Pont road accordingly it often be-
came necessary to strike a new To-
cation, although the highway follows
old roads in the main. The shorten
ing of distances has resulted in ever
increasing savings for motorists.
The cost of additional right of way
was offset by saving in paving ma
terials and construction.
Road Touches Important Cities
The du Pont road, which is the
backbone of the State highway sys-
tenn, is nearly 100 miles in length
and touches or skirts the following
places: Wilmington, st. Georges,
Odessa, Smyrna, Dover, Magnolia.
Frederick, Milford, Lincoln, George
town, Millsboro, Dagsboro, Frank
ford and Selbyville.
Virtually all of the du Pont road is
concrete. When construction was be-
gun in 1911 several other types of
pavement were laid over short dis
tances, south of Georgetown, to test
the efficiency of the different kinds
of material and methods of construc-
tion.
In addition to the services of prom
inent American engineers, General
du Pont called into consultation sew
eral foreign engineers in an effort to
determine definitely the most dur
able type of road.
AS in the case of some other pro-
jects undertaken in Delaware, poll
tics was injected and in sections of
the State almost insurmountable OBJ
stacles to the building of the road
were encountered.
Due to opposition offered in New
Castle and Kent counties, work on
the du Pont road was begun in Sus-
sex county, where the first grade |
stake was driven on September 18,
1911, after the right of way had been
acquired between Georgetown and
he Maryland line-a distance Of
lbout twenty miles.

Thirteen Years After Starting OF Project General Coleman du POn
Gives Diamond State Title To Entire Road Wednesday OF
This Week In Dover
SENATOR DU POINT saw HIS HIGHWAY THROUGH
The Face OF Determined Opposition He Saked His Money And
WOn--His Vision Started Deaware's Wonderful Highway
System Which Is Growing Steadily Year By Year.

The Coleman du Pont road, con
stTucted at a cost of more than S4,-
100000 was formally accepted by
Delaware on Wednesday,. The donor
General Coleman du POnt was pub
licly thanked at the State House at
Dover by Governor Denney in the
name of the people of the State.
Presentation of the road by Cen
eral du Pont and its acceptance by
the Governor of Delaware was pre-
ceded by a large automobile parade
at Dover, where a historical page
ant was presented to symbolic the
political, social, agricultural and in
dustrial progress of the State from
its founding to the present day. A
special feature of the celebration
was a reproduction of Caesar Rod
ney's ride from Lewes to Independ-
ence Hall in Philadelphia. Rodney
was impersonated by member of
the Dover American Legion Post.
The evolution of transportation,
made possible by good roads, dem
onstrated with exhibits ranging from
an old Conestoga wagon to the latest
type of heavy mOtOrtruck.
The du Pont road originally was
begun by group of citizens, headed
by Mr.. du Pont, known as the BOul-
evard Corporation. This organization
agreed to build the road and turn it
over to the State with the under
standing that the State would main
tain it forever. Construction was be-
gun in 1911 at the southernmost
point of Delaware in Sussex county.
Litigation interfered with rapid pro-
gress. By 1917 twenty miles of con-
crete pavement had been laid.
In 1917 the State realized the i'm
portance of a system of good roads,
and the State Highway Department
was organized. The Boulevard Cor
poration went out of existence. Mr..
du Pont, loath to see work on the
road abandoned, offered to pay for
it's completion, under State super
vision, at a cost not to exceed -$44,- /
900 a mile. The offer was accepted.
The last stretch of the pavement !
was laid this year.

Note: Sub-sections and local

and requirements, hold regular meet
ings of all the members of the factory

or local group, is an executive COM
mittee consisting of three to five per-
sons, elected at the general meeting
of the members of the nuclei of the
subsection or local group, or else,
depending upon local conditions (e. g.
when the Party is illegal) at dele
gate conferences. The Secretary of
the committee of the subsection and
of the local groups must be confirmed
by the section committee Tin the coun-

should consist of delegates from the
factory nuclei. The number of dele
gates from each nucleus should be de-
cided by the subsection or sub-district
committee.
In organizations where, owing to the
fact that they are illegal, it is i'm
possible to have a large representa-
ton at the sections or sub-district con-
ferences, the delegates may be elected
not directly by the nuclei. but at sub

factory nuclei. The factory nuclei, by
leading the struggles of the working
masses for their everyday needs,
should direct them into the fight for
the dictatorship of the proletariat. A
factory nucleus should, therefore, con-
slider and determine its point of view
upon every political or economic ques-
ton agitating the working masses,
and upon every conflict arising in the
revolutionary method of settling ques-
tions and, as the most conscious and
active part of the working class must
assume the leadership of the struggle.
In addition to general party work,
the tasks of the factory nuclei are as
follows:
1. To carry on Communist agitation
and propaganda among the non-party
working masses; systematic instruc-
ton of individual workers in order to
draw them into the ranks of the Com
munist Party; distribution of political
literature in the factories; discussion
Of questions affecting the factory; and
even the publication of a special fac
tory newspaper; the carrying on of
social and agitational work among the
factory workers.
2. Determined and continuous eff
forts must be made to win elected
posts in the shops, trade unions, Co
operatives, factory committees, con-
troll commissions, etc.
3. The nuclei should participate IN
all the economic conflicts and de-
mands Of the workers. The task Of the
nuclei is to broaden and deepen the
movement, to point out to the work
srs the political consequences Of the
struggle, and to persuade them to
adopt the wider struggle (both eco.
