men TO INDORSE
GOOD ROAD PLAN

The publicity department Of II
.lanher Of Commerce has received II
following letter:
Mr.. Johu 5. Hamilton.
Publicity Manager
Chamber OF Commerce.
Dear Sir: Why do you not urge
the Chamber OF Commerce to pay
more attention to good roads, New
Castle county has spent deal of
money on roads and understand
there is program for spending
more. Enlightened people are be-
ginning TO realize that the CITY is
even more interested than the conn.
try, if that is possible, in the GOOD
road problem.
Let us look Tor a moment at what
good roads mean and would moan
Tor Wilmington The DUPONT 10.
tel and the Playhouse have laid tbe
foundation for making Wilmington
an attractive city. The projected
public buildings and the suggested
library viii add commendabiv TO
these attractions and the completion
OF these improvements will unques-
tionably suggest other betterments.
These improvements will not only
have a tendency TO make Whining
ton people stay at home. but in the
nature Of things. they should at
tract visitors. These visitors will
contribute TO the prosperity Of our
theatres, our hotels and our stores
and the visitors will 20 away and
advertise Wilmington by saving
nice things about IL.
Then there is the question Of mar
kets Good roads will help your
markets. Remember that the far
-mer who comes to your market is
feeding you, even if you don't buy
his produce direct from his wagon
Bad roads have more to do with
the high cost Of living than many
OF those who are complaining about
1t even imagine.
] would suggest that your Cham.
Der of Commerce take I'D this good
roads question. Let the matter he
stloied thoroughly and completely
and insist upon it that Wilmington's
interest be 4 vital consideration
in every road program. Also let the
Chamber OF Commerce insist that
the county authorities maintain the
roads after they are built. A man
who would put a tin roof on his
house and then neglect 70 paint the
roof is no more foolish nor is he
wiser than the community that
builds roads and then allows them
20 practically care for themselves.
Respectfully yours.

still longer.
Then all Of the little girls took of
their shoes and stockings and padded
in the water. Dorothy screamed when
she first dipped her toes in, but the
mud was soft and felt smooth to her
feet. and soon she was ankle deep and
hoping the day would never end.
But IL did end suddenly. for her name
was called from the other side of the
fence and Dorothy knew 1t was her
mother.
Yes, mother" answered Dorothy. the
joy dying out Of her little face.
You come right home said her
mother. How in the world did you
ever get over this fence? We have
hunted everywhere for YOU
Mary Ja-,'' began Dorothy. and
then she stopped. for she suddenly real
ized that Mary Jane would be blamed
I'll come right home, mother, just
as soon is change my dress"
The little sisters helped her into her
dress. and Margaret said: I'VE better
take her round by the road"
1--WE cap get ladder and she can
climb UP the fence, and they can put
one up on the other side said Mary
Jane; that won't hurt her Dress
The ladder was brought and Dorothy
climbed II. followed by Mary Jane.
How will you get down on this side?'
asked her mother. How in the world.
Dorothy West, did you ever get on the
other side of this high fence?'
II helped her over the iron fence at
the end Of your garden" explained Mary
Jane, looking over Dorothy's shoulder.
But made her take Off her dress first
and it is not hurt bit. Please don't
scold her. / invited her or she would
not have come
Yes, would" said Dorothy. IL was
trying to look through the fence before
you looked over and l wanted to come
over before YOU asked me-"
Dorothy's grandfather came through
the garden followed by a man carrying
ladder and Dorothy was soon on the
other side of the fence beside her
mother.
Margaret, Barbara and Susan were
all on their ladder by this time looking
over. but when they saw Dorothy's
grandfather they all disappeared. All
but Mary Jane. She stayed to say good
by to Dorothy.
You need not blame Dorothy, Mr..
West" she said to Dorothy's grand
father 81 am to blame and you need
not be afraiG that I will come over
there, because We would not come on
