Glasscocks to mark
50th anniversary
Fifty years ago, on June 7,
1945, Lt. G.B. '"lad" Glasscock,
U.S.N., and Cpl. Therese Emily
Penkoske, U.S.M.C., were mar-
fled in Trenton, N.J.
The couple had a short honey-
moon at Skytop resort in the
Poconos mountains before return-
ing to active duty. Miss Penkoske
was a lady Marine stationed at the
Philadelphia Naval Yard and Lt.
Glasscock was a Navy flight in-
structor at Beaufort, S.C. The two
had met while Miss Penkoske was
stationed at Parris Island, outside
Beaufort. Lt. Glasscock had been
assigned to Beaufort Naval Air
Station after a tour of duty as a
flying boat pilot in the South Pa-
cific, for which he was awarded
the Distinguished Flying Cross.
After VJ Day and separation
from the service, the Glasscocks
took an extended honeymoon,
touring the country by automo-
bile. The Glasscocks have lived
in Lewes since 1968. Mr. Glass-
cock was the first general manag-
er of Barcroft Company and is a
past president of the Delaware So-
ciety of Professional Engineers.
Community traffic safety
program unveiled in Sussex
By Kristen Seal
Created to reduce countywide
drinking and driving incidents, in-
crease safety belt usage and re-
duce high risk driving, the Com-
munity Traffic Safety Program
(CTSP) is now in effect in Sussex
County.
Diaz Bonville is the newly ap-
pointed coordinator of the safety
program and organized a presen-
tation of the objectives of Sus-
sex's newest program to promote
roadway safety.
Ron Jester, University of
Delaware Extension Safety Spe-
cialist; Karen L. Johnson, secre-
tary of the Department of Public
Safety; Kathy English, occupant
protection coordinator from the
Office of Highway Safety and
Bonville gathered in honor of
"Buckle Up America!" Week to
introduce the Community Traffic
Safety Program and to "tie one on
for safety" distributing red, white
and blue ribbons to be placed on
Sussex's vehicles promoting safe
driving.
CTSP is funded federally
through the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration
through the Delaware Office of
Highway Safety in collaboration
with the University of Delaware
Cooperative Extension Service.
The program is designed to bring
together representatives from lo-
cal government, educational insti-
tutions, community organizations,
law enforcement agencies, high-
way safety specialists, private in-
dustry, elected officials and Del-
DOT to develop educational pro-
grams.
Bonville outlined six main
goals of the CTSP:
• to plan and implement a com-
prehensive program for Sussex
County citizens
• to decrease the incidents of
drunk driving and alcohol viola-
tions in Sussex County by three to
four percent in the next three to
five years
• to increase safety belt usage by
five to ten percent in the next three
to five years
• to conduct the scientific needs
assessment study
• to collect and maintain statis-
tics on accident areas
• to organize an advisory task
force involving community mem-
bers from various organizations
"Those of us who have the re-
sources need to do all that we can
to make our roads safer places to
travel," adds Bonville.
"We are extremely delighted to
have Diaz Bonville as our first
CTSP coordinator. In the short
time that he has been with us, he
has become totally absorbed in
traffic safety and strongly believes
in community involvement in get-
ting this program started," says
Jester.
