WASHINGTON ASKS

Purchasers OF War Savings Stamps
who have pledges unfulflled are urged
to buy TO the limit before the close OF
the year.
The government needs tho money and
has arranged for expenditures based on
the amount expected from the fulfill
mont OF these pledges.
The Secretary OF the Treasury yester-
day forwarded to Henry p Scott, the
State Director OF the War Savings cam-
paign In Delaware, most urgent telo-
gram In which he said
"The governments monetary re-
qulrements were never created nor
more pressing than they are today.
Expenditures for November were
greater than In any similar period.
These expenditures growing out or
the war must be met by borrowing
from the people and their magnin-
cent response heretofore TO the gov
ernments requirements makes me
confident that they Will not fail to
continue their support 10 the end
that all payments resulting from
war necessities Will be promptly
met
"Much remains 10 be done. Our
brave troops must be maintained
and paid until their work is fully
accomplished and they are returned
to their homes. This is not a time
for us TO relax our efforts and the
treasury department Is making plans
for larger and even more important
work during the coming year.
"please make every effort to bring
this statement before the people In

Saving certificates. the fulnllment Of
their pledges and additional pur-
chases as their means permit"
II Delaware purchasers live up 10
their promises this State Will have pur-
chased SIS per csuta which will put
her well to the front again in patriotic
war work. Mr.. Scott not only makes q
plea for the fulfllment Of pledges al
ready made hut he urges that additional
purchases be made during the holiday
season. The campaign started a year
AGO when the value OF these stamps as
Christmas gifts was emphasized Tho
present holiday season Is regarded by
the State Director as offering fine op-
portunity for closing the campaign with
great display OF patriotism and holl-
day spirit.

Birds Landing was at one time a
place Of some Importance, but that was
long ago. As we approached Summit
Brldge we did indeed have TO cast our
eyes on things above, 10 see the bridge
so far were we below. This is the most
beautiful part Of the canal, the steep
sides, lined with the great trees, and
hanging bushes, rejecting their foliage
in the placid water, is a picture long
to remember. Not far beyond Summit
Bridge we see the handsome railroad
bridge Of the Delaware railroad, that
spans the canal. The station is called
Canal. Here the fishing is very fine
and many are the fishermen from Phil
adelphia and Wilmington, who come
here for a days fishing.
The canal reservoir is situated near
st. Georges, and during dry seasons the
water is run into the waterway to keep
It to the proper depth, nine feet. Near
here we drew up TO a mud machine,
the property Of the canal company. The
superintendent stopped to leave fresh
meat, and get reports. This was the

BENJAMIN Wright was an engineer
who supervised much OF the canal
work. and under him IL was completed
October II, 1929, being thirteen and
flve-eighth miles long. and costing 81
250OOO. Some parts were built under
great diflculty. Sections Of the bank
would sink as much as a hundred
feet, caused by quicksand. Then the
bottom raised up some places 40 feet
in height. Long delays were the re-
suit OF such aggravating circumstances.
Other troubles befell the engineers, one
Of which was the sliding back into the
canal Of $4,000 cubic yards OF earth
which had been placed too near the
channel when It was taken from the
"cut" at Summit Bridge.
Long years after the time Of Randel
and Wright the canal company had to
wrestle with the problem Of keeping
back these sliding piles Of earth. In

extremely deep, seventy-six and a half
