Plans are progressing for the
18th annual International Ocean
Swim meet at Rehoboth on Fri

already in, with four of the re-
plies coming from clubs who have
not participated in previous years.

kind on the eastern seaboard.

raising the necessary funds, and
they have met with a good re-
sponse from those who enjoy the
protection afforded by the local
fire company. Robert Jacobs,
president, announced that dele
gates to the Delaware State Vol
