FIRE BURNS MILFORD ICE PLANT
Night Blaze Checked After Destroy
ing Ice Cream Plant

Flames Friday night threatened to
destroy a number of stores comprising
Jump Block. The properties are con-
sidered among the best business places
in Milford. Fire was discovered in
an old building in the rear of the
block at 11.3O o'clock. This building
is used by John Gavotos, as an ice
cream mandatory. Mr.. Gavotos es-
Inmates his loss at $1,000. Prompt
work by the Milford fire department
confined the flames to the ice cream
plant. Slight damage was done to a
store occupied by Minerva Ripple,
shoe shop of Albert Archer and to-
bacco store operated by James Sal
mons. Harrison White discovered the
fire and called out the fremen, whose
headquarters are directly opposite the
blocks. Origin Of the fire is mys-
terry. There was an electric motor in
the ice cream plant, and it is possible
the flames were originated by crossed
wires.

vice men. We know who won the
war, it wasn't the NJ. P.'s alone, it
was all of us who wore the o. D. or
the blue or the green, when we were
needed. 1t wasn't the politicians who
stayed at home, or the war profiteers
who furnished our paper saddles and
absorbent slickers. They are still sc
busy thinking of themselves that we
are already forgotten, or would be il
we hadn't made ourselves powerful by

Legion. Our members are men anC
women from all branches of the ser
vice and we take 'em of all rank!

generals. The American Legion is al
organization of you and all your bud

you and all your buddies. You can

charged. We are very anxious to hav
all our buddies come in with us. SEN

DELAWARE CITY-PORT PENN
FOLKS WANT BETTER HIGHWAY
WOULD MEAN MUCH TO SUMNER
PATRONS OF AUGUSTINE PIERS
Estimate 1t Will Cost New Castle
County S78,5OO to Raise and Build
ROad-OppOsitiOn to Costly Prop

A delegation of citizens of Port
Penn and Delaware City, and farmers
living in that vicinity appeared before
the Levy Court yesterday and urged
the improvement of the road between
Delaware City and Port Penn, which
has been in bad condition for some
time. This road, in sections has been
flooded for some time, and traffic
made impossible. To raise the road
will mean raising the highway for a
distance of a mile. 1t will be neces-
sary to raise the present road at its
lowest point about ten feet. Follow
ing the reading of County Engineer
Grubb's report on the road the report
was referred to the committee of the
whole. Dr. Walter w. Ellis, who has
lived at Delaware City eight years,
said that during the past five years
he personally has lost $4,000. In
many cases he said that it meant life
and death. He attributed this situa-
ton to the bad condition of the road
William b. Jester, of Delaware City
emphasized the need of improving
and raising the road, declaring that il
was most imperative that something
be done at once to relieve conditions
Harry Webb, Harry c. Clark ant
Joseph Anderson likewise urged tn,
improvement of the road. Elme
Bender, of Port Penn, said the rive
bank at this point, was built in 175
and that a road has existed sine
then. Mr.. Clark blamed the condition
of the road on the fact that it ha
been neglected Mr.. Bender declar
, the road should not be abandoned, bU
should be improved. Frank Hickman
of Port Penn and S. L. Peck, living be
tween Delaware City and Port Penn
: also spoke in favorO of the road.
z report of County Engineer Grubb wa
/ read relative to the road. He sal
2 500 lineal feet is involved to rails
1 the roadway above flood tide and
e foot extra, about 100000 cubic yarC
= to fill is necessary. The cost of tn
= work would be $4,000, which wou
+ include raising the road and install
d ton of sluice The improvement
+ the road will protect the Dutch Ne,
" road and also the Higgins causew;
e on the Delaware City-St. Georg
i road. Mr.Grubb's report stated tn
g an average of $4,000 yearly has be,
e spent on the three miles of river ban
e and that it now is in bad shape.
/ was said it would require a year

Watch on Those Who Violate Law
Dandelions are now on and while
many down the State are getting
ready for this popular home brew, pro
hibitiOn authorities are keeping a
watch to apprehend viOlaterS of the
law. This however is given little
concern by residents of southern Del
aware at this time of the year, for the
season of making dandelon wine is at
hand and from now until June, hun
dreds of people will be engaged in
making a supply for the "stomach's
sake" and as a spring tonic. Nature
this springtime seems to have smiled
on those who are fond of something
stronger than Bryan's grapejuice, anC
has brought forth an abundance OF
dandeliOn blooms which are being
gathered by the small boys and girls
and sold for wine-making purposes
Fields abound in the little yellow
flowers at the present time, and chill
dren are able to realize from twent!
to twenty-five cents a half-peck TO,
picking them. Many of them are abl
to earn between school hours as mucl
as a dollar.

BISHOP COOK SEES CHILDREN
Tells 500 at Wilmington He Predicts
Growth of Church Thru Their Activity

Four or five automobile loads made
up a lively contingent Sunday after
noon of Church School Children and
teachers representing St. Peters
Church, Smyrna, at the Special eX-
ercises held at Trinity Church. The
occasion was a notable one. Children
were there from all over the Diocese.
When the five hundred or more chill
dren were gathered together Bishop
Cook in happy vein addressed them.
He told them one of the most promis-
ing signs for the future of the church
is the activity and interest of the
younger generation. Bishop Cook
presided and warmly commended the
! children for their interest in the work
Of the church. He said they had set
an example which it would be well for
the elders to follow. He urged a con-
tinued interest in church affairs and
the full appreciation Of the great work
to be done in the missionary field. The
banner was turned over to St. Thorn
as Church School of Newark by the
pupils Of Emmanuel School, of VIII
mington, which held it for last year.
The award is made on the basis of
/ the greatest per capita returns on the
offering for the missionary work. So
licited by the children, during each
Lenten period. The record for St
Thomas school was a contribution of
S840, representing 50 pupils The to-
tai contribution was $500, with I'm
manuel Sunday School, the largest
contributor on a general basis, having
given $500.
