Knee Better,
Barry Back
With Hoyus

Jim Barry returns to basket
ball practice today at George
town after missing a week with
a knee injury that had Hoya
fans very much worried.
Georgetown's all-time record
scorer had been undergoing
tests to determine whether
surgery would be needed on
his right knee. The diagnosis
is a cyst on the knee, and at
the moment surgery is not re-
quired.
The cyst is believed to have
developed from a knee injury
suffered against Fairfield last
season. In recent practices the
knee would give out after 5 or
10 minutes. Surgery would have
sidelined the 6-foot-5 star from
nine to IL weeks of the forth
coming season.
Coach Tommy O'Keefe said
today that Barry might need
an operation later, but as Of
now he's planning to have him
in the lineup December 4 in
the opening game against
Maryland.
Things are getting back to
normal now" O'Keefe said.

wouldn't stop ringing. people

however. is another question.
Presumably. Charles Town will
close its winter meeting when
Bowie opens. This could be
January 10 or II and make for
a short winter season in West
Virginia.
There is no indication that
Shenandoah will be allotted
winter dates as it was for the
first time last year. But the
glassed-in stands Of the junior
Charles Town track still might
be put to use. There Is a
strong rumor that Shenan-
doah's present late fall meet
ing will be extended from the
scheduled November 80 closing
until December IA.
Holding up the West Virginia
scheduling, in addition to the
Bowie management, is the
Maryland Commission which
apparently will wait until the
December deadline set by law
before announcing its 1864
schedule.
Two of the Maryland mile
tracks want continuous 52-day
meetings in 1864. Bowie would
prefer to stage its meeting
from January to March and
Laurel has indicated it wants
a 52-day meeting which would
begin about October Is.
Pimlico is against this plan
because it would move the
Maryland Jockey Club into a
52-day spring meeting. This
would mean that Pimlico would
surrender its lucrative late fall
dates.
In an attempt to solve the
Maryland date hassle, the rae
ing commission has called in
all Of the track officials from
the milers. minor and harness
organizations for a meeting in
their local office on Thursday.
After that, the five-man
board will have nine days to
decide on the 1864 schedule
as it is unlikely that the tracks
will solve the problem for the
commission.

Bridge Traffic
Increases Over
The Year

The Christmas holiday did
not bring as great an increase
In traffic at Delaware Mem
orial Bridge as was anticipated
but the month of December
provided a five-tenth percent
gain over the previous year.
This is what General Man
ager Frank j. Horty reported
to the Delaware River and Bay
Authority in his monthly ana
lysis which was distributed this
week.
There we're 859,3l2 cross
ings In December compared to
854,72 a year earlier, or an
increase of 4,589 vehicles.
Passenger cars increased by
l0,034 during the period while
truck crossings decreased by
5,5l6 and there we're II more
non-revenue vehicles than in
1861.
For the seven month per-
iod, beginning with the new
fiscal year on June |, 1862
there have been 1909, ,8l4
crossings for an increase of
376, 422 vehicles over that per-
iod in 1861.
This is the first time that
the span has averaged more
than a million cars a month
for a seventh month period,
and indicates to Horty that total
traffic in fiscal 1862 -63 will
show a large increase over
lo6l-62 if the trend continues.
Revenue In December a.
mounted to 1926, ,234.80 as COM
pared to $328,682.40 for Dec
ember 1861, a decrease of
81, ,447.60 or seven tenths of
one percent. This is accounted
for in the decrease In truck
traffic. Trucks pay a higher
crossing rate than passenger
cars.
Revenue for the seven months
period is up 81 percent, the
report shows. Total collections
we're $2,833,875.70 as COM
pared to $2,732, 4l8.65 for the
first seven months in 1861. This
increase amounted to $l0l, =
457.05.
Horty also announced that
Louis Ferrier received the $50
US. Savings Bond in the mon
thly competition among the toll
collectors. A $500 bond was
awarded to Ronald Fairweather
while Howard Wilson, Rudolph

DelaWareans
Attend Valley
Forge Program

Additional recognition of Del
aware's role as the 'First
State" of the Union, was pro-
vided by special ceremonies at
Valley Forge and at Washington
the past Sunday.
1t. Gov. Eugene Lammot gave
the principal address at trad
itional Delaware Sunday exer-
cises in Valley FORCES Wash
ington Memorial Chapel, while
the states flag was given a
position of honor in the morning
procession at the National
Cathedral in the Nations Cap
ital.
AT Valley Forge, 1t. Gov.
Lammot noted that the distin-
ction of Valley Forge "lies in
the fact that it was neither the
scene of victorious battle nor
the scene of heroic defeat. /"
Yet a victory was achieved,
he said, ga victory over an
enemy more dangerous than a
musket ball, more crippling
than the thrust of a bayonet.
Constantly threatened by the
cold which pierce their tattered
uniforms, harassed by lack of
supplies which drained their
waning strength, tormented by
the thought of their defeats and
the military power of the enemy,
they faced the most insidious of
all enemies = the fainmess
of their own hearts....
"From the camp in these
hills came a new American
army strengthened by a hard
won triumph over hunger and
cold, and determined to carry
the fight for freedom to sue
cessful conclusion"
A large group of ofDelawareans
including officers andmembers
of the Delaware Chapters,
S.A.R. and OAR, attended the
Valley Forge exercises. for
which the choir of Calvary Ep-'
iscopai Church, TIillcrest, pro-
vided the music.
Special prayers we're offered
for Delaware and its people dur
ing the service at the National
Cathedral.
The National Cathedral and
the Valley Forge Chapel set
aside a Sunday of the year for
each state in the union, Del
aware is accorded the lead-off
honor, at each location, in re-
cognition of its having been the
first state to ratify the Federal
Constitution.

There's a generation of A
mericans now growing up who
have never bitten into a wormy
apple.
The reason for this, accord
ing to entomologists, is the
rapid development ofpesicides
to control insect and plant pro-
blems that have plagued mans
past efforts to feed himself with
high quality foods.
One such entomologist, a ma
uonal expert in the field of
pesticides, will appear as a
speaker on the Farm and Home
Week program February 5, 6
and 7 at the University of Del
aware's School of Agriculture.
He is DR.. George C. Decker,
head of the section of economic
entomology at the University of
Illinois. DR.. Decker will speak
on "Pros and Cons of Pestic-
ides" during the ll:30 am. gen
eral session at Agricultural
Hall on Tuesday, February 5.
Agricultural scientists from
IL universities, including the
University of Delaware, will ap-
pear on various Farm and Home
Week programs. Other uniYer-
stiles represented are from
Maryland, Iowa, New York, Ill
inois, Ohio, Virginia, New Jer-
sey, Minnesota, Pennsylvania
and Wisconsin.
In addition, representatives
from industry, agriculture and
government will speak during
the % sessions.
The use of pesticides has
created nation wide stir since
"Silent Spring., a book writ
ten by Rachel Carson, was pub
hshed last year. Miss Carson
contends, among other things,
that the use of pesticides upset
the natural worlds delicate bal
ance which may be detrimental
to future generations.
DR.. Dale F. Bray, head of
the Department of Entomology
at the University of Delaware,
said today that there is no
scientific evidence to support
the contention that insecticides
are In any way associated with
mutations or with any human
diseases = if the materials are
used as recommended.

gies, Bray said, but these are

Promotes
Family Safety

A new approach will be used
by the Delaware Safety Coun-
ell in its continuing efforts to
get Delawareans to live longer
by living more safely.
After years of effort and
experimentation with ideas on
how to get safety messages

more emphasis on safety train
ing whiting the family and on
the training of group leaders.
Important attitudes and hab-

parents instill in their children
proper attitudes and habits on
safety, the ultimate result, over
the years, will be improve
ments in safety on the high
ways, at work, and in all activ-
ities.'
The Safety Council will try
to train group leaders--such as
safety chairmen of organi-
zations--in how to impress the
of their organizations
with the importance of promo
tion of family safety. The first
such attempt will be a work.

The morning session will be
devoted to prevention of falls

con speaker will talk on safety
protection. During the afternoon
the workshop will turn to traf-
fic, pedestrian and bicycle safe

1--WE want to show people in
organizations how they can do
more about promoting safety
where we believe it will do the
most good--right in the home"
Ashton said.
All persons interested in
safety promotion are invited to
