Petit Jurors State Pupils
Are Named Rated High
In Kent County In Fitness S
State Wide Reports From
The Fifth To Twelfth
Grade Now In Process
OF Being Readied.

A forthcoming physical fitness
report on Delaware public school
students from the fifth through
the 18th grades Will show the
states students rank above the ma
tional average.
Roy d. Moore, football coach at
Delaware State College, is prepar-
ing the report now. He expects to
have it printed within six weeks.
All statistics aren't in yet on
girls, but the boys report, which
is in the rough, indicates the state
ranks slightly above the national
average in seven physical tests.
All of the Delaware pub 4 c
schools except one are participate
ing in the program with about
1900 students included in the final
report, said Moore.
Moore said the states ranking
above the national average doesn't
necessarily mean a great deal. He
pointed out that some states might
be very high but the average could
be dragged down by states with
poor physical education programs.
The Delaware program is under
the direction of George w Ayars,
state director of health, physical
and driver education.
The fitness tests used have been
adopted by the American Associa-
ton for Health. Physical Educa-
tion and Recreation.
The tests are: PullupS, SitupS,
shuttle run. standing broad jump,
so yard dash, softball throw for
distance and the 500 yard run and
walk
Moore said the report would be
very informative when completed
There is still a lot to be desired, >
he said.

Mayor Protests
 Russian Fishing Conduct In Area

Mayor M. c. Coon of Kodiak, Tuesday, sent a wire of protest to Gov. William Egan of Alaska on the conduct of Russian fishermen in the Kodiak area.
 The wire was sent after Capt. flames Westman of the motor yes sel Hula" complained that he had lost over $500 in gear alone and has quit fishing.
 Mayor Coon's wire, in part, said, Foreign fishing fleets operating off our shores are not showing any respect whatsoever for our own fishermen's gear. They are drag ging through our fishermen'S sets showing no regard, taking pots and Jagged buoys in their dragging procedures.

Governor Says Russian TrawIer Moves
 Could Be Explosive; Calls For Action

JUNEAU (H)-GoV. Egan urged the US. State Department to con- fer immediately with Russia over conflicts between Soviet and Amer ican fishing operations off Kodiak Island.
 UNDER OBSERVATION
 It has been widely reported, but not confirmed, that US. Navy and Coast Guard ships are in the Two Headed Island area where Russian trawlers have forced American fishing vessels from grabbing waters, on Ob- servatOry cruises.
 The cruises apparently came on the heel of Gov. Egan's wire to the State Department on Thursday.
 The Governor wired Undersec- retary of State George Ball a week after Kodiak King Crab Boat Skip per Lee Andrich told the Kodiak Mirror that the presence of IA Soviet trawlers forced him to aban- don prime crab waters 30 miles south of Kodiak.
 Hannes Westman, Kodiak, the skipper of the 80-foot vessel "Tula'' made similar protest this week

Along The
Waterfront
By Karl Armstrong

Things are beginning to pop now in the matter of the Com mic fishing pirates which moved massively into our prime Two Headed Island king crab fishery during the past two weeks. As this is being written today we are aware that the press wire services have become alerted to the fast moving developments occurring here now .. newsmen and photographers are enroute to Kodiak -. state department officials are expected Gov. Bill Egan will arrive Monday and rumOr has it that it is even possible that he may attempt to personally board the command ing vessel of the Russian pirate fleet in some hope of negotiating their immediate withdrawal in the interest of conservation and plain ordinary fair play. The matter has been brought to Pres ident Kennedy's attention by Lloyd Cannon, president of the Fishermen's Marketing AssOcia- tiOn we understand, and an ap- peal may possibly be made to our JUN. Delegate Adlai Steven son in hope that he will focus world attention to this wanton Red rape of our fishery and their open acts of piracy of our fishing gear.

This Sunday At
Good Shepherd

"AOTlIEVING THE Diff
CULT'-Nehemiah 6:1 4, is
the theme and text for Divine
worship at the Good Shepherd
Lutheran Church located at
1899 Clare boulevard, with
services beginning promptly
at 10:45 am.
In our text the question aris-
es, Why was Nehemiah able to
say, the task is finished? He
saw what God wanted done in
his day and gave himself to the
doing of the task. He carefully
considered the way by which
it seemed to him that work
could be done. When he had
adopted his plan he risked
everything in carrying it out.
He presented his ideas to his
group of workers. He contin-
ually inspired and urged -
drove-them by hih example
and his cheering words. He
refused to allow any interrupt
tions. It was no time to talk
when there was yet required
work. In building the Kingdom
of God here you can jobs that
host Of believers that nothing
can dismay, deceive or defeat.
