FORMER LEWES RECTOR
DIES In FLORIDA
[Continusd from First Page]

by the Indians, in 1851.
Charles Henry Black Turner was
born in New Castle, Delaware, a de-
scendent of the first provincial
Dutch Governor Jacquet. He was
educated in Pennsylvania at one of
the Lutheran colleges, intending to
enter the Lutheran ministry. He
was ordained priest in 1884 by
Bishop Young of Florida. He took
duty first in Florida, then in Color
ado, Texas, Alabama, and Tennes-
see. He was twice rector of st. Pc
ter's Church in Lewes 1901 to 1913
and 1917 to 1928. During this per-
iod he held in the Diocese of Della
ware by election, membership in the
Standing Committee and by ap-
pointment he was examining chap
lain and archdeacon. He was
member of the Holland Society of
New York, the Hugenot Society of
New York, the Hugenot Society of
Charleston, S. c., and member of
other societies connected with his
torical interest. The University of
the South conferred upon him his
first doctors degree and the second
was from Hobart College, Geneva,
N. Y. A memorial service will be ar
ranged by his parish at Lewes.
DR.. Turner's portrait hangs in
the sacristy of St. Peters Church.
1t was executed by Cleveland Coke,
a son of Bishop Arthur Cleveland
Coke, of western New York, descen-
dant of Aaron Cleveland, a former
rector of St. Peters Church.
The Dutch government in 1909
presented DR.. Turner with a letter,
a picture of Queen Wilhelmina, and
a large carved replica of the Arms
of Hoorn, in commemoration of the
three hundredth anniversary of the
entrance of Henry Hudson, then in |
Dutch employ, into Delaware Bag
off Lewes. Rudson sailed from Texel .
and some of his crew and the vic
Tins of the massacre in 1881 were .
from Hoorn, and Hoorn was the
first name by which Lewes was
known. These relics together with
a door battered in the British bonn
bardment of Lewes in 1913, which
DR.. Turner secured, are kept in the
large sacristy which was built at
DR.. Turner's instance.

MAY BUILD DUAL ROAD
DOWN TO ODESSA
Extension OF System Plan OF State
Highway Department For Next Year

Continuation of the dual highwa!
from st Georges to Odessa is one O.
the most important activities plan
ned by the State Highway Commits
sion for 1880, according to an an
nouncement made this week. Sur
veys are going forward with the
view of extending the route from
St. Georges to Odessa and for which
data will he ready for the consider.
alton of tie commission early next
year.
That the dual highway from Stale
Road 10 St Georges has been a de-
cided sue cess is. the opinion Of w
w. Mack, chief enginae.' of tie
Highway Department. Fhe dual
highway has not been in service a
year, but the results in safer driv-
ing conditions and speeding up traf-
fic convinced Mr.. Mack that a dual
highway is a decided improvement
over a fOur-cOurse road such as eX-
lists between Wilmington and State
Road.
1t is expected that in time the
Highway Commission will continue
this dual route as far as Dover. The
fact that the bridge crossing the
Chesapeake and Delaware canal at
st. Georges makes a bottle neck for
traffic is not considered any serious
handicap, say officials.
One of the outstanding features of
the rOadwOrk this year has been
the attempt of the State highway
engineers to eliminate as much as
possible road cracks and buckling.
Engineer Mack believes that
through frequent separations in the
concrete, allowing it to expand in
warm weather, will to a certain de-
gree, do away with the buckling
and cracks.
All engineers. including Governor
Buck, it is stated, do not concur in
this, so that the road work this year
has been much in the line of an ex-
pertinent looking for solution to the
problem of buckling and cracking
concrete Most of the states engaged
in road work, however, it is stated,
make room for this expansion of the
concrete in warm weather.
So far this year the Highway De-
partment has supervised construc-
tion of 80 miles of road and widen
ing operations. Forty-eight miles
have been new road, 18 miles, four
foot widening operations, and 12
miles of Stag and gravel roads. 1t
has not been possible to Go much
with the lateral dirt roads because
of the dry weather, which made
road work of this character almost
Mr.. Mack states that despite the
numbers of cars, travel
on Delaware highways has not
shown a normal increase this year.
Some states, including Virginia, will
show a falling off, of about 10 per
cent in the amount of gasoline tax
collected. Others will be satisfied if
they come up to last years volume.
Delaware, however, will show an in
crease of about Is per cent over last
year.
Mr.. Mack attended a meeting of
The International Road Congress
held in Washington last week. Road
builders from sixty different coun-
.ries in the world attended this con-
terence, which was divided among
Jour speaking sections, English, |
German, French and Spanish.

BOWERS BEACH

Last Sunday was one of those
days that watermen of Bowers
Beach term high water" Sundays
1t was a beautiful day indeed, and
many casual visitors drove down to
the shore and about noon were
able to get fine view of the rolling
waters of the Delaware Bay, as
! well as the rapid running tide by
the wharves and landings.
All the oyster boats and possibly
several scores of other boats sat
like pictures on the waters near the
point where land and water meet on
a common level. 1t was a pleasure
to lovers of water scenery indeed.
The river front as we'll as bayshore
has much to attract visitors even
late in the fall season.
The schools of food fish are
scarce at this season, but there are
many of the sportsmen fish, that
take the hook viciously, yet in our
waters, and several captains oper-
ate boats, and the entire fleet rep
resent a value of about 100000.
Attracting fishing parties to Bowers
does more than benefit Bowers citi-
zens; it helps hundreds of farmers,
many gas stations and as the par
ties generally buy something from
the farmers along the highways to
take home, there is actual benefit to
everybody contiguous.
These trips leave hundreds of
dollars in Delaware each season
and we at Bowers appreciate and
invite them to come and enjoy
great sport and recreation, in fish
ing and auto trips through hand
some country.
The weather has been too warm
for the oyster trade so far as the
packing houses are concerned. The
demand from city buyers is not up
to the standard of cold crisp wea-
ther, which starts the business at
top speed.
Last Monday a freight steamer
from the Chesapeake Bay, loaded
with phosphate destined for Fred
erica, stopped at the gas buoy of
Bowers and signalled for a pilot to
bring her into the river and take
her up to Frederick wharf. Captain
Tribbitt and Captain Reed respond
ed and took her to her destination.
Radio trouble resembling a grind
ing noise has frequently made utter
disgust with radio reception here
and about Bowers. The cause is un-
known, but it is generally believed,
that the insufficient voltage is CON-
ing over our service wires to make
the service what it should be. When
it is good, it is awful good, and
when it is bad, it-oh just awful.

Humphreys and Miss Maggie Flem-

tended trip through the middle

PROBLEMS IN
ETIQUETTE

Question: What is the correct re-
Spouse TO an introduction?
Answer: The accepted phrase in
acknowledging an introduction Is
How do you do Unless the per-
son acknowledging the introduction
has = particular reason for saying
~ am glad to meet you, - and feels
reasonably sure that the other per,
SON is glad to meet him, there is no
need for using this greeting. How
ever. if a person is being introdue ed
TO q woman in her own home, more
cordial greeting than that OF bowing
slightly and saying How do You
do. may be used.
Ii is quite correct upon leaving
to say TO a person whom you have
Just met and whose company YOU
have enjoyed, - am very glad to
have met you. - hope may see
YOU again some time or some such
similar sentence.
Such acknow { e m ents as
Pleased to meet YOU or merely
mentioning the name of the person
introduced, are not considered cor
rect in polite society.
