Study of Communism
Continued By Group

The Methodist Men, of the Noun
tain Lake Park-White Church
charge met at White church on
Tuesday evening and continued
their discussion and study of COM
munism. There we're twenty-five
members present.
Following an opening period Of
devotions led by c. c. Gnegy,
there was a short business session
and announcements by the pastor
Rev. James F. Remley.
Opening the panel session,
Joseph H. WEIGH, explained that
man needs &c hours in each day
and 80 days each month to cover
the vast flood of broadcast and
written materials concerning COM
munism Mr.. Welch led the panel
and introduced each of the three
speakers.
The role of Karl Marx, consid-
cred the originator of communist
philosophy, was explained by Har-
vey Riley.
Glenn Randol analysed the sig
nificance of the Russian revolu-
tionary, Lenin, in adapting Marx
ian communism to the Russian
nation He pointed out that in
Lenin's life, as among all such
Communists. there is a Why. a
cause, that produces the end re-
suit of the totalitarian plague
that now besets the world
Sam Steyer. gave summary of
the place of Josef Stain in Rus
sian Communism. Mr. Steyer ex-
planned that Stain was. to the
speakers surprise, a man of Chris
tian background who even studied
for the priesthood. But he made
it clear that Stain became rev.
dictionary and rejected the con.
cept of Christianity, rising to
tremendous dictatorial power over
the Russian people through ruth
less suppression of individual lib
erty
In his coordination of the panel
presentation, Mr. Welch said that
we are prone to avoid being as
ISOLATED with Communism that
even the Communist regimes avoid
the word and use false fronts for
their drive toward power. He eX
planned that we need to come to
grips with the reality of the
force that seeks to destroy our
way of life.
Discussion of various phases OF
this philosophy followed the panel
session during refreshments served
by Mrs. A. w. Riley, who was
hostess.
Attending were H. L. Bigler,
James H. Trickett, Glenn Randol,
H. NJ Weeks, w. Blair Simmons.

Progress Report
On Restoration
OF The Lindens'
BY Mrs. Cummins E. Speakman

Since wrote an appeal to the
people of this vicinity asking
them to help save "The Lindens"
built for a miller's family in
1765 at Duck Creek, the most
astounding thing has happened
The number of people, not only
in Delaware but elsewhere, who
read The Smyrna Times or heard
about it, responded so whole
heartedly that the Duck Greek
Historical Society now has about
three hundred members with
new memberships constantly
coming in.
Our elected officers, led by
our popular and capable towns
man, Norman Wilder, should be
highly commended for the mir
aculous things that they have
accomplished to date-they are
Norman Wilder, president; John
Dickinson, first vice president;
Mrs. Lawrence Ellery, second
vice president; Louise Denney
Clifton, secretary; Henry c.
Webb, treasurer.
''The Lindens" is now rented
to Mr.. and Mrs. Clyde Young
formerly of Wilmington who
are the proprietors of the Blue
Hen Book Shop, now located at
'The Lindens."
Despite the vicissitudes of the
severe winter and the mishaps,
such as a broken radiator, leaks
in the roof, being showed in and
huge oil bills, Mrs. Young still
calls it the Happy House, which
is the name she dubbed it in the
beginning. 1t is a Joy to see her
bright face when you enter "The
Lindens" for she really loves the
old place with passion. The
town owes her debt of graft
tude for the terrific amount of
Smyrna times., 1961-01-26

work that she has done with her
own hands to make the house
attractive and livable. Only
those of us who saw the condi-
ton it was in when we first
were given possession by the
Highway Department have a
true appreciation of this.
The Restoration Committee,
headed by George Galley and
Jack Graham, have turned their
hands to all sorts of manual la
Dor as have many others-too
many to be catalogued here.
Several teen-aged boys, both
colored and white, who live in
Duck Creek, have volunteered
their services to Mrs. Young and
have worked faithfully for the
Historical Society just for the
pleasure they get out of seeing
"The Lindens" emerge as love-
ly little home again, after hav-
ing been condemned to extinc-
ton and abandoned to wind and
weather. What a glow of pride
and Joy these boys must feel

1872 Pct. Growth
Shown AS 5Oth
Anniv. Year End

"A year of membership ex-
plosion" was the phrase used
by Eugene R. Perry, president
of the Del-Mar-Va Council, in
a year-end announcement con-
corning the Fiftieth Anniver-
sary Year of the Boy Scouts of
America.
During 1860 the local Coun-
Gil, which includes the entire
Del-Mar-Va Peninsula, had a net
gain of ll72 boy members. This
growth was the greatest in the
Councils history with the ex-
ception of 1854 when the nost
war boy crop became eight
years old and was eligibie for
the Clubbing program.
Smyrna times., 1961-01-26
Beginning in ls5O with 7,I73

Beginning in 1850 with 7,l73
boys, the past ten years have
seen a gain of over 1929 as
the Council shows l6,687 boys
enrolled at the end of 1860.
The present membership figure
is far above that estimated in
a forecast by Council leaders
ten years ago. AS a result of
long range planning studies re-
Gently completed, the member
ship forecast for 1870 will ap-
proach the 10000 mark.
Heading the Councils mem
bership program were: G. Cor
don Mitchell and DR.. Edwin A.
Fluevog, chairmen of organiza-
tion and extension; and DR..
Crayton K. Black, council COM
missioner. The Commissioner
Staff conducts the fall round
up" each year.
Scouting's Jubilee Year also
saw a galaxy of program activ-
tiles available to local boys.
Beginning with the great Ami
versary Week ever held in Feb
ruary the years events includ-
ed such highlights as the Jubi-
lee Jam boree at Colorado
Springs which served as the
Capitol of the largest civilian
camp-out in history. Thousands
of Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and
Explorers participated in Jubl-
lee week end activities in their
home districts and at the Rod
ney Scout Reservation. In the
fall, the "Get Out the Vote"
Good Turn gave boys the op-
portunity to practice citizenship
in a real man sized way. Forty
six million door knob hangers
were distributed-l86, 900 in the
Del-Mar-Va Peninsula. Albert
E. Forster was general chairman
for the Councils Jubilee Year
activity committee.
According to Forrest j. Sad
Ter, Scout Executive, more boys
than ever enjoyed the thrill of
the outdoors because of the
Jubilee events; the facilities at
Camp Rodney, which are used
to capacity each weekend and
throughout the summer; the ex-
peditions to Philmont Scout
Ranch in New Mexico; and the
Canadian Canoe Trip. AS re-
suit of good program and lead
ership, units in the Peninsula
have reported IS boys became
Eagle Scouts during the year.
A member agency of nine
community funds and chests
throughout the Peninsula, the
Del-Mar-Va Council looks for
ward to another decade of SER
vice to communities through
Scouting. The theme for 1861
is "STRENGTHEN AMERICA
CHARACTER COUNTS"
Smyrna times., 1961-01-26

when they see the windows light
up at night, shining as they
shone out by candlelight almost
two hundred years ago. The
warmth of the dancing flames
in the old kitchen fireplace, the
cracking and swapping around
the logs the boys sometimes
fetch in for Mrs. Young, must
set their young imaginations rae
ing back to the time when the
house was young and Duck
Creek Cross Roads was a very
young settlement on the Kings
Highway in young nation that
has since risen to be the great
est, finest nation in the whole
wide world today. These boys
must feel great pride in doing
their share to preserve this old
place which meant so much to
the small struggling community
of Salisbury (as it was called in
colonial times) because the mill
er and his mill, which is still
standing and which we hope to
acquire some day, were very
vital factors in the survival of
Young America.
Now, since the Duck Creek
Historical Society has had to
spend most of the six hundred
dollars which came to us
through our memberships, upon
making the house habitable, we
need some more volunteer work
ers to sandpaper, paint and do
other small jobs in the house.
George Galley and Jack Ora
ham would like to have at least
twenty workers at "The Lin
dens" all day Saturday, Jan. %.
Tea, coffee and light sandwiches
will be served to the workers.
Please call Mrs. Caley-Olive B.
6l01, or Mrs. Young-Olive B.
702l to offer your services.
Since this house now officially
belongs to the community Mrs.
Young will be happy to welcome
visitors any day and show them
the things that we hope to dc
when we get the money.
The Society is especially crate.
full to all the people who work
ed out there before Mr.. and Mrs
Young moved in, giving theil
services freely to restore the ole
house. Mrs. Webb has been un'
firing in her publicity campaign
and The Smyrna Times, by its
generous donation of space, has
been the spark which really
Smyrna times., 1961-01-26

touched off what | call the Mir
acle of Duck Creek.
Any donations of coffee, both
powdered and ground, tea bags
and sliced meat for making
sandwiches for Saturday will be
gratefully received. Please leave
them at Louise Denney Clifton's
office on Commerce Street.
Do join us if you are not al
ready a member and please try
to get other people to join. The
membership fee is two dollars
but you do not have to be a
member to help us in this work.

he said in recent interview about Towers were these:
"Prces are reasonable =. everything is convenient,
that's one thing like about it." Reasonable price and

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

This week the nation stops a mo-

and the week is dubbed Fire Pre-
vention Week"
While most folks never let it cause
them much concern. it might be lust
the time to look around your own
homes. farm buildings. and business
houses to see if there isn't some han-
ards lying around that could be cor
rected now that would save lot of
grief later.
This thing of fire hazards is present
lust about anywhere you look and if
you talk to Il Boy Scout or two who
has studied the firemanship merit
badge, he will tell you that the danger
turks in just about every home. One
of the requirements for this fireman
ship merit badge is for the Scout to
examine his own home and make a
list of the fire hazards.
These lists almost always include
a closet or two that is TANNED full
