Re-classifcatiOn At
StOckIey Continues
Woman With 10 Of 1O2,
Blind Lad, Discovered
Among Inmates

A 61-year-old woman with an
10 of 102. who had been confined
to the Delaware Colony at Stockley
for years in the false belief she
was feeble-minded has been trans
ferrd to the Welfare Home and
Hospital at Smyrna, and at least
four others will be relocated in
the proper institutions.
DR.. M. A. Taruminaz. new super
intendent of the colony for the men
tally retarded, today said two chill
dren and at least four adults, none
of whom should have been confined
to Stockley, have been examined
and found to have normal intelli-
gence.
The superintendent also said
classification of each patient is
under way, to determine the capa-
bilities for job training. A rotating
system will be set up for home
economics training, farming, and
crafts.
Nurses Doubled
By mid-September Stockley will
have six new graduate nurses, for
a total OF IL, double the number
with which the center was stated
in past years.
Another new policy, DR.. Tarumi-
anz said, will be limiting the Stock
ley capacity TO 4S0 or 500 persons,
so that more personalized attention
and training can be given each pa
tient.
Among the patients recently
tested for intelligence classification
is an 11-year-old boy, who is blind
but not mentally retarded, and
whose presence at Stockley was
pointed out more than two years
ago by the former Stockley Super
intendent George w. Bryan, and
Mrs. Nan f. Campbell, former board
member. Nothing was done about
this case since that time.

Officials Yield To Request
Of POpulace And Vote
To Send Equipment
Back. Extend Daylight
Time.

Fluoridation went out, extended
Daylight Saving Time came in, and
a new city hall was relegated TO the
doubtful category-ali during an
overtime meeting of the Milford
city fathers held on Tuesday eve
ming Of this week in the Council
Chamber.
Members voted to return the
fuoridation equipment purchased
a year ago for the city's water sys-
tenn, acting upon protests voiced at
a public meeting several weeks ago.
Citizens at that time voted against
the use of sodium fiuoride in the
local water supply.
The equipment was bought a
year ago, after council requested
a public meeting on fluoridation
but not a single citizen showed up
to discuss the matter.
Daylight Saving Time was ex-
tended until October 30, but the
problem of a new city hall didn't
receive any such brief and happy
action.
All bids on constructing a new
municipal building, to replace the
outgrown structure on North Wal
nut Street, were much too high for
the estimated $4,000 to 100000
which council thinks would be
available for the project.
All the bids were in the neigh
borhood of s150,000. and Milford
simply doesn't have that financial
potential, council agreed.
1t is supposed that City Council
will in the near future seek bids
again on the construction of a city
hall building, and il is further sup
posed that some changes may be
made in the present building plans.

million gallons of water used
daily in 1854 represents only about
one-sixteenth of the estimated
amount that can be withdrawn
safely from the state, However,
while Delaware as a whole is lib
orally supplied with water, GER
tain areas, particularly coastal re-
gions and densely populated loca-
tions, do face water problems.
Also, in certain spots the extreme
depth of the water may create an
economic barrier
Caution should be observed in
the utilization of Delaware's ground
water supply. For too heavy a de-
mand on specific aquifers, or wa
ter-bearing sands, will result in a
dangerous drop in the water level.
Currently, local overdevelopment
in Milford and Dover has already
created an apparent water short
age.
There is, however, abundant
ground water and little need for
oyeTdevelopment as long as new
users are willing to avoid the CEN
ters of concentrated pumpage.
