A Kitchen Shower

On Thursday night, March 9th, Miss
Katherine Davis gave a very delight
full party. The early evening was
spent in playing bridge, of which she
had seven tables. Mrs. Morris Lam
mey captured first prize, while Mrs.
Paul Poetschke cut for, and won con-
ISOLATION prize. After refreshments
the guests enjoyed, not a March or
April shower, but kitchen one, Civ
en- in honor of Miss Mildred B. Truitt,
whose engagement to Mr.. Jesse Ham
ilton, of Pittsburgh, Pa, was an
nounced before Christmas, and whose
wedding will probably be in early
fall. The shower was an unexpected
one, but the recipient was right ready
with the surprise, and speeches ap-
propriate. The gifts were varied and
most useful. Special mention should
be made of the talley made for the
bridge, by Miss Davis. They were lit
tie paper girls, dressed in blue and
pink gingham, with faces and hats,
done in water cOlOrs. Miss Davis dis
played more of her ingenuity in the
hand made apron, and two gingham
handkerchiefs, that she gave for
prizes.

HOG GROWERS MEET
Sussex County To Have An AS
sOciatiOn Organized Before
May 3Oth.

The annual meeting of the Kent
County Poland China Growers was
held in County Agent R. E. Wilson's
Office, February 28th. Much interest
and optimism was evident among the
members present.
Many matters pertaining to breed
promotion work that could be done by
the Association were discussed. A
motion relative to having Delaware
Poland Chinas represented at the 1922
International by a pen of barrows
fed out and fitted by the Animal Hus-
bandry Department of our State I'm
iversity and shown at the Associa-
tiOn's expense was unanimously an
proved and passed.
AS Sussex county breeders are 60
ing to organize County Association,
a motion was made and passed that
a State meeting be called before May
Both, for the purpose of organizing a
State Association, in addition to the
County Associations which will be
maintained President Taylor and
Stanley Short. gave
their annual reports. The records of
the secretary were audited and pass
ed on as being correct. All special
work was left with the executive COM
mittee.
A. D. Cobb discussed the pure-bred
business outlook and the raising of
market hogs in Delaware. He said
here was no reason why many Della
ware farmers could not raise hogs
Drofitably. Corn would be worth 81
l bushel marketed by the way of $iO |
,wt. pork instead of so cents as it is
marketed on the ear. Legumes and
high protein concentrates are as album
liant and cheap here as in the West
md we do not have to pay the Wes
ern stOckmen's high transportation
'ates, so why not raise hogs here.
~All the Association officers were re-
elected. All pure-bred hog raisers
hould join now and assist in plan
ling the years work.

New Jersey Will
Operate Lewes Ferry
Gov. Edwards Has Signed Bill Providing
Connecting Facilities With Delaware
Twill Shorten Route Between the
Southern States and Jersey Resorts
Delaware Must Build Connecting
Road Link.

Governor Edwards of New JERSEY
signed the New Jersey-Delaware ferry
bill, making it a law. This provides
for ferry service between Cape May
and Lewes, in this State. The purpose
is to shorten the route between south
ern points and New Jersey coast re-
sorts. According to information re-
ceived from Cape May, work is to be
begun there at once on a ferry termin-
al, and it is hoped to have the service
in operation in June, boat to be pro-
cured for the route in the meantime.
1t will carry passengers and motor
cars.
The Pennsylvania and Reading rail-
roads have been granted the rights of
way over the Cape May Point BOule-
ward to the new ferry landing at Cape
May Point, and it is understood that
the roads will build and operate joint
ly a road to the ferry line.
The new route will give the South
ern States a connecting line with the
North, via Delaware roads and Lewes,
thence to Cape May, to the New Jer-
sey coast main seashore boulevard,
through Cape May, Wildwood, Ocean
City, Sea Isle City, Somers Point,
Pleasantville, Chelsea, Atlantic City,
Seagirt, Asbury Park, Ocean Grove,
Long Branch and other coast resorts.
However, there is going to be an
annoying break in the Delaware part
of the route. At the last session of the
Delaware Legislature, an apprOpria-
tion of $4,000 was made, in contem-
platiOn of this interstate ferry ser
vice, for the necessary boat terminal
at Lewes. There is, however, a |
stretch of unimprOved road about ten |
miles in length extending from the |
State road at Harbeson to Lewes, for /
which no provision has been made.
This road is now sand and gravel,
being an average Sussex highway. Eff
forts have been made, particularly by
citizens Of Lewes and others in that
part of the State, to have the State
Highway Commission take over this
section of road and rebuild it, but the
latter body has stated that it is with
Out funds to make improvements at
his time.
The project was the subject of
spirited hearing before the Highway
Commission in Dover on March l. At
hat time many prominent citizens of
4ewes made urgent pleas for a mod
.rn road over this route and the High

Wednesday.
Frank Edwards, of Dover, continues
to improve.
Mrs. Ira M. Henderson of Fairfield.

hospital, during the past week and
has now returned to her parents
home in Glendale
The third daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
James o. SalmOns, was born in the
hospital last Thursday morning. Mo-
ther and baby are both doing nicely.
Dorothy Hearn, the seVen-months-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Avery
Hearn, of Laurel, was brought to the
hospital Saturday of the past week.
The baby is improving under treat
ment.
DR.. Spackman, of Wilmington, one
of the new consulting surgeons for
the Milford Emergency Hospital, per-
formed a major operation on Mrs. H.
r. Lemex, of Milford, Tuesday of this
week. Mrs. Lemex has made a good
recovery and is resting comfortably.
An emergency operation was per-
formed on Miss Mildred Moore, of
Wyoming, Sunday evening. She is now
doing nicely.
More records for the new Victrola
have been sent in by Mr.. Stokes and
Mr.. Bratten. They are being enjoyed
by all.
The knitted cover made by the La
dies Aid of the Ave. M. E. Church, is |
being enjoyed by the women, who are
able to sit up in the wOmen's ward.
All services donated to the insti-
tuition, discounts given by merchants
and sewing done by the ladies of the
town, have been greatly appreciated.
DR.. L. J. Hammond, chief surgeon
Of the Methodist Hospital, Philadel-
Dhia, and DR.. James G. Spackman,
chief surgeon of the Homeopathic
Hospital, Wilmington, have at the in
1itation of the hospital medical board,
to be on the Milford Emer-
gency Hospital staff of consulting
surgeons.
These two specialists have already
lone great many major operations
It the hospital, with uniform good re-
ults, and it is considered quite an
lonOr to have them on the staff.
Having two such splendid men to ,
ONE to Milford, to operate, will mean
great deal to the community, be-
ause it will make it possible for !
lany, who would otherwise go to the
ity for operations to remain at home.

| way Commissioners expressed their
willingness to comply with the re-
quest If they were financially able to
do so.
The Sussex County Highway Com
mission also expressed willingness to
cooperate and to bear half the bur-
den. In fact, it was willing to bond
the county and build the road if it
could be assured of being reimbursed
30 per cent by the State Highway
Commission later. AS the latter board
could give no assurance, not knowing
what the next Legislature would do
the project is at a standstill.
When State Highway Commissioner
Newton L. Grubb was asked about
the matter he admitted the correct
ness of all the above facts. He said,
when asked to estimate the cost of the
proposed road improvement, that he
thought the amount required would
be about $S5O,OOO.
AT the beginning of the year." Mr..
Grubb said, I'VE mapped out our bud
get and did not find it possible to in
clude this stretch of road, for the rea-
son that it was necessary to take care
of other projects that had been ar
ranged for and to provide for mainte-
nance of roads that have been built.
So it will not be possible for the
Highway Commission to do anything
on this project this year.
1T therefore seems to be up to the
next Legislature as to what, if any
thing, can be done next year. I un-
1erstand that it would have been pos
5ible to have done some road build /
ng and to have included this item had |
t not been for the vigorous opposi- /
ion to a proposed increase in the fl /
lancial resources of the Highway
Commission, when an effort was
made to obtain this at the last ses-
ZION of the Legislature. AS a matter
If fact, l am told that some of the
strongest opposition to this proposed
Increase developed in Sussex county,
lmOng members of the Legislature
rom districts now affected, and it
vas because of this and similar oppo-
ition that the board finds itself han
icapped in its effort to do what it
links should be done now. believe
his road should be built and l am
-illing to do my part towards its ac-
when the financial
leans are found"

BOYS SUMMER CAMP
To Be Opened in New England
June 29th By Wallace Green
Arnold, A Milford Boy.

At Westport, Connecticut, a summer
camp for boys will be opened June
29th next, by Wallace Green Arnold.
who is nephew of DR.. J. Lynn Pratt
of Milford and who was a high school
student in Milford in 1908. The camp
will be unique in one respect, as it
will afford opportunity for the bows
to become familiar with the most of
the New England States, by motor
trips to the Berkshire Hills, the Green
Mountains of Vermont and the White
Mountains of New Hampshire. The
lakes of Maine and all the historical
points in Massachusetts will be visit
ed and the boys be told in an interest
ing way, of these important events in
the history of the United States. The
camp will continue for nine weeks un-
der the direction and management of
Mr.. Arnold, who is director of the
TOltec Club of New York.
The camp, which viii be known as
the "TOltec Club" will have from
twenty to thirty boys, drawn from all
sections of the country. Famous his
tOrial spots will also be visited as we'll
as centers of learning, such as Har-
ward University in Cambridge, Yale |
University in New Haven, the battle
fields of Lexington and Concord. Mr..
Arnold has expressed the hope that
the campers would feel at the end of |
the season that they had really gain
ed genuine sense of New England |
and it's traditions.
The Toltec Club has been engaged,
in solving the needs for
healthy Out-of-doors activity for
school boys in New York City over a
period of several years.
