Long Poultry Career
Mr.. Murray is a grower,
hatcheryman and feed man of
Ocean View, Del In awarding the
citation, G. Ed McCauley of Sea-
ford, DEL, president of the Delmar-
va Poultry Industry Association,
noted that Murray had built his
first poultry house in the middle
nineteen-twenties, that he had de-
signed the first bulk feed bin used
on the Delmarva Peninsula, was
responsible for designing auto
matte window ventilators for poul-
try houses and had shown the way
to the industry in many cost-cutt-
ing improvements.
This was certainly Delaware's
year for prize-winning in the con-
tests of the annual Delmarva
Chicken Festival. Last Friday the
top winners of the Junior Chicken
Cooking Contest were from George
town and Seaford respectively
Third place was taken by Linda
Doran from Montclair, N. J.
William Charles Jones, II years
old RD1, Georgetown, won top
hOnors with "Delmarva Stuffed
Broilers". Billy was third last
year and considers the festival
the most important thing that ever
happened to him in his life. He
plays baseball but his real love is
midget cars. His sister took third
place in 1858 at Harrington, and
the whole family considers chicken
their favorite dish.
Second place winner was De-
anna Mae Parker, of Seaford. She
goes to Seaford High School, is a
dancer, and finds that reading is
her favOrite hobby. She has never
competed before and neither has
any member of her family.
The youngsters could sympathize
with MON as they bent over their
hot stOves-50 of them, all spark
ling new. 1t was 81, degrees in
the Dover High School cafeteria
despite the efforts of a battery of
electric fans.
Last years champion, 16-year-
old Jimmy Bennett, of Salisbury
Md, was on hand to congratu-
late his successor at keeping the
title with the menfolks.
Only one other boy, however,
managed to get on the list of IL
prize winners. Jimmy Trumbauer,
an eighth7grader from Chester
town, Md, placed 10th.
Finishing behind the top three
in the junior contest, in order,
were: Carol Ann Brown, Smyrna;
Jeanne Martin, Harrington; Nancy
Brewington, Salisbury, Md; Nancy
G. Kitchens, Seaford; Lois Wiebel,
Hartly; Josephine Moore, Dover;
Jimmy Trumbauer, Chestertown,
Md; Joan Smith, White Hall, Md.
and Arlene Sinclair, Dover.
Besides the Junior Chicken
Cooking Contest, it was a big day
at the festival. Cooking was sup
posed to start at 9 a. m. but due
to one of those inexplicable events,
the power was off and everything
in the electric stoves got a late
start.
Billy was crowned and dressed
in his regal robes at 4:30 p. m. The
official GROWING was done by G.
Ed McCauley, president of the Del
marva Poultry Industry, Inc.
Announcement of other winners
and the prizes, given was made
by Mrs. Camuel Kendall, chairman
of the Junior and Senior Chicken
Cooking Contests.
A bright young housewife who
learned to cook the hard way-by
following her husband from Army
post to Army post-walked off with
top hOnOrs last Saturday evening
in the National Chicken Cooking
Contest, one of the closing events
of the 18th annual Delmarva Chic
ken Festival which opened in
Dover last Thursday.
