FIRE At DR.. FRANK GRIEES HOME

About four o'clock on Tuesday
morning. January 1st, the floor in
front of a fire place in the reception
room of the home Of DR.. Frank L.
Grier, on Lake View Avenue. South
Milford. was found burning by the
house maid, who smelled smoke and
made an investigation. The Milford
Fire Company responded to the alarm
and extinguished the fire with the
chemical engine, without turning on
the hose from the water mains. When
the house was built the contractor
had the joice extend up to and across
the immediate front of the fire place,
and when the masons did their work
they simply covered the wooden joice
over with cement and then laid. the
tiling on top of that. The result was
fire when a fire or any proportions
was made in the fireplace. 1t has
since been torn ous ana built prop
erly.

MILFORD FARMERS ATTENTION

At two D. m. Tuesday, January othi
all the farmers and their wives within
five or six miles of Milford are urged
to be present at the Farm Bureau
meeting to be held in the Grange Hall
at Milford. A number of speakers,
including Miss Dole, H. H. thinner
ley. and probably NJ. o. Pence, all
of whom are interested in Kent coun-
ty agriculture and food conservation,
will be present.
Rapid progress is being made in all
sections of the county in the Farm
Bureau organization work. Dover,
Kenton. Leipsic, Smyrna, Blackiston.
Downs Chapel. Wiley School, Peters
burg, FELTON,, Magnolia, Wyoming and
several other communities have al
ready organized and a large number
of members have already been Sc
cured. Practically all the leading
farmers and farm women of the cOun-
ty are heartily in favor of this move
ment, and the interest shown in every
community has been very encourag-
ing.
The time has come when the farm
ers must organize in order to meet
the many problems confronting them.
The objects of the Farm Bureau will
be fully explained at the meeting and
those in charge will be pleased to
answer all questions.
No farmer in Kent County can af-
ford to remain outside the organiza-
ton. If you do not believe an organ
ization will help you, just come out
to the meeting and at least hear how
becoming a member will help you as
farmer.
On Friday, January 18th, a perman-
ent organization meeting will be held
at the Century Club, Dover, and
members from all parts Of the county
will meet together to elect permanent
officers and decide upon a plan OF
procedure for the coming year g.
Governor Townsend and other prom
inent speakers will be present to ad-
dress the meeting. The morning
session will begin at 10 a. m, and
the afternoon session at 1880 p. m.
1t is hoped to make Milford one OF
the most progressive communities in
the organization. Twenty members
of the Home Economics Club of Mil
ford have already joined. Let there
be- good attendance at the meeting
next Tuesday. so the local organiza-
ton can go to Dover with big mem
bership. J. H. Skewis, Chairman.

WORK ON ROADS AWAITS End OF War

Since the organization of the State
Highway Department, June l, tenn
porary headquarters have been es-
tablished in the State Capitol. Four
survey parties have been kept in the
field since September /, and up to
this time more than 10 miles of
road have been surveyed. Plans of
more than 60 miles of road have been
completed and a traffic census cover
ing the fall period has been taken.
Several maps of Delaware have been
made up and practically all the in
formation is now available for the
report of the tentative program for
1918. Under normal conditions it
would be expected that large mile
age of road could be constructed; but
under present conditions the State
Highway Department has taken the
stand that the only work to be done
is road work that can be considered
as a war measure. However, the
plans for the large Delaware program
have been made up, and as soon as
the war is over and normal condi-
tions are resumed, the State Highway
Department will be ready to carry out
a large constructive program.

FREDERICK RED CROSS ACTIVE

The following is the report of the
Frederick Sunshine Branch since the
first of June, 1917:

On New Years eve Miss Lillian
Stevens gave a party in honor of her
cousin. Henry C. Harrington, chief
electrician of the U. S. S. Wiscon-
sin. Dancing, music and games were
indulged in until midnight, when the
old wear was hidden adieu and the
new wear welcomed with feasting and
merry-making A delightful evening
was spent by the young tolks.
This cold spell has found num-
ber of the residents Of Frederick with
out fuel. Wood is being eagerly
sought after to take the place OF coal
A number of persons have been IN
the woods cutting their own wood.
For quite a number of years per-
sons in the vicinity of Ffederica have
shipped their holly and wreaths via
Steamer Frederica and have had no
trouble in disposing OF them. Owing
to the ice in the river the boat was
obliged to miss a trip and shipments
were made by express on the rail-
road. Complaints are being made
that in many instances no returns
have been received as yet and in a
number of cases the commission
houses did not receive the wreaths
and were unable to locate them. This
is indeed unfortunate and quite a loss
to those who spent much time in
gathering the holly during the cold
weather.

EXPRESSIONS OF APPRECIATION

The following letter came as part
of our New Year mail, and it is ap-
preciated especially because of its
thoughtfulness in expressing appreci-
alton of the cOurtesies which the Mil
ford Chronicle always extends. to the
churches during the year; at least to
those churches and pastors who care
to accept them. The letter follows:
"At the beginning of the year l take
occasion to thank the Editor and staff
of the Milford Chronicle for the kind
courtesy shown me during the year
just closing. and to express the ap-
probation of the Catholics of St.
Johns 'Church for publishing the
weekly notices in the Town of Mil
ford's invaluable paper. Wishing the
Chronicle and those associated with
it a bright and prosperous New Year,
| am gratefully yours, Rev. Father
Fitzpatrick.
This little reminder from friends is
worth all the effort to be helpful
which we have put forth in the past,
and it shows a consideration of the
proper spirit of friendship and appre-
citation, which any act is worthy to
have expressed, when it has been
given in the spirit of kindness. We
want to help all the churches and
church causes wherever located, but
at the same time we are limited in our
capacity to go to extreme lengths,
but such as we have, it is cheerfully
and willingly given. Local newspa-
per publicity is not a "matter-Of-
course" and we are always glad to
do our bit when we can without in
Jury to ourselves or others.-EditOr.
