Mexican boy who owns, or
thinks he owns, a bull. The
animal is his pet. It follows
him around like a friendly
puppy. This is a happy thing
to behold, but over it all hangs
an ominous cloud. Legal own
ers of the bull have it ear
marked for the ring, the huge
Plaza de Mexico b~ull-ring in
Mexico City. That is where
they take the splendid bull to
fight with Fermin Rivera,
greatest Matodor in all Mexi-
CO. What the little country boy
does to thwart all this and
what happens when 10000 on
lockers wait to see Rivera kill
the bull is an unforgetable,
wonderful movie experience.
Michel R a y, 10-year-old
dramatic actor, is seen as the
Mexican lad. Rarely has any
performer, young or old, do
minated audience emotions so
Accordingly. He will always
be remembered affectionatoly
as the star eff "The Brave
One" Supporting the remark
able youngster are such com
petent players as Rodolfo
Navarro and Joi Lansing. Fer
min Rivera appears as himself
in the tremendous bull-ring
sequence.

ployed to present "The Brave

opulence and this photo

great Paseo de la Reforma,

PUPILS THRILL
TO Esq VISIT
SIS Youngsters See Beauty
and the Beast, '5S An
nual Offering
PTA SPONSORS VISIT

The magic of live theater was
brought to many children for the
first time when SIS elementary
school age boys and girls were
packed into the auditorium of
Smyrna High School last Wednes-
day afternoon to see the E 81
production Beauty and the Beast"
presented by the University of
Delaware. The enraptured audi
ence entered intellectually into
the land of make-believe" and
"hated the sorceress," portrayed
by Phyllis Jones; loved Beauty"
played by jamie Clark, and took
to their hearts Ken Spevin cast
as "Floppy" the rabbit. The dram
atization of the fairy tale was
brought to the local children
through the sponsorship of the
Smyrna PTA, and was the high
point in the school year for the
younger pupils. Not only did the
youngsters thrill to the make
believe" but the adults were also
caught up in the magic of the
performance, which was beautiful
ly staged. The work of the cast
production crew and directors was
efficiently carried out from the
moment the truck with properties
arrived until the house lights
went down and the task of taking
down the sets and lighting and
sound equipment was over and
they were on their way to the
next presentation that night at
Caesar Rodney School. Buses were
loaded with school children with
their eyes cleaning with pleasure
and excitement over their great
adventure in the theater. They
had responded enthusiastically to
the request for letters to be writ
ten to the University, and were
filled with hope that next year
would bring another play by the
Esq Players. Many junior high
school students were heard to ex-
press the wish that they, too,
might have the opportunity to at
end the production next year.

Environment
Vital Little
League Factor

In recent letter to the editor
Dr. Creighton j. Hale, nationally
eminent physiologist, was quoted
on two conditions of environment
best suited to the development OF
boys. These were from a speech
DR.. Hale gave at a recent nation
al Little League Congress. In all,
he listed nine such conditions. AL
though given as a guide to the
adults who administer local Little
Leagues, we feel that they are
valuable to anyone who is asso-
ciated with boys, either collec-
lively or individually. Therefore,
The Smyrna Times has gotten
permission to print the entire list.
1. Boys develop best in an en-
vironment of friendliness and
warmth
2. Boys develop best in an en-
vironment where they can meet
actual life situations, filled with
competitiveness and resulting in
periodic successes.
3. Boys develop best in an en-
vironment where decisions and ac-
tions are consistent and firm.
4. Boys develop best in an en-
vironment where they can fire.
quently make their own decisions
and have the responsibility of car
rying out these decisions.
5. Boys develop best in an en-
vironment where the adults work.
ing with them enjoy the expert
ence and frequently express this
satisfaction.
6. Boys develop best in an en-
vironment which includes not only
the interest but the active parti-
cipation and support of their par
ents.
Z. Boys develop best in an en-
vironment where adults conduct
themselves like adults.
s. Boys develop best in an en-
vironment where the expected out
comes are geared to age, ability,
understanding, and interests.
9. Boys develop best in an en-
vironment which is challenging
and necessitates considerable emo
tional and physical effort.
This is the first of a series of
three articles taken from DR..
Hale's speech at the Congress.
The other two will be entitled
"Parent-Son Relationship" and
Values in Little League"

duced by Norman G. Wilder. The
trend in vast increase in deer
hunting, small game, fishing, as

the pictures, which were shots
taken in the various recreation
areas in this country. He urged
his hearers to join local conser-,

TIME OF THE TWISTER
Springtime is tornado time

Springtime is tornado time.
In the unstable transition from
winter cold to summer heat,
great masses of cold and warm
air collide. When the heavier
cold air is forced above the light
er warm air, tunnels sometimes
form to relieve the topsy-turvy
situation. This is the twister.
SOME 800 TORNADOES boil up
each year in the United States.
When they strike, local civil de-
tense and the Red Cross speed to
the rescue.
Spring Is the time for
special weather eye to the
tornado-spawning southwest.
Last year, for instance, every
major tornado occurred be-
tween February and May. On
one day-ApriI 3-four giant
twisters killed 30 persons, in
jured AIS and caused an esti-
mated 1880, 900 damage.
There is no way to prevent a
tornado. But early warning, prop
er precautions and speedy rescue
OF victims can save lives. In ad-
dition, disaster funds admins
tered by the Federal Civil Defense
Administratio can provide
emergency repairs and restora-
ton OF vital community facili-
ties when Federal assistance is
authorized by the President to
augment State and local efforts,
