Injuries Fatal To -Four
LOlUer DeLaIU0re Folks
CONTINUED from page one)


Investigation of PowelTs death
is being continued The final report
is awaiting completion of an au-
topsy.
Columbia Street slants down to-
ward the river and ends at mar
row 200-foot long path which leads
to the river.
Powell's car ran off the street
end, down the pathway, and jump
ed an abutment at the rivers edge.
Police said Powell had been de-
pressed over his health and MEM
bers of his family said he was SUBJ
ject to fainting spells. Indications
were that had Powell been con-
scious at the time his car ran off
the end of Columbia Street, he
could have stopped or turned from
the rivers edge before reaching it.
Powell, a veteran of World War
/, had with his wife served for sew
eral years as caretaker of the ].
B. Smith property, recently acquir-
ed by Milford as site for a new
public library.
Two down-state residents, one a
pedestrian, who we're injured in
automobile accidents during the
past weekend, died in separate
hospitals Tuesday.
Lawrence Joseph Burris, Al, of
Clayton, the pedestrian, died Tues
day morning at 11:48 in the Kent
General Hospital at Dover.
Leonard Franklin Kitchens, SO,
of Georgetown, died Tuesday night
shortly before p. m. in the Mil
ford Memorial Hospital.
The two deaths raised Delaware's
1859 highway fatality toll so far
this year to %, this is one less
killed in the state than for the
corresponding period of 1858.
Burris, according to state police,
was walking on Route 113 just
south of Dover when he was struck
by an automobile operated by YER
non G. Manuel, 40, of Rodney Will
age, Dover. He received a frac-
tured skull and fractures of the
left arm and left leg.
State police at Georgetown said
Kitchens, with his wife, Mrs. Anna
Kitchens, II, was hurt when his
car ran off Route 113 about one
half mile south of Lincoln and
crashed into a tree.
Police said Kitchens, who was
travelling north at the time, appar-
emily tainted behind the wheel. His
wife, who was also injured, was
treated at the same hospital.

Staytonsville Church
Site Is Cleaned-Up

well known persons of yesteryear
lie buried, became sort of will
derness, a refuge for wild life
such as skunks and 'possums.
A short time ago, ]. Willis Cliff
ton, of Houston, whose grandfa-
ther and great-grandfather lie bur-
led there, visited with the writer
of this piece and encouraged the
writer to put an article in this pa
per seeking interest of people in
tearing down the remains of old
Lebanon and cleaning up the
graveyard.
John Annett, the unofficial May
or of Staytonsville, saw the ar
ticle and offered to do the job with
some of his retainers and volun-
teers including Florian Komoro-
ski.
The job has been accomplished
and there are bills to be paid.
About $4,000 is needed to pay help
other than the volunteers and to
make some necessary repairs to
the graveyard ornamentation and
cover some capped open graves. If
you are interested, dear reader, in
paying for the removal of what
had surely become an eyesore and
first class hazard, and if you
have loved one buried in the grave
yard, which is no longer a bramble
patch, send your check to j. Will
lis Clifton at Houston, Delaware.
Make the check payable to the
Friends of Old Staytonsville. Any
funds received over and above
those required to pay outstanding
obligations will be held in escrow
by Mr.. Clifton to help maintain
the graveyard in tidy condition.

MIDDLE-AGED JURORS

PEORIA, Ill. (P)- Middle-aged
women are becoming the back
bone of the jury system in Peoria.
Mrs. Gwendolyn Addy, chief
clerk Of the Peoria County Jury
Commission, says women whose
children are grown make the most
stable" selections.
Men seldom can afford to make
the financial sacrifice at $3.50 a
day. Younger women with child
rem cannot give the time, she says.

The blaze occurred when Charles

meet higher professional

for several groups to present

the forerunner Of all the
other blossom pageants that
attract so much attention
now" she said.
Miss Oak has been with
