Smyrna Rotary
Hears District
Gov. Nicholson

Rotary clubs in ll6 countries
are united in these difficult
times of international tensions
in an endeavor to promote un-
derstanding, good will and peace
throughout the world. This was
the message Osborne Nicholson,
of Ocean City, N. j., governor
of District 764 of Rotary Inter-
national, brought to the Rotar-
ians of Smyrna Thursday night,
following a conference with loc-
al Rotary officials. In addition to
the activities of the more than
10000 Rotary clubs within their
own communities to promote
this objective, Mr.. Nicholson ex-
planned, Rotary International has
awarded grants of more than
100000 in the past thirteen
years through its program of
student fellowships, which en-
able outstanding college gradu-
ates to study for one year in
countries other than their own,
as Rotary ambassadors of good
will. Since l947, when the pro-
gram was established, 1922 Ro-
tary Foundation Eel o wships
have been awarded to students
in 68 countries for study in AS
countries, with grants averaging
S2,500. Natalia Bohdan of Della
ware is the present Rotary Foun-
dation student from District 764,
and she will take her studies in
Mainz, Germany and will re-
turn to America in 1861. with
fellowship and service to others

a common ground for nearly
100000 business and profession
al executives throughout the
world, regardless of differing
nationalities or customs or lam
guages or political and religious
beliefs" the Rotary district gov
ernor emphasized. MIR. Nichol-

Census Bureau
Proves Age Of
Older Residents

Last year, 319 residents of
Delaware turned to the u. S.
Bureau of the Census for help
in proving they were born.
These persons were among an
estimated 80 million United
States residents who are with
out proof of age or birth. The
historical records of the Gems
us Bureau provide the only
source of this information for
most of these 80 million peo-
pie. Proof of age or birth is
needed today to collect social
security and other retirement
benefits. 1t is needed to obtain
passports. 1t is needed to quail
fly for jobs carrying certain age
or citizenship requirements. 1t
is needed for some forms of
insurance. Since 1920, the Cen
sus Bureau has provided more
than three and one-half million
persons with copies of their
Census records on age, place of
birth, citizenship, or kinship.
Persons seeking such records of
facts about themselves should
write to the Personal Census
Service Branch, Bureau of the
Census, Pittsburg, Kansas, for
Census Records Search Ap-
plication Form. A fee of $500
is charged for search of not
more than two censuses for one
person and for one copy of the
information found. Additional
copies cost $l.00 each. An ex-
pedited search costs $4,00. EX-
pedited searches are usually
completed within a few days
while the routine $500 search
may take up to 80 days, depend
ing upon the backlog of re-
quests and the ease or difficulty
in locating the information. The
personal information in the rec
ords of the 1900 and later Gen.
suses is confidential by law and
may be furnished only upon the
written request of the person
to whom it relates or, for a
proper purpose, a legal repre-
sentative such as guardian or
administrator of an estate. In
formation regarding a child who
has not reached legal age may
be obtained upon the written
request of either parent.

The cotIett Method
By LEONARD LYONS

NEW YORK-Walter Catlett,
the comedian who died In

markable career which SPAWNED
over so years on the stage and

Broadway fame in "Rio Rita, /"

some odd economies:
He refused to take any

fear Of salary attachments, he
insisted on being paid in cash
at the end Of each days work.

he'd have enough of "Catlett's
Wolf Powder-that is. a hoard
of canned foodstuffs. Whenever
he worked he bought this supply
of food to make sure that when
he was unemployed there'd
always be food to keep the wolf
from his door.
Catlett was content in Cali
fornia. In refusing a $1,500-a-
week offer to appear in a
Broadway musical, Catlett told
the producer. "See these Stacks
