Girl Scout News

Girl Scout Troop No. SO enjoyed
4 two day camping trip at Redden
State Forest at the Lodge. The two
day stay was eventful with hikes
through the woods, a snowstorm
and work on several scout subjects.
The Scouts left Milford on Friday
morning at 10 a. M, and returned
Sunday in time for church.
The weather was rainy and very
cold which made outdoor activi-
ties of the more active type i'm
possible. Trails were made through
the woods and the girls followed
hem. Meals were cooked on an
Individual basis instead of group
cooking as the girls wish to pass
Ill their cooking tests.
Beds were moved into the large
fireplace room of the Lodge at
night and al, slept in this room.
During the first evenings stay,
weird stories about the Lodge and
surrounding woods were told by
the troop camping director. Also
the Scouts had a very good time
popping corn, dancing, cooking
marshmallows and just in watching
he fire dance in the fireplaces.
Mrs. Nancy Dohring, Leader of
Troop SO and Miss Louise Halo
we'll started games and were in
charge of scouting activities and
overseeing the cooking. Dough
boys, pancakes and complete meals
were enjoyed by all present. Dur
ing the girls two day trip, IL
visitors, parents of the scouts,
stopped in to see the camp.
The second night, the Scouts
went on a F1ashlight night hike in
which they almost lost themselves
n the woods. They admit to not
knowing where they had been or
how they made it back to the Lodge.
Transportation was provided bv

Warren Dohring.

Dreaded oysters, and about 10000
gallons of fresh oysters.
The report foresaw, as of the
end of the last fiscal year, the re-
opening of the Mispillion River for
market oysters the past October.
Nathaniel w. Taylor, Jr., president
of the commission, said that this
did materialize following the elm
nation of the cause of pollution of
the stream by the putting into SER
vice of a new sewage treatment
plant by Milford
The river had been closed for
oystering for about Is years be-
cause of pollution. Since it's re-
opening in October, 5000 bushels
of marketable oysters have been
taken from the stream, Mr.. Taylor
said, adding that it restores to the
state from those grounds the fif-
teen-cents-a-bush tax levied on
marketable oysters. The amount of
oysters taken so far is considered
good for the first year, Mr.. Taylor
said.
The report pointed out that, dur
ing the 1955-56 fiscal year, there
were approximately $4,000 bushels
of seed oysters taken from the
creeks in Delaware, with about 50,-
900 bushels of marketable oysters
taken from Rehoboth Bay and an
other 10000 bushels from Indian
River Bay. There were about 225,-
a00 k,,rboIo 0f IT;rpipia Caod o7rc-
ters planted on leased bottom in
the Delaware Bay.
The pollution problem in Bread
kiln River was still under the re-
striction of the Delaware State
Board of Health which. because of
the condition, does not permit the
longing of market oysters there.
Dredgers Aid Project
The Delaware Dredgers Associa-
tion and the Delaware Bay dredg-
ers have continued their coopera-
ton in carrying out the plans of the
commission, which is much appre-
eiated by the commission, the re-
port states.
The members of the commission
are: Mr.. Taylor, Dover, president;
Wilbert Rawley, Leipsic, secretary;
Otis H. Smith, Lewes; Harry F.
Blades, Bowers Beach, and Eugene
d. Bookhammer, Lewes.
The report was submitted to Gov.
J. Caleb Boggs by Mr.. Taylor.
Total receipts of the commission
during the year amounted to $780,
239.O7, of which SIS 5,238.50 was in
licenses and $5,000.57 in fees.

fContinued from first pagel
shows the Old College in rhe year
of 1888, and the students in the
dress of that day The notation on
the Calendar reads as follows:
..Old College, the original build
ing of Delaware's state supported
University, dominates the campus
by both position and tradition.
The University had its inception
in 1888 when the General assembly
granted charter to group of dis
tinguished citizens authorizing
them to establish an institution of
learning under the title of Newark
College. The following year, with
money reportedly raised from a
lottery. "Old College" was erected
as the first college building. 1t re-
maS.ed the only building at the coll
lege for almost sixty years.
Financial difficulties forced the
institution to close in 1859 but
then known as Delaware College"
it was reopened in 1870 under the
Land Grant Act. In 1913, the ''Wo-
mems College" was instituted and
eight years later, the two colleges
were united as the University of
Delaware.
From small beginning with one
building, its beautiful campus now
covers 124 acres. There are more
than 40 major buildings mostly of
Georgian architecture and the
courses of instruction cover wide
range of subjects in Arts ane Sci
ence, Education, Engineering, Home
Economics and Agriculture, both
on the undergraduate and graduate
level. 1t has faculty of $50 and a
total enrolment of 5000 under
graduates, graduate and extension
course students. The School of Ag-
riculture has 500 acres of farm
land, including its well-known Ex-
perimental Farm in southern Del
aware.
Tine University is located at New
ark, twelve miles west of Whining
ton. It's graduates include national
ly prominent persons in addition
to Delawareans. The Farmers Bank
of the State of Delaware, whose
most recent office is now located at
Newark, has been closely associa-
ted with the University for many
years.
