MOVES FOR PEACE
 ARE NOTHING NEW
Hoover Is Fourth President to
 Seek End Of Wars

Washington, Oct. o2.-lP)-1s Her bert Hoover, engineer and dispas- sionato analyst of international cause and effect, to be the greatest world peace promoter of his age?
 Is he to bring to realization visions Of noncompctitive armaments that proved only unattainahlc dreams to his edeCessors-tO Woodrow Will son, Warren Harding, Calvin Cool idge?
 Like them, Hoover has made his bid for permanamont peace. It must he a vision especially dear to the heart of America because four presidents in succession have made it almost the major theme of their administrations.
 And, again like Harding and Cool idgo, Hoover has approached his task from the coldly practical side of naval armament limitations despite their failure of complete success.
 Wilson's peace vision was written into the covenant of the League of Nations, designed to be q peace agency of world wide scope and power. It was, even his opponents at home admitted, a noble dream; but it was destined to rcpudiation by his own countrymen.
 Harding first sought inc inter- locking Of the five leading naval powers in a hard and fast treaty of limitation Of naval power. He saw part of his hopes realized in the 5-5-5 treaty: but it served merely to shift the race in naval armaments from battleships to cruisers
 Coolidge took office intent on com pleting the Harding project of limi- tation. He was first baked by insist once among the continental powers Of Europe that the whole question Of limitation of armamcnts by land or sea be handled by League of Ma tions machinery.
 Coolidge aSsentcd to American participation in that effort and de- fcrred his own plans of direct ne gouauons between the naval powers. Ultimately, when he did invite a five power conference, the continental powers, France and Italy, stood aloof.
 Even the restricted threc-power meeting 10 which his hopes dwindIed ended in deadlock; yet the Cool idSc administration was not without its own peace mplishmcnt. IL vas then the Kellogg peace pact was written on American initiative.
 Now President Hoover has renew
New Britain herald., 1929-10-22

ed the drive for direct naval power commitments to lesser battle ton mage maintained in fixed ratios. He has broken the British-American deadlock on cruisers: but can he also sweep aside the fears and suspicious upon the continent that have twice blocked the peace pathway of his predecessors?
 If he can, his name will live long in history as q champion of world peace in something nor" tangible than words.

SLAUGHTER NECK
M. {. CHURCH WAS
DEDICATED SUNDAY
CONTINUED from Page u

Slaughter Neck went out into the
world and prospered, to contribute a
lighting system that will not only il
Illuminate the interior of the church,
but supply light for the grounds sur
rounding the church. A lantern on
a post at night is not sufficient to
locate the church from the highway
when darkness prevails. A nice
Delco System would be wonderfully
acceptable to the congregation for
their new church.
The new church is built of con-
crete blocks and the interior is a
cream and white combination. The
windows are the memorial" win
dows which were removed from the
old church and placed in the new
structure, while the pulpit and altar
rail came from the same place.
The piano and carpets are from
the women and children of the
church.
The subscriptions on Sunday
amounted to about $4,5O0, which pays
for the actual cost of the church;
but there will be needed about $1,500
to erect a fence about the new
church and the old cemetery, and
make planting of shrubbery, flowers
and grade the grounds-not to men
ton a lighting system. The latter
should be from friends who have
gone away, but remember their old
home church and its surroundings.
Many checks from people in the
western country as well as in states
nearer home have been received, and
one man came from New Mexico with
his son for the first time in 26 years,
to take part and help dedicate his
first church home in its new quart
ers-and that man is John Leverage,
of Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The people of Slaughter Neck have
proven that there is pot any falling
away from Christian Afe through the
church, by building this new struc-
ture along modern lines, and paying
for it.

NEW DUAL HIGHWAY
TO BE READY SOON
IContinned from fri paael

er to the new eastern half of the
dual highway. In about ten days the
entire new part of the dual highway
from st. Georges north to State
Road will be thrown open for gen.
eral use.
The new dual highway forms one
of the most unusual long stretches
of road in the country. Both roads
exactly parallel each other, from
the Black Cat south to st. Georges,
like two ribbons laid side by side,
up and down hill, and around cur
yes. The two stretches of concrete
roadway diverge just north of st.
Georges, the old road curving around
to the northwest edge of the town
and leading straight to the bridge.
The new highway leaves the bridge
and goes straight out from it, in
back of the houses. 1t is raised and
causeway has been formed leading
from the bridge to the highway.
C. C. Reynolds, superintendent of
the Delaware State Highway Police,
said that the new stretch of dual
highway was exactly 7.6 miles long.
He added that in spite of the temp
tation to speed on the highway, mo-
torists should refrain from exceed
ing 35 miles an hour as the speed
limit will be strictly enforced.
The new northbound traffic road
is 20 feet wide, and the old road,
eventually to be used only by south
bound traffic, is 18 feet wide. The
construction of the road was started
in May by the construction company
under the direction of e. E. Down
ing, resident engineer, and the gen.
eral supervision of W. W. Mack,
chief engineer of the State Highway
Department.
The State Highway Department is
looking forward to the eventual dup
lication of the present highway
south from st. Georges to Dover,
forming a dual highway from the
present four-way traffic boulevard,
from Wilmington to State Road, to
Dover.

CAPE CHARLES
ROAD COMPLETED

includes a two mile section from the
main route into Parksley and a sim
liar strip from Tasley to Onancock.
Virginia has been eight years IN
building the 81 mile highway, start
ing the project with short section
out of Cape Charles in 1921. Yet the
State has spent far more upon that
highway through Accomac and
Northampton and in the remainder
of the State when comparing the
average expenditure per county.
1t was not until 1921, that Virgin
la took the construction of State
highways seriously. Since then it
has spent $74,000,000 on hard sur
faced roads. If other counties of the
State had gotten proportionate al
lotments with the two shore coun-
ties, the State would have expended
SO, ,1O4, 100000.
Cape Charles is now about two
and a half hours drive from Sails
bury, where formerly it required at
least five hours over rough dirt
roads.
Already Accomac county is pre-
pairing to beautify the highway with
the planting of crepe myrtle trees.
The county supervisors this week
appropriated funds sufficient to
plant two miles.

Mr.. Reimer commended New Cas-
tie County Engineer Charles E.
Grubb who has been made pres1-
dent of the County Road Group of
the American Road Builders Asso-
citation.
He also spoke of the safety prob
lem in connection with the con-
struction of the State highways, ur-
ging that sidewalks be constructed

DIR. A. H. Cleveland, commissioner
of the township of Chadds Ford, Pa,
extended greetings.

The actual survey is divided into
three parts which deal respectively
with the community, the school
buildings and grounds, and the stat
us of safety education. Among the
questions to be studied under the
community heading are: The loca-
ton Of public school buildings with
special reference to particular haz-
ards such as railroad tracks, heavily
travelled roads, etc.; the protection
afforded at intersections near
schools; the provision of adequate
and safe play places; the check-up
on the school bus equipment and
bus drivers; protection afforded
public places in case Of fire or pam
ic.
Under the school buildings and
grounds section such questions as
adequate exits, fire escapes, exit
doors opening outward, regularity
of fire drills and fire extinguishing
equipment, are covered. The final
section dealing with status of safe
ty education of the community will
develop complete information as to
Just what each community center is
doing for safety education.
The National Congress of Parents
and Teachers with which the Della
ware Parent-Teacher Association is
affiliated has expressed great inter-
est in the plan of the survey.

DELAWARE MARSHES
THE MECCA OF BIRDS
Continued from Page u


and reeds that lined the streams
near where the Eleventh Street
bridge in Wilmington has since been
erected. The next trip to this terri
tory, was made in 1886, and the
prime object in view was the study
of the same bird, the long-billed
marsh wren, although many other
things of equal interest were en-
countered, among which was his
first finding of the least bittern. La
ter, the marshes adjacent to New
Castle were invaded with good re-
suits, and while this section may
not be quite as prolific in number
of species as some further to the
east, they are more accessible by
automobile than most of the others.
Perhaps the best place to locate the
rarer birds in the winter season is
in the vicinity of Delaware City, al
ready familiar to many of the men,
bers. Here he has found the rather
scarce Lapland longspurs, shore
larks and snow buntings, the latter
only in mid-winter and the former
usually on the higher ground. Near
that quaint old town, he has also
found the migrant shrike, and the
very interesting and rare ipswich
sparrow, which frequently visits
there in the cold months after its
long journey from the islands in the
st. Lawrence river, where it breeds.
This light colored species was at
first confounded with Baird's spar
row of the west, but has since been
listed as a distinct sub-species of
the Savannah strain. 1t is more apt
to be seen on the sand dunes than
in the marshes and the specimen
exhibited by Mr.. Pennock was taken
near Rehoboth. Near the shore line.
the sharp-tailed, seaside and Hens
lows sparrow may also be identi-
fed, in addition to great number
of gulls, terms and other water birds. |
The marsh lands around Milford,
like many other of these low lands,
were once the head of tide-water,
and these are always prolific in bird |
life, and in centuries gone, were in
vaded annually by thousands of mi
grants, many of which now appear
In reduced numbers. The little blue
heron has been found nesting there,
and the laughing gull is still quite
abundant. If all goes well, the Am
erican egret will soon be breeding
again in this section, as recently, he
saw there, the largest number he
lad ever witnessed outside of Flor
da. Ducks of various kinds are plen-
.iful. Gallinules and coots are fire.
Iueutly seen, the least terms nest
here in numbers, and the purple
yallinule has been found there. The
luck hawk, which nest only in the
mountainous regions, has been kill
ID east Of Odessa; the brown-head-
ID nuthatch, the smallest of its fam
ly, has been found nesting there,
md in general way. The marshes,
md nearby higher grounds have
llways proved a veritable mecca for
he field ornithologist.
