Lester Billings, 18-year old war ~ork­ er from Wilkesboro, N. C., a Triumph Explosives, Inc., employee was killed at the Elkton plant shortly before noon Tuesday when an explosion hurled him outside of a one-story frame building where he was working into a field.

Dr. C. R. Dodson, Cecil County Medi-cal Examiner conducted an inquiry and took charge of the body which was shipped to Wilkesboro for bUl'ial. The explosion was felt within a mile radiu of Elkton.

An announcement of the Delaware State Coal Club, published elsewhere in this issue on behalf of the equipped coal dealers of the State, conveys im-portant information summarizing the new ration Order 19 recently issued by the Office of Price Administration as it applies to users of anthracite coal. Objectives of the ration order are to equalize distribution of coal stocks, to prevent some consumers from ac-cumulating inventories early in the season which would exceed their ra-tion allotment if any further rationing program becomes necessary, to imple-ment administration ot Solid Fuels Ad-ministration for War Order No.2 which restricts sales and deliveries of an-thracite to dealers.

When placing an order, the consumer must tell the dealer the amount of an-thracite he used during the base year (April 1, 1942 to March 31, 1943), the amount on hand and the amount the consumer wishes to acquire. If tbis in-formation is furnished orally, it must be confirmed in writing not later than seven days after placing the order.

C. E. McCauley, county 4-H club agent supervisor for the Delaware Agri-cultural Extension Service, has an-nounced that individual club groups throughout the State are planning their own 4-H Victory Achievement fairs for this year. Wartime conditions made it necessary last year to discontinue regular county 4·H achievement fairs for !.be duration, so several clubs held their own in 1942. This year many more have adopted the idea.

This year's Victory Achievement fairs will feature exhibits of club pro-jects. Prizes will be awarded winners, as was the practice in the county shows. Programs scheduled for public attendance will include demonstrations on various phases of club work.

Several clubs are cooperating with others in their vicinities to present combined shows. Drought conditions in Kent and Sussex Counties have made it impossible for some of the clubs to hold shows planned earlier in the year.

4-H Victory Achievement fail'S sched-uled already inc.lude the White Oak Club on September 11, at the Lamborn Library in Hockessin; Friendship, Blackbird, and Stump's Corner clubs at Taylor's Bridge School on Septem -ber 24; Newark and Forest Oak clubs in Newark, September 25; Smyrna club at the Smyrna Church on October I; Lewes, Hollymount, Cedar Grove, and Overbrook clubs at the Coolspring Community House on September 25.

If the parade and open-air Bond Ral-ly was allY indication of the success of Newark's Thil'd War Bond Drive, the committee in charge of the Drive should not have any trouble in putting the Drive over-the-top.

The parade. which was h Id last night. was one of the most successful and colol'ful held in Newm'k for several years and also erved to give the resi -dents of the town some small idea of the local Civilian Defense groups. While the entire personnel of the local Civilian Defense groups did not turn out in the parade it wa a very repre-sentative gro~l]) alld served to give the drive, which opens today, a big send-off.

The parade last night was headed by the trainees stationed at the Uni-versity of Delaware with their colors and color guard and members of the military department at the university. Colonel Donald M. Ashbridge, head of the military department acted as chief marshall fOl' the parade.

Next in line was the Newark High School band which had becn very hurriedly gotten together through the efforts of Professor Frederick B. Kutz, director of music at the school. Mem-bers of the Continental-Diamond Fibre Company band were mixed with our children musicians and were a great

Absentee members of the Newark Lions Club missed a thoroughly inter-esting meeting held at the Country Club Tuesday evening when President E. A. Curtis conducted an informal discus-sion of internal affairs of the club.

Continued lack of attendance was scored and members proposed their ideas of solution. As a result next week's meeting will begin promptly at 6:15 and each member will serve himself in an effort to combat the cater-er's help situation.

Committee chairmen reported pro-gress of their committees and Herman Handloff reported War Bond and Stamp sales 'as follows: bonds, $350.00; stamps, $29.75; total of bonds, $18,725, stamps, $446.20. The campaign to sell $25,000 by Labor Day was extended to include the Third War Loan Drive ending on September 27.

A. W. Perry, general chairman of the Third War Loan Drive reported that John R. Fader and Dr. John R. Downes would sell "jeep rides' on Delaware Avenue Wednesday evening following the parade and rally officially opening the campaign.

Paul D. Lovett served as secretary of the meeting in the absence of Secre-tary C. W. Mumford, who is on vaca-tion this week. All members are urged to be present, and on time, at next week's meeting for which an intere st-ing program has been arranged.
