The effort of Delegate Sutherland to induce the
War Department assign army aerial squadron

Of Alaska If the effort should succeed it would re-
suit in determining the usefulness of aerial navga-
ton Alaska and If it should prove successful as
could be hoped it would probably be followed by

places in the North.
The Government is in better position to pioneer
in this work in Alaska than any other agency. The
War Department has airplanes and men to man them
They continue to have them and the men must
be trained Alaska would give the men in the service
a new field in which to work and the training neces-
sary to tackle difficult problems. Therefore

Much Activity Along
6. and D. Canal

A big crowd of onlookers gathered
about the locks of the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal at Chesapeake City
Sunday to watch the entrance of sew
eral big dredges into the supply pond
along side the locks. These dredges
were moved into the pond through a
cut between it and Back Creek, which
links the Canal with Chesapeake Bay.
Later the cut will be bulkheaded.
The canal was opened for traffic on
Sunday after being closed for two
days while the dredges were moved
into their new positions. 1t is expect
ed that another shutdown of the
waterway will take place this week.
When the bulkhead is completed it
is planned to make another cut from
the pond into the canal itself east of
Chesapeake City locks, through which
the dredges will pass directly into the
canal itself. They then can be moved
into positions for dredging west OF
the Summit Bridge, or along the
Deep Cut.

ELECTED PASTOR
BY HIS FLOCK
Congregation OF Elkton
Church Dehes Presbytery
MAY MEAN MORE WAR

The congregation of the Elkton
Presbyterian Church held a meeting
last Sunday and elected Rev. John
McElmoyle pastor Of the church. The
salary announced is placed at $4,000
per annum. In this action, the
Church placed itself on record as de-
flying the power of the New Castle
Presbytery as recorded in its order of
a month ago.
1t is the sincere hope of the con-
gregation that the election of Mr.. Nc
Elmoyle will be agreeably received by
the authorities and that the long
standing quarrel will be definitely
settled.
On the other hand, it seems that
this action has only served to stir up
added feeling between Presbytery and
Church, for the simple reason that
the order of the Presbytery dissolving
relations with the Elkton church has
been upheld by the General Assembly
the Church's highest authority.
A special meeting is looked for in
the course of a few days, to conside,
the latest development in the stormy
discussion.
