The year-long and statewide "See

tourism promotion campaign, laun-
ched last Delaware Day" (Decem-
ber y is making considerable head
way according to David S. Hugg,
information officer of the Delaware
State Development Department,
which, with the Travel Council, is
sponsoring the states participa-
ton in the nationwide Visit the u.
S. A. in 1860" promotion.
In a report prepared for distri-
button at Thursday evenings an
nual dinner meeting, at Dover, of
the Travel Council, Mr.. Hugg has
summarized all that has been done
to date since the campaign was be-
gun.
According to the report, the mail
volume of the Development Depart
ment and other state tourist infor-
nation sources has increased con-
siderably in recent weeks with the
Development Department currently
handling as many as $50 inquiries
per day. Many of the inquirers,
according to Mr.. Hugg, are indi-
eating an intention to visit Della
ware this year.
The report also points out that,

In keeping with the tradition of
paying tribute to those who have
rendered service to mankind dur
ing their lifetime; the fifth and
sixth grade class gave a very fine
assembly program Friday. They
paid tribute TO one of our outstand-
ing presidents, Abraham Lincoln.
The theme of their program was
'sThe Liucolns Heed the Call of the
Frontier" The class very vividly
dramatized and told of the many
hardships, disappointments and dis
advantages encountered by the pi-
Oneer people of LincOln's time.
Amidst all of these circumstances
Abe Lincoln and others managed to
become outstanding and make great
contributions to the growth and
development of this country. The
class gave us many educational
facts and also entertained us with
their acting. Mr.. Summers is their
teacher.
The basketball picture has been
frightened at Banneker. As the

in which the Delaware Travel
Council is helping with the pro-
motion.
Credit is also given in the report
to various state agencies and or
ganizations who, in publicizing
their own particular attractions.
are heping advance the See the
First State-First" campaign.
Mr.. Hugg also calls attention to
displays being currently planned
for various out-of-state locations
One of these, scheduled for the fifth
annual Pennsylvania Recreation
and Sportsmen's Show at, Harris

will, according to the state infor-
nation officer. be viewed by as
many as 250,0O0 persons.
After pointing out that Delaware
has the smallest promotional bud
get of any of the fifty states, Mr..
Hugg advises that much of the pro-
gress currently being made in the
states tourism promotion cam
pagn is due to the support and CO.
operation of many Delawareans

willing to share it's historic
