WHEREAS, as Delawareans we
should take special pride in the
fact that our state was the first to

and
WHEREAS, it is most fitting that
we give recognition to all our new
citizens and encourage them as well
as all Delawareans to protect and
make fullest possible use of the
rights guaranteed by the Constitu-

THEREFORE,, /, J. CALEB BOGGS,

and around the structure as well
as surfacing the area to be used
for parking purposes.
The dirt road projects in Kent
County provide for the improve
ment of 16 roads, having a total
mileage of 27.08 miles, with the
roads divided into projects.
One project of three roads pro-
vides for the Improvement of an
existing road leading from HOus-
ton southwest to Route 13, another
is the existing road leading from
Williamsville StaytOnsville,
while the third is an existing road
leading from Route IA to the cas-
tern edge of Houston.
The other dirt road project pro-
yides for the Improvement of a
series of 13 existing roads, of
which most are a short distance,
located both east and west of
Route 113, south of Frederick.
All of these roads intersect with
existing highways leading from
Route 113 and extend over an area
from McCauley's Pond, on the
west, to point near the Della
ware Bay, on the east.
AS has been the practice of the
Highway Department in dirt road
improvements, each of these prof.
ects will be divided into two con-
tracts, with one contract providing
for the grading, reshaping and in
stalling drainage along the roads,
while the other contract will pro-
vide for placing bituminous sur
face, 20 feet in width, along the
roads.

Attention, Teenagers

If you are one of the many teen
ayers who would like to learn more
about airplanes and aviation, here's
your chance. And even if you have
never thought much about aviation,
perhaps the following questions
will stir your interest.
Do you want to be a real help
to your country, and at the same
time have lots of fun? Are you
curious about why and how an air
plane flies; why it is built the
way it is, and what makes it "tick?"
Would you like to find out more
about weather, and how it affects
flying? Or study about radios, and
how to receive and transmit mess
ages?
And, best of all, have things ex-
planned to you in simple, dOwn-tO-
earth language you can under
stand?
These and many more subjects,
are studied by Civil Air Patrol
Cadets. But classroom work is by
no means all that we do. We also
visit airplane factories and air
bases, and have search and rescue
missions, both real and faxed We
have close-order drill, and orien-
tatiOn flights.
Every year cadets have an Op-
portunity to attend a 9-day en-
campment at an Air Force Base
and absorb the atmosphere of mill
itary life.
The International Cadet Ex-
change, for boys, gives opportunity
for selected cadets in the United
States to visit 20 foreign countries,
while aviation-minded youth from
these countries visit the United
States.
There is also the International
Exchange for girls, where quail
fed cadets can visit Hawaii, Alas
ka and Puerto Rico.
And recreation is not left out. We
still have plenty of time for fun
and relaxation.
So, in closing, if you want to
learn more about airplanes, and
if you want to visit interesting
places, and meet new and inter-
esting people; if you want an OPP
portunity to fly in light aircraft
and in Air Force planes, and if
you want all this at a negligible
cost:
If you are IA or over, we sug-
gest you contact the Civil Air Pa
troll Immediately, by calling Ms.
Woody Smith, Milford 1901, and
transportation will be ARA nged.
Cadet meetings are on the frs al
third Wednesdays of each mcEth
during the summer.
