High In


Standardized tests admins
tered at the end of the year to
various classes of high school
students in the John Bassett
Moore High School of the
Smyrna Special School District
showed that achievement levels
in most areas we're quite sat
isfactory, and that some areas
we're we'll above anticipated
norms.
Highest achievement results
we're found in Algebra where
approximately half of the 100
students taking the course
earned scores that placed them
in the top fourth of scores
earned nationally in the stand
ardized testing program.
School District officials noted
that TWO separate tests we're
used in the Algebra testing pro-
gram. One at semester time and
a completely different seta the
time of the final exams. This
was done in part to check on the
exceptionally high scores ear
ned during the first semester.
The results of the second test
confirm the high scores earned
at semester time.
Excellent scores we're also
obtained in the final exam :
nations given for A chemistry
students where 43% of these
students earned scores that
placed them in the upper
quartile. In Geometry 42% of
the students earned scores that
placed them in the upper quar- :
tile.
Other high scoring areas in
cluded Biology and Physics.
No standardized tests were
given this year at the end of the
year in English but these tests
are planned for the fall. Accept
able or slightly better than
acceptable results we're found in
American History, Latin, and
basic skills in Arithematic for
grade 7.
The Standardized Testing
Program is administered thro-
ughout the District in various
grade levels so that teachers
may obtain information as to
how their classes stand in COM
parison with classes nationally,
that information on various stu
dents can be obtained for use in
assisting these students in de-
termining areas theymight wish
to follow In later education, and
to assist the school administra-
tion in determining whether the
School District is achieving sat
isfactorily in comparison to
other schools throughout the ma
tion.

1898 In Area Favor
Coming of Shell Rein cry

Residents of Blackbird Humid
red definitelywant the Shell Oil
Company refinery as a neigh
Dor, John E. Wilson, Jr., Smyr-
ma, said today.
They are backed bymore than
1000 neighbor petitioners in a
ten mile radius who are of the
same opinion.
Wilson, who is chairman of
Operation NEED, (New Employ
ment for Economic Devel OPP
ment) directed the effort to de-
termine exactly how citizens In
the affected area felt concerning
industrialization along the Del
aware shore. He said the re-
suits we're amazing.
1--WE have ESQ pages of signed
petitions, Wilson declared,
"and they are carefully audited.
There were only Is duplicate
names in the lot and these we're
not counted in the final figure of
1898 signers
Wilson said the area was d.
vided into four sectors for the
campaign and that Paul Bradley,
Blackbird Hundred community
chairman submitted an out
standing report.
'Mr. Bradley canvassed
every home In the Hundred,
Wilson continued. "He went to
those whom he knew we're op-
posed to She'll, just for the
record. He recorded l025 sig
natures in the Hundred. Only
Is people refused to sign and a
number who opposed the refin-
cry a year ago we're recorded
favorably. All of the figures are
carefully indexed.
eve also have in our poss-
ession rs resolutions passedby
town government bodies, civic
and fraternal groups and cham
bers of commerce, represent
ing additional thousands ofpeo-
pie. Each unit sent a copy of
its resolution to President Mon
roe E. Spaight, Shell Oil Com
pany, New York, City. The COM
pany knows now how the people
most affected by the proposed
refinery have reacted.
"The area and community
chairmen were a dedicated lot
in this undertaking and did a
most thorough job. They want
ed to make sure that Operation
NEED would have an honest
and comprehensive report to
offer as evidence that Shell
is acceptable to them. We are
thankful to all who gave hund-
reds of hours of time to help
compile this report, Wilson
continued.
He pointed out that while some
out-of-town newspapers had ex-
pressed views of paid pro-
pagandist to denounce Shell for
wanting to locate on the Del
aware River, it was not - and
in no way reflected = the opin-
ions and wishes of the people
most concerned with the pro-
posal.
"We hope this report, which
any and all may view, will end
all this talk of opposition. We
further hope that our courts take
such action that will assure the
fulfillment of the wishes of the
citizens of Blackbird Hundred
and surrounding areas.
1--WE feel that Shells coming
to Delaware will mean much to
the economy in Lower New
Castle and Upper Kent Counties
and we mean to fight until our
goal is achieved, Wilson con-
cluded.

tions are on record include:

az Shopping Survey
r. What do young mothers
like when they go supermar-
ket shopping for their small
fry? According to q new Ger
Der survey they want the
baby foods department in the
early-shopped aisle.
Some 5000 mothers an
swered the QUESTIONABLE,
which was not identified with
Gerber's but with baby foods
in general. OF this number,
"a per cent suggested that
baby foods departments be
located at the front of the
store so that jars would not
be piled on top Of produce
and dairy products. Some 43
per cent were critical about
the congested area and heavy
traffic in the baby food Sec
ton and 81 per cent thought
stores needed more aisle
space in this department,
OF the service provided by
the stores, shopping carts
with baby seats were tops on
the list; carry-out service
came next, followed by
check k-cashing service and fl
nally trading stamps.
The survey showed that 16
per cent Of those interviewed
had changed stores for such
reasons as a better selection
of brands and varieties and
easier shopping in the de-
partment.
Shopping habits were also
studied and replies showed
that 76 per cent Of the moth
ers shop once a week for
baby foods; IL per cent make
two trips and l per cent
buy once every two weeks.

U.S.-PhiIippines
Friendship Called
''IndeS+ruc+ibIe"

MANILA, MAY 30-President
Macapagal reaffirmed, at the
Memorial Day services held at
Fort Mckinley, the indestructi-
bility of Philippine American
friendship.
He said that the alliance be-
tween the peoples of the two
countries should not and cannot
be destroyed even by indiffer-
ence and disdain by some of
their officials FOR the feelings of
tested friends. At the same time
the President reiterated the Phil
ippines' firm position against
neutralism.
After tracing the struggle of
the Philippines for political and
economic emancipation, the
President explained that Amer
lea merely gave constitutional
substance to the freedom that
the Filipinos treasured and
fought for.
This is the substance of free
dom which does not permit us
today" he said, Ito be ever un-
der-committed, to be equivocal
or sit on the fence of neutra-
lism."
The President said, 'it was
this constitutional substance of
freedom which is legacy from
America that tells us that the
answer to the atheistic expan-
sion is firmness, determination,
support to those who are COM
mitted to freedom - more of
these and less of dependence on
the word of those who by their
action have so often discredited
their word and less of political
experiment at the sacrifice of
friends"
The mixed crowd of Filipinos
and Americans listened intently
to the Presidents speech be-
cause the afternoon papers pre-
dicted another blast at the Uni
ted States foreign policy favor
ing a neutral Laos.
