Threatening Fire

The house of William Hastings caught fire from a defective chimney Tuesday morning about o'clock. It was seen by Presby Wetherell, who was delivering newspapers on his pony. The alarm was sounded by the ringing of the church bell. When the men arrived fire had broken through the roof in several places, but by use of fire extinguishers and pails of water it was brough. asss:er control. The Saltwater Worsted Co. shut down to allow the employees to assist. Mir Hastings' house is near the center of the village, and had a fire got beyond control it would have wiped out good many homes, as all are feeling the effects of the dry spell many being without water in their wells.

Employment For Milford

into parking place for autos under
city protection.
Milford can and will furnish day
work for labor during the winter
with profit to the town and public
by employing a competent forestry
man to supervise trimming the trees
on the streets and highways, so that
street lights may illuminate the
sidewalks and streets for both traf-
fic and pedestrians. This is a large
job; one that has not been done in
the last twenty years, and needs to
be done with intelligence that the
trees shall not be injured.
There are several miles of new
streets to be graded and opened and
much of this should be curbed and
guttered after expert grades have
been established. When this is done
the open spaces will be built upon
and taxable property be added to
the assessment lists.
During the winter storms, all gut
ters can be cleaned from dirt and
refuse, while the SHOWS must also
be cleared from about the fire plugs
after each storm, so that firemen
can serve the people by saving
property.
Then all sewer inlets must be
kept open at all times, and this will
furnish work for labor for one or
more days each week, so long as the
winter necessity remains. All of
these suggestions are open sources
for the next Town Council to work
out relief for labor in Milford dur
ing the closed down period for win
ter labor.
The Board of Education can fur
nish some work during the slack
period, by having the athletic field
graded and possibly some of the
work of building the running track |
and base ball diamond, which would
require unskilled labor only. OF
course this work should be given
to residents of Milford, so far as it .
is possible, because it is for such
special relief that work of repairing F..
of property and cleaning up gener-
ally would be engaged in.
If all will stop and think as to
just what they as individuals may
do to help employment-no charity,
but just helping others to help
the idea will go over
with success.
. Thanksgiving is at hand, and
Christmas is only a month distant,
and then comes the winter with its
storms and pinching; that is the
time to loosen up the heart strings
by helping others to help them
selves.

PTOUide instrumental
Music Training
rContinued from Fir,t Pnne1

During the last twenty-five years ii
has been proven that a pupil ac-
quires the elementary techniques of
singing or playing musical instru-
ment as effectively in class as with
a private teacher. In fact, some of
the leading Conservatives of the
country are even teaching advanced
pupils by the class method.
Because of the organization of the
instrumental work on a statewide
basis it has been possible to secure
instruments at wholesale prices,
thus providing a great savings to
parents and children; furthermore,
the company from whom the instru-
ments are purchased are selling
them on the installment basis.
So much interest has been shown
for instrumental study that to date
there have been organized throughA
out the State twelve new bands,
with an average enrolment of 80
pieces. ts--.. .-.."
In addition to the organization of
bands there have been provided in a
large number of schools class in
structjon for pupils wishing to
study violin, voice and piano. This
type of organization makes music
lessons financially possible for prac-
tically any pupil throughout the
State of Delaware wishing to study.

Memorial To General
DUPONT Is Suggested
[Continned from Fra Paael

eral DUPONT to express their appre-
citation of his gift of the dupont
Boulevard" said one automobile
owner. Every motOrist who trav-
'erses the splendid DUPONT highway
extending through the State should
feel grateful to General DUPONT and
should be only too glad to express
that gratitude in an appropriate
manner.
my suggestion is that every auto
mobile owner in Delaware cOntri-
butte to a fund for a memorial to
General DUPONT. There are at least
10000 owners of automobiles and
trucks in the State, and a cOntribu-
tion from each would provide
substantial fund. Every motorist to
whom l have broached this idea has
Immediately offered to contribute,
and some of them to give most lib
orally.
"Just what form such a memorial
should take would have to be de-
termined, but one idea l would like
to suggest would be the erection of
an elaborate memorial arch across
State street at Dover Green, oppO-
site the State House, for it was at
that historic spot that General du-
Pont formally presented the State
highway to Governor Denney I'M
1924. Another admirer of General
dupont suggests a Handicapped park
with a memorial at point on the
boulevard exactly halfway between
the Pennsylvania line at Naaman's
and the Maryland line at Selbyville.
This midway spot would be near
Dover.
CAS- a motorist who is not I'M
of and grateful for the Won
derful things General DUPONT did
for his State and for humanity, I
make this suggestion for consider
alton of Delawareans."
