VALLEY FORGE
PLANS SERVICE
35th Annual Delaware State
Sunday Service at Historic
Shrine Sunday, Jan. )
BUCKSON TO SPEAK

Plans have been completed for
the thirty-fifth annual Delaware
State Sunday service in Washing
ton Memorial Chapel, Valley
Forge, Pa, it has been announced
by the Delaware State Develop
ment Department. Governor j..
Caleb Boggs has designated 1t.
Gov. David P. Buckson of Smyrna
as the speaker for Sunday, Janu-
ary 5. The service will begin
promptly at 8 pm, according to
DR.. John Robbins Hart, rector of
Memorial Chapel and president of
the Valley Forge Historical So
ciety. AS in previous years, mem
bers of the Delaware Chapters,
Sons and Daughters of the Amer
lean Revolution will form a motor
pilgrimage to the American
shrine. Special music will be pre-
sented by the choir of First and
Central Presbyterian Church, Will
mington, with Wallace Heaton
serving as director and organist.
The public is cordially invited to
attend. The custom of holding
weekly services dedicated to the
states was established in 1928 by
he late DR.. w. Herbert Burk, who
was largely responsible for having
the Memorial Chapel built on the
site where General George Wash
ington's Continentals suffered their
greatest privation during the new
nations fight for freedom. Della
ware gets the signal honor of
holding the initial service each
year because it was first to ratify
the Federal Constitution. The
states are honored in the order
in which they joined the union,
according to DR.. Hart. Follow
ing the address, it is expected
that there will be brief concert
on the carillions in the tower pre-
sented by the Daughters of the
American Revolution. Tea will be
served for Delaware visitors and
there will be a tour of the adjac-
ent museum and grounds under
personal supervision of DR.. Hart.
