Quarter HOrsemen
Plan Organization

Formation of a Delaware
Quarter Horse Association was
discussed at meeting of own
erS and enthusiasts Saturday
evening at the home of MIR. and
Mrs. Allen S. Daniels, Town
send. 1t was explained that the
local organization would not be
affiliated in any way with the
American Quarter Horse Asso-
citation which has headquarters
in Amarillo, Texas. Rules and
regulations for approved shows,
however, would be the same.
Possibilities for sponsoring a
show in the spring or summer
of 1860 were considered by the
group, which expressed intense
interest in all phases of quarter
horse activities. A statewide
meeting of interested persons
will be held Oct. IA at 5 pm. at
the home of MIR. and Mrs. Will
liam K. Smith, Jr., Townsend.
Officers will be elected and
plans formulated for the years
program. Participating in the in
itial organization meeting were
MIR. and Mrs. Gordon Kyle, Mr..
and Mrs. Elmer Raab, MIR. and
Mrs. William K. Smith, Jr., Mr..
Daniel Price, Jr., and MIR. and
Mrs. Daniels.

Baseball Field
Is Satisfactory

Final payment of funds for
construction of a new baseball
diamond at the Smyrna Elemen-
tary School was considered at a
meeting of the Board of Educa-
tion last night. Members of the
board and district building COM
mission were assisted in their
decision to accept the project
recently by a group of local
men. The group, consisting of
players of the Kenton and Clay
ton teams, played brief con-
test and found it to be quite sat-
isfactory. Robert Everett, Smyr-
ma High baseball coach, super
vised the activity. Players con-
ferred with the building COM
mission, reported that the field
was fairly hard, resulting in "a
fast ball." Spikes seemed to
break evenly into the mixture
of clay and sand being used in
the infield. Following it's accept
ance, the field will be used next
spring for home contests involv-
ing the high school and junior
high school baseball teams. Ele-
mentary pupils will also utilize
the facility during their physical
education periods. 1t was point
ed out that community groups
might also be interested in u.s.
ing the field for their games.

Cities owe a great deal to
private individuals who have
the courage to go ahead with
in-TUwn restoration projects.
Through their enterprise.
they help to forestall blight
in a specialized way. If they
choose neighborhoods that
are logical for redevelopment,
they may create other pri-

times a single project can

Up to now, no urban re-

FFoementotion Needed

Persons who have faith in
the neighborhood approach
believe that to attempt to
confront a Sprawling city
mass as a whole is to make
the problem of urban i'm
provement far more complex
and horrendous than it real
ly is. Instead, they suggest
that bold steps be taken to
fra gm ent unmanageable
masses, break them up into
obvious neighborhoods, and
create actual separations and
important boundaries, all ac-
cording to a logical plan.
From that point on, each
neighborhood can be rede-
veloped as an entity having
its own minimum standards
and character.
This, they contend, is a
proven method, with the VOL
ume and pace of achieve
ment depending only upon
how desirous the Federal
Government may be to have
the process of city decay re-
verSed so that cities may as
sumo new meaning and gain

aid.
The tempo of neighborhood
, upgrading would clearly de-
pend on financing available.
Private Improvements by in

firms within the city would
certainly need encourage

equal to those now available
