time ago I observed an engaging

up from toward the Point with a
fish still wriggling in his claws.
And then, from somewhere high
toward the sun, our resident eagle
dived down upon him. l think he
must have been doing good 200
miles an hour in what they call
terminal velocity when he swept
past the laden fish-hawk. The os-
prey took what the books call eva
sive action, but it did him no good.
He foolishly started climbing
away from our resident eagle,
which must have been precisely
what the eagle intended. 1t slowed
him and the eagle got in position
for another swipe at the osprey.
The osprey prudently dropped his
herring and the eagle had it in his
own claws before it had dropped
ten feet.
There is nothing very new On
this Island, nor under the April
Sun, and for sheer wondrousness,
if l must choose, my choice would
be on the side of the predatory
eagle. There are things that look
new and have a strangeness about
them. Some of my neighbors
would say, that in the ten years l
have lived on this hill men have
fetched a million gallons of as
phalt and have mixed it with the
native sand and fashioned it into
pavement, more than rs miles Of
it, where there was none of it in
1947.
But l choose to remember that
in August, 1899, the Ocean Bird,
owned and commanded by the late
Capt. Jefferson Davis Hayman,
was left high and dry on the beach
between here and Hatteras village
and it required three months to get

though it was the duty of sheriffs
in that day to hang their neighbors
occasionally.
This sound perversely irrelevant
but it isn't at all. In the Ocean
Bird, some while before she got
beached, fetched the first cargo to1

ROOm-TO-ROOm Gas Heat
ing Fills Many Comfort
Needs

OF all members of the gas ap-
pIiance family none fills more
varied role than the individual
room heater.
This appliance, known also as a
direct heating, zone heating or
space heating unit, is finding a
place in castle-like mansions and
modest cottages alike. 1t figures
in home improvements in many
congested urban areas, and also is
gaining at a fast pace in rural and
camp markets.
Last year about 100000 such
units were sold, for a gain of Is
per cent over 1855, according to
Milton T. Glow, chairman of the
lirect heating division of the Gas
Appliance Manufacturers Associ-
alton.
The fact that nearly 27 per cent
of these heaters were made for use
with liquefied petroleum gas testi-
fes to their popularity IL rural
areas. At the same time, Glow adds,
hey are growing in popularity as
1 means of replacing obsolete
heating equipment in multi-family
eity dwellings without central
heat.
Glow, who also is heating divis-
on manager of James B. CLOVIS and
Sons, Chicago, says that fuel econ
omy and low installation costs are
major considerations among mill
ions of owners of single-family

heating. Temperatures can be
made to order, and thermostatical-
ly controlled, to provide exactly
The right heat level in each portion
Of the dwelling.
Thus, for example, sleeping
room may be kept cool normally
but made warmer the instant it
needs to serve as a sick room. A
TV room, with its participants in
active, usually will be kept warm
er than other spots.
Compactness and modern styl-
ing in a variety of finishes have
been major selling points, Glow
reports. along with such features
as automatic temperature control
and automatic ignition.
Additional factors favoring the
industry last year include the
treud toward larger family size
and more diversified recreation ac-
tivities. Both have spurred modern
ization to obtain maximum bene-
fits from available living space
These heaters have been added as
supplementary units in many dwell
lings with central heating, partic-
ularly when enclosure of pOrches,
development of basement recre-
alton areas or other projects have
added to heating needs.
They also have been major bene-
ficiaries of the growing national
investment in summer homes and
camps.

MiIIsboro School News

Visitar:
Donald L. West, class of 1856,
visited the school on Monday. He
had just recently returned from
Fort Knox, Kentucky, where he
had completed six months active
duty under the Army's new Re
serve program.
Mrs. Hastings, Millsboro School
nurse, has seut out letters to the
parents of the 4lh and 7th grade
pupils concerning physical exam
nations and immunizations to be
given at school, Thursday morn
ing, February 21 The doctor will
examine pupils in these grades if
the parent is with the child for the
examination. The 4th grade exam
ination starts at $50 and the 7th
grade at 10:30 If the parent plans
to be at school with his child, he
should notify Mrs. Hastings as soon
as possible by signing and return
ing the blank at the bottom of the
letter
A combined immunization of
whooping cough, diphtheria and
lockjaw will be given to any child
under ten years of age. A child
should be given a booster every
three years after the first series of
three injections have been given.
The smallpox vaccination will be
given to a child of any age if re-
.quested. A child should be vacci-
mated every five years.
If a parent wishes his child to
be given an immuniZation, he will
have to sign a request blank that
can be obtained from Mrs. Hast
ings. 1t should then be returned to
her. She would like to have them
in as soon as possible.
Band Mothers Dance A Success:
Last Saturday evening, the Band
Mothers Organization held a dance
for the student body of Millsboro

completion of examinations. This
was one of the regularly scheduled
once-a-month dances held at the
school. Many parents of members
of the band served as chaperones,

Safety Council News

Motorists should learn and prac-
tice simple precautions for driving
modern cars safely on winter
roads, two auto club executives
said yesterday in commenting on
the program to combat winter au-
tomobile hazards being carried on
by the Delaware Safety Council.
The two executives are: William
P. Markland, manager of the Della
ware Motor Club, AAA, and Chas.
w. Lawson, executive secretary of
the Delaware Automobile Associ-
alton.
''The drivers seat should always
be adjusted so that the drivers
foot rests fully on the accelerator
pedal" they said "This removes
the danger of sudden bursts of
power which can cause an auto
mobile to go out of control on icy
roads,"
Mr.. Lawson and Mr. Markland
also pointed out that proper seat
adjustment gives better control ov-
er the clutch and brake pedals.
Motorists should practice smooth
driving all year, they said, so it
will be a habit when roads become
slippery in winter They must
learn to use power brakes gently,
they said, because over-braking is
very easy with power brakes, and
very hazardous on slippery roads.
Skillful steering is another
must" for safe winter driving,
according to the two officials. Dri-
vers should get the feel of the
road and be careful not to over
steer their cars, particularly when
driving with power steering. The
steering wheel should not be held
by the spokes or at the top, but
gripped with both hands wide
apart on the wheel to insure steady,
precise steering.
Winter motorists also were war
ned to keep their cars in good me-
chanical condition, and equipped
with good tires. A set of rein
forced tire chains should be in the
trunk, ready for use when needed
for dangerous ice or snow condi-
tions.
"Cars today are easier to drive
than they have ever been," they
said, "but they require even more
alertness and responsibility on the
part of motorists if they are to be
driven safely, particularly in win
tertime."

Today | Spit A Mile

To-day I spit a mile This was
Tommys description of his trip
to the Grand Canyon, and the gist
of the story by Mrs. Ida Dawes OF
Camden to ILLUSTRATED that a good
news story will be accurate, brief
and clear. Mrs. Dawes was a par
ticipant at the training meeting
held on Monday for officers of or
ganizations which work with the
Kent County Agricultural Exten-
sion Service.
Charlotte Swanson, home demon
stration agent, handled an agree
disagree discussion that dealt with
the duties of officers, how to con-
duct a good meeting, and how to
get ideas across to others
Mrs. John L. Tarburton Of Dover
presented an "ah-ha" demonstra-
ton with Marion Macdonald, club
agent. The demonstration is kind
of parlor game that involves people
drawing a picture which is YER
bally described to them. At first,
only the speaker can talk as she
describes the picture. Then, the lis
tenars can ask questions as they
draw the second picture. The OBJ
jective is to prove that people do
not absorb everything they hear
the first time, as they compare the
two pictures.
People prefer local news to ma
tional news and that's what your
editor wants. Folks may read about
the Hungarian situation, or the
western drouth or some other world
event first, but they will always
look for local news, said George
Vapaa, agricultural agent, during
the discussion period. $50 in re-
porting club activities, try to tie
them to things that touch the
thoughts and interests of others
Give names and tell your story
clearly, most important things first
II possible, the editor prefers type

cluded Vapaa.

Gov. Boggs Cites
The Farmers Bank
Continued from first page)

Continued from first page)
Governor Boggs' full statement
follows:
'The Farmers Bank of the State
of Delaware will mark its 150th
birthday on February 4, and GER
tainly on behalf of the First State
we want to honor this old and hon.
ored institution.
'tOn Monday, it will be exactly
$50 years that the General Assem-
bly, of the State, meeting at Dover,
passed the following resolution, and
1 quote:
An Act to establish a Bank, and
incorporate a company under the
name of the Farmers Bank of the
State of Delaware.
Whereas the establishment of a
Bank for the State of Delaware,
upon a foundation sufficiently ex-
tensive to answer the purposes in
tended thereby will be conducive
to the general interests of the state,
and tends to promote the agricul-
ture, commerce and manufactures
thereof, therefore Unquote.
Certainly the State of Delaware
has come a long way in the past
century and a half and now stands
as a national example of natural
and orderly growth. 1t means that
those before us, whose keen judg-
'ment we respect more each day,
planned wisely and well.
To-day we have not only other
fine banking institutions within
our bounds, but sound and pro-
gressive group of manufacturers
and agriculturists, whose constant
probings, expansion and promotion
have brought us to a point where
we enjoy the highest per capita in
come in the nation.
"It is a great privilege for me on
behalf of the people of Delaware
to salute all those institutions,
founded so many years ago, whose
contributions have brought us to
national attention and who have
provided our people with happiness
and prosperity"
