Equality Is Key
To Lasting Peace
Students Told

In a stirring finale to a talk
on espionage and counter-intel-
ligence. DR.. Kurt D. Singer,
author and former newspaper
editor, told an assembly of sew
eral hundred students at John
Bassett Moore High School that
there is one thing they can't es-
cape, and that is the knowledge
that they are only eight jet
hours away from Asia and Afri-
ca where there are two billions
of people who must not be
swallowed up by Communism.
However, they are people of
color" and they ask not only a
handout but "the handshake of
equality" If we live up to our
ideals, he continued, and our
man power joins with them, the
students will be the first gen.
GRAFTON ever to live in peace. F"
DR.. Singer, born in Vienna, Aus
tria, but now an American cit
izen, is one of the foremost
authors of our day, and his
knowledge has made him a val
liable asset to American coun-
ter-intelligence agencies. Speak
ing on "Spies and Traitors, he
told of the scientific equipment
now available to spies, one of
the oldest of the professions,
and referred to Delilah in the
Bible, and to Mata Hari, and to
the espionage which proceeded
the attack on Pearl Harbor. He
also told of visiting Russian
schools during a world tour, of
the scarcity Of churches, and re-
marked that Mikoyan toured the
United States from coast to
coast but never was in a church.
Many students sought his auto
graph, and saw copies of his
books. He was introduced by
James Persinger, president of
Student Council and presented
by the Antrim Bureau, Philadel-
phia. He will speak at assem-
blies in many schools in Della
ware and Maryland, and is pre-
sently on a trip which includes
Middletown High School, and
the high schools in Sudlersville,
Md, Camden-Wyoming, Dover,
Laurel, Harrington, Milford, Re-

Trailer Fire Ties
Up Town Traffic

A minor fire in a discarded
trailer now used as a storage
shed caused considerable ex-
citement at noon Saturday be-
cause of the location and po-
tential for a serious blaze. The
building was located adjacent to
the garages owned by c. Leland
Harmonson and John Hurd, op-
posite the A & P Store on Mt.
Vernon Street, and the smoke
was visible in the whole down
town area. 1t was owned by Abe
Armstrong and the cause of the
blaze was not known. Thirty
volunteers of the Citizens Hose
Company responded and soon
had the fire under control. The
Smyrna police assisted with
diverting traffic from that block
on Mt. Vernon Street at the
Main Street intersection during
the busy noon hour at the ARP
Market. The loss was not esti-
mated.

Cancer Crusade Canvass Will be Started Next Week

The Cancer Crusade will be con- ducted in Nome from May 25 to June 8, it has been announced by Verna von der Heydt, unit chairman.
 T During that two-week period, homes and business houses will be canvassed by the following volun- teer committee: Ruth Mclean, Audrey Bayer, Peggy Kelliher, Roberta Snyder, Mary Diede, Ella Tanner, Louise Bockman, Dorothy Young, Edith Hough, Carrie Me Lain, Dorcas Brown and Alma Glavinovich.
 Anyone neglected in contact, who wishes to make a contribu- ton, may make their checks pay able to the American Cancer So- ciety, and give them to any of these women.
 The fact is that at present an additional 75,000 lives could be saved from cancer if available knowledge and techniques were applied by all. This would result in a substantial reduction of the 260,0OO who now die each year from the malignancy. Remarkable progress in cancer control in re- cent years has made urgent the need to step up the attack on the disease, which will strike some 40,OO0,0O0 Americans now alive, if present rates continue.
