to industrial growth" is the slogan
Of the proposed new organization .
OF citizens now being advocated by
officials and residents Of the town. /
II was said today that for years |
in fact since the founding Of Della /
ware City the slogan has been
Home Town" While many per-
sons still cling to the idea that the
beauty Of this city should not be
marrcd by industrial activities. the
advocates of the new slogan say this
cry has become weaker and the later
more pronounced with the past year.
For years residents of the city have
depended mostly on the fishing in
dustry and employment by the gov
ernment on reservation work and
by the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal Company. Now that control
Of the canal has passed 10 the gov
ernment. and much civilian employ
ment dispensed with by the govern
ment the necessity OF establishing
of some form Of industry as best
necessary to provide the large num-
Der Of the those who want TO labor.
The organization of Civic Club
is considered by many as the most
important thing at this time. This
organization will look up firms de-
string new fields for the sanitation
Of the town will also be considered.
