WANTS HIGHWAY
ROUTECHANGED
]. R. Clements Urges That
Eastern Way Around
Smyrna be Abandoned
WOULD BUILD
IT WEST OF TOWN

Special to The Evening Journal
DOVER April 26-The following
letter has been sent TO the State
Highway Department by James r.
Clements Of Clayton. former State
senator and candidate for Congress
last year on the Democratic
ticket relative to the western route
at Smyrna for the DUPONT Boule-
ward:
state Highway Commissioners;
"Gentlement:-Th advocates OF
the western route around Smyrna
for the dupont Road, have kept
quiet for a long time, because they
thought there was no use to say
anything after a selection had been
made. but now since it appears so
difficult to find a good road bed
east and since the route laid out
must have three or four distince
curves, while it is supposed to be
straight, and since the bids show
it to be very expensive section,
and since the throwing up of the
last contract intimates It is a very
dangerous or uncertain proposition.
we feel il would not be out Of order
to address you.
"Do you not think It worth while
70 take a look at the western route
suggested some time ago as follows:
South from Armstrong Corner down
the present State Road to Duck
Creek, straight on to east Of Smyrna
stand pipe, thence an easy curve TO
the present road or dam across
Lake Como, thence on to Wright's
garage.
THE road across the Lake could
be widened on the north, to permit
an easier curve.
This route is all over fast land
and an ideal road bed. Not a farm
to cross and only two houses need
be disturbed, they both being on
the south side of Commerce street
close to the Stand Pipe.
Would it not be well to ask the
Town Council to work with you in
order that the best might be accom-
plished and in order that the work
might be started without spending
any more of the taxpayers money
hunting for a bottom where there
appears to be none.
If you will compare the route
above suggested with the one you
adopted. especially since il has been
changed several times In order ia
overcome various obstacles, such as
bad bottoms. Orphans. Courts. farm
buildings, you cannot help but sec
It is much better besides saving Mr.
DUPONT and the taxpayers thousand
Of dollars in cost Of survey, con
struction and upkeep.
Some prominent men have said
The people OF Clayton have no bus
iness meddling with where this roal
should go, it is no affair OF theirs
We feel we are a part Of Kent coun
~ and Of Delaware, and therefore
would like TO see this section o
road built and want to see it place,
on a solid foundation. The question
has been asked many times, VIII,

These views are not even mine

Health is built up only in a term

If the young girls of today would

little cause for criticism along NOR

One Of the main objects in social
hygiene work is TO give the growing
boy and girl a normal constructive
viewpoint on life and its values,
which will enable him or her TO
make wise choice in friendship, con-
duct and dress.
The average young girl likes
pretty clothing. She likes to be
stylish. She likes to present an at
