where a huge fire is lighted
around which tse ceremony is en-

Beach Will Be Scene OF
Swimming Classes From
Caesar Rodney School
SWIMMING INSTRUCTION

Activities at the municipal
bathing beach at Lake Como
reached their height for this sea-
son over the Fourth of July
weekend, the hottest of the year.
There was an overflow crowd on
Sunday, the biggest day, and an
equally large crowd on hand on
Monday. There were no incidents
and the beach and water were
packed with the people, with chill
dren predominating. For the next
few weeks the beach will be the
scene of swimming classes con-
Quoted for the benefit of children
at Caesar Rodney School. On four
days week, for the next three or
four weeks, large group of chill
dren will be brought here in the
morning and classes will start at
10 am. There will be two groups
brought on alternate days. Sew
enty-five pupils were on hand for
the swimming instruction yester-
day, and a group that large, or
larger will be at the beach today.
They are under the supervision of
Thomas Schaeffer, a member of
the staff at the school. Chief of
Police John w. Jacobs, Jr., reports
that the holiday weekend was
quiet in the town, with only min
or traffic accidents requiring pol
ice attention. According to Chief
Jacobs the radar set, which was

ors on the sewage plant construc-

note, Mr.. Gilmore said, that in the
excavating for the tank it was
necessary to dismantle and re-
move the foundation for an old
grist mill, the deeds for which

STATE NEEDS
1862 TEACHERS
General Assembly Appropri-
ates Funds For Only 200
New Teachers
SHORTAGE EXPLAINED

An estimated 5000 additional
pupils in Delaware schools next
year will need at least 1862 new
teachers, and the General Assem-
bly's appropriation would provide
funds for only 200 of them, the
State Department of Public In
struction said yesterday. DR.. r.
L. Herbst, assistant state superin-
tendent in charge of business ad-
ministration, explained the state
wide picture of the teacher short
age as requested in the depart
ment's budget. Although the gen.
eral appropriation bill has cut the
departments request considerably,
supplemental appropriation mea-
sure is being prepared at Dover
by the General Assembly'S Joint
Finances which would restore
funds cut not only from the edu-
cational agency, but from budgets
of the University of Delaware and
the Emily P. Bissell Sanatorium
as well. DR.. Herbst said $50 of
the 1862 teachers called for in the
State Department of Public In
struction's budget were needed to
meet enrolment increases in the
school term which ended last
month. The remaining instructors
will be wanted for September en-
rollments, and the larger school
districts such as Newark, New
Castle, Dover, Oak Grove, Rose
Hill-Minquadale, and Mt. Pleasant
are among those most seriously
affected For the first year of
the bienium, the school depart
ment asked $1,390,OS0 in salaries
for 1862 teachers at $3,840 each,
and the General Assembly's bill
recommended 200 teachers at S3,-
TAO for a total of $748,000. For
the second half of the biennium,
the department asked funds to
continue the same 1862 teachers,
plus 231 others, the latter at the
same $3,840 salary. The recon-
mendation was for only $50 addi-
tional teachers at $3,140 each.

JULY TERM OF
COURT OPENS
Kent Grand Jury Indicts Two
Men on Charges of
Manslaughter
ONE CLAYTON CASE

Two men were indicted on
charges of manslaughter by the
Kent County Grand Jury Tuesday,
one of them in connection with a
fatal highway accident and the
other as an aftermath of an al
legged gambling argument at Clay
ton. Pete ]. Zaharis, "a, Will
mington, is the defendant in the
automobile fatality case. He was
the driver of a truck involved in
collision on U. S. 113, south of
Frederick, on July /, 1854, it is
charged. Joshua Charles Carey,
so, Pennsauken, N. J., who died of
fractured skull, was a passen-
ger in car operated by William
B. Warrington, Jr., %, Clarks-
vile, Del, the other vehicle in
volved in the accident, according
to allegations, Warrington, Ches-
ter Daniel Steele, 10, Ocean View,
Del, also a passenger in the for
mer's car, and Zaharis were in
jured in the mishap. The indict-
ment contends that Zaharis did
not maintain a proper lookout,
disregarded the safety of others,
and failed to keep on the right
half of the highway. Delay in
pressing the charge has been oc-
casioned by the fact that War
rington has been working on a
ship and has not beer regularly
available. In the other case, the
defendant is George Arforen Hen
drieth, %, Mobile, Ala, an timer
ant farm worker. He is accused
of fatally injuring Daniel Ivory,
80, also an itinerant farm worker,
during an argument over a $5 bill
at Clayton the past June "a with
an auto jack. The bills of indict-
ment were presented the grand
jury by Deputy Attorney General
James B. Messick. The grand jury
