1t happened on November %
last year.
Temporary Sub-Carrier Rich
ard v. Cover of Route /, Clarks-
burg, was on duty as a parcel
post carrier.
Here's the way Lee C.
Hooker, Rockville's acting post
master, described it:
while delivering parcel post
to the Summit Apartments on
Monroe st. in Rockville, he
heard children screaming.
''He quickly ran toward the
area from which he heard the
screams and noticed child at
the edge of a swimming pool
behind a chain link fence. He
scaled the fence, cutting both
hands on the jagged top in the
process and ran to the pool.
HE noted that a young child
dressed in heavy winter cloth
ing had fallen into the deep end
of the water-filled pool and was
barely being held above water
by an even younger child.
HE recovered the child from
the pool and returned both
children to their home. :.
"The pool area was complete
ly deserted and it is practically
a certainty that the little boy
would have drowned had not
Mr.. Cover happened by when he
did and made the rescue"
The child Cover pulled from
the water was a four-year-old
boy and it was his three-year-
old sister who was trying to
help the boy. They are the
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Nor
man Montigny.
! Cover said nothing of the
incident when he returned to
the post office after the days
rounds.
1t was some time later that
the parents letter was routed
to Rockers office. Hooker then
recommended the 25-year-old
carrier for a Post Office award,
an award which was presented
during ceremonies here yester-
day.
Mike Monroney, jr., executive
assistant to Postmaster General
Edward Day, presented Cover
with the superior accomplish
ment award, a gold lapel EN-.
blem reading Beyond the Call
of Duty" and a 500 cash award.
The ceremony was held at
the main post office building in
Rockville with a majority of
local post office personnel on
hand.
Hooker said Cover is the next
man on the list to be added to
the regular post office compile
ment here when permanent
opening occurs.
The award is the first to be
made at the Rockville office
and, as Hooker says, but for the
letter from the child's parents,
'his outstanding act might have
gone unobserved."

Goal Of $315,O42
Set For Annual
Red Cross Drive

A goal of $315,042 has been set
for the 1862 Red Cross fund drive
in Delaware opening March l, it
was announced by Lammot d u
Pont, Jr., chairman of the state
chapter.
The quota this year is $4,957
higher than last years target of
s310,085 and will provide 70 r
$171,772 or 54.52 per cent to re-
main in Delaware to defray the
costs of the Red Cross program.
The remaining $143,270 or 45.4S
per cent will be allotted for
National Red Cross needs.
The funds last year were di-
vided between $167,340, or 51.S0
per cent for state, and $142,745, or
1920 per cent, for national.
John N. Mcdowell, a member of
the chapters board of directors,
who headed the 1861 drive, is serv-
this year.
Mr.. du Pont appealed for a more
generous response from all Della
wareans and urged increased gifts
in line with suggested standards
of fair-share giving. He said solicit
tation must be pushed in every
area of the campaign so that the
goal may be achieved.
"The cost of providing Red Cross
service to Delawareans has in
creased" Mr. du Pont said. "The
contributions go to continue all
Red Cross services and to expand
the program so that more people
may be served in this state
"The Red Cross campaign theme
for 1862 is When you give...we can
help Mr. du Pont declared.
Whenever and wherever there is
human suffering caused by dis
aster or disease, Red Cross is the
great humanitarian organization
that can and does move in and
help.
There never has been a time in
the history of the world when it
is so necessary for freedom-lOving
people to carry forward the work
of the Red Cross and to keep alive
its ideal of mans humanity to
man"
Mr.. du Pont said the Red Cross
here in Delaware has an I'M
portant job to do day in and day
out to help members of the armed
services, veterans and their fam
lilies; to provide training in first
aid, water safety, small craft
safety and home nursing without
charge; to furnish disaster relief,
and to prepare children through
High School and Junior Red Cross
and its youth activities to become
the nations responsible leaders of
tomorrow.
Mr.. du Pont explained that the
program of disaster relief carried
on by the Red Cross includes food,
clothing and maintenance; repair
and rebuilding of homes and other
buildings; replacing household
furnishings; payment of d o O +
and hospital bills, and supplies,
