Citizens Want Additional Land Ad-
joining Proposed Building for Grounds
Plans for the construction of the
new high school building, on West
Market street, to cost 100000, have
been approved and work on the struc-
ture will be started, it is believed,
around the first Of the year and rush
ed to completion so that the building
will be in readiness for the opening of
the Fall and Winter term of 1929.
The plot of land which was purchased
several years ago by the School Aux
iliary of the State, will be the site Of
the new structure. Although no de-
cision has been reached, it is stated, as
to the location of the building on the
site, citizens there will endeavor to
have school officials change the plans
somewhat by having the building
moved back from the highway so as
to allow a court in front. At the same
time they are going to try to induce
school officials to purchase sufficient
additional land so as to make an
athletic field where field meets, base
ball and football games may be held.
Plans to be submitted to school offic-
ials have been prepared and the mat
ter already has been placed before the

breaches AT OWN FUNERAL
PhOnOgraph Record Made Months Ago
Used at Services For Minister


From a photograph record made
several months ago, the voice of Rev.
G. L. ("Golightly') Morrill, of San
Diego, California, was heard preach
ing his own funeral sermon. Rev.
Morrill,, who died recently, after a
short illness, not only dictated this
sermon but also recorded on another
record a religious song of which he
was fond. This record also was play
ed as his widow, his son and his sons
wife sat at the private service. Gre
nation followed the service. The Rev.
Mr.. Morrill, several years ago found
ed an Unorthodox Peoples Church at
Minneapolis. He was ordained Bap-
tist minister after his graduation
from the University Of Chicago. He
went to California several months ago
and had written many articles for To-
cal newspapers. One of his last min
isterial acts was to wed a couple par
ticipating in a dance marathon rec
emily. 1t is said that one of his last
requests was that his phonograph ser
mon and song be reproduced at his
funeral.

WARN ABOUT CUTTING HOLLY
State Forestry Department Received
Numerous Complaints in Sussex

Numerous Complaints in Sussex
The State Forestry Department has
been receiving numerous complaints
from woodland owners, notably IN
Sussex County, about the promiscuous
cutting and breaking Of holly trees IN
their woodland by persons who appar-
emily fail to appreciate the fact that
the act constitutes theft pure and
simple. State Forester, W. 5. Iaber,
feels that it is not too late to call at
tention to the fact that Delaware has
a very severe law which deals with
this sort of vandalism. Whether or
not the persons who commit these
acts are aware that it is unlawful,
does not excuse them in the eyes Of
the Law. Although it is probably not
generally known, the holly tree IS the
source of one of Delaware's largest
incomes from the sale Of forest pro
ducts. 1t takes many years for the
tree to recover from a severe cutting
Careful methods of harvesting this
Delaware forest product will prolong
the time when our holly trees will be-
come scarce, and in doing SO the State
will keep for itself position in the
front ranks of those states which pro-
duce large quantities of this Yuletide
decoration.

luxury-it is a necessity, and much Of

Across the North Pole.
(Dubuque. ia.. Tribune ]

Dubuque, ia., rrbune)
 Another conquest of the North polar regions recorded April 21, when Captain c. H. Vii kins announced in the Copenhagen Politiken the safe arrival at Sptzbergen of himself and Carl Eielson, his Alaskan pilot, completing the first arplane flight across the North Pole via Point Barrow, Alaska. They, like the transatlantic fiers, had to make a forced landing on an islet only 25 miles from the goal, and were detained for five days. On their way back from Polht Barrow, Alaska, they landed near the Spitzbergen radio station, jump of 2,200 miles, which they made in 201a hours on 37o gallons Of gasoline
 Capt. Wilkins, Arctic explorer made thls 'incomparable flight" to use the words of Roald Amundsen. to determine whether there was any undiscovered land between Alaska and Sptz- bergen. He has smashed five planes in previous attempts, these dating back to 1925. The small monoplane a Vega with a Wright whirlwind motor weighs 1850 pounds, goes 135 miles an hour and the load carried weighed as much as the plane. Green Harbor, Spitzbergen, where they landed April 21, is about 375 miles from Norway
 The Wilkins flight sponsored by the Ma tional Geographic Society of the U s. and fnancied by funds raised in Detroit-just as his CWilkins) earlier exploits had been financed by Detroit funds Explorer Stefansson points out that this hight-the first airplane journey from America to Europe the polar area-was over a course that will shorten by hundreds of miles the distance between continents He depicts the North Pole as the crossroads of the world when air caravans of the future will meet In tne1r journeys rom continent to coHtihehI' Di Isiah Bowman, Director of the American Geo graphical Society says that the Wilkins flight lends the age of discovery begun by Columbus for mankind has searched the entire globe
 Capt Wilkins is an Australian He was offered the job of Air Minister, but preferred explorers work. He covered the Balkan War as a newspaperman, aviator in the World War and accompanied Shaekleton on his An taretic expedition, which cost Shackleton's life. After his previous failures to cross the North II)oIa H.; iIadn not tn ta11 his flight until after he succeeded. When he finally did it in the shortest possible terms He probably sent the message himself, because the regular radio operator at the Spitz- bergen station had been killed in accident la few days before Wilkins arrival
 This was the fourth expedition to see the North Pole, but the first to fly across it in a heavier than air machine Admiral Robert D. Peary discovered the Pole in 1909. In May, 1926 Commander Richard E. Byrd flew to the Pole from Kings Bay, Spitzbergen and return. The time for the nonstop flight was 16 hours. few days later the dirigibe Norge carrying the Amundsen- Ellsworth Mobile expedition, flew from Spizbergen to Alaska the North Pole.
