Cubs, and Explorer Scouts has

is to sell tickets for an audience
of $4,000 expected to attend the
Exposition.
The ticket sale for the Scout
ing Exposition, to be held at the

and Frank H. Crymes, Hercules
Powder Company, vice chairman.
District sales training group
meetings have been held in Sea-
ford and Wilmington, and similar
meetings are planned for this
week in each of the IL districts
for unit sales managers repre-
senting every Cub Pack, Troop,
and Explorer Ship, Air Explorer
Squadron and Post in the Del
marva Council Area, the Scout
Council reported. The Scout Coun-
ell is a Red Feather Agency in
SIX community chests throughout
its area.
AS the boys start ringing door
bells, they will have their eyes on
two recognition prizes offered by
the Boy Scouts, one a neckerchief
slide for selling 10 tickets, and an
official B.S.A. mechanical pencil
for sale of 20 tickets.

SCHOOLS SHIP
BOXES ABROAD
Packages Containing Soap,
Tooth Paste, CrayOns, and
Games Sent BY Red Cross
RECEIVE FOREIGN MAIL

Mrs. Walter W. Speakman, Jun
ior Red Cross chairman for Area
4, has reported active programs
at both the Smyrna Elementary
School and the Thomas d. Clay
ton School in Red Cross work.
Mrs. Pauline Matthews, teacher
sponsor of Junior Red Cross at
the Smyrna Elementary School,
reports that fifty-three gift boxes
were filled by pupils in grades 1-6
with soap, tooth paste, brushes,
pencils, crayons, and small games
for distribution to children over
seas. Miss 1. Inez Burton, teacher
sponsor at the Thomas d. Clayton
School, has directed activities at
that school for fifteen years. The
children recently completed filling
more than fifty boxes packed with
the same articles as used at the
other school. In addition, children
at the Thomas d. Clayton School
have a continuous program of
making tray favors for soldiers
for distribution by Red Cross. She
also reports that letters have been
received at the school from child
rem in foreign countries, chiefly
Germany and France, thanking
the local boys and girls for boxes
packed in previous years. This be-
comes a practical experience in
good relations with those of other
races. Miss Burton emphasizes
that the work for Red Cross by
school children teaches them to
be service-minded. Clothing is al
so collected at the Thomas d.
Clayton School for use by local
families wing fires, and
through the cooperation of the
Catholic Home in Clayton, beds
are provided for families whose
possessions are lost. Mrs. Speak
man was responsible for assemb-
