BUILDING BOOM NOW ON
AT SLAUGHTER BEACH

Slaughter Beach, along the Della
ware Bay, few miles east of Mil
ford, is undergoing a building boom
at the present time. George S. Grier
has recently remodeled his summer
home at that resort. DR.. Willard R.
Pierce is adding more to the rear of
his cottage, and other residents are
making slight improvements. C.. Dom
nan -Holzmueller, whose cottage was
destroyed by fire a few weeks ago is
now building the finest cottage on the
beach. This building will be about
forty feet front with proper depth. It
is surrounded with porches which will
be screened in, and the living room is
provided with large fireplace for
cool evenings. The cottage is shing-
led on the sides and roof, and will be
lathed and plastered throughout. Mr..
Holzmueller hopes to have the build
ing ready for occupancy in a few
weeks. DR.. Samuel NJ. D. Marshall is
also planning to erect a modern cot
tage at Slaughter Beach adjoining the
Thoroughbred cottage, and hopes to
have it completed for use this sum-
mer. Other Milford men are said to
be planning to construct summer
homes there this year.
Milford chronicle., 1921-04-22
MASS MEETING FOR GIRLS

The girls and young women of Mil
ford are to have mass meeting on
Friday evening, April 20, under the
auspices of the High School Girl Re-
serves at the Grange Hall. All girls
and young women are cordially invit-
ed to attend to hear Miss Anna Mans
field Clark, National Secretary for
town and country work of the Young
Women's Christian Association. Be-
cause of her years of experience with
the work of the Y. w. C. A. and her
association with the national country
life movement and above all her un-
derstanding of girls and her devotion
to them and their best interests, Miss
Clark is an entertaining speaker. She
was to have been one of the speakers
at the second annual high school girls
vocational conference of the Y. w. c.
A. to be held in Laurel over the past
week, but postponed to next fall ow-
ing to the long absence of Miss Krall,
the field secretary on account of ill
ness.
Miss Clark, whose headquarters are
in the National building in New York,
comes to Delaware from Texas where
she has been visiting County Associa-
tons.
Further publicity will be given to
The meeting next week.

WON'T SERVE IN new BOARD
R.S. DU POINT AND Geo. B. MILLER DE-
CLINE MEMBERSHIP INVITATION.

>GeOrge B. Miller, President of the
State Board of Education, and Pierre
S. du POnt, have both declined to
serve as members of the new five
member Board of Education, provision
for which is made in the new school
laws as passed by the recent session
of the Legislature. Both of these men
were invited to membership in the
board by Governor Denney, but have
made a final decision to not accept
appointment to the body. Both Mr..
du Pont and Mr.. Miller have made
efficient members of the Board of Ed
ucation now in existence, and it is a
great loss tC he educational interests
of the State of Delaware that they are
unable to become members of the new
body.
Both expressed to the Governor
their regret in not feeling able, under
present conditions and circumstances,
to accept the honor While the Gov
ernor has four men to name on the
board, it was said he had decided not
to name anyone else until friends of
Mr.. du POnt and Mr.. Miller have en-
deavored to get them to reconsider
their decision, as he would like both
to continue as members of the board.
Mr.. Miller stated Monday night that
both he and Mr.. du POnt had written
the Governor definitely declining to
serve on the new board.

OUR HERDS In FINE HEALTH
MORE ARE FREE FROM TUBERCULOSIS
THAN in MANY OTHER SECTIONS.

Reports just received by the State
Board of Health show that Delaware
is making more progress in making
its dairy herds free from tuberculosis
than most other states. NOthwith-
standing the small size of this state,
it had on February /, more herds that
were certified by the State and FEEDER
al authorities as free from tuberculo-
sis than New Jersey, Washington,
South Dakota, Louisiana, Arkansas,
Connecticut, Texas, Massachusetts
and other states. Regardless of size,
only twenty-seven other states had
more herds that were free from this
disease.
On February 1, there were in the
State 80 credited herds" which had
passed two successive tests, and 290
other herds had bee infested once and
found to be free from tuberculosis.
Only 20 other states have as many
herds awaiting certification.
The indications are that within a
year Delaware will have more "cred-
tied herds" in proportion to it's size
than any other sta5e in the Union,
which from the standpoint of increase
value of the herds and protection of
well COWS from infection, as we'll as
the protection of children against the
danger OF tuberculosis from the use
Of infected milk, is one of inestimable
value.
Miss Blanche Lockwood, of Middle
-own, was appointed by the Board as |
midwife supervising nurse for the
State.

MILFORD GRANGE

Those who did not attend the meet
ing last Saturday missed a very en-
joyable time. Besides the large at
tendance of home grangers, about 35
visiting members were present, repre-
senting four neighboring oranges,
namely Henlopen, Midland, Washing
ton and Bayshore. The third and
fourth degrees were given in full
form, the drills and tableaux adding
much to the interest and beauty of the
ceremonies. After the session abun-
dant refreshments of sandwiches,
cake and coffee were served. Regular
meeting next Saturday evening at

Pomona meeting will be given, follow

n "
NTOday, Friday, April 22nd, WRITE
1T BIG, is indeed an important one
in the history of the progressive town
of Milford, Delaware. Commencing
at II o'clock this morning, at which
time a luncheon will be served at the
new Milford Emergency Hospital, and
continuing the entire afternoon, exer-
cises fitting to the official dedication
of the new institution will be in prog
ress. Milford, thanks to the generos-
ity of her citizens, and of numbers
of residents of other communities in
both Kent and Sussex counties, has
practically completed the drive start
ed two weeks ago to raise $4,000 for
maintenance of the hospital for the
ensuing two years. While this amount
was placed as a minimum sum requir-
ed for operating purposes of the mod
ern hospital, it has been ascertained
definitely that a sum approximating
$22,500 will be required to purchase
the necessary bedding and surplus sup
plies. With this amount in hand the
institution can start business debt
free, and with a brilliant future be-
fore it. This total will be the aim of
