OMara testified that he investigated an accident in front of All Myrtle street on the afternoon of May 8 and learned that Yuchniewicz was driving west at the approximate rate of 10 or 15 miles on hour when a boy named Daddario ran into 'Ee street from the south towards the north side of the street and was struck. He sustained a fracture of the leg and an injury to the head but is recovering at New Britain General hospital.
 After Yuchniewicz reported the accident at police headquarters, the

sergeant tested the brakes and found the emergency brake in good condt- ton but the foot brake was ussless. Yuchniewicz had nothing to say ex- cept that the boy was pushed against his car by a playmate but Judge Sake told him he might have been able to avoid striking him had his brakes been in proper condition.
 Russell NJ. North, 25. of East Berlin. was fined s5 and costs on the same charge. to which hel pleaded guilty. Officer Edward Car. roll testified that he arrested North about 7:45 last night after noticing that the driver pulled up his emer- gency brake at the traffic light at the South church. corner.

BARN AND STABLE BURNED
Lightning Causes $500 Loss on
Farm Near Odessa on Tuesday

The large barn and stable on the
farm of the late Harry A. Perkins

The farm was tenanted by Victor

several farm implements, one calf
and large quantity of harness,
valued at over $500, on which
there was no insurance. The loss
on the buildings, which were insur-
ed, totalled $4,000. Both the Odes-
sa and Middletown fire companies
responded to the alarm and sue
ceeded in confining the fire to the

ering embers. Mrs. Joseph served

liant efforts. Fortunately Mr..
Joseph's live stock was in the field
at the time of the fire and was
saved.

ber. Johnson's car ran head-on
into Stevens car, which was trav-
cling south. Mr.. Stevens and his

A negro answering the descrip-
tion of Richard Ford, who is want
ed at Delmar for Staying Dallas M.
Ellis, was arrested at Brenford and

al men who knew Ford well were

ing the man, identified him and he

RANK SAFE BAFFLE THIEVES
Attempt TO Rob Citizens Bank at
HurIock, Md, Last Week. Fails

Bank and police officials are
without a clue that would aid the
investigation of the attempted rob
berry of the Citizens Bank of Hur-
lock, Md, early Thursday. "We
have not the slightest idea who did
it." Marion c. Smith, cashier Of
the institution, declared. The at
tempted robbery was discovered by
Smith as he encered the bank at
7.30 the next morning. Two big
holes had been drilled in the door
of the banks vault in a vain effort
by the would-be robbers to gain
access to $50, 900 ir cash that had
been placed there at the close of
business, Thursday. No other pap
ers, files or furniture in the bank
ing room had ben disturbed. Smith
said. Edgar II. Simmons, presi-
dent of the bank. has asked aid of
Baltimore city finger print experts
in the investigation. Entry to the
room had been obtained
through a side window under glare
of a traffic and street light. Pub
lie view of this window is unob-
structed, the bank being located at
a street corner in the center of the
town. Smith said he believed the
entry had been made after 1 a. m.

REGIONAL PLANNING BOARD
Governor Buck Names Commission
to Look After DeIaware's Interest

Announcement of the appoint
ment by Governor c.. D. Buck of a
Regional Planning Commission for
the State of Delaware was made
last week by County Engineer c.
e. Grubb, in his offices in the
County Building at Wilmington.
This commission was made possi-
BILE by a special act Of the recent
Legislature. Members of the COM
mission are William Coyne, chair
man; Frank G. Tallman, City En-
gineer Harry A Maier, Superin-
tendent of Parks Edward r. Mack
and Mr.. Grubb, secretary. The
purpose of the Regional Planning
Commission is, through careful
study and consideration, to look
into the future of the section adj
jacent to Wilmington and prepare
plans to bring about the develop
ment of territory to best serve the
interests of the people. The great
est purpose of the commission will
be to coordinate the systems of
through and bypass highways and
to plan and recommend new sys-
TENS of travel that will care for
the future needs Mr.. Grubb, in
speaking Of the Regional Plan
ming Commission stressed the val
ue of the new organization, and
said that the appointment of the
commission by the Governor was
one of the greatest steps forward
ever taken by the State of Della
ware, ION account of the rapidly
increasing use of public highways,
and because of the strategic loca-
ton of Wilmington and State of
Delaware on the Atlantic sea-
board"

1000 CARS PEACHES SHIPPED
Season Output in Delaware Shows
Tendency to "Come Back" i'm
This Fruit-Apples Shipped

According to figures compiled
by w. T. Derrickson, director of
the Bureau of Markets of Della
ware, a total of 470 cars of peach
es were shipped from Delaware
this year. Mr.. Derrickson is of
the opinion that the total truck
shipment of peaches was almost
equal to the shipments by rail.
This would make the total ship
ments nearly 1000 cars. The ship
ments this year present quite a
contrast with the total shipments
of last year when only twenty-five
cars were shipped over the railroad
and a considerably smaller quanti-
ty by truck. The cooler weather
of the past several days is expect
ed to improve the prices being re-
ceived for grapes in the opinion of
both growers and the commission
merchants. According to Director
Derrickson, national survey re-
veals that there is a shortage in
the crop that will total about
twenty-four per cent for the entire
country. Some growers are rely
ing on this shortage to increase
the demand for Delaware's crop
and keep the price high. Reports
from the Bureau Of Markets shows
that some fall apples are being
started to the city markets. The
general crop of fall apples in Della
ware will be short and the antici-
patton is that growers will place
a large portion of their crop in
storage for sale during the winter
months. Last week Delaware ap-
pies started across the Atlantic
ocean, bound for Liverpool Eng
land. Nothing but led skinned
fruit was sent, because the Eng
lish people have an aversion to eat
ing green skinned apples and de-
mand red skinned ones. The price
obtained by Delaware orchardists
was satisfactory one. Many of
them sold f. 0. b., at from $3.50
to $3.50 a barrel. There are three
bushels in barrel, and at these
prices there is fair profit to the
grower. All Of the shipments were
government inspected and the
fruit was of u. S. No. / quality
This assures the consignee the best
kind of fruit Just as last year, if
the market falls off later this fall,
there will be hundreds of barrels
placed in storage to await a more
favorable market. The growers
dislike this because then their fruit
must compete during the winter
with apples from every apple
growing state. There is no diff
Guilty about storing the apples, but
there is the charge of 80 cents
bushel to be met.
