At Big Dinner Meeting.

The First Representative Dis
trict Republican Club of Sussex
County recently completed its ini-
tial year OF existance and feels that
this is too important an occasion
to pass unmarked. Therefore, the
Milford Area Republicans are dis
cussing plans for a big dinner ten
tatiyely scheduled for mid-Novem-
Der.
u. S. Senator John ]. Williams is
the clubs choice for principal
speaker at the projected November
affair, which might well evolve into
a testimonial for the popular Sus-
sex Countian, already endorsed by
the CLUB for reelection in the 1858
General Election. So anxious are
the local COP. club members to
have Delaware's senior member Of
Congress as the speaker for their
dinner they have indicated a will
ingness to set the date at the con-
venience of Senator Williams.
The First Representative District
Republican Club was organized in
late August of 1856 to fill an ap-
parent need for an organization
that by its activity could return

ing Pilot Father OF
Three Children.

A 30-year-old commercial crop
duster from Christiana WAS killed

plane but the heat of the fire kept
him from getting close. He called
the Greenwood Fire Company.
His wife, Mrs. Caroline Clayville,
collapsed when told of the accident.
Investigation is being conducted
by the Civil Aeronautics Admins

Clayville was to have given a
