Interest Mounts
In Fishing Rodeo
AT Lake Como
Here Saturday

Interest is being shown by
youngsters in the Smyrna-Clay-
ton area in the fishing contest
to be held at Lake Como on
Saturday. Sponsored locally by
the Veterans of Foreign Wars
Post, it is a statewide project
of the Delaware Junior Fish
ing Rodeo Association. Lester
Smith represents the local post
as chairman. No previous regis
tration is necessary and no en-
try fee is required to take part
in the contest which will be
held from 10 am. to 2 pm. Re-
freshments will be served to
local contestants and local priz-
es awarded. The fishing area
will be confined to the eastern
end of the lake from the beach
area to the Spillway. E. Cowgirl
Barnard will be the weighmas-
ter at Lake Como, one OF
twelve serving throughout the
state. Local and state honors
will be awarded on the basis OF
sportsmanship, luck, and heavi'
est fish landed. Top winners
will be honored guests at the
fourth annual banquet to be
held the following Saturday,
August 26, at Dover. All child
rem who have not reached their
sixteenth birthday are eligible
to compete. AS a result of three
years of experience it has been
decided to modify the rules
and hold the contests in two
divisions. To enter the cham
pionship in the first division,
children must be prepared to
fish without any assistance. II
they receive help they will be
disqualified from the champion
ship contest. The second divi-
sion, with participants fishing
at the same time, will be child
rem who are learning to fish. II
they need assistance they may
receive it, but if they do they
will not be qualified to compete
for the district or state cham
pionship. There will be prizes
for catchers of the largest fish
in the second as we'll as first.

Oilmen Rap Gas
Tax Hike Plan

A proposed one-cent increase
in the Delaware gasoline tax
might actually result in less
revenue for the state, the Del
aware Oilmen's Association said
in a report this week. 1t point
ed out that gasoline sales in
Delaware for the first five
months of this year amounted
to $3,738,773, a $203, ,702 or
SIG per cent increase over last
year. A recent survey, it said,
showed that there is a connec-
ton between a gasoline tax
raise and a decline in the
amount of gasoline sold and
therefore in the revenue from
taxes. The association pointed
out, in particular, a survey OF
three large marketing areas in
Pennsylvania, which recently
raised its gasoline tax, showing
that July sales decreased by !
per cent, compared to July OF
last year. Also, the association
cited a resolution passed last
week by the Northwestern Con
ference of Gasoline Tax Admin
istrators in Colorado urging all
states to hold the line on gaso.

Job Plan Eyed
By Levy Court
For Reliefers

The New Castle County Levy
Court and the State Department
of Public Welfare took the first
steps Tuesday toward setting
up a relief recipient job pro-
gram. The Levy Court met with
Welfare Department represent
atives during the regular court
meeting and they discussed the
possibility of revising a policy,
for putting reliefers to work,
which already exists on a linn
tied scale in New Castle Coun-
ty. The county had used some
reliefers on jobs such as park
maintenance under the old law
which permitted the three coun-
ties to do this but did not make
it mandatory. Under a revised
law recently passed by the
General Assembly, however, il
is now mandatory for the coun.
ties to use able bodied mer
who are on relief for county
work wherever it will not in
terfere with private enterprise
Two plans were discussed BY
Levy Court President Harry H
Lambert, Commissioner Harry
B. Roberts, Jr., and the Welfar;
Department representatives, let
by Edgar Hare, Jr. One plaT
would give men on relief full
time jobs with the county a
the rate of ST per hour, thus
getting them off the relief rolls
The other would let those who
are receiving relief work it of
by doing various county job!
at the same hourly rate. There
are about 800 men receiving re
lief checks in New Castle Coun
ty who would be available fol
work under one of these two
plans. Both county and state
officials will continue theil
study of the proposed plans.

Draft Quota for
State Doubled;
Sept. Call As

Delaware's draft call will
jump by almost 100 per cent
for the second straight month
in September as the result of
President Kennedy's national
defense buildup. The September
call will be As men, more than
twice the % called up this
month. At the beginning of
August, this months draft quo
to was listed at normal l3
men, but it was upped to %
when the President announced
the buildup. 1t. Col. Hall, Del
aware Selective Service direc-
tor, announced the September
call last night and said as far
as he knows it is the largest
one for the state since the Kor-
can War. The highest previous
post-Korean draft call for this
state was 38 during May of
1854. Nationally, the Selective
Service will draft 25,000 men
in September, all for the Army.
For the nation, too, this is the
biggest call since the Korean
War. The abrupt step-up in the
draft is a reflection of US. con-
Germ over the Berlin situation
and a Russian arms buildup.

Local Guard Unit
Back Home from
Most Successful
.Encampment Yet

Smyrna's Army National
Guard unit has just completed
its third and most successful
summer encampment as an ord
nance ammunition company.
The unit, known as the l4lst
Ordnance Company, returned to
its Allen McLane Armory Sat
urday after two weeks of train
ing and operations at Camp
Pickett and Camp A. P. Hill,
Va. According to Captain John
K. Smith, who has been with
the unit since it was changed
from anti-aircraft artillery to
ordnance in the spring of 1859,
but was just recently made
company commander, "the sum-
mer encampment was the most
successful l have ever seem"
Capt. Smith said that his two
magazine platoons saw duty at
both Camp Pickett and Camp
A. P. Hill. THE magazine sec
tions make up the biggest part
of our unit" explained Capt.
Smith. Our mission was to
give support to the 83rd Divi-
sion, which also was split for
the encampment. The infantry
sections trained at Camp Hill,
while the artillery was at Camp
Pickett. All of our unit, with
the exception of the one mag
azine platoon at Camp Hill, was
at Camp Pickett" He explained
that the overall scope of a unit
such as Smyrna's l4lst is to
receive, store, and issue ammu-
milton to units which are firing
it. This is the reason we had
to send one platoon over to
Camp Hill," said Capt. Smith.
"The infantrymen over there
were using small arms and we
had to supply ammunition to
them. At the same time, we
kept the artillery batteries sup
piled with ammunition for their
weapons at Camp Pickett. This
is the first time we have ever
been able to set up two fully
operative ASP's Ammunition
Supply Points, and | think it
really tests the abilities of this
unit. After the first week was
completed, we switched pla-
toons, so that each would get
a taste of what the other had
been doing" The l4lst took
ITO men to camp, with 30 train
ing at Camp Hill and the bal
ance at Camp Pickett. In the
l4lst, in addition to the two
magazine platoons, there is an
administrative platoon, opera
tions platoon and a mainten-
ance section The administra-
tive section is charged with all
personnel records, supply and
the kitchen work. Operations
maintains data on all ammuni-
tion, acting as the heart of the
unit. Maintenance keeps all ve-
hicles running and handles 9TH
er mechanical jobs which arise
from time to time. Capt. Smith
said the morale of the unit was
the best it has ever been. in
all my years in the Delaware
National Guard" volunteered
Capt. Smith, 81 have never seen
such teamwork and coordina-
tion that we had. 1t would be
impossible to single out any one
man as doing a better job than
another. They were all on the
run and did a commendable
job" The unit received a rat
ing by the Regular Army of
$3.50, a high excellent. This is
the highest it has achieved as
an ordnance unit. AS added
laurels, the l4lst softball team
won four of five games, be-
tween other companies training
