According to David H. Coch-
ran, general chairman, there
will be at least two floats In
the parade and other colorful
units will include Nur's Legion
of Honor, patrol and the past

Delaware was the only state
In the union which did not have
a Temple In 1851. A commit
tee headed by William Uffel-
man prepared material which
was presented at a national
convention In Miami, Florida
and permission was secured to
organize. The Temple has
grown throughout the years.
Its main object is to assist
charitable institutions.
Nur Temple, of which Mayor
Juel c. "Steve" Stamper is a
member, is marking its tenth
anniversary this year, and for
that reason the turnout is ex-
pected to be especially heavy

Shell Oil
Construction
Unlikely
Before '67

Present Shell OH Co. plan
ming does not call for con-
struction on the acreage held
by the company near Taylor's
Bridge for at least 8 u years.
A spokesman for Joseph G.
Wilson, manager of manufac-
turing and engineering for Shell
OIL in New York, said recently
it does not appear likely that
construction of the $50 mil
lton-plus refinery will start
before sometime In 1867.
According to Wilson's ap-
praisal of Shells construction
program, a large West Coast
expansion of refining facilities
In existing plant locations will
come ahead of the Delaware
project
The company says 1t has
acquired sufficient acreage for
its primary needs but is still
interested In obtaining peri
meter land In the extreme
southeast corner of New Castle
County.
The general bounds of the
site are the Smyrna River, the
road from Taylor's Bridge to
Fleming's Landing, Cedar
Swamp and Delaware Bay. The
refinery site is locally known
as the DeakWeville area.
First announcement of Shells
plans for the Delaware site
came In May, 1861, and the ap-
plication for rezoning of the
acreage went through bitter
fight before receiving approval.
A spokesman for Shell said
the company will go along with
the Delaware River Basin Com
missions request for sub
mission of its planned opera
lions for approval = some time
before work starts.
In Trenton, headquarters of
the commission, spokesman
for James F. Wright, executive
director, said formal clearance
is required by the commits sion
of a project such as that plan
ned by Shell. He said the COM
mission has been in touch with
Shell, and they are "aware of
the position taken by the COM
mission.
The commission spokesman
said there is no question of the
requirement and necessary re-
view Of a program SO directly
tied in with use of the basin
and its natural resources.

Kent-Sussex
To Get Extra
Day For Deer

Kent and Sussex Counties will
get an extra day for deer hunt
ing season this fall.
The Game and Fish Com
mission announced yesterday
that because the deer herd is
extensive In each of the lower
TWO counties In the state they
will have a deer season start
ing one day In advance of the
three day statewide season.
The season will open Nov. E
In Kent and Sussex Counties
and then continue statewide for
the next three days.
Norman G. Wilder, Execu-
tive Director of the Game and
Fish Commission, said the ex-
ira day In the lower counties
is being added $50 we can con-
troll the herd to the point of
reducing 1t. We want a healthy
herd, but one that is stabilized
In growth and not too big for
the cover In which 1t must live. /"
He said that Pennsylvania let
its deer herds get out of con-
troll and has spent the last 20
years trying to reduce their
size.
Wilder said the commission
is certain there will be no
danger of too great harvest
with the four-day seasons In
the low coundes.
He said the reason the extra
day is not added TO the end
of the season is that that method
was tried a few years ago.
"It didn't work." he obser-
we'd, "We had only IL deer
killed on the final day. Appar-
emily people had just had enough.
We feel that If the extra day
is the one to open the season
there will be enough momentum
to carry on through"

State Fair
Attendance
Record Set
At 100000

A new attendance record of
l02, 200 was set at "the best
fair ever" Delaware State F air
officials said In summing up the
nine-day show which closed Sat
urday.
]. Gordon Smith, fair pre-
sident, said the weeks atten-
dance total made It ''the best
state fair we have ever had. "
Fair officials had set an atten-
dance goal of 100, 200.
The new mark follows the
record $4,000 paid admissions
clocked last year. Smith said
the fair association now will
aim at 10000 fairgoers next
year.
Smith said Saturdays paid
admissions hit FL, 90, one of the
best single days on record.
Asked why the fair was so
successful, Smith said: "Ithink
most of it's because we changed
to a state fair. We were the
Kent-Sussex Fair flor AZ years
until last year) and then we
changed. "
"The weather was awful hot, "
he said but added that this did
not hurt attendance.
Besides the change to a state
fair, Smith said other factors
such as the Every successful "
Cetlin-Wilson midway show
helped make 1t success.
He praised the carnival and
said 1t is getting another two
acres Of ground next year for
its midway.
The cattle show was the larg-
est yet and 1t was the best
year for exhibitors, agriculture
and agricultural machinery,
Smith noted.
On Wednesday the grandstand
was full for the horse races
making 1t the best Wednesday
of the fair.

Bay
To Open
Early "a

The Chesapeake Bay bridge
tunnel, the East Coasts an
swer to California's Golden
Gate, is less than a year away
from completion.
Scheduled to be opened for
traffic early in 1864, the bridge
tunnel is rising like a sea
giant from the waters between
the Delmarva Eastern Shore and
Virginia.
A l7.6-mile long complex of
bridges, man-made islands,
tunnels and trestles, the struc-
ture until recently looked like
a giant jigsaw puzzle with many
of the connecting pieces miss
ing.
Passengers aboard the Little
Greek ferries blinked their
eyes in disbelief at the sight
Of an isolated bridge standing
in solitary splendor in the mid
die of the bay, or gazed In
wonder at a road that suddenly
became a dead end five miles
from shore.
Now, though, with construc-
don two-thirds completed, the
Chesapeake Bay bridge-tunnel
is assuming the contour of a
modern highway designed to
conquer the elements.
Contractors report that, as
of mid-May, 2,076 piles out of
the 1850 that will be used in
the 1872 miles of trestles had
been driven into the ocean floor.
The roadbed on 8 IA miles
of trestles, more than TWO
thirds of the total, had been
laid.
All of the four man-made is
lands which will anchor the
tunnels had been raised to their
permanent height and 81 rln-
mel sections out of the total
of 81 that will make up the two
tunnels had been sunk. Nearly
two miles of tunnel had been
tiled.
Built at a cost of $l40, 900, :
600, the Chesapeake Bay
bridge tunnel promises to be-
come both tourist attraction
and a positive economic factor
In the industrial and CONNER
cial development of the area.
