ed to that bureau by the Phila-
delphia Customs District, the De-
partment learned that total cargo
passing through the port was val
ued at $14,SOO,000.
Exports moving out of Whining
ton from the Marine Terminal,
which has been greatly improved
during the past year, totaled 49,
100000 pounds and was valued at
100000.
Imports coming into the port
of Wilmington totaled 692, 500, 900
pounds. OF this total, 618,400, 900
pounds was dry cargo, such as
cork and other raw products which
are shipped in regularly for use
by Delaware manufacturers, while
"a, 100000 pounds was tanker
cargo. The total value of incom-
ing cargo was reported at $13,-
100000.

EMPLOYMENT IN DELAWARE
Better in Delaware Than In Most
Sections of United States

Opportunities for employment
are better in Delaware than in
most other sections of the United
States. The Delaware State De-
velopment Department, through
its Washington Bureau, learned
this week that Wilmington, the
states largest industrial center,
has been reclassifed into the
Group c labor supply rating by
the U. S. Department of Labor.
In Group c areas, the number of
workers now seeking employment
is only slightly in excess of cur
rently available job opportunities,
and unemployment is approxi-
mately 80 to SO per cent of the
total labor force. There were only
% out of 149 American cities CIV
en- Group B ratings, in which the
number of job opportunities open
to local workers is slightly in ex-
cess of the number of job seek
ers, and there were no Group A
classifications. Throughout 1854
only five states in the nation had
less unemployment than Delaware
and none of these were indus
trial states, according to the
Presidents economic report to
Congress. The Diamond State had
the lowest unemployment rate of
any industrial state-3.0 per cent
of the estimated labor force. This
figure is only so per cent of the
national average, which was So
per cent. The unemployment rate
in all states surrounding Della
ware was substantially higher,
such as TO per cent in Pennsyl-
vania and 81 per cent in New
Jersey.

FOOTBALL
PROSPECTS
University of Delaware Has
Brighter Chances as Mem
bers Get Good Grades
PLAYER ON DEANS LIST

The University of Delaware's
football prospects were frightened
by the good grades received by
members of the varsity team last
semester. All of the sophomores
and juniors Of last season will re-
appear in the '55 lineup, along
with 20 members of the Blue Hen
freshman eleven.
Star halfback Jim Zaiser reach
ed the deans list again, with an
index of 3.71 out of a possible
400 in mechanical engineering.
Freshman guard Earl Alger join
ed Zaiser on the honor list with a
mark of 1892. Frank Gyetvan,
varsity center who graduated in
June, wound up his college career
with a $40 index.
Sixteen lettermen will draw
Delaware jerseys in the fall. These
along with the nine returning jun
iors and seniors who have not
lettered and the 20 sophomores,
bring the squad total to 45. The
returning lettermen, among whom
are eight seniors, include three
ends, two tackles, four guards, a
center, a quarterback, four half
backs and one fullback. Four
starters from the 1854 Refrigera-
tor Bowl championship eleven who
will be back in uniform are tackle
Nick Merge, guard Jerry Weis
and halfbacks Jim Zaiser and
Andy Wagner.
Graduation placed heavy dent
in the Blue Hen ranks, claiming
IA veterans, including first team
Little All America quarterback
Don Miller, honorable mention UP
All East end Tom Redfield, and
outstanding tackle Steve Butcher.
Jimmy Flynn will also be missing
after gaining a record 705 yards
in his last year OF eligibility.
Coming up from the Blue Hen
freshmen are such standouts as
halfbacks Jimmy Roe and George
Jarome, guard Walt Handel, and
tackles Joe Harvanik and John
Pollack. Roe shapes UP as a sec
ond Jimmy Flynn, with his short,
stocky build and dazzling speed.
The Delaware player ran the 100
yard dash in 100 and claimed the
district hurdles championship as a
high school star in Dover, N. ].

The new Pan American planes would fly the ocean
span, nonstop.
Major airlines continually vie with each other
for larger planes and faster service
AS Northwest meets this competition, they are
interested in disseminating service to such points
Bozeman and Kalispell In fact well-versed former
member of the county airport board believes the in
tent is to cross this wide state of Montana with
stops at Billings and Missoula. Helena and Great
Falls would be left to Western Airlnes and feeder
routes.
Northwest apparently feels that if it discontin-
ues service into this valley it will still pick up many
of the long-dstance passengers at Missoula Spo-
kane Furthermore the airline seems to question the
wisdom of stop serving IS, 900 people compared
to metropolitan that have populations equiva-
lent to this whole wide state
Flathead countys airport board is an effective
group of men who are giving considerable time and
thought to the whole problem.
We've heard that Frontier Airlines is interested
in logical western terminus at Spokane.
It would seem practical for the Flathead to in
vite c. A. Myhre Frontier Airlines president, to
address large civic group to what his line has
in mind
the West Coast but offhand it would seem that we
should be more concerned with connections with the
rest of Montana and Spokane.
Prestige of being on Northwest Airlines maps is
fine thing Northwest service in the Flathead is
something else. We are not proposing to let North
western go without fight and furthermore there
should be Improvement of navigational aids
At the same time should hear more about
the whole subject including feeder line capabilities
and the major airnes program of larger planes and
fewer stops. MH

Daily Papers

We were much impressed last Sunday with
The Daily Missoulian's annual Vacation Wonder
land Western Montana" picture supplement.
There more than 100 pictures in the supple
ment and it contains many choice Lacy photo
graphs of Glacier National Park and Big Mountain.
The Forest Service, Robert NJ Catlin of Missoula
and Guest Photo Art of Kalispell also well
represented
The publication is first rate. Printing to use
the rotogravure process done in Chicago. There
isn't any rotogravure plant in Montana.
The product will certainly help western Mon
tana including the Flathead. Advertising is obtained
through sponsorship of pictures, and the public is
receiving 48 pages of material well worth seeing.
Too much advertising make special edi-
ton unattractive for the reader
We also have in mind the excellent job being
done by the Great Falls Tribune covering Mon
tana's legislature 1t is tremendous undertaking.
The Tribune has Luke Wright on the job, and Ar
chic Clarke and other staff members help out. The
cost of such special service is large and beyond the
scope of smaller papers.
We are not meaning to criticize other dailies
but the Tribune really proving itself the statewide
paper in its legislative coverage. MI

Airline Service

Of considerable interest to the Flathead is the
expanding service of Frontier Airlines, a feeder
route
Frontier is including Glasgow, Havre and Great
Falls and over in North Dakota is planning to add
Ninot, Grand Forks, jamestown and Fargo. This
will result in rather complete network in North
Dakota and Montana east of the mountains
In the meantime the Flathead has round
in its attempts to keep Northwest Airlines

examiner ruled in favor of the Flathead but the
case is scheduled for appeal
The CAB victory is shallow since NorthWests
two daily landings in the Flathead are not depend
able especially in winter Navgational aids lack

Recreational development of the 34-mile

to the Flathead.

planning officer for the Forest Service, has been
the source of considerable information as to plans

covered in detail in the Hungry Horse News and

Linthacums approach to the whole problem is
excellent The Forest Service is taking into account

area in Bad Rock canyon itself.
The Forest Service has set aside the South Fork
bridge tract for campground development, but funds
are not available Furthermore there has not been
sufficient show of interest.
Looking at the whole recreational picture in the

excellently located between Glacier National Park

Urges PTA Support
Dear Editor:


Here's an open letter to the par
ents in school district 6.
There's need for all parents
getting on the ball and taking an
interest in the schools. Such prob
lens as you have here are nation
wide.
However l have never seen such
complete lack of interest in schools
and their problems by parents as
here.
We should give due credit to
the teachers. They are doing more
than their share.
When the PTA was organized
in Columbia Falls there were AZ
people in attendance including II
teachers. Could it be we do not
realize what privilege it is to
be able to attend and participate
in such an organization.
I've heard the word, Clique"
kicked around. We've heard the
phrase, ''There's a Clique running
it" in every place we've lived. AS
good citizen I've joined differ
ent groups, and l haven't met an
actual clique yet.
Here is hoping that l have the
opportunity of meeting not less
than 800 mas and pas" at the
Monday, Feb. 81 PTA meeting.
Sincerely
Mrs. c.. w. Armagost
Ed. Note: Mrs. Armagost is vice
president of the newly organized
PTA. Her point is well founded
PTAs are a concrete way in which
parents can show an interest in
schools and school problems, and
it is certainly an activity that mer-
its attendance. Nh
