scholarship. Although she eats
readily with chopsticks (every-
thing, including peas) and has
eaten at European and American
style restaurants, the family
uses silverware at dinner.
What does Mickey think Of
America? Her favorite foods are
ice cream (Which they cannot
get as easily in her country,
cake and pastries. She also likes
coke which they have had in
Japan since a year ago "They
like America, so they like coke. f"
Compared to Japan, where most
people marry between twenty and
twenty-eight, we marry young.
Mickey approves of students
working when they are sixteen
or so, even though they don't
in japan. In school here she
likes French and tipping best
and hopes to return to a four
year university education after
she completes high school.
Finally, Mickey wants to see
all sides Of America the rich
and the poor alike. She hopes
to do some type of international
work later on and wants to use
this year to good advantage. ''I
want to see with my own eyes. :.
hear with my own ears. to
experience America" she adds.

through the left side of the line
and stormed 25 yards for the
touchdown. Milford had the ball
once more before the half and
got down to about the Lewes
3O-yard line, but was unable
to carry it in before the half
ended.
The Bucs went to the locker
room for intermission with their
biggest lead Of the season, 1870.
Milford monopolized the ball
for the most part in the third
quarter, but did not seriously
threaten until early in the next
period when they got the pig
skin from Lewes on the visitors
40-yard line. On the first play
from scrimmage, reversal
again gave the ball to Davis
who darted through the left side
of the line, evaded tacklers,
found some open field, and
streaked 40 yards for his third
touchdown Of the evening. Fitz-
gerald, the BucS' extra point
kicker, split the uprights and
Milford's lead was stretched to
200.
Milford still wasn't through
though, for they got possession
again and drove down to the 35-
yard line of Lewes. Jerry Saw
age, then playing fullback, was
given the ball and he crashed
up the middle, into the open,
and picked up 80 yards before
he was finally dropped on the
5-yard line. Savage got the ball
going through the middle again
on the next play and he lunged
in for the score. Fitzgerald fol-
lowed up with his third "Point
After Touchdown" of the game.
Lewes was unable to move the
ball after the kickoff and the
gun sounded with Milford storm
ing to its third victory with an
impressive 20 score.
With last Fridays victory,
Coach Mcfarland hopes that his
Bucs can continue to push right
on to the top of the conference.
But, to keep up this pace, the
boys need the support of their
fans. Tonight they will battle it
out with tough Smyrna Eleven
at Smyrna. It should be a good
example Of real, hard-nosed
football, so try to get up to the
Smyrna stadium and cheer on
your Bucs.
This game and every game has
been reported by Tom Parvis,
one Of the Milford Team Man
ayers.

Social Security
Aids Migrant Here
Continued from page ID

Continued from page II
Williams Travelled through the
South, supporting himself with
odd Jobs, In Pompano, Florida
he joined a migrant labor crew
heading North. When the crew
got to Delaware, Mr.. Williams
was almost back home.
But, 1t didn't work out that
way. While working in Delaware,
he was struck by a car and
ended up in the Milford Memorial
Hospital. When the crew had to
move on, Mr.. Williams was left
behind. He had no friends or
, relatives and very little money.
Then, one day, after Mr..
Williams had been in the hos
pital for some time, John
Gianoncelli, Assistant Manager
of the Dover Social Security Of
flee, stopped at the hospital. He
had no idea that Mr.. Williams
was there but had stopped to see
another patient. The other pa
tient told him about Mr..
williams. Once he was located,
it was a simple matter Of fill
ing out a change Of address so
that his Social Security checks
could come to him at the hos
pital.
When Mr.. Williams is dis
charged from the hospital, he
plans to return to Trenton, New
Jersey. The Social Security
benefits he will receive will en-
able him to get back there and
to get settled down again.
Mr.. Gianoncelli pointed out
that the information the Social
Security administration has
about any claimant IS held strict
ly confidential. The facts in Mr..
Williams case are being made
public with his consent. He hopes
that his case will serve as a
reminder to other people getting
Social Security benefits that they
should always let the Social Sc
curity Administration know when
they change their address.
Mr.. Gianoncelli also explained
that the Social Security office
for this area, located at 230 w.
Loockerman Street in Dover, has
forms to be used for changing
addresses. However, he added, it
is not necessary to use the form.
Anything that has the name,
social security number and new
address will be alright as long
as It is signed.

Blue Jays in their only serious
offensive drive on the two-yard
line.
In the second half, Coach Ed
Payne's potent offense began to
jell with Fischer, Hoyt and
Wroten tearing off long gains
through gaping holes In the Sea-
ford defensive line. Timely
passing kept the Seaford de-
fense off balance. Midway
through the third quarter, Dennis
Hoyt, on a halfback option play
that was perfectly executed,
threw a strike to John Davis for
a touchdown. The play covered
40 yards. The point, after touch
down, was made on a plunge by
Hoyt.
Again, in the third quarter,
the Bucs took possession Of the
ball on the Milford thirty-yard
line and drove to the eight yard
line when Jim Wroten scored on
a trap play. The final score,
a ten-yard scamper through the
middle Of the Seaford line, by
Hoyt. was the elimination of a
fifty yard drive.
