BY MARY LEE COUNCIL

Upon his return from his re- cent trip to Anchorage and Kenai Postmaster General J. Edward Day informed Sen. Bartlett that he is making an exception for Alaska to permit substitute post al employees to work up to AS hours.
 "The problem faced by the sub stitutes in Alaska is unique,' the cabinet official stated "and no other state is being allowed this exception"
 Some little time ago the Post Office e Department announced that substitute employees would be reduced to no more than a 40- hour workWeek, later revised to a period between 40 and A hours. Representations were received by the Alaska delegation urging that the 48-hour WorkWeek be permit ted to continue because of the high costs of living in Alaska. Sen. Gruening and Sen. Bartlett suggested to Postmaster General Day that the adverse decision con- templated be delayed until Mr. Day had had a chance to evaluate the situation on his trip.

Joseph A. Abey Will Head Rotary International
tsxE.va 9-yrgE.t.r..r

TOKYO, Japan R - Joseph A. Abey, of Reading, Pa, incoming president of Rotary International for 1961-62, challenged Rotarians to provide increased leadership in their communities in his ad- dress at the final session of Ro- tary's Sand annual convention here. The convention was the largest in Rotary's history, with more than 10000 Rotarians and their families registered from some so countries.
 MT Abey is circulation director of the Reading Eagle Times. He has been president and publisher
 of six newspapers in Tennessee,
 Virginia, and West Virginia. A member of the Rotary Club of Reading since 1886, he is a past president of that club, and has served Rotary International as director, district governor, and as chairman and member of various committees. He was elected to Rotary's highest office at the 1860 convention in Miami, and since then has served as president elect and a member of the board of directors. He begins his term as president on July 1st.
 Since some addresses will be delivered in Japanese and some in English, an instantaneous translation system is beir g used. It is being done through the use of radio broadcasting system installed in the convention hall. To receive translations in any part of the auditorium, transistor radios, equipped with earplugs, are tuned in by those requiring Japanese or English translations.
 Rotary is experiencing it's fast est growth in Japan. In 1940, at the outset of World War II, there were 38 Rotary clubs and some 1000 Rotarians in Japan. Today n Japan there are more than 400 Rotary clubs with some 17,000 members. Rotary worldwide has membership of 505,000 Rotarians md 11,000 Rotary clubs in 122 ountries.

 Airliner Crashes Killing All 61 Aboard

LISBON, Portugal R - Plane wreckage in scraps no larger than a square yard washed ashore to- day, leading investigators to be- lieve a violent explosion wreck ed the Dutch-Venezuelan airliner that crashed Tuesday, killing all 61 aboard.
 Pieces of metal, wood and ma terial were found as the tide brought them in. They gave no clue about the cause of the pre- sumed explosion or the crash.
 The four-engine jet crashed on storm swept Atlantic beach early Tuesday soon after taking off from Lisbon for the Azores. The plane had come from Rome and Madrid, leased by the Vene- Zuelan Airline Viasa from KLM.
 One American, William Ayde- lotte, had reservations to take the plane Aydelotte, told a reporter, ''I felt so good in Lisbon last night that I thought I'd wait for the next plane" ]"
 He still planned to fly to the Azores"

 The travellers, Tommy Lake and Lawrence Dunn, left Lake Union Friday morning, but were forced to stop on Camano Island that night when the boat began leak ing.
 They slept the night on the. beach and resumed the trip Sat urday morning after making re- pairs.
 The men carried two outboard motors, camping equipment and a limited supply of food and money.
 "They didn't know much about the waters and it wasn't much of boat" Grant Freer, Camano writer, reported.
 "The men had no idea when they would reach Ketchikan. I don't see how they are going to make it at all"

Junior Red Cross Annual School
Enrolment Begins November LIST

stu de n is in the elementary
school projects. Teacher-coordi-
nators and student-coordinators
will direct the program in the
secondary schools. Among com.
munity projects high school
students in Delaware will be
undertaking are volunteer work
among hospitals and institution
patients.
Mrs. George A. Zurkow, vice
chairman in charge of youth
services, will maintain close
working relationships with edu-
Gators planning high school and
college Red Cross programs
which can best serve the broad
community.
Among the Junior Red Cross
and High School Red Cross ac-
tivities are:
The gift box program, in
which schools prepare and send
small, coloiful boxes filled with
articles ranging from toys to
health items.
The school chest program
through which needed school
and health supplies are sent by
American high school students
to young people in other lands
whose schools have been dis
rupted by wars or disasters.
The school album program,
which tells through drawings,
photographs and essays the life
and activities of the towns in
which American youngsters live.
Members provide services to
the armed forces, to veterans
hospitals and institutions by
producing menu covers, tray
favors and other comfort and
recreational items and holiday
decorations. School groups furn-
ish entertainment.
The Juniors also take part in
various programs of the Red
Cross at the Chapter House, 9l0
Gilpin Avenue, which include
first aid and water safety, dis
aster, home nursing and staff
aide service.
The students have a big voice
in the running of their program
through school councils. Each
year outstanding members are
selected to attend special Jun
ior Red Cross leadership train
ing centers.

Even in the time of William

Tales of Halloween
In Early Delaware
Recalled by Dept.

The approach of Halloween
with its tales of ghosts and COB
Inns for the very young, serves
to recall that many of Della
wares early settlers, like their
kinfolk elsewhere in the Ameri-
can Colonies, believed, in vary
ing degrees, in witchcraft, and
even practiced some unusual
customs to ward off evil, advis-
es the Delaware State Develop
Iment Department.
AS an example of this, the
state information agency notes
that it was once the custom in
this area to place a psalm book
beneath the head of a newly
born child to supposedly pre-
vent its being exchanged for an
elf child by witches.
Another early Delaware Gus
tom was to cut crosses into
broom handles so that witches
could not ride on them. A still
stranger custom was to feed
cattle with crumbs from each
course of a meal at Christmas
Day to protect the animals a.
gainst witchcraft.
According to some sources,
witches even gave John Printz,
the third Swedish governor of
Delaware, the goose pimples. He
was a hardbitten warrior, proud
of his scars, yet his blood ran
cold when he accused Karin,
a Finnish woman, and Lasse,
her husband, also a Finn, of
"witchery." These poor people
who had come to Delaware with
the Swedes were subsequently

enrolment in Delaware public
private and parochial schools
will begin on Wednesday, No.

Mrs. Herman R. Phillips and
Mrs. Samuel Klaiman, co-chair-
men of Junior Red Cross fol
the Delaware Chapter, announc.
ed that during the first two
weeks in November student in
schools throughout the state
will be given the opportunity
to join program which bands
together the nations young peo-
pie in a humanitarian service
providing a variety of good cit
izenship building activities on
local, national and international
levels.
AS a result of a youth study
completed recently by the Am
erican National Red Cross, the
organization in the secondary
schools will be known as the
High School Red Cross instead
of the Junior Red Cross. The
program in the elementary
schools will continue to be
known as the Junior Red Cross.
High School Red Cross and
Junior Red Cross enable young
people to express themselves
through activities hat will pro-
mote their own educational
growth and provide valuable
service to the community, the
two Red Cross leaders declared.
Aiding people in need is a
Job of the Red Cross" Mrs.
Phillips and Mrs. Klaiman said
in a joint statement. "A stud
ent can do his or her part in
coming to the help of other
young people when disaster
strikes, exchange albums with
friends in the schools of other
countries, make articles to cheer
patients in hospitals and other
institutions, and take part in
a variety of other activities
which will help a young person
grow into a good adult.
Many of the High School
Red Cross and Junior Red Cross
programs are part of regular
school work; others are carried
into the community, giving ad-
ditional meaning to classroom
study"
