.HallOwe'eners to
Parade Monday;
Announce Route

The committee at work on
the Halloween parade to be
held by the Smyrna-Clayton
Junior Chamber of Commerce
on Monday, October 81, has
prepared a brochure which will
be sent to all Jaycees and to
each unit taking part in the
parade, stating that the forma-
ton is scheduled for $50 p. M,
at the Smyrna Elementary
School, and the parade will
start promptly at 7:30 p. m
There are now twenty-five di-
vision entries. In order to ex-
pedite the formation and start
of the parade the Jaycees will
place numbered stakes on the
west side of School Lane from
the school back to Lake Drive
Entrants will have been given
numbers in advance and they
are asked to find their place in
the lineup by number, not by
name. Jaycees with flashlights
will assist in this phase. The
route follows: north on School
Lane to West Commerce Street;
east on West Commerce to Four
Corners; south on Main Street
to South Street; west on South
Street to Market Street Plaza
No vehicles will be allowed to
turn into the Plaza except floats,

masked and take part in the
parade. The reviewing stand
will be at the intersection OF
Market Street Plaza and Com.
merce Street, and the judges
will face the contestants as
they come forward on the Plaza

LIST District Man
Petitions Court
To Remove Names
From Voting List

A resident of the first repre-
sentative district, in one of the
first moves in years to update
the voting lists in Kent Coun-
ty, went into Superior Court to
petition the removal of $50
names, about ten percent of the
eligible voters of the district.
Robert L. Bamberger, through
his attorney, David P. Buckson,
commended that the $50 persons
named in the petition have lost
their eligibility to vote, either
through having become deceas-
ed or having moved from the
district. The court set October
Fl at 10 a. m. as the time and
date to hold hearing on the
motion. While Buckson was
presenting the motion, Max Ter
ry, secretary of the Kent Coun-
ity Democratic committee, came
into court on another matter
and asked to see the petition.
Buckson told him he could see
it after it is filed. During the
preliminary d JUS on with
Judge Storey, Terry indicated
that the Democrats would have
some ineligible names of their
own to petition off the lists and
Buckson said he would have
more to present. Judge Storey
said he will hold hearings on
such petitions right up until the
day before election if necessary.
Buckson gave out a list of the
names and said they were Sc
lected without regard to party.
Those found to be registered
who are not really eligible to
vote were included. All of the
names were from the first and
second voting districts OF the
First Representative District
where a tight race for state re-
preventative is under way be-
tween Harry c. Johnson, re-
tired mail carrier, and Glenn
Busker, Democrat. Bamberger
said the Department of Elec-
lions was notified of his actions
and so were persons affected,
wherever possible. The first dis
trict includes most of the towns
of Smyrna and Clayton and ex-
tends eastward to Delaware Bay.
Names of deceased persons
were listed in the petition. Most
of the names, however were of
persons who have moved from
the district, some to places as
distant as Florida, Texas, Iowa,
and California. The petition al

Rollins Suggests
School Building
Program Change

John Rollins, Republican can
didate for Governor, proposed
this week that school construc-
ton procedures in Delaware be
modified to insure full value for
our money. 1--WE now appropri-
ate," he said, "a fixed sum for
a school and then draw up plans
on which contractors bid to
build the structure. Such plan
invites unnecessary expenditure.
Instead, we should survey the
districts needs for classroom
space, design the school to sat
isfy these needs, and then auth
oriZe the expenditure on the
basis of firm bids. This is the
way business handles construc-
ton projects, and it works sue
cessfully. We should use this
technique for school construc-
ton to save Delaware money
for other worthy uses" Mr.. Rol-
Inns said that such a program
would require intelligent plan
ming for the future. He said
that when elected Governor, he
will make use of a recently-com-
pleted major study by leading
educators in the United States.
He said he will work with Del
aware educators and laymen
throughout the state to develop
a legislative program that will
meet Delaware's educational
needs. MIR. Rollins noted that
"Our country is dedicated to
the free education of all-equal
opportunity for the children in
the rural areas, and for the rich
and poor alike in our large cit
les. The complete education of
all is the one sure way to up
grade our entire state, With
the whole-hearted support of
every citizen, Delaware schools
can be the best! / call on Del
awareans to recognize their OBJ
legation to educate good citizens
who will be equal to the moral
and the intellectual challenges
of our times"

Tells ROtarians
OF Experiences
In Congo Affair

Sergt. Fred Keiser, u. S. All

the crew severely beaten in the
Congo, told of his experiences
at the meeting of the Smyrna
Rotary Club last Thursday night,
Clarence S. Collins, Jr., was pro-
gram chairman. Telling of the
airfift by crews from Dover base
to Stanleyville, he spoke of the
surprise and shock of the un.
expected attack on the unarmed
airmen. 1t was felt by the crew
that it was a planned incident;
they had been down forty-five
minutes when soldiers came on
board and ordered them off.
,Sergt. Keiser paid the highest
tribute to the Philippians, a fine
people, who helped the crew
men get away, and their medi-
cal staff did an outstanding job.
They should be recognized for
their assistance, he said. At the
hospital at Leopoldville, where
they were taken before being
flown to Germany, he said it
was modern university hos
pital, but they have a small
staff, little food, and supplies
are limited. However, they had
fine treatment. The situation in
the Congo he described as "sad;"
the people need help, and many
are starving. The people are
not ready for independence, the
young airman stated; the gov
eminent changes hands fire.

ing the men suffered, he said,
his injuries required sixteen
stitches; he was beaten in the
head and across the small OF
the back. A bone injury led to
the news that he had suffered
a fractured skull at the time of
the incident. A native of the
state of Tennessee, he now lives
in Smyrna. William E. Matt
news, Jr., in the response, told
the Rotarians that Smyrna is
proud of the part Sergt. Keiser
plays in community affairs. He
is an active member of the Cit
liens Hose Company, and an

His wife is a member of the

To Be HOnored

the birth of Juliette Low, the
founder. In keeping with the

or the founders of scouting in
the local communities. Among
those honored will be Mrs.
Thomas w. Russell, the found
er of the first troop in the Smy-
rna-Clayton area. Mrs. Russell,
who had moved from Athens,
Pennsylvania to Smyrna in 1887
was dismayed to find no troop
here for her two daughters, al
ready registered Girl Scouts.
She secured the sponsorship of
the Twentieth Century Club of
Smyrna, and since she could
find no one interested in being
a leader, decided to take it upon
herself. The first week in Sep
TENDER, 1889, fin response to
her invitation, forty girls ap-
peared at the club house, and
Lone Troop / was organized.
The first troop committee men,
bers were Mrs. Francis J.O'Neill
ST., chairman, Mrs. Clark Knots.
Mrs. Lee Gooden, and Mrs.
George Boelmler. In 1916 the
first Brownie Troop was organ
lied at Asbury Methodist Church
with the Harvey c. Jones Class
as sponsors, and Mrs. John Fear
on as leader. AS the need grew
other troops were organized
both in Smyrna and Clayton. In
order to promote the work, the
Smyrna Girl Scout Association
was formed, with Mrs. James
Merrill as chairman. When the
association bee a m e affiliated
with Wilmington Area there
were nine troops. In 1913 Deg
ion Girl Scouts of America
awarded Mrs. Russell a scholar
hip at Camp Edith Macy Ma
tional Training School for lead
ers. At the same time she was
appointed Lone Troop consult
ant for Region 8. In that ca
pacity she assisted in organizing
troops and training leaders in
Kent and Sussex Counties and
in nearby Maryland communit-
les. Later, under the Whining
ton Council, she became volun-
teer trainer for Appoquinimink
District. Mrs. Russell was lead
er of Troop l for fourteen years.
During that time the troop was
engaged in many varied pro-
jects, especially in the fields of
outdoor life, community service,
and international Fri e n dship.
