Practical Gift
Citizen Shows Civic Interest
"Silent Policeman" Placed by Town
Authorities at Dangerou.
Point

A good looking traffic cop" was
placed by the town authorities
yesterday afternoon at THE june
tion of Main Streec and Elkton
Road. Standing firm on a con-
crete base this silent policeman
not only directs traffic at this
dangerous junction, but also
points out the way to bewildered
travellers, and forms a pleasing
ornamental addition to the town
improvements.
This attractive device was pre-
sented to the town through the
generosity of Mr.. Frank Collins.
Of sturdy metal bar construc-
tion, it is surmounted Iby a power
full light illuminating the plate
which points out with aluminium
painted directions the roads to
Baltimore and Wilmington.
The simplicity and dignity of
design as well as the altruistic
motive which prompted the gift
has elected much grateful COM
ment from townsfolk and travel
ers who have passed that way.
