bringing up baby
Hints collected
br Mrs. Dan Gerber.
Mother Of 5

A backyard can be real blessing in
the summertime. If you have one,
why not move baby's playpen outdoors
these fine June days? With all of natures
sights to see, your cherub will probably
be content to stay put for reasonable
periods of time. A few reminders:
If yOu park the pen IN a shaded,
sheltered spot, baby 1UOn't get burned
or chilled. A shirt wil protect baby,
should bree<es blOiC.
This is good time for you to catch
up on "iap jobs, such as mending,
reading or knitting, while you sat
outdoors tcith baby.
June or January, cereal is usually
on baby's daily mealtime agenda.
Gerber Cereals are especially popular
with babies because the favors are ever
so delicate the texture ever so
smooth to the tongue. AS for baby's
nutritional well-being, all are enriched
with iron, important B-vitamins and
calcium. Rotate Rice Cereal, Barley,
Oatmeal, Mixed Cereal and High Protein
Cereal for continued meal appeal.
*6 tablespoons of any Gerber Cereal
provide baby with over 1907 of
the Recommended Daily Dietary
Allowance for iron.

A former Warrenton operator

serve as sort of informal secretaries
to the community.

to be filled with notes telling us where
we could find people" she says ANY
one expecting a call and wanting to
leave home, just told the operator
where to find them. And we did. too"
And there was the time when a
young Warrenton blade came home
Unexpectedly from college one week

to yield date, and finally the opera

With the growth of the Warrenton
switchboard, of course, this type of
personal service had diminished. But,
until the end of the board, operators
were a great help. particularly to
elderly subscribers.

Del-Mar-Va Boy
Scout Council
Buys 74O Acres
For Camp Site

Options to purchase approx
mately TAO acres of wooded
land located in north eastern
Dorchester county, Maryland,
needed for future camp devel-
opment purposes by the Del
Mar-Va Council, Incorporated,
Boy Scouts of America have
been secured according to an
announcement made this week
by Eugene R. Perry, Council
president. Approval of the OPP
tions was made at the Novem-
ber meeting of the Executive
Board of the Council. The Sc
lection of the site climaXed a
three year search for additional
land to meet the needs of the
rapidly expanding scout popula-
ton on the Del-Mar-Va penin-
sula. Many sites were consid-
cred by the council with the
assistance of the Camping and
Engineering Services of the Ma
tional Boy Scout Council. In
addition to being ideally locat-
ed in the geographical center of
the councils territory, the site
is one of few sizable remote
wilderness areas remaining on
the peninsula. The optioned
acreage to be used for the new
centrally located scout reserva-
ton is at the confluence of the
Marshyhope creek and the Man.
ticoke river, about IL miles
west of Laurel, Delaware, and
near Sharptown, Maryland. Due
to the growing interest in out
door activities, the population
increase, and the need to pro-
vide scouting experience for a
greater number of boys, coupled
with the diminishing available
ity of suitable camping areas in
the peninsula, the Del-Mar-Va
Council is faced with the ne
cessity of securing and develop
ing needed camping areas. "A
long-range planning committee,
headed by William Poole, Will

into outer space from Cape Can

in a spacecraft atop an Atlas
rocket. AT a point l20 miles
above the earth's surface, Am
erica's space pioneer will be
put into orbit around the earth
at speed of more than $4,000
miles an hour" he said. And,
while the spacecraft is orbiting
three times at this speed, the
astronaut will be in communi-
cation with the earth, he point
ed out. The spacecraft and its
occupant will be tracked by
means of Is communications
stations throughout the world.
"By means of these stations, "
Ritter added, personnel of the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration will trace the
astronaut by radar, communi-
cate with him by radio, and
control his flight. The organi-

the industrial team that built
these communications stations

Between thirty-five and forty
volunteers of the Citizens Hose
Company responded to an alarm
at ll:03 p. m, November Is,
to subdue a fire at the town
dump at the northern boundary
of Smyrna. The smoke was so
thick that traffic was brought
to almost a complete standstill
on the Dupont Parkway, and
the Smyrna policeman on duty
placed flares at all strategic
spots and trucks were taken off
the highway and parked on the
shoulder for a short time. Tour
lists turning west on Glenwood
Avenue could not continue for
a brief period and parked on
the right side of the wide high
way until the smoke cleared
away. The alarm was placed
by the patrolman who had
watched the situation carefully,
realizing the hazards. The vol
unteers worked under the di-
rection of Henry Dukes, first
assistant chief. A favoring wind
came up which kept the worst
of the smoke out of the center
of the town, but the smoke fol-
lowed a path down Glenwood
Avenue and curved back over
! the town in the Lake Drive area.
