The two men, part of group
of 100 of the nations outstanding
farmers and ranchers, were select
ed by board of impartial judges,
composed of leading agriculturists,
in so competing units represent
ing every state except Alaska and
Hawaii.
The awards program is designed
to encourage good soil and water
conservation practices. During the
Il years that the Goodyear Com
pany has sponsored this activity it
has provided grand award vaca-
ton trips for 936 of the nations
leading agriculturists who have
through their local Conservation
Districts helped to establish Con-
seryation measures designed to
improve and protect much of the
Country's land, forests and water
resources.
While enjoying Arizona's sun
shine and desert air the men in
spected the States Conservation
and irrigation activities as well as
the farm operations on the Good
years model farm.
A report on the trip, will be pre-
sented by Mr. Short and Mr. Hud-

alton of Soil Conservation Districts

Signed to Ice Follies contracts
by Oscar Johnson, Eddie and Roy
Shipstad after they had won the
United States Gold Dance Cham
pionship for the second straight
year in 1859, Donald and Andree
are not only No. in the United
States but are second on this con-
tinent and in the world. They were
beaten in a photo-finish for the
worlds title by Courtney Jones
and Doreen Denny of Great Britain
and finished runners-up in the
North American championships.
While Andree is appearing here
for the first time, Don has often
been seen in exhibitions at the
Ardmore rink. He is a University
of Pennsylvania graduate (1953)
and a member of the Phi Delta
Theta fraternity. His wife, a Gam
ma Phi Beta studied ballet, tap and
acrobatic dancing before teaming
up for a skating pair.
The Jacobys romance began on
ice. They first met at Lake Placid
while training for the U. s.. anna
teur figure skating championships.
Then student at Northwestern
University, Andree Adele Ander-
son transferred to Syracuse Uni
versity in order to team in skat-
ing with Don. He was at that time
district manager for a Rochester

of the Junior Chamber of Com

''The Delaware regiment was

Mr.. Wood in his opening re-
marks said he was not inclined to
refer to the war for independence
as a revolution" within the ac-
cepted meaning of the word.
There is no semblance between
this war against the mother coun-
try and the revolution that was to
come later in France and certain
ly no comparison with the bloody
revolution that was to rage across
the steppeS and cities of Russia in
our own time, he pointed out.
after the war for independence"
Mr.. Wood continued, there were
no blood baths, no wholesale hang
ings or shootings of men who op-
posed the cause of the Congress
and General George Washington.
While loyalist families were de-
prived of their belongings, he said
that the early history of the ma
tion was not blotched with blood
and wild, uncontrolled counter
revolutions.
1--WE are not idle antiquarians
when we probe into history for
stories of men who fought for their
principles and died for them. Nor
are we snobbish generalogists when
we dig into the accumulated mass
of old documents and records in or
der to reconstruct the chronicles of
our heroes of yesterday.
1T is rather our duty to remem-
ber these patriots from our own
state and the vital roles they play
ed in building a new nation. If its
the thrill of adventure the excite
ment of conflict or the emotional
exuberance of drama we want-we
can find it all and more-in the
stories of men who were loyal to
Washington and the American
IDEAL, Mr.. Wood asserted.

with state assistance, rail lines
were first extended from Whining
ton south through Dover to the
Maryland line at what is now Del
mar. The building is to become
the future home of the State
Library Commission.
Transfer of deed was accom-
plished in the presence of approxi-
mately 80 persons, consisting prin-
cipally of state officials and repre-
sentatiyes of the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad Company and it's Della
ware Railroad subsidiary.
Governor ]. Caleb Boggs accept
ed, on behalf of the state, deed to
the former railroad property, and,
in turn, presented the shares of
Delaware Railroad Company stock,
formerly owned by the State of
Delaware, to John ID. Morris, Ches-
apeake Region manager of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company
and vice president of the Della
ware Railroad Company.
In addition to Governor Boggs
and Mr.. Morris the following were
active participants in the cere-
monies: Captain Herman H. Han
son, chairman of the State Library
Commission; Fulton Downing, of
Harrington, who is a member of
the State Library Commission
and a director of the Della
ware Railroad Company, was
instrumental in bringing about the
exchange; and Mrs. Virginia F. X.
Messick, state librarian.
The newly acquired State lii
brary Building was built in 1911,
replacing an. earlier station built
on the same site in 1860. Facing
out on Loockerman Street, which
terminates in a shrub-filled circle
before its main entrance, the build
ing presents an imposing appear
ance with large white wooden
columns extending to the second
story.
From 1911 to the end of World
War III, the building was a bee
hive of activity with trains arriv-
ing or departing on regular sched-
ule around the clock. In recent
years as automobiles and buses
have supplanted railroads as the
principal means of transportation
to Delaware communities and near
by areas, passenger service has
been reduced to just one north
bound and one south bound train
daily; passenger service for these
trains will now be provided through
use of the facilities of the nearby
Pennsylvania Railroad freight sta
ton.
