SNOWb0UND IN NY.
 WHILE AT FUNERAL
M. and Mrs. Fred Andres Home
 After Thrilling Trip

Mir. and Mrs Fred Andres of this city have returned from Malone, W. Y., where they attended the funeral of Mrs. Andres father. They report a thrilling struggle against snow drifts all the way and or snow storms so deep they were unable to return for three days.
 Malone is some distance off the main road and q short distance from the Canadian border. MT, and Mrs. Andres left here al 1 q. m., March l and arrived al 1he.r destination at 5:5Q o'clock the next morning after driving all the way. Almost 200 miles of that distanc" was through snow drifts where Il was possible, to continue only under the greatest difficulty.
 At one place they were mlsdlreCt- cd by a native and were sent onto a side road, flanked on both sides by snow drifts. IL was impossible To turn around and they were com pelled to drive nine miles through narrow road. once they got olt into a ditch and had a hard time getting back onto the road. Twice the car turned around and almost turned over. At the end of nine miles they came to d cabin inhabited by woodsman. Mr, Andres waded waist deep in snow to the cabin, only to learn he was headed in the wrong direction. Driving the car into the woodsman's yard he turned around and went back the nine miles to the main road. Although he drove the IS miles in low gear, there were times when the engine was on the verge Of stalling. Once MT. Andres had to shovel his car out of drift.
 They finally arrived at Malone. Tho enowstorm continued with in- creased fury. On Sunday when the funeral was held, the snow had drifted to a depth which made 1t impossible for a number of people of that section attending the funeral to get back to their homes, and they were marooned at the family resi- dence.
 Mir. and Mrs. Andres were snow bound until Wednesday evening when they started their return journey. They ran into another snowstorm on the way back, and several times thought they would become snowbound again. At places on the road the snow was banked alongside from four to 15 feet deep. They arrived in New Britain yester day about noon after driving for al- most l5 hours

Too Busy to Run for President,
He Tells Mayor

]. s. Alice, still claiming to be
president, secretary, treasurer and

to run for president against Alfred
j.. Smith, yet he feels in duty bound
to do so.
Discussing his quandary during a

this morning Alice said he had
criticized Smith as the cause of the
rent panic in New York in 1921
and promised that he would be a
presidential candidate if Smith ever
attempted to run.
when l ran for governor against
Al Smith, it cost me $40. l had to
have a committee, because from the
offices of all newspapers went out
the word that Mr.. Alice must be
photographed in the act of voting.
and the committee had to arrange
that. Then too. the newspapers
had to have the traditional picture
of me as a candidate standing close
bv a yoke of cxen reminiscent Of his
early days of toll on the farm of his
grandfather in the cool Connecticut
hills, hallowed by his unyielding re-
sistance to King George and his

[. HEIsLER BALL FOR SENATOR
Should dupont Resign, He May Seek
Governors Appointment to Post

Former United States Senator L.
HeisIer Ball may enter the senatorial
race to represent this state again IN
the Senate at Washington, according
to reports. He will likely be a can
didate for the Republican nomination
at the G. 0. P. State convention in Do
yer. Should United States Senator
Coleman dupont resign due to illness,
Senator Ball would seek the governors
appointment in his place, it is said.
The likelihood of Senator Ball being
a candidate for the Republican noni-
nation gives promise of bitter fac
tional battle at the state convention
for the senatorship and probably for
other offices. The candidate who, It
is reputed, the Grantland-Elhson or
ganization will support for the sena-
torship, is John G. Townsend. Of Sus-
sex county. As Senator Ball Is from
New Castle county, the contest for the
senatorship will probably be lodged
principally between these two coun-
ties. Senator Ball, it is said is quiet
IL grooming his forces and will make
his power felt. Developments of the
past wek have given indications of
what may be expected. AS Thomas E.
Peeney, who was secretary to Senator
Ball. was appointed chief deputy coun-
ty treasurer, by County Treasurer
Walter S. Burris, it is believed that
these three politicians already stand
together. According to rumors, there
are a host of others who are in the
group which will support Senator Ball
and oppose the Ellison or
ganization. When the names of per-
sons interested in this group became
known. it will cause a big surprise, it
was stated by one person in a position
to know of its doings.

STATE FORESTRY GETS A BOOST
Senator DUPONT Sells About Fifty
Acres to the Forestry Department
For Nominal Sum-A Gift


At a recent meeting, the State For
estry Commission decided to purchase
an area of forty to fifty acres of wod-
land in Sussex county, owned by Sen
ator Coleman dupont, for the nominal
price of one hundred dollars. This in
reality, was gift to the Forestry De
partment by General dupont, who is
and always has ben one Of tht States
greatest forest enthusiasts. AS con
crete evidence of his interest in for
estry principles, he has reforested
more than three hundred acres Of
abandoned farm land owned by him on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and
the gift Of land in Sussex county is
simply further evidence of his efforts
to provide a means of forestry dem
onstration in Delaware. The tract is
to be used for experimental purposes,
and also as a site IN which will be es-
tabished areas demonstrating the
various methods of managing the cul-
tured forest. The whole area will be
open to public inspection, for in this
way the State Forestry Department

devote part of the area to the pro
duction of forest planting stock for
distribution to land owners in the
State. The State Forestry Commis-
sion highly appreciates this gift and
wishes to go on record as publicly
thanking Mr.. dupont for his cooper
alton and support of forestry in Della
ware from its very beginning. This
tract was purchased some years ago
by Senator DUPONT for $4,000, and
this splendid site to be used for for
estry purposes as stated above was
sold for only 500. 1t is situated be
tween Milford and Glendale, Sussex

try will be strictly enforced.

SMYRNA-C CLAYTON CITIZENS TO
ASK ROAD WOODLAND BEACH
NOW THAT OTHER RESORTS ARE
BEING MADE APPROACHABLE
The Feeling is High that the Concrete
Should be Extended From Wendall's
Corner, East, to the Marsh Road

With a concrete road from the du-
Pont Boulevard to Deemer Beach, an
other concrete road to Delaware Beach
(Augustine Piers), a concrete road
from the Boulevard to Bowers Beach
and now the promise this season of a
concrete road Milford to Slaughter
Beach, what is the matter that a CON
crete road cannot be extended from
WindalPs Corner, east Of Smyrna, to
Woodland Beach. Now that a concrete
road has already been extended east
of Smyrna, part of the distance, the
people of Severson's Neck and upper
Kent and lower New Castle Counties
would like to see the concrete road ex-
tended to atleast Motifs farm or the
marsh road and macadam road over
the marsh. This road has ben agitat-
ed for number of years but why the
State Highway Department does not
do something for Woodland Beach
when other bay resorts are getting or
have gotten consideration, is some
thing the citizens Of the Smyrna, Clay
ton, Kenton vicinities, as well as
Blackbird Hundred, cannot understand.
Woodland Beach is one of the best re
sorts on the Delaware Bay and thous-
ands from this vicinity including
many from a distance, motor there be-
cause of its fine beach and shade
trees. Milford citizens are boosting a
road to Slaughter Beach out Of this
years appropriation and already a
committee from Milford has conferred
with the State Highway Commission,
urging the commission to finish con-
crete road from that town to said
Slaughter Beach The committee was
assured that the road in question will
be built. The project has been placed
upon the recommended list ard will
probably be constructed this year. The
present road to Slaughter Beach Is
concrete as far as Argo, it being q
part of the Milford Rehoboth boule-
ward. It will only be necessary to
build the improved road from Argo to
the beach, a dista ice of about three
miles. The citizens of Smyrna and
CLAYTON and Severson Neck who have
long agitated the Woodland Beach
Road need to get busy like Milford, if
they want anything done. The con
crete road already runs from Smyrna
to Windall's Corner and the short dis
tance from there to Motifs Corner is a
matter of little effort to give hard
road to the marsh. Then over the
marsh road to Woodland, citizens
would be just as satisfied with maca-
dam or less expensive hard surfaced
road. It's an important thoroughfare
and should receive consideration.
