prompt and reasonable start would
require immediate steps be taken
to foster climate in which orderly
integration might take place.
'In view of the confusion that
exists in school district lines, no
orderly process of integration can
be expected of the elementary
schools on a statewide basis until
the boundary lines of certain school
districts are more clearly reestab-
lished or defined Schools must
know definitely the children for
whose education they will be re-
sponsible.
This problem of district lines
would have been solved had the
State Board of Education bill on
the reorganization of school dis
tricts been passed. Since the Gen.
eral Assembly has not seen fit to
pass this bill, the state board must
therefore work within the frame
work of the present inadequate
statutes to effec. this purpose.
'In view of the necessity for the
re-defnition and establishing of
boundary lines, the State Board of
Education will take steps imme-
diately to effect these changes so
far as the present laws permit.
Proceed At Once
1.-THE State Board of Education
urges that those districts which in
good faith are planning to set up
local committees to study the prob
lens involved for the purpose of de-
veloping a plan to provide for COM
pliance with the Supreme Court de-
cision, establish such committees
Immediately for action.
1.-The State Board of Education
will require frequent reports on the
meetings of these committees.
"In the deliberation of such
groups a subcommittee of the Del
aware State Education Association,
composed of both lay and profess
sional people, will be on call for
assistance to any community at any
time it's services may be required.
"As a further step toward devel-
oping public understanding, the
State Board of Education is plan
ming a series of meetings with
school boards"
The critical teacher shortage was
disclosed by DR.. George r. Miller,
Jr., school superintendent, who told
the board the system has "a vacan-
cies in elementary grades and 26 in

Messrs. Mitchell, Hill and Wad-
kins are eligible to compete in this
Roadeo since they meet Roadeo re-
quirements of having had an acci-
dent-free record for the twelve
months Immediately preceding this
event. 1t is through their safe driv-
ing record, not only over the past
year but in years preceding, that
they have been selected by Masten
Trucking Company to represent
them in the Tri-State Roadeo.
This is the first regional roadeo
ever held by the trucking indus
try, and it will also mark the first
time that the Delaware Association
has entered a truck rOadeo. All of
the truck roadeos throughout the
country are sponsored by the
American Trucking Association,
and are held as part of their pro-
gram to promote safe driving
throughout the trucking industry.
The roadeos provide an incentive
for all truck drivers to be accident

for participation in these events.

tanks for the s.tank farm" which
will occupy an area on the east side
of River Road between Wrangle
Hill Road and the Pennsylvania
Railroad tracks.
The largest units in the tank
farm will be 160 feet in diameter.
Altogether, the tanks will hold sew
en- million barrels of crude oil and
petroleum products.
At the same time, across River
Road. tall guy derricks are putting
together the steel sections of the
"cat cracker" converter column.
This converter, to be used for
breaking down heavy fractions of
crude oil into lighter products for
further processing, is part of the
refinery's Orthoflow fluid catalytic
cracking unit. The completed unit,
the largest ever built, will have a
capacity of 100000 barrels per day.
Construction of the converter col
umn is a spectacular operation, for
the finished column will have a
total height of about $50 feet. Pre-
fabricated parts for the reactor sec
tion OF the converter are in II
pieces and weigh a total of 40S tons.
One of the most difficult jobs
confronting the construction crews
Is the transportation of the ponder
ous steel shells and domes which
are fitted together to form the re-
actor.
These steel sections. fabricated
L. ~. -. xt.x,.x 10,
and Maryland, are shipped by open
deck barge on the Delaware River
to Tide Waters pier at the foot of
Washington Street. Delaware City.
There, derrick barge. equipped
with a 90-foot boom capable of lift
ing up TO 100 tons. is pulled along
side the barge and hoists the cargo
on heavy duty fiat-bed trailers. The
16-wheel frailers haul the sections
down Washington Street and out
Wrangle Hill Road to the refinery
process area.
Along the route, overhead wires
are temporarily raised and power
lines relocated to provide clear
ance. especially at corners. where
special watchmen are stationed. Be
fore each trailer trip. the state
police are alerted so they may pro-
vide supervision If 1t is needed.
When the vessel sections arrive
at the site, they are placed on con-
crete pads where they are carefully
aligned and welded together to form
rings of steel.
AT the present time, crews are
keeping derricks busy hoisting the
sections into place. tier by tier, to
form the converter. The derricks,
set on 65-foot stationary steel plat
forms with masts rising 220 feet in
the air. are able to lift the sections
as easily as If they were egg shells.
Much of the same construction
technique will be used in erecting
other refining units. To facilitate
future operations. four similar tow
ering guy derrieks are being in
stalled.
The storage tanks, the cat crack
er converter and large mainten-
ance building are the first units be-
ing built on the site. The latter
structure is located west of River
Road and just north of Wrangle
Hill Road.
Other work being done includes
further grading and excavating.
pouring of concrete foundations for
various refining units, and laying
of underground piping and wiring

to have the underground work com

Keep off the gas"-"SLOW
DOWN and LIVEi"
This life-saving device was given
to drivers today by Reynolds du-
Pont, President of the Delaware
Safety Council, who places much
of the blame of automobile acci-
dents on drivers who hurry along
the road at excessive speed and
ignore traffic signs and signals.
Mr.. dupont urges everyone to
watch the dangerous Hurry Bug.
This is Walt Disney's conception
of the character who's so intent
on saving a minute that he doesn't
worry much about saving a life.
The Disney creation was designed
especially for the SLOW DOWN
and LIVE" campaign this summer.
Americas traffic toll is page
one news" Mr.. DUPONT continued.
Rare. indeed, is the day on which
there is not one sorry accident re-
ported. Nobody wants to be front
page news that way. And we won't
be if we ever learn, as nation, that
accidents can be prevented. If we
really want to prevent accidents,
we must remember not to speed.
And we must know that speed is
not determined by the speedometer
alone. 1t is the common sense law
of every state that the driver must
not drive faster than the condl-
tions of the road, the weather, his
car and himself allow. Anything
less than perfect conditions means
only one thing slow down.
Don't let the HURRY BUG" put
you on page one. "SLOW DOWN
