Former Smyrna
Girls Husband
Accident Victim

Richard D. Saltzer was killed
instantly last Friday night when
he was crushed beneath three
toppling containers of metal
parts at the Dana corporation,
Pottstown, Pa. Saltzer was the
husband of the former Marie
FAIRIES, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Ralph G. FAIRIES, South Street,
Smyrna. He was a me..tal-lurgi-
cal technician and had worked
at the Dana plant for Is years.
Roger N. Berkes, plant person
mel manager in explaining the
tragic accident, said Saltzer left
the laboratory to go to the fin
ished stores department appar-
emily to pick up a journal for
testing back at the lab. He was
walking in an aisle between
rows of stacked metal tote
boxes" four foot square con-
tainers holding finished parts.
Just opposite where the acci-
dent occurred another employe
was operating fork lift truck.
Three of the parts-filled contain
ers between Saltzer and the
fork lift truck suddenly toppled
over onto the victim, crushing
him to the floor. He was pro-
nounced dead at Memorial Hos
pital of multiple crushing injur-
les o fthe chest and body. Berkes
said, 'It was a chance in a mil
lion they went over and a
chance in several million that
anyone would happen to be on
the opposite side at the exact
instant they fell" Saltzer, SO,
was a decorated veteran of Pa
cific campaign combat in World
War II at Luzon, Philippines,
and New Guinea. His wife is
a laboratory technician at Mem
orial Hospital. Also surviving
is a daughter, Barbara D., 8,
and the victims widowed moth
er, Ann Richards Saltzer. Fun
eral services were held Monday
evening from the Houck Fun
eral home with the Rev. L.
Samuel Krouse, associate pas
tor of Emmanuel Lutheran
Church, officiating. Interment
was in Odd Fellows Cemetery,
Smyrna, Tuesday morning. The
plant ceased operations Monday

ployes of the second shift to
attend the funeral.

Local School
Badly Damaged
By Vandals
Over Weekend

The Smyrna Elementary School
on School Lane and South
Streets, was entered by vandals
on Sunday, February IL, some
time after loo a. m. School
officials noted that very little
money, evidently less than $40,
was taken since the School Dis
trict does not keep money of
any sizable amount in any of
the buildings overnight. How
ever, it does appear that rec
ord player was taken and the
locks on a number of doors
were broken open and the doors
badly damaged. Many of the
classrooms were entered; some
with keys obtained from an Of
flee key rack and others forcib-
ly. The intruders entered the
principals office, the nurses Of
flee, and the cafeteria and stor-
age areas. The building was en-
tered by a lavatory window at
the rear of the school where the
lock was broken by pressure
from the outside. A dance was
underway at the school Satur-
day evening, under the sponsor
ship of the Kent County Stud
ent Council. This dance ended
at IL p. M, but school person
mel were in the building until
approximately loo a. m. The
damage was discovered by Fred
Shane, Chief Custodian, at $50
a. M, on Sunday morning as he
was making his usual inspec-
ton of the heating plant. Mr.,
Shane Immediately notified the
Smyrna police. An attempt is
being made at the present time
to evaluate the extent of the
damage in terms of cost.

offices in Sussex County and
Direct Distance Dialing" and
"All Number Calling" will be
placed in service for seven GEN.
tral offices in Kent County on
April Is. The announcement
was made today by John D.
Moore, local manager for the
Diamond State Telephone Com
pany. For Sussex County "All
Number Calling" (or "ANC" for
short) uses seven-fgure tele-
phone numbers. With "ANC," +"
three-figures will prefix the last
four figures of present numbers.
For example, National 9-8455
might become 629-8455. Sched-
uled for "ANC" on April Is
are the following Sussex Coun-
ty central Offices with their
three figure designations: Edge
water 337, Fieldstone 349, Ma
tional 629 and Trojan 875. When
"ANC" starts, there will be no
change in the method of making
local calls in the free calling
area. On calls beyond their loc-
al calling area, these customers
will place it with the operator.
In most cases the three figures
will prefix the last four figures

"A few telephone numbers will
have to be completely changed
because of central Office equip
ment rearrangements.

Information Series
Smyrna-Clayton School Consolidation
To Be Decided by Voters March II

On Saturday March l7h residents of the Smyrna and
ton communities will have the opportunity relative
consolidation of the two school districts In order that public
can be fully informed of this proposed merger The Smyrna
is running series of articles in question and FORM you
have questions you wish answered please to the
Smyrna Times There will open meeting for interested
residents on Wednesday, February 28th m in the High
School Library on Frazier Street Smyrna which time Smyrna
and Clayton school board members will be present answer
questions
Smyrna times., 1962-02-15

What will consolidation of
Clayton and Smyrna Do?
If the Smyrna and Clayton
School Districts vote to consoli-
date, then the two districts will
become one district with one
school board, one administra-
tion, and one tax rate. This will
allow the residents of Smyrna
and Clayton to work together in
support of a single unified
school district rather than the
present feeder district" system.
Very few school districts in the
State have the serious "feeder
district" problem that exists in
this area. Most districts have
complete supervision of all pu-
pills in grades one through IL
that come to their schools. In
these districts coordinated Su-
pervision and programming may
be accomplished. There is bill
in the legislature to wipe out"
feeder districts. However, it is
generally considered better to
let the districts voluntarily con-
solidate to improve their own
situations.
What are the advantages of
such a consolidation?
The advantages may be rough
ly divided into educational ad-
vantages, administrative advant-
ages, and financial advantages.
What are the Educational ad-
vantages?
A large district, if it does not
become too large, may give
many services that are not fin
ancially possible in a small dis
trict. Modern-day edu c a I'll o n
with its stepped-up require
ments is demanding greater
specialization at all grade levels.
The 9Th grade Algebra program
in Smyrna is one illustration.
In order that some students
who will be interested in Engi-
neering or other highly tech
nical post-high school work may
get enough high school mathe-
matics, it has become desirable
to offer advanced mathematics
in the senior year. This can
not be done unless some adj
vanced mathematics is offered
in 7th or 9th grade. At the pres
ent time the Smyrna District is
offering some students advanc-
ed mathematics in grade z and
algebra in grade s. These stu
dents have been doing very well.
The 9Th grade pupils are achiev-
ing just as well as their 9th
grade classmates. They will. fin
ish all the usual" high school
mathematics by grade III and
be able to take advanced math-
ematics or science in their sem
ior year.
Such work must be taught by
we'll qualified teachers. 1t is a
mistake to think that all 9th
graders will benefit from such
a course or that anyone can
teach it. In Smyrna these 9th
graders are placed in with 9th
graders so that the school knows
that they are getting advanced
work and achieving we'll. 9th

Steel Output Rises
9th Time in 9 Weeks

NEW YORK, Jan. 80 (AP).-
Steel production moved upward
last week for the eighth time
in nine weeks.
The American Iron g. Steel
Institute placed output at o.
100000 tons, the best since
2,4l7,000 were poured during
the week ended April 9, 1860.
The latest figure was 81 per
cent above the previous weeks
2,341 900.
The steel industry is running
at above 80 per cent of esti-
mated capacity. A good part
of the production has been
based on buying in anticipa-
ton of a possible steel strike
June 80 when industry labor
contracts expire.
For the four weeks of 1862
output totaled 1926, 900 tons, or
better than 60 per cent above
the 5,808.000 produced in tbs
similar period of 1861.
