ROAD PAVING CAUSES DEToUR
Traffic Between Marcus Hook and
Chester Diverted During Improvement

The Pennsylvania State Highway
Department will commence the repav-
ing of Post road between Price street,
Trainer, and the bridge over Hook
creek. The repaving of Fourth street
in Trainer, that lies between the Ches-
ter city line and Price street, will
also be done. All traffic from Ches-
ter to this borough will be detoured
over Highland avenue, west on Ridge
road, to Market street, Lnwood, and
south on Market street, to Marcus
Hook Eastward traffic leaving the
borough will be compelled to use the
same route. Plans for the construc-
tion of the repaved portion of Post
road at Trainer call for a twenty-six
foot concrete roadway, with the tracks
of the Southern Pennsylvania Trac-
ton Company in the middle of the
roadway. The cost will be appor-
toned between the state, county and
the borough of; Trainer. Specifca-
tions provide for the elimination of
the dangerous curve at Trainer Mills.
Chester City has already paved Four
tn street to Trainer and the new road
will continue through Fourth street to
connect with the present highway at
the bend near Stony Run. It will not
then be necessary to use Third street
in Trainer when going to Chester or
to Marcus Hook. The new
road will be a great convenience to
motorists using this much-traveled
and will afford quicker run
ming time for the buses running be-
tween Marcus Hook and Chester. In
order to meet any contingency that
may arise because of the heavy traf-
fic on Ridge road( caused by detour-
ing), the Linwood commissioners are
the advisability of placing
a traffic officer at the intersection of
that highway and Market street.

Exhibit at Eastern States Exposition
at Springfield, Mass, Find Much Favor

aware tent on the exposition grounds

Delaware boys and girls members of
All clubs who were sent from this
state to the fair. A group of young

not only exhibited at the exposition
but the young club girls in the party
made and sold sweet potato pies
which were the talk of the camp.
Some days more than 500 sweet pota-
to pies were made and sold and then

CARNIvALs BOOST TO FIRENIEN
Fire Fighting Companies Around and
About Smyrna Receive Good Re-
turns for Efforts to Raise Money

turns for Efforts to Raise Money
With the announcement last week
that Townsend Firemen had taken in
$1,000 from their Carnival, fifty per
cent of which will be clear, comes the
announcement that Hartly, the town
SO much in public eye thru its ravages
Of the firebug, had cashed in as gross
receipts $4,000, of which $4,000 will
be clear, to be used in purchasing a
modern fre-fghting apparatus. Pos
sibly no carnival in the state was
more largely attended. Kent County
Comptroller w. H. Poore, of Hartly,
chairman of the committee and presi-
dent of the Hartly Volunteer Fire
Company, was ably assisted by
corps of workers, men and women.
The net proceeds of the annual carni-
val, held at Delaware City, during the
latter part of August and the first
week in September, for the benefit of
the Delaware City Fire Company,
were $2,191.25. The gross receipts
were $6,088.88. Over at Chestertown,
Nd, the gross receipts of the carnival
held by the Volunteer Fire Company
were about $10,600, giving the fire
men net proceeds of $4,000 after the
payment of all obligations. A por-
tion of this money will be diverted to
a permanent sinking fund created last
year, while the remainder will be used
to purchase additional equipment and
to defray small balance on the coun-
tywide fire truck. The officials of the
company have determined to create a
fund somewhat similar to an endow-
ment, the income from which will be
used for the maintenance of the COM
paay, $1,000 from the net proceeds of
last years carnival having been in
vested as nucleus for such a fund.

Freshman class will have to observe

around each "pigtail" Each freshie
was also required to do some "stunt"
before the upper classmen such as
sing a song, dance, whistle, etc. For
some of the girls who happened to be
wearing boyish bobs it was a hard
task to tie up the 80 "pigtails," but
most of them managed it in some way
The freshman caps which this year are
in the shape of baby bonnets with
long green ribbons, were also given
out. These will have to be worn by
