Miss Helen Cook, of fredericksburg,
Badly Injured on BridgevilIe Road

Miss Helen Cook, 9 years old, grad
uate Of fredericksburg, Md, High School
was seriously injured in an auto acci-
dent on the Bridgeville-F fredericksburg
road Saturday night at 11.45 o'clock
when a car in which she was riding
collided with the car of Ray Marvel,
20 years old, of Seaford The Marvel
car had run out of gas and was park
ed on the side of the road when the
car in which Miss Cook was riding
came along. The lights of a car be-
longing to Levin Carey, of Bridgeville
which was stopped in the road along
side the Marvel car, blinded Albert
Condor, driver of the Cook car, caus-
ing him to crash into the Marvel car.
Miss Cook was badly cut by glass
from the broken windshield, some of
the glass entering one of her eyes,
and it is feared she will lose the sight
of the injured member.
In the car with Miss Cook, besides
Condor, were Miss Elizabeth Trice,

SETTLE $4,000 BOND ISSUE
Levy Court Decides to Retire Bond
Outstanding Since 1904

The Levy Court, at their regular
meeting last week, authorized the
payment Of bond for three thousand
dollars which was issued twenty-three
years ago by the Trustees Of the
Poor. The payment of the bond will
Be made on July first. The bond,
which is now held by Mrs. Sarah Hall,
Of Frederica, has only recently come
to the attention Of the county officials.
An investigation revealed that there
was no interest paid on the bond in
1925. The bond is a part Of a loan
made by the Trustees of the Poor in
1904 for making improvements at the
county almshouse. The total amount
Of the loan was eight thousand dollars
and as far as could be learned all the
debt with the exception of this three
thousand dollars had been previously
paid off. The Levy Court had no
knowledge that this bond was out
standing until a few weeks ago when
representatives of Mrs. Hall called it
To their attention with the request
that the bond be renewed at a higher
rate Of interest than the four percent
which the bond called for. The Levy
Court turned the matter over to their
attorney, Charles L. Terry, Jr., for in
vestigation and Mr. Terry found that
the records in the Recorder of Deeds
office showed that the debt had not
been settled. The Levy Court decided
to retire the debt rather than renew
at higher rate of interest. The in
terest charges in full will also be paid
at the same time. During the meet
ing the Levy Court granted permis-
sion to Eastern Shore Gas and Elec-
trio Company to erect electric lines
along the road leading by the Soper
farm between Magnolia and Frederick
and also from Cheswold North along
the railroad tracks to the apple farm.

INSPECTION APPLE PACKAGES
Apple Growers and Shippers of Della
ware Can Get Service From Bureau

You are, no doubt, aware that the
last Legislature passed law pertain
ing to the grading and packing of all
apples in closed packages sold or of
fered for sale in this State. However
for your information, we are here
with inclosing a copy of this law, with
the suggestion that you familiarize
yourself with it before the shipping
season begins. Particular attention
is called to the fact that each closed
package of apples must be marked
with the owners name and address,
the grade, the minimum size or range
of sizes, and the variety, and the
shown surface of the package must
fairly represent the contents, with the
exception of color. In this law, the
State Board of Agriculture is desig-
mated to enforce it, and it is the de-
sire of the State Board of Agriculture
to acquaint every shipper with the
law before the season starts. If you
desire official shipping point inspec-
ton service this year, it is absolutely
essential that you advise us by return
mail. From present indications, ship
ping point inspection work will be
considerably larger than ever before,
and in order to secure the necessary
number of inspectors it is necessary
that we know Immediately the APP
proXimate amount of work to be done.
If you desire this service advise us of
the approximate number of cars you
will have and when you expect to be-
gin shipping. 1t is our desire to furn-
ish this service to all those who de-
sire it; however, l am sure every
grower will realize that it will be inn
possible for US to furnish this service
on fey hours notice without prev
ious arrangement.-W. T. Derickson,

certain details, among other things
decreasing slightly the size Of school
