The money is to be used for the purchase of a new truck, two new motors, and repairs to our old trucks. The ordinance now goes to Mayor Albert W. James for his signature. Since the budget ordinance was passed in May, City Council has granted the board an additional $5,150, including $1,500 to be used in a survey of health conditions by the American Public Health Association. The ordinance was pre sented last night by Frank J.

Cor sano, Fifth Ward, chairman of the nnance committee. Council- rescinded a resolution adopted several weeks ago at the request of Judge Elwood F. Melson of the Juvenile Court, granting Chief Probation Officer J. Paul Green an annual salary of $3,600. starting last July 1 The request first made to Council did not take into consideration the fact that half of Mr.

Green's salary is paid by the Levy Court. When the Levy Court adopted a resolution paying Mr. Green $1,800 a year his total salary then reached $5,400 a year. Last night's action by Council places the city's share of the correct $3,600 salary at $1,800. The report of City Treasurer Alex R.

OLD FIDDLERS' PICNIC SATURDAY, AUGUST 5th LENAPE SWIMMING POOL CHRISTIAN C. SANDERSON Pocopson Valley Boys SUNDAY EVENINC, AUG. 6 cooooooooooooooc DAILY Passenger mere coincidence mat prompted opera selection committee of the Brandywiners to pick this musical drama of undersrround Parisians rising against a common enemy tne most seriously produced. By that I mean there is no evidence of just playing around with rease paint. Throughout the evening, you could see striking evidence of sincerity in planning and direction.

Union Against An Enemy Or you can take "The Vagabond King" as I took it: A revival of a light opera with a romantic story with a modern day lesson of what can be accomplished among classes when all are faced by a ruthless, domineering enemy. In this instance, the enemy was the Duke of Burgundy. Today, across the sea, the underground of France is also rising to defeat another ruthless domineering enemy. And with this preface accomplished attention is directed to the players, singers, etc. The Brandywiners are fortunate in having chosen a cast of leads who can sing and carry along their roles with some conviction.

I might quarrel if I had a mind to with John H. Cooper who played Francois Villon. Mr. Cooper handles his songs with unusual quality and forcefulness, tenderness and senti ment when the occasion warrants but if he were only a bit more swashbuckling, measuring up more to the popular conception the poet-rogue, I'd give him a 100 per cent rating. However, this deficit is easily forgiven when you see Mr.

Cooper whip up his Parisian comrades into a patriotic fervor with the rendition of that inimitable anti-Burgundian marching-fighting song. And there one should give wholehearted applause to the supporting chorus. I don't think, any Brandywiners chorus has ever been in such good shape or so well disciplined. The rafters of the Drama League theatre must have shivered as the chorus blared out that song defiance. Women Praised Outstanding among the women were Elizabeth N.

Veasey as Hugu-ette and M. Christine Doerflinger as the Lady Katherine. Mrs. Veasey was assigned a choice role and with her ability not only as a singer but also as an actress she fulfilled the specifications. Her solo, "Love For Sale," and her death scene are moments thati will long remain in mind as high points of the show.

Miss Doerflinger made a beauteous, graceful and delightful Lady Kath- erine. Her first solo, as she appears in a vision (a scene which was very cleverly handled), sold her to the audience. From then on, she was a favorite, particularly in the tavern scene as she sings "Only a Rose" one of the most delectable songs of the opera. Members of the supporting east might wen be called "leads" in then-own rights. There was George May, for example, who appears as King Louis.

Mr. May's talent as an actor served him well. Then there was Charles Jackson as a fifth columnist member of the king's court another outstanding actor who added verve and color IN PERSON Star of Ben Bernie's Orchestra Tricky! Terrific!

Rev. S. Harrington Littell, a native of Wilmington and formerly bishop of Honolulu, in a recent sermon preached in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City. Taking Hawaii's many-race population as an example, Bishop Littell declared peaceful racial relationships can be maintained.

He said "the kind of treatment given to Americans of Japanese ancestry on the mainland, would be impossible in Hawaii, where the Japanese-Americans are intelligent citizens rendering invaluable participation in the war." i Three Permits Issued Permits were issued yesterday by Building Inspector N.
