to the point where il was necessary
to move to larger dance area. We
are now dancing in the large room
of the Milford Bowling Lanes.

Sheraton-Park Hotel. The staff cal
lers will be Ed Gilmore from Yu-

Many were interested in the

was because a Dover matron

been in Wilmington for the

Since people are being de-
tanned at home this snowy wea-
ther. they will have time to
think about a subject that has
bothered some people and that
includes me. II concerns a
fourth verse that some think
should be added to our State
Song. Beside the fact that II is
already quite long, there re-
mains also. the fact that mi
nor form of heresy would be at
tendant on the addition to a
poem written years ago, and
seemingly complete in its con-
tent. There are some groups
who would add the extra verse,
summing up what the other
three verses have said. 1t
would certainly never occur to
any one to add a verse to some
of the immortal poets work.
and why should 1t be done to
our townsman-George b. Hyn-
son? How do you all feel?

vertibles has boosted convertible

ced by S. K. Knudsen, GM vice
president and general manager of
Pontiac Motor Division.
Offered in both the Bonneville
and Catalina series, convertible
sales hit an all-time peak during
1860, accounting for nine per cent
of all Pontiac deliveries, as COM
pared to IL per cent for the year

been equally divided between the
luxurious Bonneville and the popu-
lar Catalina series.
