eleventh birthday Tuesday ev-
ening by inviting friends to her
home on Clarke avenue for
dancing and refreshments. Her
guests came at seven o'clock
and were safely home by ten.

school night, there was an ex-

of this season made it almost
impossible to get together at
the weekend. So the good
time may have been more en-
joyable because the boys and

ing IL all of the things they
have planned will be accom-

will find them well pleased
with their labors. Stores are
full of many suggestions for
gifts for every member of the
family. All one needs is the
where with all and a little pa
tience to wait for a busy sales
person to give them her atten-

air of Christmas and before we
know 1t we shall have passed
the happy day and be injected
to another work a day world
with just our memories of the
good time and the gifts that

SAFE STOLEN = The 500-pound
safe of the Millsboro High School
was stolen over the past weekend.
School authorities declined to say
how much money was in it but
said there was only a small
amount.
Apparently no doors or windows
were forced and all seemed to have
been locked.
A pane of glass was broken in
an inside door to the office of A.
Wayne Burton, clerk of the Board
of Education of the Millsboro Dis
trict and principal OF the school.
The thieves reached in and un-
locked the door then went to an
adjoining Office where the safe
was.
The safe was rolled to the main
lobby of the building, through the
auditorium to double doors in the
rear. 1t was loaded into vehicle.
There was little ransacking of
the offices. Apparently none of the
classrooms were entered.
The safe contained some cash
and ledgers with official accounts
of the school. Most of the school
records were in filing cabinets;
these were intact.
State police detectives of George
town Troop are investigating.

In projecting population esti-

Inasmuch as Delaware has
