MANY AT FLEMINGS LANDING
To See Power Boat 'Don' Seized
Thursday for Its Cargo of Liquor
rII,.xn.l.x.

Thursday for Its Cargo of Liquor
All day Thursday and Friday
many from Smyrna, Dover, Mid
dletown and surrounding country,
motored to F'leming's Landing to
see the Don, the high powered
boat with its Liberty motors and
huge mufflers, there under guard
which early Thursday morning
was relieved of its cargo of bottles
of rum as it was being transferred
to auto truck transports. Agents
went to Fleming's Landing Friday
night to turn the power boat, Don,
over to the U. S. custom agents,
of Philadelphia. When they arriv-
ed at the landing they found Or
vile w. Newman and others
around the large warehouse there.
1t is understood that some of the
sacks of liquor fell overheard, dur
ing the unloading, and that resi-
dents in the vicinity were doing a
little fishing, APPARENTLY with some
luck. Two bottles which Newman
claims he did not know of were
found in his car. He was put un-
der $1,000 bail before Magistrate
Burton of Dover to answer the
charge. The Don was turned over
to the customs officers and it will
be stored at the seizure dock in
Philadelphia with other seized YES
sells. The customs officers, on
leaving with the boat under it's
own power, two Liberty aviation
engines, said they intended seeing
how much speed the Don would
really make on the way up the
river. Saturday Frank Cunning. a
special investigator of the depart
ment, who succeeds George A.Hill,
resigned as temporary acting"
administrator, is now in charge of
the Delaware District. He, with
three agents, were busy Friday
and Saturday, checking over the
seizures stored in the old Federal
building at Sixth and King streets,
Wilmington. All the seizures were
counted and tabulated, in addition
to the 10000 bottles seized in a
freight car at Third and Church
streets, some months ago. This
work is incidental to Mr.. Hills
resignation.

OVER 5000 AT FAIR OPENING
Kent and Sussex Fair at Harring-


With flags waving in the breeze
and bands of music making things
lively, the eleventh annual Kent
end Sussex Fair officially opened
yesterday morning. 1t was esti-
mated that fully 5000 persons at
tended on the opening date over
half of whom were children. The
opening day is considered their
day as all under 16 years of age
are admitted free Long before
noon the parking space contained
several hundred automobiles. The
farmers have arrived at the time
of the year when they feel they
can take day off without loss of
time. With this idea in mind the
family auto was loaded to capac-
ity and then the remaining avail
able space was filed with good
things to eat. When they go in
the grounds in the morning they
stay all day and until after the
fire works in the evening. Joe
Basilles' Band is discoursing music
every day and evening. To the
lovers of good horse racing the
Kent and Sussex Fair promises
good sport. Some fast horses have
been entered and crowds will be
these races daily. The
on display at the fair are
considered the finest in many
years. 1t is remarkable to be able
to have such beautiful displays
the fact that the
weather in this section has been
dry all the year.

A SIGNIFICANT TRIBUTE to the value
IA Of the new Ford is found in its
increasing use by Federal, state and city
governments and by large industrial
companies which keep careful day.by-
day cost records. In most instances, the
Ford has been chosen only after ex.
haustive tests of every factor that con-
tributes to good perfOrmance-speed,
power, safety, comfort, low cost of
operation and up.keep, reliability and
long life.
Prominent among the companies
using the Ford are the Associated Com.
panies of the Bell System, Armour and
Company, The Borden Company, Con"
tinental Baking Corporation, FirestOne
Tire and Rubber Company, General
Electric Company, Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Company, Kellogg Company,
KnickerbOcker Ice Company, Morton
Salt Company, Pillsbury Flour Mills
Company, The Proctor & Gamble
Company, and Swift & Company.
Each of these companies uses a
large number of Ford cars and trucks.
The Washington times., 1930-06-13

never see them. Yet they play an inn.
portant part in satisfactory, economical
performance. Their function is similar
to the jewels Of fine watch.
Throughout the Ford chassis, ball
or roller bearing is used at every place
where it is needed to reduce friction
and wear and give smooth, reliable
mechanical operation.
At many points, as on the transmits
sion cOunter-shaft, clutch release, fam
and pump shaft, and front drive shaft,
these ball and roller bearings are used
where less costly types of bearings might
be considered adequate.
Additional instances of the high quail
ity built into the Ford are the extensive
use of steel forgings, fully enclosed
four.wheel brakes, Rustless Steel, four
Houdaille dOuble-acting hydraulic
shock absOrbers, aluminium pistons,
chrome silicon alloy valves, torque-tube
drive, three-quarter floating rear axle,
and the Triplex shatter.prOOf glass
windshield.
The Ford policy has always been to
use the best possible material for each
part and then, through large prOduc.
ton, give it to the public at low cost.
The Washington times., 1930-06-13

The Associated Companies of the Bell
System use more than eight thousand.
Modern business moves at a fast
pace and it needs the Ford. Daily, in
countless ways and places, it helps to
speed the production and delivery of
the worlds goods and extend the useful
service of men and companies.
Constant, steady operation over many
thousands of miles emphasizes the ad-
vantages of the sound design Of the Ford
car, its high quality of materials, and
accuracy in manufacturing. Beneath
its graceful lines and beautiful colOrs
there is a high degree of mechanical
excellence.
An example of the value built into
the Ford is the use of more than twenty
ball and roller bearings. They are
hidden within the car and you may
