Raise Ship just
To Sink Again

Audie Murphy's newest and
most stirring war film, Battle
at Bloody Beach," in Cinema
Scope and also starring Dolores
Michaels and Gary Crosby at
the Smyrna Theatre, Sunday,
December II, was made entire
ly on location at Catalina, an
island in the Pacific Ocean, just
20 miles off the California coast.
The most important set in the
entire picture was the beached
hull of an old submarine chaser
which was purchased by the U.
S. Navy and towed to the point
where it was needed. While
the production staff was search
ing the island for the most rug
ged beach sites to film the bat
tie scenes, the old sub-chaser
sank to the bottom of the Pa
cific Ocean. Production was
halted while salvage operations
lifted the hull back to its orig
inal position. AS if that wasn't
enough, after the salvage crew
had raised the sub-chaser back
into its proper position, the next
scene called for the boat to be
completely demolished under a
shattering Japanese attack on
Bloody Beach. But, that's show

teachers of the high school who
are able to see the interwork-
ings of another school district
at firsthand. The Smyrna dis
trict itself was first evaluated
in February 1857 and will be
evaluated again in the l966-67
school year. The board discuss
ed briefly the matter of wrest-
ling as it is now offered in the
school district. This sport seems
to be growing to be a favorite
in the schools of Delaware and
Smyrna has had a wrestling
team both last year and this.
1t was felt that it would not
be possible to obtain a regula-
ton wrestling mat however in
that the cost of this mat is$2,-
500 to $1,000 and there would
be a problem of finding a per-
manent location for this mat
which is 34'x34.
Building Commission
The Building Commission met
also, and it was noted that pro-
gress on the Groom building
being erected east of the high
way is moving at a satisfactory
pace. The Building Commission
was also told that preliminary
plans for, the new Smyrna Ele-
mentary School on Main Street
Extended had been approved by
the State Board, and that an
attempt was being made to have
final plans ready for approval
by January 9Th.

Statisticians estimate that
there are at least 100000 active
tuberculosis cases that have
never been tracked down. Many
who have the disease don't even
know it. But the tuberculin
skin test or chest X-ray can dis
cover TB early, when it's east

was painfully apparent again
last night that a good old
movie does not necessarily con-
vert into a good new television
program.
The most recent in a long
string of demonstrations of this
thesis was "Notorius," in
MICS disappointing Theatre
81" series Of movie adaptations.
The live and lavish remake was
pedestrian, often boring spy
thriller in which there was
practically no character devel-
opment.
Even our heroine's past, that
was the basis for the title)
was quickly CLOSED over and all
that was left was a lot of rush
ing around in big. beautiful sets
and hunting for microfilm in
champagne bottles.

but it seems that during about
one half Of the hour. Barbara

little to do.
The program came shortly
after a two-hour repeat of The

movie that seems to gain rather
than lose charm with annual
repetition.
One only hopes that they do
not decide to make that cne

Inaugural Parade, there was q regular
blizzard blowing" recalls Ralph Dick, a
A-year career man with the Department
of Highways and Traffic.
PENNSYLVANIA avenue had been
Sanded and the wind was whipping the
sand along in q stinging, cutting spray.
The mules pulling some of the wagons
and carriages in the parade decided
they'd had enough. They turned out of
line at First street NV. and went back
to the stables"
Il believe that was the first parade
women marched in," says Mrs. Howe. Il
was Girl Scout. carried large flag up
the Avenue. l stood at Sixth and C
streets, right below Union Station, at
a firehouse, until thought I would
freeze. ran all the way home to Eighth
and F streets = to get newspapers to stuff
in our uniforms.
Miss Dick. principal of Fillmore,
Jackson and Hyde Schools in George
town, with a 43-year span as an educator
here, recalls a bad Inauguration Day
which kept most of the family from 60
ing to the parade. The streets outside the
house were solid with the Pennsylvania
parade units they used to be wonder
full group Of soldiers" she says.
Mother had baked a big ham. My
parents said we couldn't eat with all
those men standing outside. They made
coffee and sandwiches and went out and
fed them. The men we're standing there
from early morning until late at night"
The parades gradually shortened, In
1857, the procession took less than
three and one-half hours to pass.
And starting about l94l, television
thinned the spectator lines.
Even the parade-loving Dicks have
deserted the procession route for the
television screen. But not without a bit
of nostalgia for the rugged and exciting
old days.

0N INAUGURATION DAYS back
Owhen the century was young. they
really did love a parade.
It was not unusual for the public
spectacle of the inaugural to span full
turn of the clock, from morning until
night, longtime residents recall.
Everyone took q more personal part
then, says J. Herbert Dick, supervisor of
collections of the District Treasury,
who is in his 51st year of working for the
city There was no television, of course.
People came downtown to see the
parade"
Mr. Dick, his brother Ralph, and their
sisters, Miss Ruth E. Dick and Mrs. Vera
Dick Howe, who have been District en-
ployes for a collective 158 years, were
enthusiastic parade-goers.
A family gathering around Inaugural
ton time is bound to call up reminis-
cences of earlier presidential install
lations.
I'VE used to look forward to il for
four years." says Mrs. Howe, an investi-
gator for the Enforcement Division of
the Finance Office, who has 81 years
municipal service.
I'VE watched from Herbert's office in
the District Building. 1t was the social
occasion of his department. The men
brought their families, and we would
bring sandwiches and phonograph rec
ords, and the kids would dance. Old and
young enjoyed it. 1t would get pitch dark,
and the parade would still be going up
the Avenue"
The first inaugural parade Herbert
Dick saw was President McKinleys in
1901. His father took the family in half
day shifts. The Avenue was Lit with
carbon arc lights, he recalls.

forming their parade units in Northeast

there was snow. Trains coming in for the
Inauguration were late, and things were
a mess They cleared the parade route,

Theodore Roosevelt going down to the

In 1913, the Inauguration of Woodrow
Wilson followed on the heels of a stormy
suffragette parade Mr.. Dick, then a
purchasing clerk with the Sewer Depart
ment, recalls that the avenue had been
completely roped for the first time with
permanent stanchions and cables. An
unruly crowd at the suffragette parade
broke through the steel cables. The
equipment had to be repaired in time
for the Inaugural Parade the next day.
Weather was bitter taskmaster in
the days when the parade route itself
was the only viewing ground.
