this solution is the granting Of inmedi-

We FilipinoS wish to develop our own
resources, and we realize that the Phil

establishment on a permanent basis
We do not object to q more slow eco

permit our resources to be developed
by our own people. They should meet
their economic problems face to face
and learn to cope with each new situa-

Tile and Brick
Consumption Great in China.
China Weekly Review, Shanghai
There are 1900 walled cities in China,
80 of them with a population of over
million. As all building and repairs,
whether Of the walls or of the houses,
are largely of brick or tile, the con-
sumption of these products is enormous.
We have not been able to check up the

cities, but we may remark that even
old fashioned Peiping, with many
wooden buildings. consumes nearly 1885,
600 tons Of brick and tile in q year.
Canton, TtentSin and Hankow consume
even more than that; and with other
cities using brick and tile in similar
proportions 1t is easy to see how impor-
tant the clay industries are in China.

Mr.. WILLIAM WALTER McGINNEs
New Science Teacher

This jolly little man teaches Cen
eral Science in the Junior High
School. He is son of Maryland by
birth but considers Delaware to be
the garden spot of the world. Be-
fore coming to Milford Mr.. McGin-
mes lived in Roxana, Del, where he
was the principal in the elementary
school for three years. He seems to
enjoy his work here in our new
school and is very popular, with his
witty jokes, among our faculty. He
graduated from Chestertown High
School and there attended Washing
ton College. Any one could soon
tell what was one of Mr.. McGinnes'
hobbies by the interest he showed
in the games of the World Series
between the Athletics and the Card
inals This interest was begun
when he was a member of the var
sity base ball team of Washington
College.
For the benefit of those who have
not seen this man to recognize him,
Mr.. McGinnes is a short, stout man
with light curly hair and a good
natured disposition.
He is married. His wife is one of
the three primary grade teachers

Let us stop for awhile. arrest
time in its onward fight, and allow
ourselves to be transported back
fifty years to eighteen-eighthy-the
gay eighties-as they are now call
ed, and see if we can't remember
something of our little city as it
was then.
Milford, at the opening of the
eighth decade of the nineteenth CEN
tury, was the center of a large fruit
district, the chief fruit being the
peach, and in Milford were located
the great evaporators for drying
this fruit. The largest of these, if
we can well remember, was located
on or very close to the present site
of Louder Hearn's lumber yard.
Here great loads of peaches came to
be dried and boxed, then loaded on
drays and hauled to the water front
to await shipment to the city mar
kets. The fame of Milford's dried
peaches at this time was widespread
and they commanded the best prices.
Another industry of Milford was
shipbuilding and many stately YES
sells left the ways at Milford to be
used all along the Atlantic coast.
This. industry called for wood, and
Milford had several saw mills, as
well as plants that utilized the
waste materials.
The first cast iron plow made on
the peninsula was cast at the Haven
Mills, then owned by George Grier .
HOffecker Brothers of Smyrna also
owned a large wooden mill at this
point. The products of these differ
ent mills and factories were trans
ported by vessels, and many of
these ship captains lived in Milford.
Out of fleet that at one time con-
tanned twenty vessels we find not
one, and only two captains that
once sailed from Milford still sur
Vive. They are Captain Hendrixson
and Captain Caleb Smith, both of
.hese men are nearing ninety years

Milford at this time had none of
he improvements that we know to-
lay. The roads were muddy and

Inown, street lighting was in the

Miss Kinder, one of our high school
teachers, is carried on through the

In the primary rooms the teach
ers collect the money from the pu-

money to the Office. The grammar
grades and high school appoint GER
tain members in each class to col
lect the money and take it to Miss
Kinder. From the office the money
is taken to the banks.
Tuesday, October z, 224 grammar
pupils and 90 high school pupils de-
posted money. The total amount
banked was $83.61 Miss Watson's
section of the fifth grade led in de-

Milford handled the ball like vet

GUMWOOD SUPPLY
BOON TO MILFORD
Spoon Factory Started In
1920 NOIU Employs SeU-
enty.

Why is the Mulholland Spoon
Factory located in Milford? In our
capacity of business editor we have
wondered about this and have found
that we owe this industry not to the
pleasant, shady streets of our resi-
Dental section nor to the progress
sive merchants of our downtown
district, but rather to the geograph-
ical location of Milford which places
us in the heart of the gumwood sup
ply.
Gumwood forms the raw material
of the bentwood spoon industry.
and the manufacture of the spoons
begins in the woods where the gum
trees are grown. The trees are cut
and sawed into length in order that
they may be loaded on trucks. They
are then hauled to the factory
where they are unlOaded on a NOV
ing track. The logs are carried on
this track to a saving blade which
moves very rapidly. After being
sawed into two-foot lengths, they
are placed in watts containing hot
water. Here they are cooked for
y
upon the season of the wood. In
the next operation, the bark is
taken off and the log is placed on
the veneering machine which cuts
the wood into strips depending upon
the thickness of the SPOONS to be
made.
These strips are then placed on a
rail which moves them along until
they enter the chopping machine.
This machine has very sharp cut
ting edge and when it comes down
upon the wood it cuts it out in the
form of a spoon.
The spoon is now placed into a
machine called the tumbler where
it is dried and cleaned. This ma
chine consists of a large sphere of
wire where the spoons are placed.
The rack turns over and over sew
eral times each time rubbing the
spoons together while they are be-
ing famed and heated to dry them
off at the same time.
When thoroughly dry the spoons
are taken to a moving belt, on each
side of which women are stationed
to pick out the broken ones as they
pass along.
The spoons are then labeled by
that burns the name of the
buyer upon them before they are
,ased up and sent to ice cream man
lfacturers and buyers all over the
United States, Hawaii. Australia
ind Canada.
The company also makes wooden
)lant tags and tongue spatulas such
Is are used by doctors.
