On the O VAL
: Speedway Kid %

COMPETITION - according. to
Webster is rivalry, rivalry is emu
lation, emulate is to strive to equal
or excel, to vie with. So no matter
who says it or how it is said, it all
means the same thing to the sport
fans of the oval, 20 win clean, fair
and safe. The large sums of money
invested in a stock car can be
liquidated in SeconGs, due to poor
timing, misjudgement or mechani-
cal failure, it is very seldom caused
by personal animosity F.. While
the local boys of Stock Car racing
have regular work, this hobby has
paid off very we'll for those who
have gone further such as economy
runs, Daytona Beach races, the
great indianapolis 500, and some
are test drivers for the car manu-
facturerS. So most of them agree
to the slogan May the best man
win -.

congratulated for achieving this
goal.
The public is cordially invited to
attend this mortgage burning cere-
mony and to the installation of
new officers which follows immedi-
ately thereafter.

Howard BuckSOn
Reviews Blue Cross

Unexpected hospital and medical
expenses have often caused finan-
cial disaster to Delaware families,
Howard M. Buckson, an advisor to
the Delaware Trust Company's Do
yer Office, declared yesterday in ex-
planning why he recommends the
Blue Cross-Blue Shield Plans.
Mr.. Buckson, an original mem
ber of Blue Cross in Delaware, is
sued the first in a series of state
ments by Delawareans in all walks
of life endorsing the Blue Cross
Blue Shield. The testimonial state
ments are being issued in connec-
ton with the twentieth anniver-
sary of Group Hospital Service
Inc, the non-profit community or
ganization providing hospital and
| medical-surgical coverage for Del
awareans.
Mr.. Buckson said: Sin my 43
years as a banker, I've seen unex-
pected hospital and medical ex-
penses cause financial disaster time
inal member of Delaware Blue
Cross, | am pleased to know that
today 227,000 Delawareans budget
their health dollars through men,
bership in Blue Cross-Blue Shield
their community plan which has
spent over $50 million for their
hospital -surgical-medical care. My
son, who succeeded me as manager
of Delaware Trusts Dover Office,
also recognizes that Blue Cross
Blue Shield is the soundest health
investment you can buy-because
since 1885, Delawareans have re-
received $500 return on their Blue
Cross-Blue Shield membership dol
