served as county engineer of SUSSEX
county for the first six months O.
1917 when he resigned on July l
that year, to become chief engineer
of the Delaware State Highway De
partment which position he held fol
several years. Later he became chic
engineer of the North Carolina High.
way Department, consulting engi.
neer for the Republic of Mexico and
president of the American Road
Builders Association.
In opening his remarks: Mr.. Up
ham stated he was glad to get back
into Delaware where he prizes the
friendship of his large circle OF
friends so highly. The happiest days
of his engineering career were spent
in Sussex county, he stated, when he
was the county engineer. Mr.. Up
ham recalled the big problems which
faced him as the engineer of Sussex
when he assumed his duties on Jan
uary 16, 1917. At that time there
were no stretches of improved high
way in this county, and but one lit
tie stretch of hard surface road in
the State, near Smyrna. Gust pic
ture in your mind" he said, what
has transpired within the past ten
years." One of his first experiments
in lower Delaware, he related, was
the placing of a block of sand as
phalt street in Georgetown, from the
Farmers Bank to Pine street, back
in 1912. Mention was made of the
program for improving the highways
started eleven years ago. 1t was in
1917 that the engineering forces
were brought together, thus paving
the way for the present highway
system.
He related an incident where sew
eral prominent men interested in an
improved road system for lower
Delaware met in his office in the
courthouse at Georgetown in the
early part of 1917 and talked about
a bond issue for hard surface roads.
Later a meeting was held in Laurel
where the general idea was that the
first issue should be S250,000. Final
ly the meeting went on record, he
said, favoring a $1,000,000 bond is
sue. Meetings were held in other
towns throughout Sussex county and
the people everywhere put them
selves in favor of bonding. 1t was en-
acted by the legislature and Della
wares road building program start
ed and has been continued since that
time until it has the finest system of
concrete highways in the United
States.
Mr.. Upham stated that nowhere
can as complete net work of con-
crete roads be found as in this state.
One of the problems now facing the
authorities of the State, he added, is
that of taking care of the secondary
roads, and working out the low costs
of constructing and maintaining
such roads. The County Highway
Officials Association of this state
will, through cooperation with the
Road Builders Associa-
ton, be able to get data and help in
solving the problems. The organiza-
ton just formed will become men,
Der of one of the divisions Of the
American Road Builders Associa-
ton. Mr.. Upham stated that it was
the purpose of his Office to organize
the 1910 counties in the United
States into one effective, working
organization which will be instru-
mental in giving assistance and SOL
wing the road problems throughout
the country.
Cooperation, he stated, will bring
about the desired results.
Members of the Georgetown New
Century Club served luncheon TO the
state officials and guests.

CITY COURT GIVES
 FOUR JUDGMENTS
Jadet Rocbe Hands Down Find.
 inBs n Civil Suits

Tho following judgments were rendered in city court late yesterday afternoon by Judge Henry P. Roche:
 In the action of Philip Macaroni against. Joseph Zuk in which the plaintiff sued for work done in pias- tering a house. judgment was rem dered for the plaintiff to recover $73.l0. The plaintiff and John Yo- hancn worked for the defendant un- der impression that he would pay them for it. and the defendant did not deny this fact. S. Gerard Casaie represented tn plaintiff.
 Judgment for the defendant to recover costs was rendered in the injunction action brought by Adolph Paskowski against John Dwyer. in which the plaintiff sought an injunc- tion restraining the defendant from interfering in any way in plaintiffs ownership of land on Beaver street, where. he alleged. the defendant put up fence on his property. In this action the court found that in view of the physical appearance of the land and the fact that the present fence has been on the premises for the past 25 years, the plaintiff failed to prove any interest in the strip oi land in question by fair preponder- ance of the evidence. The firm of Hungerford & Sake represented the defendant.
 In the suit of Santo Triglio against James Perretta, where the plaintiff claimed damages Of $l.100 by virtu. of a promissory note payable six months after date. the court render ed judgment for the plaintiff to re- cover payment. In deciding the case Judge Roche found that the defend- ant claimed that the plaintiff prac- ticed usury, but in view of the fact that no interest was charged. the charge was found unlikely. Joseph G. Woods represented the plaintiff.
 A judgment for the plaintiff by default was rendered in the action of John A. Andrews Co.,. against John Kravitz, to recover $75s,95 and costs.

GIRL MAKES ALBUM
 ON HOOVER'S RACE
Janice Clark, fl, to ForIard
 Book to Her FaYorite

! A scrap book containing several hundred photographs. cartoons. and utterances of her idol, Herbert Hoover, has been compiled by Janice Clark. II, of 54 Garden street. and will be sent by her to the republi- can presidential nominee. Janice. the daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Earl H. Clark. is one of the youngest and most enthusiastic Hoover boosters in the country and has followed the campaign with great attention. both in the news papers and over the radio. She is the type which goes whole -heartedly ties with all her energies. and SO strongly is she for Hoover. that. whenever she hears Governor Smith or one of his supporters suggest that the democratic candidate will be successful, she actually weeps from sheer anger.
 Janice first began to collect clip pings relating to Hoover for her own personal satisfaction. Then one day she learned of small boy who had written a letter to Governor Smith and had received 8 personal letter from him in reply. She then conceiv- ed the idea of forwarding her book to Hoover in the hope that she might profit similarly.
 The book is cleverly and exhaust lively compiled, especially so since she refused any help or suggestions from her parents. Several pictures of the nominee and one of his wife grace the front cover of the scrap book, while the contents include a copy of John McNab's speech nomin- ating Hoover. a picture of Hoover making his acceptance speech photos of Hoover in company with many noted friends. against numer. ous backgrounds. with his pets, and in multitudinous other settings. To each of these the youthful supporter has appended. in her own handwrit- ing, reasons for voting for her hero which might be derived from the picture in question.
 I AhclS dISO huulClVuo pIO- Hoover cartoons and the pictorial life of Hoover drawn by Satterfeld. Every pamphlet which contains a Hoover speech and which she could secure has been included in its en- tirety. there being more than a dozen of these. In addition there are scores of clippings. largely from the New Britain Herald. dealing with Hoover's campaign activities and with the verbatim endorsements of him by many prominent Americans
 The book is now complete and is being sent to Hoover at his Palo Alto. Cal, home. Janice will await a reply with great interest and antici- patton.
 Janice Is sports fan and is just as enthusiastic about athletics as politics. She and her parents follow- ed the Boys club basketball team about the state last winter. and her roofing 70 won the hearts of the players that she received a special invitation to their banquet at the end of the season. She also followed the Industrial baseball league with ardent interest.

New York, Oct. 30 LF-Declaring that the old negative and prohibi- tive" attitude of the church to the theater is changing. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick, pastor of the Park Avenue Baptist church. last night told 1000 persons who attended the annual dinner of the Church and Drama association that the theater is one of the great spiritual influ- ences of civilization.
 If the church is to keep abreast of modern thought and ideas 1t must interest itself in drama" Dr. Fosdick said. Tho speaker said the day has passed when the church was the only center Of community life and that church men must understand this and realize that millions of per- sons daily get new ideas from mo- tion pictures and the spoken drama.
