Square Dance
Time

Thanks go to the Memorial Fire
Company at Slaughter Beach for
their invitation to the Diamond
State Twirlers square dance club
to dance in their fire hall last We'd
nesday evening as part of the
week-long celebration at Slaughter
Beach. Four squares of dancers
were on hand to dance to records
from $3.50 until IL o'clock. The
Club was greatly pleased at the
turnout of spectators who came to
watch this all-time favorite recrea-
tion. Some of the folks came early
and stayed right through until the
dancers called it a night, which
should be some indication that they
were enjoying watching the dane
ing. 1t is. to be hoped that some of
those present will be interested
enough to join the new class. Fri
day, September 25th is the starting
date, and Leon Billow of Severna
Park, Maryland, will be the teach
er. A good time is in store for all
those who decide to participate.
Contact any one of the members for
further details, or phone the Lam
berts at Garden 2-8239.
The practice sessions at the
Bowling Lanes which have been of
much value and considerable plea
sure to those wishing extra dancing
will, of necessity, be discontinued
as of September 1st.
Club starts September 18th at the
KiWaniS Building at 500 d. m
Anyone who has already had
square dance instruction and is in
terested in joining the Club itself
should contact the Chairman of the
membership Committee-the Will
lam Dellingers on Old Shawnee
Road, Milford.
Friday night was the last of the
summer series of dances sponsored
by the Y-KnOts in Chester, Penna.,
and the Kennerly Lamberts took
this opportunity for one more sum-
mer visit with their friends there.
The James Wellers, who were visit
ing in the city, also attended. This
club at the YMCA has a wonderful
half-hour workshop prior to the
dance session, in which the folks
from here. are always delighted to
participate.
Remember the Glass date-Sept-
ember 25th-and the Club date
September 18th. Time is fleeting-
join up for one of these soon.

house and this soon developed into
about fifty small cottages. Several
additional cottages on the beach
front subsequently appeared.
The annual Camp Meeting sess-
ions ceased about 1916 and virtu-
ally disappeared.
However, Fenwick Island was
subsequently re-discovered," and
new cottages, some built on state
owned land, soon appeared. Consid-
cradle state land was later sold to
individuals, and, in 1858, by act of
the Delaware Legislature, Fenwick
Island was incorporated and came
into its own as an organized COM
munity.
According to the Development
Department, Fenwick Island has
made tremendous strides forward
in recent years. Modern motels
and restaurants have been con-
structed and Fenwick Island has
become a favored recreational spot
of an increasing number of vaca-
tionists who enjoy its fine beach
and quiet atmosphere just a short
drive, north or south, from larger,
more populouS resorts. Several
large developments have appeared,
some offering small boat ancher-
age in backyard" man-made la
goons that connect with inland
waterways.
These lagoons, which possibly
had their origin in Florida, not
only provide water access to pro-
perties themselves. South Bethany,
a large Development north of Fen
wick Island, has 8 miles of such
waterways.
Completion in 1858 of the dredg-
ing of the nearby Assawoman Can
al, vital link in the inland water
way system connecting Delaware
Bay, at Lewes, with Chincoteague
Bay, in Virginia, has also served to
increase the areas popularity
among vacationists who are boat
ing enthusiasts, notes the Develop
ment Department.

approximately 140 firemen from
seven companies aided by number
OF townspeople.
The fire was raging by a. m.
when the FELTON, Company received
the alarm. w. r. Bratten, an en-
plOyee of Swift and Company,
turned it in. He was on his way
to work when he discovered the
flames.
The Ducat warehouse was To-
Gated in central FELTON, at Charts
MUD Street and Butterworth
Alley. The firm is owned by Nat
Ducat and Izzy PochTast of Phila-
delphia and FELTON,.
According to firemen most of
the company's trucks, which are
normally housed at the warehouse,
were out on runs, as most truckers
leave for the farms between IL p.
m. and 2 a. m. The company watch
man does not come to work until
z a. m. In addition to the build
ing, office equipment and a large
number of chicken coops were
lost.
The two-story frame home of
George Green on the southwest
corner of Charts Street and But
terworth Alley, directly opposite
the warehouse, was also burned
to the ground. The occupants of
the house managed to escape, but
could save nothing.
A A..s
the northeast corner, owned by
Mrs. Eve Hemple of Seaford, was
nearly destroyed. The building had
apartments on both the ground and
second floor on the warehouse side
Milford chronicle., 1959-08-28

and q taproom and liquor store on
its northern end.
Firemen said all the apartments
in the building were destroyed and
that the taproom was virtually de-
stroyed. They did save part of the
liquor store, which was in the part
of the building farthest from the
burning warehouse.
None of the persons living in
the apartments were injured. They
got out before the flames reached
them, according to firemen, but
all their belongings were lost.
The home of Edgar Kemp on the
fourth corner of the intersection,
and diagonally across from the
warehouse, did not catch fire, but
was badly scorched on the front
and side, firemen said.
Also burned were two cars, two
pickup trucks and a One-and-a-
half ton truck parked near the in
tersectiOn.
Volunteer firemen responded
from FELTON,, Dover, Camden
Wyoming, Frederick, Milford, Harr-
ington and Houston companies.
There were three children in
the Green home, four in the Hem
pei home. 1t was Green who, with
his leg in cast, repeatedly had
to crawl out of his burning home.
Also destroyed was a dwelling
that had not been occupied for
some years.,
Traffic was congested in the
area as employees at the nearby
Swift plant began arriving for
work at a. m. and found their
way blocked.

Al Recognition
Program BrOadened

In recent years the All program
has been broadened to give recog-
milton to former club members
through the All Alumni Recogni-
tion program introduced in 1858.
Since that time about 900 men and
women have been honored, reports
Kenneth H. Anderson, associate
director of the National Committee
on Boys and Girls Club Work.
This special program was plann-
ed and arranged by the Cooperative
Extension Service and the National
Committee, states Mr.. Anderson.
Sponsor of awards is the Olin
Mathieson Chemical Corporation,
Plant Food Division, Little Rock,
Arkansas.
The aim of the program is to
honor former All members who
have achieved success in their
chosen careers, and have contin-
ued to exemplify effective commun-
ity leadership and service to All,
Mr.. Henderson points out. There
are an estimated 20 million All
alumni in the United States today,
he says, who can encourage and in
spire two million plus boys and
girls who belong to over 10000
clubs.
Candidates for the alumni a.
wards are nominated by Extension
agents, local All leaders,, club
members or other interested per-
sons, Mr.. Anderson explains. De-
tailed information may be obtain
ed from the County Extension Of
flee.
Awards are given at the county,
state and national level. They con-
sist of certificates, plaques and the
gold All key presented to eight
national winners at the All Club
Congress in Chicago. Olin Math-
ieson also pays all expenses to the
Congress for recipients of the key
award, according to Mr.. Anderson.

M. Strauss Usefulness

The President does not believe that
the bitter fight in the Senate over con-
firmation of Lewis L. Strauss as Secre-
tary of Commerce has impaired the
latter's usefulness. Senator Monroney,
Democrat of Oklahoma, disagrees. He
thinks Mr.. Strauss might be able to
function satisfactorily in routine mat
tiers, but that he would have difficulty in
dealing with Congress on matters Of
substance.
This question Of impaired useful
ness, we suppose, is. something that
could be debated until the cows come
home. But we think it is question
which begs the real issue. This real
issue, assuming the fact Of impaired use
fulness, is concerned with how this has
come about.
If it could be attributed to some.
thing that Mr.. Strauss has done, then 1t
might be disqualification. But this Is
not the case. If Mr. Strauss usefulness
has been impaired, that is due to the
campaign of character assassination
which has been waged by his embittered
ana relentless enemies. and we do not
think that this can possibly be said to
disqualify Mr. Strauss for the post to
which he has been named. To argue
otherwise is to say that any nominee can
be disqualified by smear-type of attack
upon him, provided only that the attack
Is vicious enough and that enough SEN
ators join in it to create the appearance
Of substance. This would indeed result
in an intolerable situation.
Mr.. Strauss Is entitled to have his
qualification judged on the basis Of the
record-the record Of the charges
against him and his answers to those
charges. In this way, and only in this
way, will it be possible for the Senate
to distinguish between truth and excited
half-truth or even outright falsehood.

It's Time to Build

Eyerv time a crisis Is passed In the
Area C Redevelopment Project two new
ones seem TO spring up In Its place.
That has been the unfortunate life story
of the ambitious Southwest program,
and it is one we hope will not continue
now that a contract finally has been
signed with william Zeckendorf for con-
struction Of the Town Center shopping
apartment area. We don't mean to un-
derestimate the previous problems, for
they have been difficult. But as Rede-
velopment Land Agency Chairman John
Remon often has commented. it certainly
viii be nice to see something actually
built after five years of conversation.
At the contract-signing ceremonies,
mile-wreathed officials confidently pre-
dicted that Town Center construction
will begin within three months. RIA
says it will be ready to turn over land to
Mr.. Zeckendorf's firm, Webb g. Knapp,
by July A, after "a few last-minute tag
end problems" are cleaned up After
that, Webb & Knapp must begin paying
carrying charges on the land, regardless
Of when they start building. Mr.. Geek
endorf's people say they can't arrange
financing and bring in the bulldozers,
however, until they get mortgage COM
rnitment from the FHA. They applied
more than six months ago. How long can
1t take to process such an application?
Meanwhile, there Is understandable
enthusiasm about the newly presented
details of Mr.. Zeckendorf's $85 million
"plaza" development on each side Of
the proposed Tenth Street Mall in an
other part of the Southwest. AS pro-
posed, the plaza would require several
changes in the official redevelopment
plan already approved, including a
possible conflict with designs prepared
for the Southwest freeway. Any such
changes, Of course, should not be per-
United to delay the freeway construc-
ton. But we hope these differences are
resolved quickly, so that the attractive
and promising plaza project can pro-
coed at smoother, faster pace than
Its predecessors.
