Action on Dump
Rests with Town
Board Told by
Highway Dept.

The regular meeting of the
Smyrna Board of Education was
held on October 25, 1861. Most
of the board members indicat-
ed that they planned to attend
the Delaware School Boards
meeting on Saturday, Novem-
Der 4th, at the University of
Delaware. The board reviewed
a letter from DR.. George R. Mil
Ter, State Superintendent, indi-
eating that the State Board of
Education had turned down the
request of the Smyrna District
for funds to repair the front
steps of the high school. The
Smyrna Board reaffirmed its
position that this repair work
was essential. A letter was al
so reviewed from the State
Highway Department indicating
that no action could be taken
on the community dump north
of Smyrna until the Town had
voiced its opinion on this mat
ter. The board took action to
hire an additional secretary who
will be directly responsible to
David K. Fauser, administrative
assistant. Mrs. Virginia H.Jones
of Rodney Street, Clayton, Del
aware, was hired. There were
ten other applicants for this
position. Mrs. Jones is a grad
uate of the Smyrna High School
and has worked for the State
Board of Health, the Water Pol
luton Commission, and the
Clayton Post Office. The posi-
ton demands considerable ex-
perience in typing and short
hand. The board approved the
attendance of the superintend-
ent at Work Conference dur
ing July of 1862 at Columbia
University. The superintendent
had written to three persons
who had attended this confer
ence last year and found that
all three recommended the con-
ference highly. The board set
aside $500 for elementary field
trips for the coming year. This
planned field trip program will
take students to such places as
the planetarium, Dover State
house Buildings, Gettysburg in
Pennsylvania, and other places
of historic interest. The board

Large Group
Attend Civil
Defense Talk on
Atomic FallOut

More interest was shown in
civil defense meeting held Thurs
day night in the American Leg
ion room in Town Hall than at
any previous time, reflecting the
growing concern of Americans
about the threat posed by the
Soviets. The meeting was at
tended by more than fifty loc-
al residents. 1t. Andrew c.
Thompson, Jr., disaster control
officer at Dover Air Force Base,
talked on atomic fallout and
what can be done about protec-
ton. He defined civil defense
as like insurance, against a ma
tural or man-made nuclear dis
aster. Our concern is based on
the Soviet intent to rule the
world, which is very real ac-
cording to the speaker. In an
! hour-long talk he told of meas
ures that can be taken against
the fall-out, particularly the con-
struction of fallout shelters in
the home. He defined radio-ac-
tivity, and said that fallout
could settle anywhere. Altho

he said. The best protection is
an underground shelter with at
least three feet of earth or sand
above it, or two feet of con-
crete will give the same pro-
lection, according to the speak
er. 1t. Thompson was introduc-
ed by Harold Young, post ser
vice officer. William Stafford,
post commander, was assisted
by members of the post, and

the ABL teams better than top college

So far the ABL teams haven't been

"The NBA teams are better organized.
They're picking up where they left off last

I'm talking about the NBA only because
the new league hasn't established a pattern
as yet-iS that there is a Sameness about
