Fast-Class Action at
Brandywine Promised

There are no stake races on
the docket for Brandywine
Raceway this week, but Racing
Secretary James M. Lynch re-
ports thereTl be plenty of fast
class action during the weekend
when local aristocrats get to-
gether In several more rich
Invitationals.
Brandywine is housing do
Zens of under-two minute hor-
ses for the earlier-than-ever
meet, and with this miracle"
set seeing steady action In rich
races, there is everypossibility
that fans will see several sub
200 miles before the season
ends.
Brandywine has been the
scene of under-two-minute-
miles annually since 1860 when
the now retired Adios Butler
triggered a 1854 which still
stands as the track record. In
1861 he went In l:59.l and last
year Henry T. Adios notched a

When fire strikes your home,
your first action is to get fam
lily members out safely. Before
the danger strikes is the time
to take preventive measures,
says Miss Coral K. Morris,
extension home management
specialist at the University of
Delaware.
If you are planning to re-
model, or are still scanning
blueprints of your home-to-be,
it's not too late to make changes
that will reduce or eliminate
fire hazards, she points out.
Plaster, gypsum and plaster
board or wall boards thar have
been treated to retard fire are
best for wall and ceiling use.
Beware of pressed paperboard,
untreated fiberboard and ply
wood panels which have been
prefinished with highly flam-

woods, says Miss Morris.
Certain of the treated paints
also give off protective vapors.
Other swell and form an insula-
ted coating.
Safe materials for roofs in
clude asphalt shingles or metal,
tile or slate that resists
showers of sparks.
A large window or door lead
ing to the outside is a must for
every room, and especially In
bedrooms. Unfortunate traged-
les have occurred In modern
homes with high, small win
dows when occupants couldn't
get out and firemen couldn't
get in. Minimal size is "a by
80 inches, set low enough to
permit escape In case of fire.
Larger windows are better.
Without doors to act as bar
rters, fire races through open
areas and can turn a house into
a match box In moments. Most
of the danger In fires is from
being overcome by smoke and
hot gases. All bedrooms should
have substantial doors. When
kept closed at night, they are
the greatest protection In a
fire.
Barriers of wood or masonry
can be used between studs, joi-
SITS and rafters to prevent
smoke and hot gases from ris-
ing or spreading.
Many homes in open rural
areas are targets for lightning.
Television antennas and alum
mum siding should be ground
ed.
Safety devices which you can
buy for your home are sprink-
lers; fire ladders which fold
against the house and look like
drainpipe; and automatic fire
detection systems.

Smyrna's future Industrial
growth will be jeopardized If the
states only commercial air
line service is currailed or ell
minated, an official of the Del
aware State Chamber of Com
merce said this week.
Ross E. Anderson, Jr., ex-
ecutive vice president of the
Chamber, said that a move
ment by Allegheny Airlines to
reduce service TO the Greater
Wilmington Airport can have
only negative effect on Smyr-
mas attractiveness as a site
for new industry.
The Greater Wilmington Air
port is the only airport in the
state served by commercial
airlines.
MIR. Anderson said that the
Allegheny move and other de-
velopments, which cannot yet
be made public, could lead to
the eventual discontinuance of
commercial passenger service
at the airport.
Earlier this week, G. Roy
Eaton, chairman of the Airport
Commission, stated that the
airport is petidoning the Civil
Aeronauucs Board to require
Allegheny to restore east-west
service between Wilmington and
Pittsburgh and to restore north
bound flights to Boston.
On March 27 of this year the
CAB announced an investigation
would begin of the east-west
service, to determine If there
was sufficient need to warrant
federally-subsidized air SER
vice. Six days later, without
waiting for the Boards deter
mination, Allegheny filed a sch
edule change which discontinued
the Pittsburgh flight as of May
l.
Earlier, Allegheny had halted
its northbound flights to Boston,
terminating one at Philadelphia
and the other at Newark, NJ,
The Greater Wilmington Air
port charges that Allegheny's
action Is illegal and that service
should be restored.
Anderson said that every city
and town In the state such as
Smyrna has deep-seated in
terest In the CAB decision af-
fecting the Greater Wilmington
Airport.
There are a number of fac
tors which industries consider

he said. zone of the important
factors is air transportation.
In some cases, air transport
alton is the principal factor. !"
He pointed out that, If the
Salisbury, Md. airport should
lose its commercial service,
the Greater Wilmington Air
port would be the only one with
commercial airline service re-.
naming on the entire Del
marva Peninsula.
Salisbury's service has been
placed on a ''Use | or Lose
1t" basis by the CAB, a step
which could lead to the sus-
pension of service there.
'For the entire state of Del
aware, and possible the entire
Delmarva Peninsula to be with

is unthinkable," MIR. Anderson
