MILFORD NEW CENTURY CLUB

The regular meeting of the Milford
New Century Club was held Monday,
November goth, with the president,
Mrs. J. Lynn Pratt, in the chair. The
minutes of the last meeting were read
and approved.
1t has been the aim of the club la
dies for a number of years to be able
to open a library. At last the much eX-
pected hour has arrived and the club
library opened Monday last with about
fifty books. Miss Burdella Davis acted
as librarian of the day. A different Ii
brarian will be appointed for each
week, so as to make the work lighter
on all the members. Any member will
be able to get books before the meet
ing is called or at the close Of the
meeting. Just as soon as enough
books are secured the library will be
open to the public. Anyone who has
not already contributed books please
bring them next Monday.
'My Love is a Rose" by viii H.
Ruebush, was beautifully sung by
Mrs. Disston Jacobs, accompanied by
Mrs. Edward Hurley.
A most interesting talk was given
by Mrs. ]. Harry Humes on the trip
she and Mr.. Humes took last summer.
They first crossed the continent, just
across the Canadian border, to Van
couver, and Victoria; then up the wes-
tern coast to Skagway, Alaska; then
to Dawson-the all light city; and re-
turned by Seattle, Portland and San
Francisco. She illustrated her talk by
maps, cards, photos, and snapshots
as well as several curious souvenirs
that were collected along the way.
Mining, fishing and lumber camps
seemed the chief occupation, while
some are taking up a new idea of
"fox FARMS" This would seem pos
sible step, owing to the much use of
furs. One of the most interesting fea-
lures were the Totem Poles, that each
family have in their cemetery lots.
Much magnificent scenery was at hand
during the entire trip. All who were
not present missed a rare treat, for
Mrs. Humes explained everything
thoroughly.
Monday next, Temperance, in
charge of Mrs. James Pierce.

START WORK ON STRAIGHT
ENING MISPILLION RIVER

After several years hard work those
citizens of Milford who have been ac-
tive in their efforts, to have the Mis-
pillion River Strengthened between
Milford and the Delaware Bay are
about to see this work done. A few
years ago an appropriation for this
purpose was made by Congress but
the property owners along the right
of away, in some few instances, refus-
ed to give or sell the right of way.
This of necessity held UP the work. A
few months ago the committee of To-
cal people interested in the project
succeeded in clearing up this Obsta-
Gle to the work, and the government
was given deeds for the entire right
of way between the Bay and Milford.
On Tuesday the engineers COM
menced work in preparing for the
dredges. At the High Hill section of
the river a cut will be made across to
that section of the river known as the
Pierce Fertilizer reach. In the direct
line of the dredges large barge had
been sunk a few years ago. This was
loaded with stone, and it was neces-
sary to blow it out with dynamite.
This was done Tuesday. Trees and
other large obstacles to the dredging
machines have also been blown out.
This work is preliminary to the ac-
tual dredging operations, which will
start in the very near future.
At the present time the river is
about fourteen miles in length from
the head of navigation to the bay.
When the new cut-Offs are completed
the length will be less than ten miles.
At the present time steamers cannot
go down the river and out the mouth
of the stream into the bay on one
tide. This is caused by the loss of
time in making the sharp turns and
bends in the river. When the new
work now starting is completed boats
will be enabled to go down the stream
and out on one tide. This will make
boating profitable, and be a big asset
to. business generally in the town.

FIRST SNOW FLURRIES OF
THE SEASON ON WEDNESDAY

' Visions of what is before the resi-
dents of lower Delaware in the shape
of real winter weather were brought
to the minds of persons who were out
Of doors on Wednesday morning. Snow
furries of several minutes duration
and at frequent intervals were notice
able. There was not enough snow even
to be noticed by persons who were
not out of doors, but to those who
saw the snow came visions of winter
weather in the near future. The wea-
ther this fall has been exceptionally
mild.

CANNED CORN PACK
is BELOW NORMAL

The production of canned corn in
the United States for the season just
closed was smaller than the normal
production of this product, according
to data compiled by the National Can
ners' Association, and announced
through the Department of Commerce
this week. A group of States including
Delaware produced 701,O0O cases Of
"a No. 2 cans, which is an increase
over 1921. In that year these same
States which included Delaware pro-
duced 100000 cases, as compared with
1884, 900 cases in 1920.
The Department said that these fig
ures represent a smaller pack than
normal and following the very small
pack of 1921, should result in a firm
market for canned corn.
