An automobile became stalled on
the track at the crossing just north
of the depot Saturday evening, just
as the southbound passenger train
was coming in. The engineer of the
train saw it and got his train under
control so quickly so that it seemed
impossible to avoid a frightful acci-
dent. It was witnessed by a large
number of people who were there to
meet a funeral party. The engineer
deserves credit for preventing what
might have been a serious accident.

Pursuant to the requirements of
Section 8, Chapter 63, Volume 29,
Laws of Delaware, the State High
way Department last week advertised
the roads recommended by the Chief
Engineer to be converted into State
Highways during 1922. The advertise
ment does not mention any streets
of or in Frankford. The streets of this
town are generally admitted to be in
a most deplorable condition. They
certainly do not invite pleasure trav-
ell and no business unless it is neces-
sary to use our streets. The advertise
ment referred to recommends two
tenths of a mile, FrankfOrd to du Pont
road, and three and one-tenth miles,
FrankfoRd to Omar. The people of
this town will know now that the state
is not for this year, contemplating
improving any of our streets, and the
local authorities might as well get
busy and give some attention to the
streets.
AS a result of the evangelistic ser
vices which the Rev. P. K. Wander
kan has been conducting in the Pres
byterian Church for the past two
weeks, seven persons have united with
