and won an easy victory.
Elk Mills took the lead in the
first inning with one run but when

a home run, with one on, in the

WATER CONTAMINATION Az
FECTs DELAWARE OYs-
TER BEDS

More contamination OF waters
flowing over oyster beds over which
Delaware has Jurisdiction is shown
in tests made within the last month
at the laboratory of the Delaware
State Board of Health. The samples
of water were collected by Federal
inspectors accompanied by r. c.
Beckett. In this way there was a
double check on the samples, and ac-
cording to reports from Washington,
the state analysis corresponds in
every particular with the tests made
by Government chemists.
Last year the United States Public
Health Service placed ban on the
shipment of oysters out of Delaware,
due to the pollution of the waters
flowing over the oyster beds. What
decision the Government health in
spectors will reach as the result OF
this recent survey, is awaited with
much concern by the oyster packers.
1t is expected that another survey
of the Delaware oyster beds will be
made in order to double check condi-
tions.
1t is not expected that there will
be any relief from the contamination
of the water until towns and cities in
lower Delaware, whose sewage flows
into these streams arrange to dispose
of wastes through sewage disposal
plants.

RISING SUN SCHOOL NEWS

On Friday afternoon our teams
journeyed to Elkton and played two
hard fought games with the strong
Elkton teams. The girls seemed to
be. suffering under a case of stage
fright, the first half of their field
ball game, and Elkton scored six
points on them. In the second half
however, the Rising Sun girls scored
as many points as Elkton. The final
score of the game was 1914.
In the soccer game the boys went
down to defeat at the hands of Elk
ton by the score of ga. This game
was hard fought, clean, and interest
ing throughout. Our games will be
started earlier hereafter, so that the
children taking part in them will be
able to get home earlier in the eve
ming. On Friday afternoon we go to
North East and play two more hard
games.
The High School had an attend
ance percentage if 93 for the first
month. This is very good percent
age, considering the number of
children who are required to stay at
home and work ON the farm. We
urge parents to be considerate OF
the teachers in regard to this matter
of staying home to work. We real
ize that the parent on the farm needs
his boy at home, this time Of the
year, but it is very difficult for the
pupil who practically attends no
school the first month or two. The
teachers do everything in their
power to help the absent pupil make
the work. but nevertheless absence
is a very serious handicap to the
pupil.
