Delaware's Liberty Bell
To Be Old Dover Day
Feature On May Z 4 5

In the belfry of the State House
of Delaware, the old bell cast IN
1853 was hung by Thomas Rodney
the brother of Caesar Rodney. The
old bell rang on many occasions
calling the people of Kent County
OF the Dover Green where import
ant news was read. It's loudest ring
was that of freedom as it told all
of the vote cast for independence
Here on The Green, in Dover, the
picture of the King of Great Bri-
tain, King George II was committed
to a bonfire with these words
Compelled by strong necessity
thus we destroy even the shadow of
that King who refused to reign
over free people.
The bell will be on display dur
ing Dover Days as will many old
homes as the "Ridgely House" built
in 1928, ""Aspendale" the home of
Donald Van Lear Downs, descen-
dant of Charles Numbers, who built
this house in It'll. 1t is preserved
remarkably and is said to be one
of the finest examples in our coun-
try. It even included the original
paint applied in 1771, and of course,
many other old homes will be open
to the public.
On Saturday the homes and gar
dens will open from IL a. m. to D.
m with folk dances on The Green
at IL a. NJ 2 to p. m. the COVER
nor will hold a reception for all
visitors in his parlOrs at the Legis-
lative Hall. At 3 p. m. the May
Queen will be crowned in a festive
ceremony at the Campus of Wes-
ley College.
On Sunday, the homes will open
at 1 p. m. to 5 p. m. following the
services of the local churches
which begin at IL a. m. II D. m.
will see dancing on The Green with
reception by the Mayor and
Council at 1:30 p. m. in the Old
State House.
On behalf of the Friends of Old
Dover and the citizens of Dover,
Mrs. Oliver w. FarrOw, Sr., Dover
Days General Chairman welcomes
you to Dover, "a living town today

Drugs are being used, but this is

learn that from October to April
Menninger Clinic and their pa
tients go through cords and sc0rds
of wood. We, who are supposedly
well, slam a door, break a dish,
clean house furiously, scrub that
kitchen floor, spout out colorful
words to get rid of our aggres-
sions. The wood pile at Menning-
er's is one of their first treatments.
And the therapy man who talked to
us said for some reason there are
usually more women working on
that wood pile than men.
The annual budget at Menning-

anxious to see some of the grounds
of this fabulous place. We were
shown the lovely dining room that
overlooks the gorgeous gardens

therapy. We also saw the library
where some of their priceless books
are kept (some papers from Freud

Dear Friends:

spending it the way we were plan

We all assembled into small
auditorium where the clinic gives
its 5000 annual visitors year a
little background about the history
of the foundation. We were told
that DR.. c. F.. Menninger left In
diana in the late 18O0's and came
to Kansas to teach. Later he stu
died medicine and practiced here in
Topeka-diabetes being one of his
specialties. His three sons, Karl,
Edwin and William. all planned to
follow their father into medicine,
but a laboratory accident prevent

this tragic mishap. He now lives in
Florida and is an expert in horti-

DR.. Karl Menninger, after grad

called "attic patients" Mental dis

The survey showed that in nine hundred
communities, each with less than 25,OO0 pop
ulation, the number of arrests of adoescents
in recent years was about one-third the num-
ber of arrests in metropolitan areas over the
same period.
The result of the survey showed that not
only were total arrests less in the rural
areas, but that the number of arrests per
one thousand youngsters was far lower in
rural areas and in smaller cities Even
though this is better record than is found
in the cities, the survey revealed that the
number of arrests, in rural and town areas,
per one thousand youngsters, was neverthe-
less increasing steadily
Some have charged that the increased
crime and juvenile delinquency in rural and
small-town areas is the result of television,
Hollywood, new highways, automobiles, etc.
Youngsters in thes areas, it is said, are now
being subjected to many of the unhealthy
influences which are so prevalent in metro
politan areas.
Whatever the cause, the fact is that the
recent survey showed that youngsters in ru-
raj and small-town areas were still far less
of problem than metropolitan youth. All
of which goes to prove, once again, that the
strength of America lies in rural areas and
in small towns, where close family ties, an
orderly and supervised life, and the basic,
traditional values of society, are still more
keenly appreciated. e.---rsss..

members.
Charles, st. Marys and Caro-
line Counties would get one
additional House seat. WASH
ington. Frederick, Allegany and
Dorchester would lose House
membership. while the other IL
counties would retain there
present membership. Washing
ton County, however, would get
another senator.
While each county would be
guaranteed at least its present
one Senate seat, the plan calls
for setting up new Senate
seats which would be shared by
groups Of counties.
Tampering with Senate
membership likely will be the
most objectional feature of the
committees plan as far as the
rural areas are concerned. It
is in the Senate that the rural
counties hold their greatest
power. There also probably
would be objection to taking
away House members from any
county.
House Shift Only
Under the Walsh and North
rop plans only the membership
of the House would be changed.
1t seems likely that one of these
two plans will receive solid sup
port in the Legislature.
The Walsh plan would in
crease House membership from
1913 to 141. giving Montgomery
and Prince Georges two more
seats each. Baltimore County
three, Anne Arundel one and
Baltimore City two. The re-
naming eight would be appor-
toned later on the basis Of
future growth. 70
Gov. Tawes supported this
plan at the 1860 session but
was not able to push it through
the rurally-controlled Legisla-
ture. He has said he will sup
port it again at the 1861 ses-
sion. -
Senator Northrop's plan calls
for immediate creation of ID
new House seats, of which
four will go to Baltimore
County. three each to Mont
gomery and Prince Georges,
two to Anne Arundel, two to
Baltimore City, and one each
to Charles, Howard, st. Marys

considered reapportionment a

State legislatures to decide.
8. An atmosphere Of trad
ing" which probably will be
created by the fact that the
Legislature also will have to
come up with q congressional
redistricting plan at its 1861
session. The State gets another
member Of the United States
House of Representatives as Q
result Of the 1860 census.
= measures seen
At least four measures aimed
at reapportioning the Genera
Assembly seats appear likely
to be before the Legislators
when they meet in January.
Plans advanced so far range
from the mild Walsh plan
which was defeated last year
to q radical change proposed
by the Committee for Fail
Representation.
In between is a plan pro-
posed by Senator Northrop. The
fourth proposal is one advanced
by Baltimore City delegates
calling for a constitutional con-
vention which could deal with
re-apportionment as we'll al
other provisions of the State
Constitution.
The latest proposal-but one
which appears to have little
chance Of being approved
is the plan Of the Committee
for Fair Representation.
Under the committees plan
the House Of Delegates would
be enlarged from 1913 to 15C
members. and the Senate from
20 to so.
Montgomery Increased
Montgomery County would
get six more House members
giving it a total of IL, and
