IolAlE WAR MEMORIAL DRIVE WENT OVER THE
TOP MONDAY NIGHT IN GLORIOUS
FINISH
More Contributions Still Pouring In
$35O,O0O May Be Final Total

This grand little State of Delaware
again came through in crisis and
showed the way to other common
wealths in the matter of war me-
MORALS when she gave of her wealth.
her time and her thoughts to the pro-
position to "build on the campus of
the State University living Memor,
ial to the sons of Delaware who gave
their lives in the great World War"
Last Monday night at big dinner
in the duBarry Room of the Hotel
dupont in Wilmington, the workers
from all three counties in the State
together with the Wilmington teams
and chairmen met in the last drive
to reach the mark. At the beginning
of the day they still had approximate
ly $4,000 to raise. About ten o'clock
the same evening the sum of $685.
387 had been pledged and more kept
coming at intervals. 1t was mainly
due to the added gifts of Whining
tons wealthiest and most broad
minded men who were already heavy
subscribers that the total for the New
Library was raised.
Now the Library is an assured
thing and it is with a great sigh of
relief and thanksgiving that the hard
working chairmen disbanded their
faithful associates and one and all
returned to their offices, farms and
homes with the knowledge that they
helped in putting over one of the
finest campaigns in the history of the
State. Although wealthy men helped
in large measure towards the sue
cess of the project it is the men and
women of the State at large who are
receiving the most earnest thanks.
They gave of their time and money,
some in large amounts, others in

small portions, but it was their in
terest in the Drive, their cooperation
IN the work and their money that
made this Library a real possession
OF the State and it's people. The men
who gave their lives came from Sus-
sex farms and villages as we'll as
crowded Wilmington. So should and
did the support come. It is a true
Delaware spirit that could make this
thing reality, and it was the true
Delawarean who came through and
pushed along with his neighbor until
the Memorial Library became GER
tainty.
Workers Thanked
Josiah Marvel, chairman of the
executive committee in the campaign,
expressed his thanks to the workers
and to the Alumni of the University
and to the Trustees of the University
and then called upon Everett C.
johnson. He responded in an eloquent
speech in which he referred to what
Delaware had done in the past and
the magnificent response it had made
to this call. He showed that Della
ware does not forget its sons who
made sacrifices that the world might
live at peace again.
DR.. Walter Hullihen, president of
the University of Delaware, speaking
both personally and for the Univer-
sity, gave his thanks for the way in
which the people had responded. He
said he wished he might mention by
name those who had been so active in
the drive. He referred to Mr.. John
son, Mr.. Marvel, Mr.. Sharp, Mr..
Scott and then to the princely gifts
made by few from the "broadest
minded and most liberal citizens in
the United States"

length. Red fire, presented gratis bv
the Victory Sparkler Co., threw a
lurld light upon the scene all along
the route and greatly added to the
spirit of the occasion.
10 enumerate the beautiful and
novel effects originated by the COM
petltors would be an almost impos-
slble task. Every costume, float.
horse and automobile showed clearly
the fruits of true original ability and
hard work on the part of the parader
IN charge. The floats and decorated
automobiles were particularly affec-
tive, and when this section passed the
judges stand and the big crowd near
by, there seemed to be a continuous
storm of applause. One young lady
who, by the way, captured a prize,
rode well-bred gray horse and ham
died 1t like a veteran. The animals
favorite stunt was to rear up on it's
launches upon slight pull by the
rider. This created all sorts of ap-
preciative comment.
One of, if not the most beautiful
decorated autos was entered in the
name of Ruth Stanley, of Elkton, by
Mr.. Giles, of Wilmington. The car
was completely covered by white
cloth through which tiny electric
lights peeped out at intervals. An
immense doll was fastened atop the
radiator, and a chair, table and cleo
trio candle decorated the rear of the
tonneau. Upon first glance, the
whole effect resembled an immense
mass of frosted icing, or travelling
ice berg. At all events it was one of
the most striking CENTRES in the line
of march. The local tribe of Red
Men also exhibited a really wonderful
effect, this time in the line of float
The wagon was completely hidden in
a mass of Autumn leaves and cedars
and in the miniature thicket thus Gre
ated, several redskins were grouped
about camp fire over which was
placed a steaming cauldron. 1t was
very well done and reflected great
credit upon the lodge.
The five judges who selected the
various prize winners were as fol-
lows: Charles R. Reckefus, William
H. Jones, Mrs. A. T. Abernathy, Miss
Viola Hahn and William H. johnson.
They had no easy task in choosing the
winners, and several entrants were
recalled to the judges stand to un-
dergo another examination. Their
work was eminently fair, however,

ANGLERS ASSO-
CATION STOCK
CHRISTIANA
Local Fishermen Hope to Get
Results from $50 Bass
Placed in Creek
FISHING POND SOON

Local devotees of the rod and reel
have become tired of straying all over
the State in search for big game bass
with plenty of fight, and from now on
their efforts will be directed in put
ting Newark on the fishing map,
figuratively speaking. And why not?
There is only one reason that the
nearby streams and ponds are devoid
of game fish, and that is because no
one has taken sufficient interest in the
matter to make any progress. The
Newark Anglers Association is still
in its infancy but already they have
taken big step forward, and sooner
or later their efforts along this line
will be appreciated
Last week under the supervision of
o. w. Widdoes, president of the Asso-
Walton, $50 large mouth black bass
ranging from 8 to s inches in length
were placed in the Christiana be-
tween Cooch's Dam and McLaughlin's
Mill. These fish were secured from
the United States Government Fish
cries and are of hardy strain. Of
fcials of the Association have re-
quested that anyone catching the
small fish carefully unhook them and
throw them back. Providing they are
left unmolested and given an op-

NEW ROAD WILL,
SOON BE COMPLETE
B. & O. Bridge Span Set in
Place Monday. Many
Spectators
RUSH CONCRETE WORK

After many months of patient wait
ing, residents of Newark and vicinity
will soon be able to roll along in the
family vehicle on solid concrete from
the town limits all the way into Will
mington-that is, providing they feel
so inclined The Lincoln Highway
section between Roseville and New
ark was completed early in the sum-
mer and from that time on everything
has been held up awaiting action by
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Co.,
in removing the old bridge and plac-
ing longer span across the tunnel
cut through the embankment just this
side of Lumbrook. And they have
been waiting quite some time. Mean
while the detour has become badly
worn and is the cause of many caustic
remarks by passing motorists.
The actual placing of the new span
took place last Monday, just before
noon, and the work was finished and
traffic was clear shortly after two
o'clock. The feat called for a large
amount of engineering skill. Two big
cranes were employed in sliding out
the old bridge and setting the new
span in place, and large crowd of
interested spectators were on the job
to offer verbal suggestions and "Now
this is how l would do it" remarks.
However, despite such expert advice,
the workmen managed to get the rails
connected within few minutes after
the span was set, and as the story
books say, everything was lovely.
The only other work to be done is
the laying of 16-foot width of con-
crete under the new bridge and the
removal of the temporary piling on
each side. According to County En-
gineer Grubb, who was present at the
time, this suggestion has been ap-
proved by the Levy Court and the
highway will, no doubt, be open for
traffic early next week.
Now we may all breathe a sigh of
relief, climb aboard our trusty fiivver
and charge down the new road and
under the bridge with great glee.
The only person who insists upon be-
ing pessimistic about the whole thing
is the crossing watchman near the
Union Station in Lumbrook, for it will
leave him without a job for the Win
ter.

Our Youngest Masquerader

Although Elkton may boast of it's
parade and Wilmington of it's num-
mers, Newark takes a crack at fame
in the announcement that within it's
limits last night it held the youngest
masquerader of them all. Frank, Jr.,
better known as "Skeezix," aged five
weeks, hereby has our backing for
the Hall of Fame. All dressed up in
a clown suit, mask and all, the little
fellow crowed with glee at the hob
goblins and boogey men clustered
about him. He is the infant son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank H. Balling. His
daddy is one of the Craftsmen of
Kells on Welch Lane.

Mccoy asked for yea and nay vote
Jones and Buckson; nays, Stetser,
Ball and Mccoy; not voting, Commits
sioners Strahorn and Lattomus, they

gested that the supervisors confer
with the commissioners at their next
meeting.
