After hearing the story, the
officer transferred the Cutters to

Mrs. Cutler told the policeman
that she was going to have babies,

daylight Time Makes
BOIU This Sunday
Ccontinued from page one)


Iowa has no DIST. of its own.
but its border city of Davenport is
expected to adopt it if Illinois cities
across from the Mississippi River
do so.
The situation in Illinois, inciden-
tally, Is as confused as any in the
nation. About 80 per cent of its
population is expected to go on
DIST. until Oct. 25. Rural areas,
however, are divided-some stay
ing on standard time, others limit
ing D.S.T.to Sept. 27. Some coun-
ties cling to standard time while
the people in them operate on
DIST.
The Illinois legislature current
ly Is wrestling with a bill to bring
some statewide unification out of
this chaos.
Maryland is a state that has
DIST. from April 26 to October 25
except for the westernmost part
OF Garrett County. There court
house clocks are kept on standard
time, while most of the county OBJ
4. serves DIST.
Kentucky has the longest DIST.
period of any state-from April 26
to October 81. 1t is meaningless in
such cities as Lexington and Frank
fort, however, they maintain fast
time the year around.
Pennsylvania is another state
where uniformity is lacking. Phila-
delphia, Pittsburgh, Harrisburg and
most other cities go on fast time
from April 26 to October 26. Other
places end DIST. in September.
And still others don't have DIST.
at all.
In New Mexico, the only area that
goes on DIST. is Los Alamos Coun-
ty. Similarly, Missouri stays on
standard time except for the st.
Louis area.
Northeast Ohio, including such
industrial areas as Cleveland, Ak
ron, Youngstown, Canton and War
rem, go on DIST. But the rest of
the state stays an hour behind.
West Virginia's largest cities,
Charleston and Huntington, ignore
DIST But the eastern perimeter
has IL from April 26 to September
27. and the northern area until
October 25.

cottage at Slaughter Beach.
Before moving to Milford last
fall, Mrs. Clarke was an active and
participating member of the Par
ent Teacher Association of Clay
mont and has served on various
troop committees with the Brown
les. A former dental assistant,
Dot, as her friends call her, was
a Jill" of all trades, including be-
ing employed as a laboratory tech
nician at the Sun Oil Company.
She became interested in the
group working on behalf of retard-
ed children, and taught three years
in the Delaware day school for ham
dicapped children. During her third
year of teaching, the school was
sponsored by the State Board of
Education for the Child Develop
ment and Guidance program. Mrs.
Clarke has studied further in this
field with extension courses at the
University of Delaware. She be-
came a member of the Delaware
Branch of the International Couh-
Gil for Exceptional Children.
With all this talent, Mrs. Clarke
still found time to be active in the
Atonement Methodist Church of
Claymonty where she is a member.
The duties of our neighborhood
chairman will be varied and some
times entailed, but with Mrs.
Clarke's enthusiasm in tackling the
job, leaders and adult workers with
Girl Scouts should be inspired. She
will be our principal contact with
the newly formed Peninsula Girl
Scout Council.
We feel certain she will receive
the full cooperation of all in car
rying out council plans.
There will be a neighborhood
meeting at the New Century Club
on Thursday, April %, at $3.50 p.
m. Do come out and meet dot

Gov. Boggs Proclains
Loyalty Day May |
Chief Executive Calls For UndiVid-
ed Allegiance To u. 5. Govt.

Governor j. Caleb BoggS this
week called upon each Delaware
citizen ITO join in demonstration
of his or her undivided allegiance
to the government of the United
States and the ideals which it de-
fends and preserves" on Loyalty
Day" which the chief executive
proclaimed for observance May 1.
Governor Boggs' action followed
similar action taken by president
Eisenhower.
Governor Boggs also called at
tention to "V.F.W. Week, which,
in Delaware, will get under way
Sunday, April 26, with an observ-
ance at CoOch's Bridge, where the
Stars and Stripes were first un-
furled in battle.
Loyalty Day Observances are
annually sponsored throughout the
Nation by the Veterans of Foreign
Wars in an attempt to create nat
ional faith and to overcome the
propaganda of communism. This,
officials say, is more important
this year than ever before.
The text of Governor Boggs'
proclamation follows:
WHEREAS, an opportunity is
provided annually for every citizen
to reaffirm his faith in the United
States of America through a pro-
gram sponsored by the Veterans of
Foreign Wars of the United
States; and
WHEREAS, this day has now
been made an official day of OBJ
servance through the action of
Congress and the President of the
United States; and
WHEREAS, there have been pc
riodical attempts over the last two
centuries to stifie and destroy those
hardwon rights of free speech,
freedom of the press and the right
to worship as one chooses; and
WHEREAS, each of us should
make a personal pledge to uphold
these God-given rights as they are
outlined in the Declaration of In
dependence and the Constitution of
the United States, in the defense of
which thousands of our fighting
forces have died on battlefelds all
over the world; now;
THEREFORE,, 1, ]. CALEB
BOGGS, Governor of the State of
Delaware, following the example
set by President Dwight d. Eisen-
hover in Washington, hereby des-
ignate Friday, May /, 1859, as
LOYALTY DAY
also call attention to the fact
that this day climaxes the annual
VF.W. Week which will be OBJ
served throughout the First State
beginning Sunday, April 26, 1859.
/ urge that every man, woman
and child in Delaware join in a
demonstration of his or her undi-
vided allegiance to the government
of the United States and the ideals
which it defends and preserves.
l further hope that all civic
groups will join on that day, or
other days designated, to give ex-
preston to that Loyalty through
public demonstrations of all kinds;
through the display of our Nation
al and State emblems and through
cooperation with overseas veterans
whose devotion and courage con-
tinue in peace as sponsors of this
observance.

Another interesting display Is
the Sd exhibit entitled, a Close
Up Of Nursing. The facts and fig
ures contained herein may well
prove to be dramatic "eye-open-

enrolment compared to public
school enrolment: there is also
segment devoted to the financial
outlay to the student versus the
financial outlay to the hospital for
training her.
A tribute to all connected with
the hospital will be found in the

dividuals serving our communities.
Two other popular attractions
will be the Laboratory and x-ray

in this exhibit. Come and see the
