more easily If Russia does not
have to worry about keeping up
a mirage of friendship toward
the Chinese.
The Picking View
On their side. the Chinese
apparently have decided that
their friendship with the Rus
slams was getting them no
where. Aid has been cut to q
trickle, and Russian military
help no longer could be counted
on.
Experts feel that Chinese
leader Mao Tse-tung believes
that China will be better of
on her own. This would give
her more diplomatic leverage
particularly in underdevelopec
areas, and might. In fact, gair
her increased prestige in Asia.
As long as China was part
of the Communist camp. she
had to accede to Soviet domi-
nance. Now she may claim that
for the first time in 200 years,
China is free Of foreign influ-
ence.
China already has called
home her ambassador from
Outer Mongolia, q Soviet bloc
country. This may be the first
of several such steps to break
ties with the Soviet bloc, al
though most experts believe
China would prefer Russia To
be blamed for splitting the
movement.

Dr.. Daniel A. Alvarez, who
lived In Cuba during the regimes
of Batista and Castro, was the
guest speaker at the meeting
Of the Smyrna Rotary Club at
the Wayside Inn. He is now
associated with the State Board
of Health.
He said that what has hap
pened In Cuba is the fault of
the Cuban people themselves.
When Castro took over ninety
nine per cent of the people
we're for him and he was very
popular, he stated.
On January l, 1859, when
Castro took over, he had break
fast In the home of DR.. Al
varez and they ralked for six
to eight hours.
When the communists took
over, Alvarez and his family
escaped and we're happy when
they arrived in Miami. He en-
phasized that we should never
underestimate the communists;
never trust them as they are
experienced in their beliefs and
experts in propaganda. Com
munists are not people, they
are numbers, he said.
When Cuba is free again he
will remain in the United States,
he told the Rotarians, and he
hopes that the American peo-
pie will cherish their freedom.

Annexation
Referendum
Set

Smyrna Town Council has
adopted a resolution calling for
a referendum on Sept. 2l for
annexation of Sunnyside Acres,
which lies south of Sunnyside
Road. There will be TWO elect
ions held on that date covering
this area.
The election TOR one area will
include the annexation of all
of Sunnyside Acres formerly
called Belmont Manor) bounded
on the north by Slnnyside Road;
west by stream which divides
SSA from the Mitchell farm; on
the south by property line be-
tween SSA and lands owned by
Louis Caras; and on the east
by a fifteen-foot alley which
runs parallel to DUPONT Park
way.
The second election will
cover the same area bur will
exclude the lots adjacent to Sun
nyside Road which have depth
of approximately las feet, ex-
tending eastward from the east
boundary of West Cook Avenue,
to the l5-foot alley on east
boundary parallel to Route l3.
This second election will in
clude only land owned by
Eastern Shore Builders, Inc.

ford and Hilda HetzeIl, and lots
owned by Wesley College, Do
yer, and St. Peters Episcopal
Church, Smyrna.
In the event that property
owners who have constructed
approximately ten homes on
Sunnyside Road are unfavorable
to the first election, then the
balance of the development un-
der the second election would
be annexed without the dwellings
that have been constructed ad-
jacent to Sunnyside Road.
Annexing the development is a
requirement of the Town of
Smyrna before sewage facilities
can be made available to the

Old Milford
Days To Be
Observed
Sept. 2l-22

Milford, located about mid

city--Dover--and the site of
the first European attempt at
settlement In the Delaware VAL
ley--Lewes--will vie, during
September, with both these lat
ter areas In a bid for pat
ronage of those interested In
historic sites, buildings and
relics.
While Milford is not quite
as old as some Delaware COM
munities, the "Garden City of
Twin Counties" (as the local
Chamber of Commerce refers
to iD has long been the trading
and culture center of lower Del
aware and nearby Maryland
Eastern Shore areas, and a
bounds In well-preserved relics
of its historic past.
With the Milford Historical
Society leading the way, this
l76-year old community will,
during September, appropriate
ly mark the anniversary of its
founding.

homes and buildings will be O.
pened for public viewing. Also
on display, in public buildings
and downtown store windows,
will be many interesting COL
lecuons of relics from Mil
ford's history-packed past.
Focal point of the "Old MIL
ford Days" observance will be
the Parson Thorne Mansion To-
Gated on "Silver Hill" In the
northwestern section of the city.
This newest" of Delaware's
many historical shrines and
tourist attractions is believed to
be the oldest dwelling In the
area and was the home of the
Rev. Sydenham Thorne, CO.
founder with Joseph oliver of
Milford.
An English Colonial type
structure, portions of which
were builtprior to the American
Revolution, the Parson Thorne
Mansion still retains many of
its original features, including
paneling and stairways.
A small family burial plot
nearby contains the graves of
the parents of John M. Clay
ton, a Delawarean who attained
international stature as secre-
tary of state In President Ia
cherry Taylor's cabinet.
The Parson Thorne Mansion
was acquired by the Milford
Historical Society as a gift
from Richard Draper, a mem
Der of family long associated
with the industrial life of the
area. Formal presentation of
the property to the Historical
Society was accomplished last
September during Milford's
l75th anniversary observance.
The mansion is gradually be-
ing restored to its former state
ly appearance and proceeds
from this years "Old Milford
Days" tours will be used to
further this restoration work.

The word from Washington that the Gross National

received well by stock holders and the financial commu-

would be enacted into law. Reduction of corporate in

holders. The money not paid out for taxes would be
available for expansion, additional research and deveL
