Join and Serve!

Seldom before in history has
the American Red Cross been
more desperately in need of funds
with which to carry out its many
humanitarian services than in the
present March campaign, which
nearly two million volunteers
launched March l. This great
need results from the heaviest dis
aster expenditures since the or
ganization was founded rs years
ago. Success is imperative to
fulfilling Red Cross obligations in
the fiscal year ahead. The outlook
is encouraging. Chairman E. Ro-
land Hartman said recently:
There has never, to my knowl-
edge, been a more favorable pub
lie attitude towards the Red
Cross. The public understands
better just what Red Cross does
in time of disaster. <Our philoso-
ply of neighbor helping neighbor
has been demonstrated in vivid,
concrete deeds. The American
people have watched us in action,
and have expressed their approval
in no uncertain terms" Local
contributions may be sent to Mrs.
Louise Denney Clifton at Office of

PLAN
SCRAP DRIVE
County Line All Club To
Conduct Scrap Drive To
Raise Funds
MARCH II : 81

Richard Reed, newly elected
president, conducted the initial
1856 meeting of the County Line
4-H Club held recently at the
home of George Scuse. A lengthy
business session followed the roll
call and collection of monthly
dues. David Spencer, treasurer,
pointed out in his annual year
end report that the funds existing
in the club treasury were at a
lower level than for the compar-
able period of last year. In view
of this fact it was decided that
some means of raising additional
funds be selected. A community
wide scrap drive was decided
upon. The dates of March 1871
were set as the period during
which the drive will be staged.
President Reed appointed Gerald
Heinold, George Scuse, and Bobby
Reed as chairman of the commit
tee in charge of securing means
of collection. Project enrolment
for 1856 was also discussed in
great detail. 1t was decided that
the organization adopt an exten-
sive community service program.
Club junior leader Ronnie Stevens
was named chairman of the COM
mittee in charge of this project.
He has named Judy Passmore,
Betty Jean Liefer, and George
Scuse to his committee. An edu-
cational program entitled 'Know
Your 4-H'' was presented by the
County Line staff. 1t featured a
quiz show involving club members
who had been divided into two
teams, the Greens and the Whites.
Final work on the club exhibits
in observance of National All
Club Week was completed.

DEAN COLLINS
CLUB SPEAKER
Miss Bessie Collins Heads
Panel At Twentie t h
Century Club Meeting
OUTLINES COLLEGE LIFE

"In reality, this is your univer-
sity," Miss Bessie Collins, Dean
of Women, University of Della
ware, said as she introduced the
other two members of the panel
at the meeting of the Twentieth
Century Club on Thursday. Miss
Shirley Tibbitt and Stanley G.
Lowicki represented the Student
Government Association at the
university. Miss Mary Holland
was program chairman. Using a
map of the college, Miss Collins
traced it's history, and paid trib-
ute to the part the women's clubs
of the state played in the start
of the women's college which op-
ened in 1914. She spoke also of
the five undergraduate schools, the
Division of University Extension,
growth in proposed new buildings,
scholarships which are available,
and the nursing program leading
to the degree of bachelor of sci
ence in nursing. Miss Collins also
said that the university values
highly the work of the churches
in the Newark community among
the students. Mr.. Lowicki des-
cribed the student government
phase of college life, which has
for one of it's purpose the foster
ing of leadership, with emphasis
on the main purpose, which is
study. He told of the social life,
of fraternities, the Placement Bu-
reau, and the debating team. Miss
Tibbitt explained the part the
women play in the student coun-
Gil set-up, of dormitory awards,
advisers, the social program, and

socially and academically. Miss
Collins summed it up by saying
that the faculty desires not only
that students may learn from
books, but also learn philosophy
and way of life. Many questions
were asked of the panel members
by club members and brochures
were distributed. Mrs. Joseph w,
Ennis spoke briefly on safety, CIV
ing a quiz. Mrs. Harold E. Wick
ham announced that 500 had been
realized by a bake. The local club
members will attend a reciprocity
program at Harrington on March
20. Mrs Fred Sievers headed the
committee of hosteses at the tea.

SQUAD FORMED
Smyrna High School Renews
Track and Field Team
After Four Years
MEETS SCHEDULED

Smyrna High School will be re-
presented this spring for the first
time in four years by a newly
revived track and field team. The
last Eagles track squad compet-
ed during the 1852 season; the
next year it was discontinued. In
previous years Smyrna squads
weren't too strong as a whole,
but many of the individual ac-
complishments are notable. Smyr-
ma held the medley relay record
in the Peninsula Relays until 1858;
Ralph Peters $50 record still
stands at the Milford InvitationaI
and his University of Delaware
Invitational record for the same
event was broken only last year.
The new squad under co-coaches
Charles Williams and William
Horney does not promise to have
as much depth as its predecessors
but the possibility of some in
dividual standouts is strong. At
the first practice on Monday night
eight candidates reported, but
more are expected as the training
sessions continue. Oakley Collins,
Dale Reedy, Ben Solloway, Dave
Reedy, Dave Deakyne, Ronnie
Mccoy, William Cassell, and Rob-
ert Hurd are the candidates.
Charles Williams, also director of
athletics, intends to enter the
team in the Dover Invitational,
Milford Invitational, Bridgeton
IN. J.) Relays, University of Del
aware Invitational, Peninsula Re-
lay Carnival; and he has one dual
meet scheduled with Caesar Rod
ney and is hoping to find several
others. Since the schedule is not
fully completed the dates and
places of the meets will be an
nounced as soon as they are
available.

PTA To Hold Bake

The Smyrna PTA will sponsor a
bake and food sale on Saturday,
March "a at Everhart Brothers
store for the benefit of the school
lunch fund. Chicken salad and
beaten biscuits will be featured
but a varied assortment of home
made foods will be available. 1t
is suggested that orders for the
chicken salad and biscuits may be
given in advance of the sale. Mrs.
Harry A Helm is chairman. The
need for funds for this purpose is
shown by the fact that during the
past month 2O2 lunches were CIV
en- to children at cost to the
PTA of $3.50.
