A Hero or A Heel, Which?

Arkansas been headed great governor hero of the
confederacy throughout the south and especially in the
of Arkansas. This famed lfamed recognition has
given to the governor for the he

is, what makes him a hero?
Is it because he has succeeded inurng America and

Evidently for him to be heraded a hero some of the

their own people, is lost at sea
without a compass, and without
hope. They are at the mercy of

of the American Negro since he

But thank God, the long and

This gives the American Negro

as much, if not more, than his

University News

Almost one-third of all Univer-
sity of Delaware students received
financial assistance toward their
education last year, DR.. John A.
Perkins, president, discloses in his
annual report for 1956-1957.
This year the university has the
stewardship of scholarship pro-
gram supported by state appropri-
ations, private donors and indus
trial and business firms, DR.. Per-
kins states.
Last year almost one third of
our students participated in this
program. the average aid per stu
dent being $325.00," he says.
A thorough investigation of the
financial requirements of each ap-
plicant is made before aid is given,
DR.. Perkins reveals. This is one
of the principal functions of the
dean of students office.
Occasionally, one hears criti-
cism of the university's detailed
inquiry into a students financial
circumstances, DR.. Perkins says.
"The university cannot in good con-
science award financial assistance
when it is not warranted.
students mistakenly often ac-
cept the scholarship with the high
est monetary award, failing to re-
late this to the total expense of at
tending a particular institution and
the actual out-of-pocket cost, Dr.
Perkins warns.
Later many of these students are
compelled to transfer to other uni
versities where costs are more rea-
sonable. Proper guidance could
have prevented this disillusioning
experience, Dr. Perkins believes.
Incre S e d appropriations for
scholarships and grants-in-aid by
the 18th General Assembly will
permit the University of Delaware
to assist greater numbers of Della
ware students in the future with
larger grants to meet growing col
lege expenses, DR. Perkins notes.
"No young person in Delaware
can yalidly offer the excuse that he
cannot AFFORD TO attend his state
university" DR.. Perkins declares

Suburban PrOpane
Gas Uses Tankers

WHIPPANY, N. J. With a
fleet of about seventy propane tank
cars and several transport trucks,
the Suburban Propane Gas Cor
poration transports product from
it's underground storage facilities
at Hartford, New York to many of
its districts along the East Coast.
Suburban Propane is the first
and only retail distributor in the
East with this type of storage.
Briefly, the underground storage is
created by drilling into the ground
until a solid layer of pure salt is
reached. Fresh water is then pump
ed into the salt formation where it
absorbs salt and returns to the
surface as brine. When the stor-
age space has reached the desired
size, the brine is displaced by
pumping in propane instead of
water. The propane is recovered by
reversing the procedure. 1t is fore
ed out by the brine which has been
stored i'm a nearby reservoir. The
propane then passes through de-
hydrating equipment and is loaded
iilO ldllh CdIS VI Ll&nopOlbo AOA
shipment to distributing plants.
Mark Anton, President, explain
ed that with underground storage,
Suburban Propane is in position
to buy large quantities of propane
during the sumner months when the
supply exceeds the. demand, and
have it on hand to meet the heavy
winter load which is being created
by the wide acceptance of gas for
home heating. "Other advan-
tages", he said, "are that we can
make use of transportation facili-
ties which normally lie idle during
the summer months; it enables us to
expand our activities into fields re-
quiring large quantities of pro-
pane during the winter months;
and il provides insurance against
transportation strikes or unavoid-
able transportation delays caused
by winter weather."
Suburban Propane first stored
propane in the salt cavern in the
summer of 1858. At that time half a
million gallons were put into the
cavern. Today this underground
storage holds eight million gallons
of propane.
Each tank car holds approxi-
mately 10000 gallons of liquid pro-
pane. In other words. if all 20 of
the Companys tank cars were to fill
up at one time it would hardly put
a dent in the Suburban Propane
reserve.
The Suburban Propane Gas Cor
poration is the largest independent
distributor OF propane. This COM
pany. which started as a one man
operation a little over 29 years
ago. now makes il possible for
close to half million families liv-
ing beyond the gas mains to en-
joy the comfort and convenience of
