And scorned to blot it NTH a
name
Men OF the plain heroic breed
Who loved hedpen's silence
more than fame.
BY far the greater part Of
our cultural heritage has
come down to us anonymous
ly. All life has been sweet
ened and strengthened by
unadvertised sacrifice and
devotion and goodne ss.
Earth's choicest souls have
never found their greatest
thrill in announcing their
names. They have never as
croaking frogs broadcast their
importance to admiring boys.
They have been men and
women Of like passion as our
selves, belonging to the busy
streets and the drudgery Of
housekeeping as well as to
the dim sanctuary-yes, also
of the kitchen realm of pots
and pans, who lived fragrant
lives and performed nameless
deeds that heaven puts in the
category of the highest.
These are they who have held
the fabric of society together,
who belong to the glorious
company Of unknown yet well
known.
Oberlin College bears
proudly the name of a French
philanthropist and preach
er. Once while journeying in
the mountains by Alsace he
was overtaken by intense
cold Exhausted he sank into
the snow and fell asleep. He
was awakened by a WAGNER
in a blue smock who urged
him to arouse himself. This
un known helper assisted
Oberlin to his wagon and
then took him to his village
and saw that he had every
care. On recovering. Ober-
lin tried to reward his kindly
rescuer. The man declined
any gift. saying that it was
his Joy as well as his duty to
help others in need. "At least
tell me your name" begged
the one who had been
snatched from death. II do
want to remember you in my
prayers" Replied the hum
BILE peasant, Il notice by your
habit that you are a preacher.
Tell me If you will the name
Of the Good Samaritan, and
then I will tell you mine"
All! He was unknown, yet by
the ages we'll known because
Of the service he rendered.
On the high altar of the
highest and best is craven
the same phrase on the green
hill overlooking the Nations
Capital, known But to
God" That inscription speaks
of those unknown, yet we'll
known, who loved heavens
silence more than fame. From
that vantage point can be
viewed steep and thorny vistas
among which benefactions
unnumbered and vast have
reached us - with crimson
footprints like those of VAL
ley Forge. Other have given
you what you enjoy. In most
cases you cannot name them,
but those nameleSs ones have
paid for your treasure in peril,
toll and pain.
/ do not know their names,
/ only knoW they heard Gods
Uotce, and came,
Brought all they had across
the sea,
To hUe and work for God and
me;
And at the end Without me-
mortal died.
No blGring trumpet sounded
out their praise.
They hved. They died. / do
not knoD their names.
They are known only to God
unknown, yet well known.

Dear ABBY Critic

/ very much object to The
Stars new column, Dear
Abby" because of its cheap
ness and debasing influence.
Undoubtedly it will encourage
coarseness and cheapness of
the kind that seem to be
Dear Abby's stock in trade.
That the majority Of the
letters published were really
sent to the columnist Is Ger
tainly questionable.

100 Years Ago

The master orator was the
subject of legend and lecture
a century ago, and on June 2,
1858, The Star reported:
Lecture on Daniel Webster
"A goodly assemblage of
people were at the Foundry
church last night to hear the
lecture of DR.. B. H. Madal
on the eloquence of our great
statesman. The life of Daniel
Webster is so well known to
Washingtonians and the great
deeds he performed so famil-
lar to our area, that one
would have expected but little
that was new in a lecture on
his life and eloquence; but
the reverend speaker kept
the audience spellbound
throughout by the power Of
well selected and truthful
inundation. >"
The British, 100 years ago,
were Fostering American
shipping. On June 8, 1858,
The Star said: --latest Out

other American vessel was
fired into by a British cruiser
of Pensacola, Fla, and one
man killed, is confirmed by
more recent advices, together
with the statement that the
United States steamer Fulton,
Capt. Almy, has gone in pur-
suit Of the belligerent vessel,
with the intention of captur-

Of interest to the children will
be small copies of the caps SO
proudly worn by graduates of the
Milford Nursing School. These
small caps as well as toy doctor
and nurse kits and nurse dolls
will be sold. The Nurses also hope
to raise funds thru the sale of
fudge. There will be display of
interest to future nurses. This will
show the advantages of nursing as
a career and information about the
Milford M morial Hospitals
School of Nursing may be obtained
Also in this central position will
be a registration desk. The Auxil-
iary is hoping a large number of
former Hospital patients and par
ticularly children born in the Hos
pital, will come to the Hospital
Fair to show their appreciation of
the Hospital. Plans are being dis
cussed that will make it specially
interesting for former patients and
those born in the Hospital to re-
turn.
While the main theme stresses
the Importance of the Milford Me-
mortal Hospital, the Auxiliary
hopes to raise a sizable amount of
money to purchase needed Hospi-
tai equipment. Other organizations
in the community and surrounding
area are cooperating to make this
Hospital Fair on May 10, a sue
cess. There are always nl7ny things
to make our Hospital more efficient
that cannot be purchased except
thru outside help.
Mr.. Lorenz listed for the Aux
iliary a number of needed items,
such as, oxygen tent, rcsusitators,
recovery room beds, dispensary
cabinets, freezer for the kitchen,
incubator, medicarts, drug cabi-
nets, hi-lo beds. The Auxiliary
hopes that enough funds will be
raised thru the Hospital Fair to
supply many of these this year.

1t. Col. John P. Ferguson, Asst.
superintendent of the Delaware
State Police, gave the address of
the evening in which he stressed
the Importance of attitudes adults
can build in children. He vividly
and forcefully put across the ne
cessity for i;;"ingg by the rules
whether it Is a game or life and
the sooner this is instituted in our
young people the quicker we are
going to get away from juvenile
delinquency and the f1outing of the
law on the highways. He urged his
listeners in their homes and in
their contact with the Scouts to
take the right attitude toward the
policeman who is enforcing the law
as well as the sign that gives the
speed limit so that when these
youngsters grow up they will have
respect for law and order.

The service program exemplified
by Troop No. 33 gave everyone an
opportunity to meet their honorary
member, Mamie Leverage 1t was
an inspiring part of the evening
and Troop No. SO is to be COM
mended on the interest they have
taken and exercised in regard to
their community service. They
have reached out far beyond nee
essary boundaries to acquaint them
selves with the problems involved
with Polio, not only learning, but
applying their knowledge by help
ing Mamie. We know Mamie Can
Depend Upon Them for Service"
Saturday, March 90, at 10 o'clock
there will be patrol leaders train
ing meeting at the Asbury. Metho-
dist Church, Harrington. 1t is
expected that all leaders, patrol
leaders and their assistants will
plan to attend. You are asked to
take nose bag lunch, and drinks
will be served. On April we will
have movie day. At this time each
troop will present their attractive
container that the girls have filled
with pennies for the Juliette Low
World Friendship Fund.
Troop No. 33 has tried to help
Mamie Leverage, our honorary
member, in many ways and we feel
that we have helped her most by
getting her a Port-O-Lift You see
Mamie has been a polio victim for
nearly 43 years and this has been
one of the things she has needed
SO badly. When the idea of getting
this was first suggested to us, we
tried many sources, and finally
turned to the Polio Foundation of
Delaware for help. Through the
very kind efforts of Judge Terry,
the Kent County Chairman of the
Association, we were able to full
fill our plans. Along with the
Port-O-Lift, Mamie will receive a
new wheel chair, too. The gift was
presented to her last Wednesday
night, March IL, during the Girl
Scout Parents Night Party. Troop
No. 35 is honored to have had a
part in rendering such a service to
one as appreciative as Mamie.
The Scouts of Troop No. 78 have
had busy time since the begin
ming of the new year. We are work
ing on our Child Care Badge. Mrs.
Hammond talked to us about birth
certificates, their Importance,
where they are kept and etc. Mr..
Kerr was in to tell US about our
school and many inside facts we
didn't realized were so important.
Mrs. Nevins' troop invited us to
Valentine party. We had won
derful time. Then came the cookie
sale. Each girl did her best to sell
as many as possible. Barbara
Hitch was the scout in our troop
to sell the most boxes. Congratu-
lations, Barbara! With the money
we bought Bible for the hospi-
tai. All the girls voted as the
girl they wished to be the Scout
of the year. Bonnie Hoey was Sc
lected in our troop. Congratula-
tions to Bonnie, too! Now we are
very excited about our float we are
planning for the parade just a lit
tie later on. Then came Scout
Week. All the troops went to the
Avenue Methodist Church for Sun
day morning worship service. That
was a wonderful beginning to
Scout Week. Wednesday evening
we had our family night program.
We have had a busy time and a
good time. We are looking for
ward to the weeks ahead.

So. Mrs. Charles Lundstedt, Mil

the ideals of girl scouting not only
in your meetings, but also at home,
at school, and at church.
We charge you to continue up
these ideals, these prom
ises to God, your family, your
friends and your sisters in scout
ing. May you return to your troop
and work with them through the
coming year in such a way that
next year at this time you may
bring forward with you another
girl scout from your troop who
has become outstanding too"
