MAKING AERIAL MAP OF STATE
Map of Delaware Being Made by the
War Department Showing all Roads

Map OF Delaware Being Maue Dy the
War Department Showing all Roads
Expert aerial photographers in the
employ of the United States War De-
partment are hustling to complete the
most unusual map of Delaware ever
attempted. It's a geological map
showing all of the improved and un-
improved roads in the State, en1brac-
ing territory of 1000 square miles.
The work of photographying Della
ware has been going forward for sew
eral weeks and is about rs per cent
completed. The exposures taken from
a height of two miles above the earth
are remarkably clear and distinct. 1t
is hard to believe that a Photographic
plate exposed more than 10000 feet
above the earth should develop view
50 plain that the black line down the
middle of all Delaware state highways
is plainly discernable. But that is
just what these government photog-
raphers are doing. When the work is
completed the State Highway Com
mission will receive a copy which, be
cause of it's comprehensiveness is in
valuable,or would be in case of war
time contingencies. After the High
way Commission gets the map from
the government an edition for public
distribution will probably be prepared

BASS FISHING SEASON OPENED
IN DELAWARE LAST TUESDAY
DELAWARE PONDS ARE WE'LL
STOCKED WITH FINNY TRIBE
Nom Residents Must Procure License
Before Fishing in Delaware Ponds
Restocking Ponds with Bass

Disciples of Izaak Walton are having
their innings this week in the ponds
and streams of the State, for, begin
ming Tuesday of last week, bass, pike
and pickerel, the principal fresh wat
er game fish in Delaware, are being
caught Devotees Of the rod and reel
in this State, as well as hundreds from
nearby Maryland and Pennsylvania
will trek to the favorite fishing
grounds, and once more the story Of
how the biggest bass escaped after
terrific struggle will enliven the
haunts of the fishermen.
New Castle county bass and pike
fishermen will HE their way to the
several ponds Of the state and the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal. From
preliminary reports the fishing this
year should be the best ever. The
Delaware State Game and Fish Com
mission has devoted much time and
care to the restocking and retaining
Of game fish, and is going to see that
the game and fish laws are lived up
to during the open seasons.
While restocking has been one
method adopted by the Fish and Game
Commissioners, it has been found that
reclaiming bass and pike, particularly
the former, has proved more efficaci-
Gus. Fishermen who draw streams of
the State are paid SO much for each
game fish reclaimed, and upon notifi-
cation to the nearest game warden
that a drawing will take place, the
warden is on hand to tally up on the
fish and arrange for their transfer to
ponds. 1t has been found that re-
claimed native bass are more salts
factory than restocking with govern
ment fish, although both methods are
used.
Delaware streams and ponds are
Meccas for outside fishermen, but this
very fact makes the work Of conserva-
ton vital undertaking. It is esti-
mated that over a thousand Pennsyl-
vania fishermen secured licenses to
fish in Delaware last season, and when
other states are included, the fisher
men coming from far and near, coupl-
ed with our native brand Of fishermen,
the game fish Of Delaware might soon
be wiped out if conservation were not
faithfully practiced.
Special care will be taken this sea
son to see that nonresident fishermen
procure licenses and obey to the letter
the fishing laws Of the State. Last
Sunday a test was made Of Pennsyl-
vania fishermen coming into Delaware
and out of two hundred asked to pro
duce their licenses, only one was
found with none, and he Immediately
took one out

Free Display of Fireworks to be Given
Every Friday Night During Season
Everybody seems to like fire works,
particularly the better kind and as
this form of entertainment proved 50
popular last year at Riverview Beach,
it has been decided to give a free dis
play every Friday night until the
closing of the Park. The program will
be changed every week and many nov
elites will be introduced during the
season. Those who have seen the
Fire Works at Riverview Beach report
that it is we'll worth making a special
trip to see this unusual display. The
new ferries at New Castle with their
frequent service and landing directly
at the Beach, make it decided easy to
see this spectacular show of Pyro-
technics.

DEFEAT FALKENSTINE

1t isn't customary for the Press to
take a hand in the political situation
trying to tell its readers and those it
speaks for who to vote for or who not
to vote for. The Press feels that
the average union man has intelli-
gence enough to vote for the man best
for his interests. But in this in
stance, lest it be forgotten, the Press
desires to call attention to one cam
didate whom it feels and knows ought
to be defeated. The Press refers to
C. C. Falkenstine, who seeks re-elec-
ton as representative to the state
legislature on the republican ticket.
After his actions in the last session
of the legislature Falkenstine is not
to be trusted that he will carry out

is most worthy of support. The build
ing is needed in that it will relieve
the congestion in the grade schools
now prevalent in all our school build
ings. They are all overcrowded.
Hamilton's school population is grow
ing by leaps and bounds. Something
must be done, and done quick, if we
are to meet the situation where our
school children are to be properly car
ed for and housed. Many of the
school youth today in Hamilton are
being cared for and taught in hall
ways, attic rooms and rooms secured
temporarily elsewhere. Let's relieve
the situation-vote the school bonds.
The third proposal, and one of as
much Importance as ever came be-
fore the citizens of Hamilton, is that
of the sewer bonds for East Hamilton
and all that territory lying east of
the canal in the city limits. This
proposal is of special Importance to
all the citizens when it is considered it
is for the benefit of nearly one-fifth
of the entire population of the city.
That is, the number of people resid-
| ing in the city limits, east of the
canal, who are without street inn
provements such as paved streets,
guttering, ETC., because storm sewers
must first be installed before i'm
provements can be made. For years
and years, the people in the territory
referred to have gone on and on, vot-
ing bonds and through taxation pay
ing for improvements in other parts
of the city which they are now ask
ing others to help them to. East
Hamilton and that territory east OF
the canal is deserving of support in
the request for storm sewers. The
cost to the taxpayers annually fol
this improvement will be .194 mills
or about 1912 cents per thousand as
sessed valuation. In other words, il
your home is assessed at $4,000 fol
taxation, the additional annual ta1
you pay for the sewer bonds will bt
So 1-5 cents, or higher or lower IL
proportion to your tax valuation
Surely you won't stand back for thi:
amount to help your fellow citizel
and neighbor, especially when yol

those jams Of commodities which cre-
ate what we foolishly call panics,
There may be those who think all
this running around is foolish and
is bad for the human race. It is a
nomadic performance. But who is
to be the judge and by what right? ?
1t seems to be the thing that the null
titudes want to do, and by that token
it is the right thing to do
The main point is that humanity
has been able to wrench from this
economic order sufficient time and
money to take this freedom and spend
it as it jolly well likes.
And the bigger point is that where
that freedom came from there is
more freedom to be had for the mil
lions now on the road and for others
as well.

THE CHARTER

Questions which the Press deems
the most important to come before
the people of Hamilton in years are
those coming up in one single ballot
next Tuesday, the smallest ballot of
six which will be handed each voter
upon entering the polls. These ques-
tions are:
Do we want change in city gov
ernment or are we satisfied with our
present form Of government?
Will change in the form of gov
ernment give us better administration
of the city's affairs, or will it not?
Will the proportional representation
election Of officials give us better rep
resentation in the city's official
than does the present system of
electing officials?
These and other questions of vital
Importance are involved in the little
ballot-the city charter ballot-which
is to be voted on next Tuesday.
Inasmuch as Trades Council, after
a lengthy discussion, took no action
in the matter, for or against, and be-
cause several of the trade unions act
ed similarly while others went on rec
ord against it, the Press, spokesman
for Hamilton organized labor, doesn't
deem it proper to attempt to dictate
as to how the union voters of Hamil-
ton should vote on this momentous
question. Leaving it to the voters
themselves to thresh it out with them
selves and then vote as they deem
best.
The Press does, however, advise and
urge upon every one of it's readers to
study this question, which is of so
much Importance to the future of the
city, carefully and deeply between
now and next Tuesday, then lay aside
any personal feeling or prejudice that
may exist, and vote only for what
they think is best for the old towns
future.

BOOST THE BONDS

All three bond proposals to come
before the voters next Tuesday are
deserving the support of every citi-
zen. Trades Council has gone on rec
ord to endorse and lend its support to
the three proposals as well as have
many of the trade unions. 1t is nee
essary that the bonds carry if Hamil-
ton is to go forward. We can't have
Improvement if we are not willing to
pay for them.
One of the proposals is for 100000
for new city building. And is there
anyone to say that new city build
ing is not needed in Hamilton? If
so, then that citizen never enters city
hall, and if he does he lacks all that
city pride that goes to make up good
citizen. It may be that some are op-
posed to building new city building
for this reason or that, close-fsted
ness, politics, imaginary grievances,
lack of city pride, etc., but the Press
will not believe there is any citizen in
Hamilton, of average intelligence,
whether he supports the bond issue or
not, but what will agree a new city
hall for Hamilton is badly needed
Another proposal is that for $780,
900 for the erection of a new junior
high school building. This project
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1926-10-29

any promises or pledges which he
might make. 1t will be remembered
before his last election Falkenstine
solemnly and faithfully promised and
pledged himself to support the rati-
fication of the federal child labor
amendment. His party platform car
ried a plank favoring the ratification
and as a candidate of his party he
obligated himself to support the meas
ure. In a signed questionable to the
Ohio State Federation of Labor ne
pledged himself to vote for ratifica-
ton. But what did he do when the
time came to make good his prom
ises? Why, he simply voted against
it with no other reason than that he
had changed his mind. And he q
preacher, at that.
So, if Falkenstine's pledges are to
be lightly regarded in one instance il
is only fair to assume they will be
so in any others that he might make
There are other candidates for the
office, good men and true, so why take
chance? Falkenstine has been tried
and found wanting. Vote for two Of
the other three candidates and take
chance. 1t can't be worse, and the
Press is confident it will be better

about many things, sometimes pro-
foundly, sometimes fIippantl-.
sometimes recklessly. -. -.

Three million automobiles are on
the road, touring here and there, just
for fun In these three million auto
mobiles are sixteen million persons.
That is large number of automo-
bilesl and a still larger number of
persons.
Whoever has seen tourist camp
knows that men, women and babes in
arms go touring at all times of the
year.
Almost every step in the social and
economic scale is represented in these
touring multitudes.
Mostly, however, they are wage
earners and their families, or farmers
and their families. Some, of course,
are migratory birds of passage. Some
are the gypsies who used to amble
about in horse-drawn wagons.
But this great number of rowing
men and women signifies to some ex-
tent and in some manner the freedom
that is coming to those who know
how to take it.
Never in the history Of the worlc

persons who could leave their homes
and wander just for the fun of it, ever
for a brief space of time.

LABOR IN INSURANCE FIELD

Company announces the needed $780,
600 capital and surplus about all paid

open for business.
Labor's entrance into the insurance
field promises to be even more note
worthy than its invasion of the sacred
precincts of banking, as millions of
the wage earners' dollars are handled
by the insurance companies as against
thousands deposited in banks.
The new company will handle life,
health, accident and other forms Of
insurance. The stock has been sold
at $25 per share, but an additional $25
had to accompany each purchase, this
additional sum going to create sur
plus. The stockholders may receive
maximum of per cent interest on
the actual money paid in, all addi-
tional profits going to the policy hold
