ford.

1t was recently announced that
for the 1860 crusade for funds for
the American Cancer Society will
have as its Milford chairman, G. r.

hospital and co-chairman, J. Ron
aid Annett, Manager of the An

Farms. Both men are well and
favorabIy known throughout the
Milford area.
The fund drive for the Cancer
Society will be conducted during
the month of April. Through its
continuing efforts as result of
the generous support of the people
of the United States, many strides
have been made toward curing and
the eventual prevention of this
dread disease. In 1945, there were
some $4,000 Americans alive who
had been cured of cancer. BY 1850,
the figure had risen to 100000. To-
day, more than a million people
have been cured. Whereas fifteen
years ago, one in four patients
were saved; today the figure is one
in three. Through constant re-
search, many cases have been
diagnosed much sooner and treat
ment can be more effectively given.
1t is hoped that the time will come
when through the support of our
people something will be discover
ed as effective in the battle against
cancer as the Salk vaccine is in
the battle against polio. Everyones
support is urgently needed.

At Calvary Methodist

Choristers from H airing o n,
Greenwood. Lincoln, Lewes, Dover
and Milford will present the Sec
ond Community Choir concert at
the Calvary Methodist Church in
Milford at 4 p. m. Sunday, April 10.
They will open the program with
three choral works by Johann Sc
bastian Bach: "Jesu, Priceless
Treasure" from motet of the
same name. "Crucifixus" from the
Mass in B Minor" and Now Let
Every Tongue Adore Thee" from
a cantata ''Sleepers Wake" These
selections will be followed by
Theodore Dubois sacred cantata,
eThe Seven Last Words of Christ
Since this program includes
works from a motel and oratorio
as well as a complete cantata, it is
interesting to note the difference
in these three musical forms. Origi-
nally the motel was a three-voice
composition arranged in brief
reiterated rhythmic pattern which
reached its peak of development
in the six motets by Bach. Since
Bach's era, however, the term is
used to describe any kind of sacred
choral work for mixed voices. A
cantata is a secular or sacred
choral composition interspersed
with. solos and recitative. An ora
torio is a more extensive musical
work for solo voices, chorus and
orchestra with a text more or less
dramatic in nature and usually
based upon a religious theme. The
chief distinction among the three
forms is one of length and elabor-

TO 459 IN the Caesar Rodney dis
trict, which covers the Camden
Wyoming area.
The Dover proposal would have
added 25 cents to the tax rate OF
72 cents on each 500 assessed
property valuation and SO to the
81 capitation tax.
In the Caesar Rodney district,
the rate would have been increased
by Is cents to so cents and the
capitatiOn tax by $6 to $13.
What appears to be a statewide
trend against school tax increases
began early in February and was
reflected in earlier referendums in
the Rose Hill Minquadale, Smyrna,
Seaford, and Mt. Pleasant School
districts. Proposed increases to
cover teacher salary supplements
were voted down in each.
About 30 per cent of the 1000
eligible voters in the Dover Dis
trict cast ballots. David M. Green,
superintendent, said it was the
largest referendum vote ever.
Mr.. Green had worked hard to
put the referendum across and be-
fore voting was optimistic. After
the count he said: They've sold
their kids down the river.
DR.. William B. Simpson, Caesar
Rodney, superintendent also hope
full before the referendum, said the
results represent distinct vic
tory for the old-timers against the
newcomer"
He had counted heavily on young
parents in the Rodney Village,
Briar Park and Kent Acres areas
to swing the vote in favor of the
tax increases. Roughly 40 per cent
of the district residents eligible
went to the polls.
