DEAR ABBY: There is in
my neighborhood a 15-year-
old boy who is as nice a
young man as you would care
to meet. He comes to talk
things over with me because
his father died when he was
small. Il am a 62-year-old
man.
Abby, this boys mother is
a fine, intelligent woman (an
executive secretary but she
is running her sons life. She
tells him he is "the man Of
the house" She still picks
out all his clothes. She cuts
him off from all young people
especially girls. He once
asked her why she didn't try
to find a nice man and re-
marry and she told him she
was devoting her life to HIM
and she didn't need a hus-
band.
This boy is bright, mannerly
and handsome. He yearns
to be a normal 15-year-old
boy but is cast in the role of
his mothers private property.
Would you, if you were I
talk to his mother about it?
JUST A NEIGHBOR
I would. II she Is "fine,
and intelligent" she'll hear
you out. Otherwise, she'll
throw you out. You've moth
ing to lose and the boy has
SO much to gain. Good Luck!

The Declaration, according to
Governor Boggs, stands as "a

Researchers focused on the

One is now in use in Sears store
at 112 N. E. Front ST., Milford,

The special machine, equipped
with an 18-inch long rack of 16-

of the item for which he wants the
part. Numbers appear on identifi-
cation plates of all Sears merchan-

Using the number as a guide, a

dollars for a state facility is be-
lieved to be one of the few such
programs in the country.
The rehabilitation center, as ii
is now being planned, will include
the recreational facilities for pa
tients at the hospital at Stockley
which had been the original target
of All-Star Game receipts. Avail
ability of federal funds will enable
doubling of the proposed structure
to include physical, occupational,
and speech therapy facilities; vO-
cational training, counseling, and
medical assistance for patients OF
the hospital; and the same services
for other physically and mentally
handicapped citizens of Kent and
Sussex Counties.
Being set aside for the rehabili-
tation center at Stockley is the
first $4,000 of net receipts from
admissions and program advertis-
ing of the Fifth Annual All-Star
Game. This will be added to $685.
600 in proceeds from the 1858 and
1859 games, $4,000 from the Della
ware Association for Retarded
Children, and $4,000 from other
sources to round out the 100000
needed to match an equal amount
of earmarked federal funds.
Hill-Burton ALLEGATIONS for re-
Mobilization facility construction in
Delaware have in past year gone
to other states because Delaware
had not applied for them with an
appropriate project.
The trustees of the hospital, of
whom Mr. Williams is secretary,
decided to offer the rehabilitation
center as a project this year, and
were Joined by the Delaware Vo-
cational Rehabilitation Division
which now has no facilities in the
lower counties for the treatment
and training of disabled persons
The result was the now-pending
application for a Hill-Burton grant.
New plans for the building are
being completed by Victorine and

tects, who drew up the blueprints
for the original recreation famility
now to be embodied within the

THE JUNE DAYS

June is the favorite month of millions
of Americans. 1t is known and remembered
for many things.
1t is time for roses and blushing brides,
and it month of long, warming days.
In the southern parts of the United
States, the days actually become too warm,
while in New England, and in other north
ern parts June brings the first really warm
days-and perhaps the most pleasant days
of the year.
To US, one of the most interesting things
about June is that it always brings the sum-
mer solstice. That is, is always contains the
longest day of the year, which this year
came two days after Fathers Day-on the
21st. Although the length of daylight was
different in various parts of the United
States, the 21st was the longest day, if only
by matter of seconds.
AS matter of fact, by the standard cal
endar or almanac, the measurement in min
utes showed that June 19, 20, Fl, % and %
are were of practically equal length.
The sun was supposed to rise at approx
imately A 80 a. m. and to set at approx
mately 7:30 p m. Daylight preceded sun
rise and lasted some time after sunset, on
each end of these days.
After the 21st, however, the sun will
begin to return southwark and the days will
grow constantly shorter until December %,
when winter will begin. Fall will begin on
September % this year, at the autumnal
equinox, and on this day the length of day
light and darkness will be the same-as it
was March 20, the first day of spring this
year.
