BOY SCOUTS ACTIVE
THROUGHOUT STATE
New Troops Organized And Old Or
ganizatiOns "Pepped" Up

The extension of the Scouting
movement throughout the State of
Delaware outside of the Wilmington
area is gaining daily.
So successful has this movement
been since its initiation at a meet
ing between representatives of the
Wilmington Council, Boy Scouts of
America, and a group of public-spir-
tied Delawareans residing south of
the Chesapeake and Delaware Can
al, held at Dover on March 81, that
steps are now being taken for
changing the present name of the
council so that it will he more ex-
pressive of the statewide scope it
now embraces.
At a meeting of the executive
board asst week real progress was
by the committee appoint
ed to revise the Constitution and
Bylaws towards this end, cOmpos-
ed of Everett G. Ackart, chairman;
Harry L. Cannon, Edward P. Bardo,
F. V. DUPONT, H. V. Holloway, Rob-
ert P. Robinson and Charles Cullen.
That this step is born of actual
accomplishments rather than par
ent of them is shown by a report
of Scout Exective Amos r. Shields

Would Have All Motorists
To Contribute For That
Purpose

Memorial Should T a k e
Form OF An Appreciation
For Highway Gift
ROAD APPRECIATION

Suggestion was made this week
that the automobile owners of Della
ware provide a memorial to General
T. Coleman DUPONT as an evidence
of gratitude for his arousing of SEN
timent that gave the State its pres
ent system of unsurpassed improved
highways and for his construction
and gift to the people of the
$4,OOO,O0O DUPONT Boulevard, run
ming the length of the State.
There is no doubt in the minds of
thousands of Delawareans that the
pioneering of General DUPONT in the
movement for improved roads in
Delaware resulted in the construc-
tion of the States network of mod
ern highways, second to that of no
State in the Union. And it also is
evident that because of the cOndi-
ton of the State treasury at that
time, Delaware would have had to
wait many years before it could
have constructed with its own funds
a State-long highway such as Cen
eral DUPONT provided and paid for
and gave to the State.
'I think the least the motorists
of Delaware could do would be to
provide a fitting memorial to Cen
