College, Dover; Edwin F. Engle-
hart OF Caesar Rodney High

Margaret c. Hagarty of Claymont,
president of the English Section
of the Delaware State Education
Association; and Mrs. Melvin w.
Fell, of Rehoboth Beach, repre-
senting the Delaware State Fed
GRAFTON of Women's Clubs.
This committee subsequently in
vited the public to submit verses
suitable for possible use as an ad-
ditional or alternate stanza to Our
Delaware" ard which would per
tain to the state as a whole" and
which could be sung at public
statewide gatherings and else
where by everyone regardless of
the county of residence"
Ninety-five entries were received
by the committee. These were Civ
en- a preliminary screening and
then coded On May %, the COM
mittee met in Dover and working
only from coded copies of the en-
tries made a final-and, incident
ally, unanimOuS-selectiOn.
Our Delaware" presently con-
sists of three stanzas, each extoll-
ing the beauty and attractions of
different county. and a chorus.
While many residents of the state
are familiar with the words of the
chorus, it is assumed that COM
paratively few Delawareans know
more than one stanZa and this is
generally the one pertaining to the
county in which he or she lives.
Our Delaware" originally ap-
peared as a poem by the late
George B. Hynson of Milford. 1t
was set to music by William M. S.
Brown in 1906 and subsequently
copyrighted by the Brown and Ed
wards Music Company Of Whining
ton. When this copyright expired,
it entered the public domain.
1t was officially adopted as Del
aware's State Song on April z,
1925, and has continued to retain
such status.
A special band arrangement of
"Our Delaware" was obtained some
years ago and this was copyright
ed in the name of the State of Del
aware. In the event that an addi-
tional stanza is eventually added
to the State Song it most likely
will be copyrighted in the name
of the State of Delaware.
The Joint Resolution, providing
for gubernatorial appointment of
the newly announced committee
and outlining the duties of this
COMMITTEES, provides that any addi.-
tional stanza must receive "gen-
eral acceptance" over a two-year
trial period before the General AS
sembly will consider action lead
ing to making the stanza officially
part of the State Song.
Copies of the proposed addition
al stanza will be prepared by Mr..
Hart's office for distribution to
schools. Individuals and interested
organizations may obtain copies

Capitol Visit by 1900
Wins Delay on Ship

A one-day WASHINGTON in
vasion by 1900 Brooklyn Navy
Shipyard workers has won for
them at least a one-month
delay in the Navy's plans to
build a $293 million super
carrier in a private shipyard.
The workers fight TO get the
big contract turned into a
political fracas on the Capitol
grounds-with New York's Re-
publican Senators JavitS and
Heating vying with the Demo-
cratic presidential nominee,
Senator Kennedy, for the
workers favor.
The Republicans must have
won the first round, for it was
Senator Javits who announced
that Navy officials had agreed
to hold up the awarding of
the contract until September
l9. Meanwhile. Navy officials
will meet with Brooklyn Metal
Trades Council officials in an
effort to iron out differences
over construction costs.
Promised Support
Announcement of the con-
tract delay followed a meeting
of so of the visiting Brooklyn
workers and New York legiSla-
tors. Earlier, Senators JavitS
and Heating had faced the
workers in the Capitol'S north
yard. Standing on stone wall,
they promised all the support
they could muster.
The Republicans hardly had
disappeared when Senator Ken
nedy arrived with his brother,
Robert. Unable to speak because
Of a sore throat. the Senator
turned that job over to Robert
while he signed autographs
The Kennedys also promised to
help all they could.
Usually the Navy alternates
its shipbuilding between Gov
eminent and private shipyards
and this was the Government
