Fluoridation in Lewes ap-
parently will hinge on "a report
of the chemicals effect on the
towns water pipes.
Perry T. Burton, town public
works commissioner, said that
the public Works Board has been
given the green light from the
Town Commission to fluoridate
the water system pending a
favorable report from a chemi-
cal analysis firm.
He said water samples from
the towns system have been
sent to the testing firm and
fluorids will be introduced In
the samples to determine II 1t
will corrode water pipes.
The town commissioners and
the public Works Board came to
this agreement in Joint meet
ing, he said.
This would mean a proposed
referendum will not be held on
the. question Of using the chemi-
cal.
Mrs. Janice Mason, P. T. A.
fluoride committee chairman,
had called on the townspeople
to write the commission stating
their opinion on using the chemi-
cal.
Lewes Post No. II Is busy
making plans for one Of the big
gest and best celebrations that
has been held in Lewes. The
committee for the Legion con-
sists Of Lee Dunn, Walter Dono-
van, Clarence Edgens, Earl
Paris, Curt Roney, Eugene
Hazard, Anthony Danrow, Al
fred Tindle, Thomas Plummer
and Ronald Donovan.
This year the committee has
decided to call off the bicycle |
races, due to children getting |
hurt. Instead, the Post has de-
cided to have two bicycle |
parades.
The celebr alton will start at
1000 am, July Fourth, on Sec
ond Street, in Lewes. The other
events scheduled are: tire race,
running races, three-legged
races, potato races, egg race,
milk drinking for Beach House
children only, greasy pole climb,
pie eating contest and flour root
ing contest. These races and
contests will be for boys and
girls IL years old and under.
No one over this age limit
will be allowed to enter these
events.
This year Lewes Post No. IL
will not be around to take up
donations Of cash for these
events, because they have enough
money to sponsor this program
with what they have left over
from last year.
The entire program this year
will last approximately two
hours. The Lewes Post No. II
asks that everyone turn out for
these races and show the young
sters that they are interested
In them and want them to have a
good time.
Michael Roe, a veteran at the
Children's Beach House, at Lew
es, changed large brass bell,
and % campers rushed out Of
the brightly-lit dining room for
the playground.
For the camper now at the
Beach House since June 18th
from all over the state, the
routine was still strange, ex-
cept for the old-timers like 10
year-old Michael.
The first day was a busy one
for campers and staff alike.
The campers, ranging in age
from 6 to Is, are boys and girls
with orthopedic handicaps and
speech and hearing difficulties.
The newcomers spent the first
day getting acquainted with the
other children and the staff and
viewing the ocean. For others
the return was a chance to visit
with Mrs. Ksthrine Jones, ex-
scutive director, who is marking
her 18th year at the house at
