Dover's Fleming and Goodwin
USAR Center memorializes the
only two men from Dover to be
killed in action during the Korean
conflict.
The as-yet-unnamed Reserve
Center in Lewes has been in use
since last Spring. Lewes Reserv-
lists formerly trained at Fort
Miles. Seaford's Reservists only
recently completed moving into
their new training facility. They
had been training in leased quar-
ters.
Individuals selected for mem-
orialization must be natives or
established members of the area
or community in which the Re-
serve Center is located.
Readers of this newspaper can
give the Army a helping hand by
mailing the name of any soldier
that they feel might qualify to

Local crime and traffic accidents
can be sharply reduced at night by
strategic lighting. Yet, at least nine
tenthS of the nations streets are in
adequately lighted for safety after
dark, says Rodgers d. Wheaton,
president, Line Materials Indus
tries, McGraw-EdiSon Company.
The boom in suburban building
where whole new communities have
sprung up plus the nations tremen-
douS MISUNDERSTANDING program are
major factors.
Conversely, retail business
always increases with the addition
of added lighting in downtown
areas, Mr.. Wheaton said. His di-
vision is leader in street and high
way illumination.
The latest developments in pres
ent day Streetlighting are direct
descendants of exterior lighting de-
veloped by Thomas A. Edison, the
great inventor who was a CO.
founder of McGraw-Edison. On
New Years Eve 1880, Mr.. Edison
gave the first demonstration of out
door lighting at Menlo Park. More
than 5000 people brought up by
special train attended.
Crime reduction is one of the
immediate benefits of improved
Streetlighting today, Mr.. Wheaton
said. ]. Edgar Hoover, chief of the
Federal Bureau of Investigation
and local police pretty much agree
that crime occurs more frequently
at nighttime and seems to be more
common in poorly lighted areas.
Reports from Cleveland, Ohio,
for example, show that assaults on
women decreased as much as 81
percent when a relighting program
was only one-third completed. The
police chief in Denver says aggra-
waited assaults were cut 80 percent
after lighting improvements were
made.

cost some $350,OO0,OO0 a year in

News OF Interest
For Veterans

All Delaware area veterans,
widows and orphans receiving PEN
sions from the Veterans Admin
September checks summary of
the provisions of the Veterans
Pension Act of 1859 enacted by the
seth Congress, Leon Fields, Man
ager VA Regional Office announc-
ed today.
Veterans who receive compen
sation checks for service-connect-
ed disabilities will not receive in
formation about the new law be-
cause it does not apply to them.
All who do not receive the sum-
mary of the new law with their
checks, may be assured the new
law does not apply to them, he
emphasized.
The new law provides that the
amount of pension will be based
on the amount of other income
which the veteran or dependent
receives, Mr. Fields said. The
greater the other income the low
er the pension and vice versa.
The new law will not be effec
tive until July 1, 1860, the VA
official stressed. 1t will govern
all applications for pensions af-
ter that date. Those already on
the pension rolls will be affected
only if they choose to change to
the new system.
He repeated that veterans and
dependents need not write direct
ly to the VA about their pensions.
All who have an option under the
new labor will receive q summary
Of the new system in September,
to be followed at a later date by
detailed analysis of the new
pension act.
Those having a choice under
the new law will be invited to
make it with care after they are
familiar with the provisions, be-
cause any change received by the
VA is irrevocable. Those who
change to the new system will not
be permitted to return to the pres
ent system, Mr.. Fields added.
Veterans who were discharged
as aliens during World War l, may
be entitled to pension or compen-
sation as result of a law re-
Gently signed by President Eisen-
hover, Leon Fields, Manager, VA
Regional Office announced.
Prior to the new law, World
War I veterans discharged as
aliens were required to prove that
they did not request their own dis
charge. The new act, Public Law
86-113, presumes that these vet
Grams did not request their own
discharge unless the Government
establishes proof that they did, the
VAVA official said.
Although the VA will review all
such cases on file that can be
identified where claims for pen
sion or compensation have previous
ly been denied, Mr.. Fields sug-
gests that all veterans who be-
lieve they may be eligible for bene-
fits under this new law file their
claims at their earliest convent
ence.
In case the new claims are ap-
proved, Mr.. Fields, explained, the
benefit payments may begin as
of the date the claim was filed un-
der the new law.

nearly 10000 lives have also been
greatly reduced with better lighting.
ReIighting ID intersections in one
city reduced night accident losses
from 1880 in one year to So, ,020
in the next. Added cost of the light
ing $624.
The American Road Builders
Association reports that relighting
80 intersections in Los Angeles cut
deaths from II to one in compar-
able periods; of 81 miles in Hart
ford, from So to 13; of main streets
in Detroit, g to 2; of thorough
fares in Buffalo, from 66 to 27.
Sometimes, cities have obtained
remarkable results by just relight-
ing a few especially hazardous
stretches without tackling full-scale
programs all at once, Mr.. Wheaton
said. For example, II lives were
lost on three mile section of high
way entering Salt Lake City be-
fore such action; in a comparable
period afterward, only one was
killed. In Darby, pennsylvania, re.
lighting six main intersections
where six persons had been killed
completely eliminated deaths for
like period later.
AS for retail business, a poll Of
Chamber of Commerce officials
shows that SO percent believe better
lighting has resulted in improved
business, 78 percent say property
values have been increased and 90
percent say civic pride and prestige
have been enhanced.
This progress is particularly re-
markable because it is only since
1915 when bulb lamps began re-
placing arc lamps in outdoor light
ing that present concepts of street
lighting began.
McGraw-Edison Company re-
ports that the newest wrinkle in
street lighting is "Suburbanaire"
which turns itself on and off auto.
matically as a photocell senses
darkness and light in rural or sub.
urban homes.

Collection enforcement efforts by

In one case, where papers had

the taxpayer and his wife made
settlement on the final day. State
funds benefited to the tune of
$500.
AS the final warning date ap-

DEATH WATCHERS FOOLED AGAIN - SIR WINSTON STEPS OUT HALE, HEARTY NEAR S5

go in forever. At 85 he is in deniably feeble.
 He has trouble getting in and out of chairs and automobiles.
 When he reads his speeches, he often loses his place, or stumbles over familiar words.
 Yet, during the same fumbling speech, he will suddenly galvan- ize the audience and bring un- ashamed tears to many eyes with fleeting moments of his magic way with words.
 Words, spoken and written, have always fascinated him.
 "Short words" he once said, "are the best, and the old words - when short - are best of all.''
 A poor scholar as boy, he developed his scholarship rela- lively late.
 ''No one has ever passed so few examinations and received so many degrees" he once said.
 During his adult life Churchill has always liked alcoholic drinks, particularly oh mpa gne and brandy
 His likes and dislikes are strong.
 One of his pet hates is auto mobiles. He steadfastly refused to learn to drive.
 Once he observed: "I have a1- ways considered that the substi- tuition of the internal combustion engine for the horse marked a very gloomy milestone in the prog ress of man."

By EDDY GILMORE

LONDON, R - Three days be- for his 18th birthday, Sir Win ston Churchill is one of the most amazingly healthy ailing men in the world
 He is still one of the most quotable.
 "I am ready to meet my maker, !" he told friend not long ago. Whether my maker is ready to meet me is another matter"
 Victim of two major strokes, two bouts with pneumonia and numerous other ailments, his strength is remarkable.
 For at least 16 years he has been fooling people who dared predict he was near the end.
 In 1943, Field Marshal Lord Alanbrooke wrote in his diary that he was afraid Churchill was at last beginning to run down hill.
 The last scare about Churchill came last week.
 Because of a sudden indiSposi- ton, he had to cancel meetings with Chancellor Konrad Aden- auer. London editors stationed re- porters on a "death watch" at ChurchilPs front door.
 It was the same old story. The next day Britain's wartime lead CT was up and about, feeling fine. He talked 40 minutes with Adenauer.
 Even so, Sir Winston hates birthdays, for he knows he can't

Canaveral Moon Rocket Program Goes Ahead, Despite Big Atlas-Able Failure

Scientists are studying tele- metry data and launch movies to learn the cause.
 Focal point of the investigation was a mysterious piece of mater ial that fell from the rocket about 30 seconds after the launch. The chunk, which appeared to be on fire, spiraled slowly into the ocean a few miles offshore.
 Officials theorized it was part of protective fiberglass fairing that covered the third stage and the 372-pound satellite. The fair ing was to split in two and blow away when the rocket was out side the earth's dense atmosphere.
 It is believed the fairing may have broken prematurely, expos ing the uper stage and payload to intense friction.
 Had it been successful, the American satellite would have whirled into a lunar orbit and transmitted back crude pictures of the moons surface and other information on it's environment.
