Those who witnessed the affair
were unanimous in the belief that
everyone came away from the meet
ing much improved and more en-
lightened by the presentation or
acknowledged facts by both sides.
Certainly the people of this dommun
ity. irrespective of color, should ap-
preciate the effort made, which
effort was primarily to the interest
of the white people, although they
did not seem to know it.
The Baptist Ministers Conference
Of Richmond and Vicinity took a
keen interest in the affair and sent
a committee to oppose the enactment
Of the ordinance to force colored
people to live only in block where
the majority of residents are colored
people. 9: a."
In choosing Rev. w. l.. Ransome
D. D., of the First Baptist Church
of South Richmond as spokesman

Will at, ease throughout produced
such convincing argument that even
his opposers felt the effect. He was
as powerful and as forceful as the
gladiators were in the Roman arena.
M. A. Norrell and ]. r. Pollard
made no mistakes in their presenta-
ton Of the facts from their view
point, while William A. Jordan, the
statistic an and economist, during
the closing hours suggested SUBJ
stitute for the ordinance with, a
view of dissipating the friction. He
proposed that additional land be
purchased adjacent to or within the
boundaries of the city where mod
ern improvements would be avail
able for colored people, who must
have somewhere here to live.
His portrayal of conditions at
douglass Court, the amount OF
money expended by the colored
company, the expenditure there al
ready of 5000, 900, brought the blush
of shame to the cheeks Of some OF
the white people present, who real,
lied and knew that Jordan and his
assoc 'ates bad kept every promise he
had made to the Richmond civic
authorities and they had violated or
failed to keep well-nigh every pledge
that they had made to them. :.
When Mr.. Funston agreed to the
reference of the whole matter to a
special committee to be composed OF
10th white and colored citizens, the
effect was evident and the result
electrical from one end of the spa
cious council chamber to the other.
All who spoke, did well, and the
information given and facts dis
cussed were CT a kind and character
that no speaker encroached upon the
yiewpo mt of the other.
The leaders Of this segregation
ordinance did not so intend it to be,
but the result has been that it aas
cemented the union between the
black and white citizens of this com
munity. They are together in
greater or lesser extent in business
and this Will lead ultimately TO an
extensive union in economic and
political interests as we'll. So be it.

Parents Gradually Having Defects
In Children Corrected

More than $4,000 children com.
prising infants and those of pre-
school age were examined by the
three county health units of the
State Board of Health during the
months of August and September
according to statistics made public
this week at the Office of the State

denominations. Conferences con-
Quoted by physicians totaled 102 and
those by nurses 105.
The number of cases seen of all
ages at centers were 6,152 and 6,186

terest shown by parents in having
defects corrected. There were 268
children, who have had either faulty
tonsils, poor eyesight and hearing,
bad teeth, or respiratory ailments
corrected. They were 225 in Will

The number of cases referred
were 597 with 527 in Wilmington, Al
in rural New Castle, 10 in Kent

WILL BROADCAST NEWS
OF NATIONAL ELECTION
Net Work OF Stations Will Give
Returns From States And Nation

Election results, national, State
and local, will be covered" by ma
tion-wide network of the National
Broadcasting Company and associat-
ed stations, it was announced this
week.
An elaborate plan of radio report
ing has been arranged. Results of
the presidential and congressional
elections will be broadcast from the
NBC studios in New York. This pro-
gram will, however, be occasionally
interrupted for announcement of re-
suits of State, county and municipal
election news, from each of the var
ious stations.
The national election news will be
furnished to the radio audience
through the courtesy of The Asso-
ciated Press, the United Press Asso-
citation and the International News
Service.
A large staff of political experts,
experienced in compiling, colating
and presenting election results, will
be in charge of news dissemination
by the National Broadcasting Com
pany.
The program will be interspersed
with a gala presentation of music
and other entertainment by popular
artists, with Graham McNamee as
master of ceremonies.
Reporting of the election returns
is expected to begin at o'clock
Eastern Standard Time. 1t will con-
tinue until final results of all the
political races have been
determined.
Through the coast-to-oast network
of stations associated in the election
night broadcast, it is expected that
every important election
result in the country will be made
known to those interested. 1t is
probable that a plan may be arrang-
ed so that each of the stations will
undertake to cover definite areas in
it's vicinity. Such matter will be
broadcast in the intervals during
which the chain program is inter-
'upted.

BILLY SUNDAY WILL
Be HERE this MORNING
Nationally Known Evangelist Will
Address Audience 10 The Plaza
Theatre At 1890 O'Clock.

Billy Sunday, internationally
known evangelist, will be in Milford
this Friday morning to address an
audience. The meeting will be held
in the Plaza Theatre at 10:3O o.
clock, and Immediately following the
meeting Mr. Sunday will leave for
Norfolk, Virginia, where he is
scheduled to talk this evening. Billy
Sunday comes to Milford to bring
his message, at the invitation of the
churches of the town. He spoke in
Wilmington last night and Milford
was selected for his other speaking
place in Delaware so that his trip
to the southern city might be brok-
en-. While the arrangements for the
meeting this morning were not COM
pleted until Wednesday, and very
little publicity has been given to the
affair it is believed that the Plaza
Theatre will be packed by those who

RECORD BREAKING
REGISTRATION In STATE
Problem Faces Election Officers To
Vote All Eligible On Election Day

Last Saturday was the final regis
tration day to qualify to vote at the
elections on November 9Th. Every
election district in the State reports
a heavy increase in the registered
voters who may vote at that time.
In Sussex county approximately
twenty-five per cent increase in the
registration is noted and in Kent
county the same ratio applies. In
Wilmington the registration has in
creased to such an extent that all
records have been broken. In the
First Election District of the First
Representative District of Sussex
County. which is in South Milford, a
total of 1901 names have been put
On the lists. The highest reglstra-
ton in this district in the past has
been about 1900. At Georgetown
1860 voters are registered in the
Ninth Representative District. THESE
two districts are the largest election
districts in the State, in fact they
are too large TO handle properly.
To vote all the eligible voters 1t Will
be necessary to vote about four a
minute all day long. Both party
leaders are claiming an advantage IN
the record registration.

PLAN $125,OOO SEWER
SYSTEM In HARRINGTON
Town May Issue Bonds Next Year
To Install This Needed Improvement

Storm sewers and sanitary sewers
for the town of Harrington will cost
approximately $125,O00, an official
report made to the town officials by
R. c. Beckett, sanitary engineer of
the State Board of Health, shows.
Harrington officials are considering
asking the General Assembly to per-
nit issuance of bonds to cover cost
of the work. In commenting on the
situation Mr.. Backett said:
Probably a good many people in
Harrington endorse the general idea
of sewers, but are doubtful of the
method to be used in sewering such
a fiat area as Harrington. In any
discussion of sewers only sanitary
sewers are to be considered. These
take care of all household wastes of
all description, but do not include
any storm water or roof drainage.
The storm water can be handled
separately by storm sewers dis
charging into nearby streams or
bitches.
Harrington is rather flat with a
hump running through Fast Boule-
ward avenue. However, by careful
choice of grades it is possible to
sewer all sections of Harrington
and to bring the sewage by gravity
to a central spot where the sewage

Radio From "City OF New York;
Crew Says Everything Is Fine

DR.. G. Layton Grier, president OF
the L. D. Caulk Company, just re-
ceived the following radiogram from
Commander Byrd's ship "The City of
New York" enroute to the Antartic.
1t reads Greetings from South Pa

molars, thanks to you and your able
assistants, are still grinding, causing
fearful destruction to our store of
provisions. The whole gang from the
bark City of New York deeply aprre-
ciate your wonderful work and send

This message was broadcast from
Byrd's ship at sea and first picked
up by an amateur, Edward NJ. Glas-
er, 845 East 18th Street, Brooklyn,
N. Y, who forwarded it to DR.. Grier
through the courtesy Of the Amer
lean Radio Relay League.
1t will be recalled that the mouth
and teeth of every member of the

in the best possible condition at a
clinic opened in New York by the

Bureau of Markets of the State

summer has been disastrous to many

It resulted in an epidemic of what is
known as "black head" The turkeys
that have survived are in splendid
condition.
The weather between now and
Thanksgiving time is most i'm

MILFORD MEN HURT IN
AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT
Automobile Badly Damaged When 1t
SkidS Into Truck During Rain Storm

A party of Milford men narrowly
escaped serious injury on Tuesday
evening when the automobile in
which they were riding on the du
POnt Boulevard, skidded and crash
ed into a truck. The men in the
party were Alfred E. Archer, Cles-
son E. Bridgham, George H. Bay
mum, Mark L. Davis and Joseph
Gray Davis, all of Milford. They left
Milford shortly after seven O'Clock
Tuesday evening to go to George
town where they were to attend a
meeting of the Sussex County Re-
publican Committee. When near the
Del-Mar-Va Nurseries Joseph Gray
Davis, who was driving, saw a truck
ahead of him which in the rain he
believed was driving south on the
highway. At the same time a car
approaching from the south blinded
him. When almost on the truck, he
realized that it had been stopped.
In attempting to drive around it his
car skidded and the rear of the car
crashed into the truck. 1t was badly
wrecked. The occupants were
thrown about. Mr.. Archer was bad
ly cut about the head and Mr.. Bridg-
ham was hurt about the chest. The
other occupants escaped with slight
bruises. They we're all brought to
the Marshall Hospital in Milford
where they were given treatment.
Joseph Gray Davis is a candidate for
Prothonotary on the Republican tic
ket this year.
