The State Highway Commission met
at Dover, Saturday, when Chief En-
gineer Upham reported H. R. Bishop.
District Engineer of Public Roads, had
inspected that part of the PHILADELPHIA
Pike constructed and being construct
ed, and had pronounced it as a most
satisfactory piece of construction and
further stated that the work of road
building in Delaware was of as high
standard as any State over which
ne has jurisdiction. 1t was also re-
ported the State will receive the
$4,000 Federal aid for road construc-
ton. The question of alignment, bv
the Highway Department, of all State
roads also caused considerable discus
sion. 1t was decided that all roads
should be made as straight as possible
and that no curve should be more than
three per cent. This will naturally
give a higher standard of alignment
IN all road construction. AS to the
work in the State, Chief Engineer Up
ham reported the Hoffecker-Garrison

ChesWold and Smyrna completed and

Thanksgiving Day comes to us with
unusual force and appeal this year be-
cause OF the prospects of a return to
normal living under peace and quiet
ness: But in our jubilation over the
great thing that has happened we are
liable to forget the thing that Thanks
giving Day is supposed to mean every
year. While the War with its sIauob-
ter and blOOdshed has been devastat-
ing the fertile fields of France and
Belgium and Russia and other Euro-
pean countries, God in His goodness
has wonderfully blessed us in givinp
US bountiful harvests. All during the
long four years we have been enabled
to feed a large part of the world ont
side without in the least SUFFERING our-
selves. So that we must not forget to
return thanks to God for His CON
tinued blessings in the rain and sun
shine which have supplied us with the
sustenance of life. In accordance
-- wi NoNol CuoLOuI we are n19k1nQr
an offering both of money and nro-
visions for the Day Nursery and Babv
Hospital, and we need to make if
larger and more generous than ever
PROVISIONS may be sent to the Church

notification. There will be the usual
services in the Church at $50 O'clock
