Local School
0 n n e |
April 18th
Date Has Been Officially
Set By School Board;
Proposed V Ote Ha S
Become A Topic For
Discussion.

The Milford School Personnel
Referendum scheduled for Wed
nesday, April IS, 1862 has become
a local topic for discussion. Many
citizens are wondering why such
vote is to be taken when families
have to manage very thriftily to
make ends meet.
Below are listed the reasons for
placing the issue before the people
at this time:
l. Scores of citizens have re-
quested your Board of Education
to call for a vote.
2. The Milford School District
local salary for 1962-63 is far be-
low that of neighboring districts
such as Lewes, Rehoboth, SeafOrd,
Harrington, Caesar Rodney, Fell
ton, Frederica, and Dover
3. Since many college graduates
can secure better paying jobs else
where, recruiting of teachers be-
comes increasingly difficult.
4. Perhaps more appreciation
and better remuneration for serv-
ing in public schools would en-
courage more good high school
graduates to consider t e C h er
training.
5. We should try to make those
teachers who have gained expert
ence in the Milford District in
terested in remaining here instead
of going to a neighboring district
where a few hundred dollars in
crease can be secured
6. Almost every thinking person
in this country agrees that the
fate of our nation hangs on our
public schools.
Can we afford to neglect the
foundation of our country?

future. The world of 1864, he
had said, would be engaged in
a vast war in which England
had been wiped out in the first
days fighting.
People scoffed," he said.
But I see now I was conserv-
ative. I should have said the
United States was wiped out
in the first day."
Asks True Democracy
One of Americas foremost
men of science, DR.. Urey
pumped for a democratically
aligned Super-government to
make such q war impossible. A
true democratic union would
utterly overshadow the Com
munist bloc in military, indus
trial and economic might, he
said, making any thought of
war on the part of the Soviets
impossible.
At the same time, DR.. Urey
confessed to inability to fore
see such a union I'm my life
time or in that of people a lot
younger than l." He declined
to make another 25-year fore
cast, or even to predict whether
his 1889 crystal-gazing about
1854 was likely to come true.
A sturdily built man of
slightly under medium height,
DR.. Urey has been in the fore
front Of American scientists
for a generation. He won the
Nobel prize in chemistry in
1884 for iSolating the heavy
form Of hydrogen which is now
