Budget Of News Gathered Here and
There Of NeighborhoOd Interest

Clayton and vicinity was hard hit
BY the storm Of Saturday night and
Sunday. The Clayton-Smyrna con
crete road at the stream a short dis
tance east of Ewell's Church, was un-
der water for time and fears were
entertained for the bridge and en-
bankment but it withstood the onrush
Of waters. Many corn fields were
laid flat and farmers suffered the loss
Of not only corn but tomatoes and
fruit. No material damage was done
In Clayton.
Citizens of Clayton would very
much like to see a concrete road from
the School House, south to the Smyr-
na-Kenton road. Now that this
Smyrna Kenton- Cheswold road has
become y detour for the Boulevard
traffic, Clayton would benefit exceed
ingly BY having a concrete or some
permanently improved road to take
the place of the muddy dirt road now
SO much used.
