SlnanaerfeId Warns
Mail Ban On BingO
fcontinued from mage one)

His answer here is strictly on
legal consideration of the question.
He says: THE law says it is lot
terry. Under federal court decisions,
the classic identifications of lot
terry are consideration, chance and
prize" He also adds that there is
consideration in the form of the
fee paid to play. He then continues
his description: There is no
doubt that there is chance in bingo;
the prizes of cash or merchandise
are offered"
Any subterfuge of advertising a
game but yelling the play by elm
ination of the use of the word
.'bingo'' is knocked out by Mr..
Sainmerfield as devious way
around the issue.
He says that such as advertise
ment is still prohibited in the mails.
On this score he says: 'Bingo or
similar games using different
names, cannot be advertised in
any matter carried through the
mails. The law cannot be evaded by
such words as party or games
or Big Game Wednesday Night
or by merely printing IS. If the
advertisement in fact relates to a
lottery, it is a violation of the fed
eral law"
Charitable nature of the sponsor
ing groups is shown by the POST
master Generals analysis of the
situation to have no influence what
ever. In this regard he writes:
"The postal lottery law makes no
exceptions in favor of lotteries
conducted for worthy causes, or
which might be regarded as lit
tie rattle"
In his conclusion of the COM
munication to the Delaware Bingo
Control Commission the Postmas-
ter General said: 81 .hope that
these answers will aid in public
understanding of these laws, which
the Post Office Department is duty
bound to enforce"
Mr.. Summerfield's information
supplements the control commits
sions regulations, patterned after
those of other states in which bingo
has been legalized, in regard to
advertising which prohibits any me-
dunn being used except "0ne sign
not exceeding IL square feet in
area, which may be displayed on
or adjacent to the premises where
the game will be played" The state
prohibition includes television, ra-
dio, sound trucks, billboards, and
posters as well as newspapers and
mailed matter

led career. spent in teaching, adyer-
tising and publishing.
Mr.. Hynson taught public speak
ing, called eIocution ia those days,
at Delaware College (now the Uni
versity of Delaware) and at Mar
ietta College, Ohio. On his return
to Milford, he became associated
with his brother Henry whe. owned
and published the Milford News
and Advertiser until his death in
1897. In 1899 Mr.. George B. Hyn-
son land Mr. Robert J. Mears as
sumed the management of it. 1t
was during this time that the book
Historical Etchings of Milford and
Vicinity was compiled and publish
ed by the two men. This history
grew out of the idea of writing a
series of articles for publication in
the Peninsular News and Adver-
tiser. AS the work progressed and
interest in it increased, the decis-
ion was reached to preserve the
material in permanent form. The
result was that book now priced
so highly by those fortunate enough
to own copy.
Mr. Hynson left The News to
become editor of the Evening
Journal in Wilmington. From that
position he returned to Milford to
act as advertising manager for the
L. d. Caulk Co. His last business
venture was the operation of the
Biddle Press in Philadelphia of
which he was owner and manager.
. "Mr Hynson's love of Delaware
and of the simplicity of life here is
shown in his poems Have you
ever read his poem In Coca Old
Sussex County, Bobby?"
mo, l haven't, Aunt Molly. Do
you have it?"
Yes. l have, Bobby. Let's read
part of it.
In good old Sessex County,
down in little Delaware,
l often say to my old wife,
I'm glad we're livin' there.
The country's kind cf humble
like, a-stretchin' to the sea,
1t amt stylish lookin' place,
and don't pretend to be;
They amt a mountain any,
where a-holdin' up its head;
They amt no rocks, but only
sand a-shinin' there instead,
But they's allus welcome fer
ye, you can feel it in the air,
In good old Sessex County,
down in little Delaware.
The sweetest kind of music is
the rustic of the corn,
And the whippoorwills a-callin'
in the early Of the morn,
And the bees among the clover
hummin' sech a lovely tune,
That a feller'd be contented
with an everlastin' JUEe.

sun and then the summer
rain,
That teches up the dusty grass,
and makes it smile again,

sThere is much more, but it
would take too much time to read
all of it.
"In 1920 Mr.. Hynson published a
book of his poems called Down
Yon and Thereabouts which is now
a collectors item. AS the title
suggests, this is book of homely
verses about country life in Della
ware.
'sThe contribution for which he
is best known and loved is the
song Our Delaware written by him
in 1906 and later set TO music by
Will NJ. S. Brown of Wilmington
On April 7, 1925, this poem was
adopted by the Legislature of Del
aware as the state song. Since
then his beautiful poem has been
sung in schools throughout the
state and at assemblies Of all
kinds.
Where did Mr.. Hynson live?"
"He lived at Ala N. w. Front
Street in the house occupied for
a number of years by the late Mr.
Charles White, opposite the Par
son Thorne house. Later he built
lovely home facing Kings High
way with the lake at his back
door. This house is No. Kings
Highway and is now occupied by
DR.. and Mrs. L. L. Fitchett
'Mr. Hynson died in Philadel-
phia on December 6. 1926, and was
buried in Odd Fellows Cemetery.

Marine Dress Uniform
Is a Hit With the Women

The new Marine Corps OFF,
GERS evening winter dress
uniform. with its gold-striped
trousers. red-lined long boz
lero-style jacket and red
cummerbund, has won the
plaudits Of the fair sex.
So much so, in fact. that
the Marine Corps. which goes
into summer uniform tomor-
row, is making an exception
for members Of the Women's
National Press Club.
The winter dress uniform
elected the admiration of the
Thespian- minded newswomen
who have been rehearsing
with the Marine Band in
preparation for their annual
Stunt Party on May 9.
So the bands director, 1t.
Col. Albert F. Schoepper, got
special permission from the
Marine Corps to wear the
high-collared dark serge
jacket in place of the sum-
mer white mess jacket in
which. according to uniform
regulations, he would have
appeared to conduct the band
on the night of the party.

suit the occasion. For con-
Quoting the Marine Band Or
eheatra &C formal whlte-tie
White House dinners. for ex-
ample. he would wear the
evening dress jacket which
winter or summer uniform
regulations stipulated. with
substitution Of a white waist
coat beneath the jacket In
stead OF the red cummerbund.
In addition 10 all the uni
forms required by Marine
Corps regulations. his ward
robe must also include the
band directors full dress.
which he wears at all public
performances Of the band.
The most ornate OF the uni
forms. the dark serge jacket.
has i've rows Of gold braid.
three rows OF gold buttons.
gold epaulets and gold aiguil-
lettes and shoulder knots.
Col. Schoepper always wears
this jacket when he conducts
the band on its annual nine
week swing around the
country. With two concerts
q day scheduled. the band
sometimes plays 10 as many
as $4,000 people in one day.
Tour In September
For this years tour. which
begins in September. Col.
Schoepper has already lined
up engagements to I'LL SO
days. Thus he estimates he'll
wear the band directors uni
form 126 times, This means
he must carry along two
extra changes. It also means
that such constant wear and
tear means replacement Of
all that gold braid. sometimes
as often as every two years.
This year he hopes he can
obtain permission also to wear
the formal evening dress on
tour because Of its popular
appeal.
The l03-member band,
which offers its services to
patriotic organizations and
hospitals as well as for White
House functions and Federal
Government ceremonies, sell
dom appears in its entirety
except at presidential inau-
gurations. large parades and
the summer concert series at
the Watergate. Depending on
the need to be filled, it can
appear as a full concert or
chestra or a string ensemble.

these, especially the larger

No doubt about it. The

dress.

for social life, cultural ex-
preston and as the eco
nomic shock absorber, fol-
lowing an illness, injury
and even death.
A number Of these societies
sprang up. The oldest began
on September 2, 1894, with
the federation of six indepen-
dent lodges functioning in
Benwood, w. Va; Pittsburgh,
McKeesport, Etna, j o h n g.
town, and Rankin, Pa.
In 1897 this "Croatian
Union" became the National
Croatian Society" and quickly
acquired affiliates throughout
the U. S. and Canada.
CFU Becomes Reality
Within the first quarter of
the Goth Century a number of
other Croatian societi e 8
sprang up and prospered.
However in 1925 a merger
Of the National Croatian So
ciety, the Croatian League
Of Illinois and the St. Joseph
Society Of Kansas City
brought about the fraternal
giant known as the Croatian
Fraternal Union of America.
Since that date more than q
d oxen other Independent
groups have been absorbed.
The Society has spread
and prospered until today it
ranks as the oath largest
fraternal benefit society on
the North American Con-
tinent which houses some
200 such organizations.
At the end of the year 1857
our Union stood at an all-time
high in all three of the follow
ing categories: 100000 men,
bers; $26,OOO,0OO assets;
$87, 100000 insurance in
force. A far cry indeed from
the original 600 members and
$42.52 in cash.
Coming from a land which
covers but some 10000
square miles, our pioneers can
we'll be proud of their frater-
nal empire which now spans
the 100000 SO. mile North
American Continent.
Their fraternal zeal, coup
led with the boundless plen-
titude that is America, pro-
duced an organization of
which we can all be proud.

Historical Synopsis
Though a close perusal of
historical records would, no
doubt, disclose early Croat
settlers in America, perhaps
some even with Columbus on
his epochal westward journey,
the great influx of these
South Slav people took place
in the last quarter of the 10th
century.
Coming to a strange land
where language and customs
imposed almost insurmount-
able social barriers and where,
because of the additional
handicap of little or no educa-
ton, they could obtain only
the most dangerous and the
lowest paid jobs, they soon
felt the need of a fraternal
benefit society.
Such an organization
could serve as the medium
