districts.
The number of persons taking
part in the election was extremely
high, as compared with previous
school elections here.
The following statement was re
leased by the new board on Wed
nesday of this week:
The newly elected Board of Edu
cation of the Milford Specia
School District wishes to extend
sincere appreciation and thanks Il
all the voters who supported us a
the polls Saturday, May 14th. We
wish to assure all the citizens o.
the district that we will exert oul
time and efforts to the continuance
and upbuilding of good schools fol-
Milford
Our primary objective is to en-
deavor to restore the unity and har-
mony in our schools and communi-
ty that Milford has known in other
years. We are most anxious that
high scholastic and athletic stand
ards be maintained.
We want to express our conf
dence in the teachers who make up
our school faculty. Without them a
good school is impossible. We as
sure them of our cooperation and
help whenever we can assist or ad
wise them.
We appeal to the parents of chill
dren to meet the school and the
teachers half way in matters of
discipline, special instruction and
in all problems that will enable
our schools to provide a thorough
and valuable education to each
child enrolled Failure along this
line means not only failure of the
school in its job and the parents
in their duty, but handicapping of
the child, who should be receiving
the most for his or her time spent
in school,
We appeal, also, to all the citi-
zens of the district that they give
us their full support and coopera-
ton when we take office, in order
that we may properly discharge
our duties and that the most may
be accomplished in improving the
facilities of our schools and pro-
ducing well educated boys and
girls, well equipped to face the
modern world where the very best
education is a necessity.
At Dover, the election produced
the unexpected resignation of a
board member who still has three
years remaining in his term. j.
Leon Tarburton said he submitted
his resignation as s'the best thing
to do since want to go along with
the will of the people"
He explained he had personally
Milford chronicle. [volume] (Milford, Del.) 1878-1974, 1955-05-20

urged DR. Robert ]. Zurkow, one
of the defeated candidates, to run
for the board. Since Zurkow was
defeated, TarburtOn said he had no
other choice than to resign.
1t was learned this week that at
the Dover boards last meeting, Mr..
TarburtOn was the only member
approving an immediate referen-
dunn, suggested by the PTA, on
raising school taxes to provide
higher teachers salaries. He was
opposed by Mrs. Charlotte fuller
and Paul E. Baker, who remain on
the board. and the outgoing presi-
dent, Robert H. Reed, who did not
run. These three preferred to await
salary bill action by the General
Assembly.
Victorious candidate in the Do
yer election was Samuel B. Ken
dali, who received 587 votes against
Dr. Zurkow's 17S and AZ for Jerome
Shapiro.
Under existing school board laws,
Mrs. fuller, Mr.. Reed, and Mr..
Baker will meet June /, their regu-
lar date. They can elect another
member to serve Mr.. Tarburton' s
.hree-year term. If the present
board does not take this action, the
.wo holdover members, plus Mr..
Kendall, will fill the post at their
July reorganization meeting.
Another record vote was report
ed from Seaford, where Cecil B.
Tull unseated Mrs. Marie s. Fox,
the incumbent by 719 to GAG. Both
candidates were quoted as oppos-
ing Indignation, but Mr.. Tull was
actively supported by a citizens
group favOring more positive
program Of opposition.
