LETTER
To the Editor

To provide an organization to
encourage and aid American Cit
izens in the contribution of their
efforts, services, and resources in
the development of aviation and
in the maintenance of air suprem-
lacy. and to encourage and devel-
OPP by example the voluntary con-
fribution of private citizens to
the public welfare.
To provide aviation education
and training especially to its
senior and cadet members; to en-
courage and foster civil aviation
in local communities and to pro-
vide an organization of private
citizens with adequate facilities
10 assist in meeting local and ma
fional emergencies"
Thus are stated the objects and
purposes of Civil Air Patrol in
Public Law 476 of the 10th Con-
gress, the law which established
Civil Air Patrol as the official
civilian auxiliary of the United
States Air Force. To those of us
Who believe that the security of
the country is dependent upon
our maintaining an Air Force
second to none in the world, the
CAP cadet program with its goal
of creating an air-minded youth
for an air-minded age becomes
the primary peacetime mission of
our organization.
Having set down the objects
and purposes of Civil Air Patrol,
let me endeavor on this, our fif-
teenth anniversary, to give some
idea of what CAP can mean to
this community and its young
people. Open to boys and girls
from IA to 18 years of age the
program of pre-fiight training can
serve as a stepping-stone into
either civil or military aviation.
The cadets are given complete
study course on such subjects as
Theory of Flight, Navigation,
Meteorology, and other related
aviation subjects. In addition they
participate in both actual and
practice search and rescue activi-
ties of the senior CAP squadron
as well as other emergency mis-
lsions. To supplement the study
courses the cadets are given ori-
entation flights with qualified SEN
ior CAP pilots, and are taken on
field trips in Air Force airplanes
Smyrna times., 1956-12-06

Cadets may also qualify for par
ticipation in the CAP Interna-
tional Cadet Exchange Program
in which two Delaware cadets
each year are sent overseas to
participating countries as their
guests for six weeks. Then there
is the Jet Orisntation course. One
Delaware cadet along with enc
from each of the other 81 wings
is flown to an Air Force Base
for a five day course in jet train
ing, including five hours of act
ual jet flying.
These are just a few of the
many opportunities offered our
young people in an effort to in
terest them in aviation careers.
We seniors feel that the program
is especially essential in view of
the fact that in this Air Age,
with nearly every facet of our
daily lives effected by the air.
plane, only two per cent of our
high school youth are receiving
any formal aviation education
whatsoever. Also, this country
alone, of all major countries of
the world, has no fight training
program for its high school young
people. This deficiency we hope
to alleviate with the CAP fight
training program expected to be
initiated next year.
Therefore let me congratulate
Captain William Short and his
active Cadet Squadron on this
anniversary occasion. Without the
support of the Smyrna Cadets,
this squadron could not have
achieved its level of operational
efficiency, and we feel that they
have splendid record of achieve
ment themselves. Seven of their
members have qualified for the
Certificate of Proficiency and one
is now attending the Air Force
Academy. The Kent Senior Squad
ron pledges its continued support
to Capt. Short and his staff in
their tireless efforts and feel sure
the citizens of Smyrna will do
the same.

Dover To Have Home Short
Course Thursday, March 22
Dover will again have a home
gardeners short course on Thurs
day, March %, at the Capital
Grange Hall, according to George
Vapaa, county agricultural agent.
The program is being expanded
to include a morning, as well as
an afternoon and an evening ses-
sion on gardening topics.
The planning committee met
last week to gather ideas for the
| program. Some of the topics sug-
gested were: How to landscape a
home at low cost and so that it
will require minimum care, the
mole problem in lawns, the jap
anese system of floral arrange
ment, how to plan and manage an
annual flower bed, the kitchen
garden (herbs and vegetables) /,
mosquito control around the home,
pruning shrubbery, and so on.
Those serving on the planning
committee this year include Mrs.
William Sterling, Mrs. Francis
Raughley, Mr.. Edward Hall, Mrs.
William 'Tustin, Mr.. and Mrs.
Oliver Smith, Mrs. r. w. Pote,
Miss Charlotte Swanson, Mrs.
Marion Macdonald, Mr.. Robert F.
Stevens, and Mr.. Sam Gwinn. The
committee is still open for sug-
gestions from the public, and re-
quests should be called or mailed
to the Kent County extension Of
flee within the week.
The Dover program is designed
to supplement rather than to re-
peat the home gardeners short
course being offered at Newark
on March 1st. Some folks attend
ed sessions at both places last
year, although it is recognized
that it is difficult for many to
go to Newark.
1t is planned to continue the
child care service for young
, housewives this year who want to
see and hear the program.
The committee is also investi-

Boys Choir And Director
Acclaimed For Fine Production

Sentiment ran high last Thurs
day night in its acclaim of the ex-
cellence of the Interpretation CIV
en- the operetta "Hansel and Gret-
al" by the members of the Boys
Choir of Trinity Episcopal Church.
Praise for the quality of the pro-
duction was given Miss Anne Die

only conceived the idea of having
the Boys" present the operetta,
but saw it through to the end,
directing, playing the accompani-
ments and seeing after the cost

Then came the settings" for
this winsome and tuneful muSica-

which were thought out and exc

the aid of some of the parishion-
ers.

lied their parts, left the capacity
audience which was privileged to
see the presentation of this fine
story set to music, in open mouth
ed wonder at the ability of the
youngsters, so beautifully trained
by Miss Dickerson.
The operetta was taken on the
road for its premier with most
successful production for the Ro-
tary Club of Waynesville, week
or SO before it opened. in Lon
don. Now there is on every side
an appeal that it be presented
again, so that many who were not
able to see the first performance
have an opportunity.
In remarking about the pheno-
ncnal success CT the undertaking.
Reverend Lindsey remarked, 1T
would take more time and space
than we have to give, to credit
the goodly company of those who
were in part responsible for the
success, in addition to Miss Dick

say Thank you from the bottom

Club Guests At

It was a most pleasant way in
which members of the East High
Street Club opened their 1956-57
calendar last Tuesday when fifty
five of them accepted the invita-
ton of Mrs John Sawyer to be
her guests at luncheon at Orleton
House, Orelton Farms.
The luncheon was served at Ia

pretty with their arrangements OF

Now SO years of age, in fine
health except for failing eyesight,
Miss Higgins says I'm fully re-
tired but a tour through her stu
dio lets you in on the secret that,
despite her statement, she is keen
ly alert, still finds time and en-
ergy to sit at her easel and sketch
in the things that catch her inter-
est and it is only because of her
dimming sight that she is willing
to delegate some of the detail
work to others.
Though she is still painting she
personally expresses a decided
aversion to modern art, stating to
one inquisitor, IT'S a disgrace.
Genuine art must be able to live
and to please, and this modern art
does none of that. l don't know

she is member and held their in

paintings and their artists among
which were some by Chagall, Pi-

WOman's Club Hears
Handwriting Analyst

The new year for the Woman's
Club was begun with luncheon
at Coover Memorial Club House
on November 5. The retiring pres
ident, Mrs. Henry Young present
ed the gavel to the incoming pres
ident, Mrs. Donald Farquhar.
Mrs. Byers Adair, after short
business session, introduced the
guest speaker, Mrs. Floyd Kinna-
mon of Fostoria. An authority on
graphology and a handwriting an
alyst, Mrs. Kinnamon held the av-
id interest of the members by eX-
planning that analyzing handwrit-
ing is a science and not a form of
fortune telling. She pointed out
that there are only two classes of
people, the introverts and the ex-
troverts and continued on to ex-
plain the difference and how hand
writing places the individual in one
class or the other.
Members who had taken a SAM
pie of their handwriting were Civ
IN an analysis of same and were.
in turn surprised, amused. curious
and enlightened as to what other
people could derive about their
personality by reading what they
had written. Most members were
moved to observe they would pay
more attention to their hand writ
ing while the topic was still fresh
in their minds.
The clubs theme for the year is
''Profiles." Apropos of this, the
speaker closed with, "A Profile is
a wonderful thing and today I
have tried to hold a mirror up for
you and if it was broken, remem-
ber, you broke it yourselves"
which needless to say, left memb-
ers with food for thought"
Members are asked to note that
the Woman's Club will now begin
meetings at 1:30 p. m. and that
all luncheon reservations cancell-
ations must be turned in by noon
on Sunday preceding the luncheon.
The next meeting, November 10.
