Here Comes the Bride

Often when a student gradu-
ates from high school. she will
go to a business school or COL
lege to acquire more thorough
knowledge of her chosen voca-
ton. However. once a girl has
completed the required amount
of shop work at Burdick. she is
ready to begin her career.
In addition to their shop
work, "Burdettes." as the girls
are called. must take related
theory subjects. For example.
students taking business courses
also will have business English.
bookkeeping. business law, or
business review. Retailing pu-
pills study store organization.
textiles and merchandise infor-
nation. and girls taking cos
metology must study anatomy.
physiology and similar subjects.
We even have a bridal
course! This latter subject
consists of sewing. cooking
home management. child care.
nutrition. to name a few things.
Music and art are also required.

that it is the only vocational
high school in Washington af-

Honor Society. The students
and faculty are proud Of this
distinction.
Vocational education has be-
come an essential part Of the
modern educational system.
Burdick is not satisfied to keep
pace with the times. but strives
to keep ahead of the times. Our
school offers an effective exam
pie of the new trend in educa-
ton that there is not one dis
tinct kind of training that pre-
pares a girl to make a living
and another kind that prepares
her for living.
At Burdick a girl learns more
than to know and appreciate
the world she lives in. For she
is also provided with the Skills

Science Shrinks Piles
New Way Without Surgery
Finds Healing Substance That Does Both
Relieves Pain-Shrinks Hemorrhoids

New York, N. Y. Especially =
For the first time science has
found a new healing substance
with the astonishing ability to
shrink hemorrhoids and to relieve
pain-without surgery.
In one hemorrhoid case after
another, Every striking improve
ment" was reported and verified
by doctors observations.
Pain was relieved promptly.
And, while gently relieving pain,
actual reduction or retraction
(shrinking) took place.
And most amazing of all-this
improvement was maintained in
cases where doctors observations
were continued over a period of
many months!
In fact, results were so thor
ough that sufferers were able to
makesuch astonishing statements

ferers were a very wide variety
Of hemorrhoid conditions, some Of
10 to 20 years standing.
All this, without the use Of
narcotics, anesthetics or astrin-
gents of any kind. The secret is
a new healing substance (Bio-
Dyne')-the discovery of a world
famous research institution. AL

for healing injured tissue on all

The production Of greater or

gave a chalk talk on radioactivity
and radiation.
DR.. Mills led the committee
through a complex discussion of
basic facts about the atom and
the things that happen to it
when fiSsion. fusion or radio
active decay occurs. He dwelt at
length on the so-called "stron-
tium chain" which is Of partic-
ular interest to scientists today
because Of the presence of the
element strontium in the fallout
fro mlarge nuclear explosions.
DR.. Mills explained that when
q nuclear explosion takes place.
about 6 per cent of the fission
products are atoms Of the radio
active element krypton-90.
Change TO New Element
Within 80 seconds. on the aver
age, half these krypton atoms
have emitted radiation and have
transformed themselves into
new element. rubidium-90. DR..
Mills continued. This rubidium
transforms inself in 2 minutes
and ~ seconds into strontium- 80.
Strontium. in contrast to its
predecessor elements in the
chain. has long "half-life"-
the term used for q period in
which half Of a given quantity of
q radioactive material changes
into something else. The half
life Of strontium-90 is % years,
after which it is transformed into
yttrium.90. which persists for
IS hours. The yttrium is finally
transformed into the non-radio-
active element chromium 80.
which Is stable and never
changes.
DR.. Mills explained that stron-
tium Is chemically allied to cal
cium and when taken into the
body. as it might be in milk or
meat or vegetable products. tends

also that the radioactive dangers

Smyrna School officials an
nounced this week that the regis
tration of all boys and girls vac
plan to enter school in the fall
will be held in the Smyrna Ele-
mentary School and the Thomas
D. Clayton School on Thursday,
May %. All boys and girls should
be registered at this time rather
than in the fall. All registranus
must be 6 years old on or bCeort
January 1, 1858. Pre-school regis
trations have become more and
more necessary as schools have
found their enrollments increas-
ing; therefore, an adequate pre-
school count of expected enroll
ment is necessary for careful
planning of needed staff. Parents
are asked to come any time be-
tween the hours of nine and
three. Each parent is asked to
bring the birth certificate. Only
those boys and girls who were
born on or before January 1,
1852 will be admitted to school
this coming September. Registra-
ton will be in the cafetorium of
the Smyrna Elementary School
and parents will be directed to
the proper rooms at the Thomas

The Rev. Olin Shockley, Sus-

hundred persons gathered before
the firemen's monument in The
Plaza, Dover, Sunday for the
eighth annual memorial service
sponsored by the Delaware Volun-
teer Firemen's Association, that
I'VE cannot ignore the problems
of the age in which we live hnd
it is important to accept personal
responsibility" He continued say
ing that volunteer firemen have
caught the truth that we need to
have concern for all, far and near.
There is danger in the concept
of a division of labor and respon-
sibility. The need is for coopera-
tive action and unity. America
will be great and strong only if
it remains united and God exalt-
ed." The Rev. DR.. Thomas c. Null
ligan, chairman of the state men,
orial committee, was in charge
of the program which opened
with the advance of the color
guard. 1t concluded Richard Bat
chelor and William Lowe, Sus-

tor w. Levering, New Castle.
Music was provided by the Dover

was given by the Rev. Owen Mer-
Ger, chaplain of the New Castle
County Association. Three wreaths
were placed in front of the mon
ument by Granville White, state
president; Mrs. Minnie Kyttle,
president state auxiliary, and
Samuel Heite, president Robbins

deceased members, including SO
men and Is women, were read by

Granary on Tuesday
VOLUNTEER BURNED

Prompt action by volunteer
fremen of the Citizens Hose Com
pany prevented a disastrous fire
Tuesday morning at Rothwell's
Granary, on Glenwood Avenue at
the western edge of Smyrna. The
men had just returned from a
chimney fire at the home of Wal
ter Rider, Greenspring, and had
not finished taking off their uni
forms when the alarm for the
granary fire came in. They were
called to a third site at 1870 pm.
for a woods fire on the Brenford:
Road, east of DUPONT Parkway,
while a crew of men and two
engines were still at the Roth
well fire. Two engines were dis
patched to the woods fire. The
fire at Rothwells originated in
the drag-belt shaft in the cob
shed at the granary and had got
across into the main building in
to the cob machine. However, the
blaze in the dryer end of the
main building was brought under
control in half an hour, accord
ing to Fire Chief Robert FAIRIES.
Two of the company's four en-
gines and a crew of men were as
signed to stay on duty until all
of the burning cobs were remov-
ed. This work was being done by
fleet of Rothwell trucks and
was expected to take several
hours. One volunteer, Leland
Slaughter, suffered burned ears at
the fire. The Smyrna firemen were
assisted by the Clayton Fire Com
pany. The excitement of the SER
les of alarms was heightened by
the fact that many of the local
firemen had to start to Cam
bridge, Md. to attend the annual
convention of the Del-Mar-Va
Volunteer Firemens Association.
Members of the company who
held state offices and delegates to
the convention left at noon for
Cambridge. Sparks from the gran
ary blaze blew across the Smyr-
na-Clayton Boulevard and set fire
to a wagon body filled with trash
owned by George E. Wiley. Chief
FAIRIES dispatched a couple of
Smyrna and Clayton firemen to
extinguish that slight fire. The
volunteers returned to the fire
house at A o'clock after standing
by.

A special meeting of the David

cording to announcement by Com
mander Alfred Mack. A carnival,
Virginia Greater Shows, will be
staged on May 1918 for the ben
eft of the post on the Legion lot

lance drive will include a letter
campaign with letters expected to
be received by the public on May

during 1856 the ambulance made
206 trips, ten drivers served, and
the distance covered was 1879
miles. The debt on the 1856 Cad
lilac ambulance which was pur-
chased by the post has been re-
duced to $4,000 and the original
price was $4,000.
