laundry. In order that he might be
informed before launch
ing this new project, Mr.. Carey had
laundry experts from many large
plants inspect his building, draw
plans, and offer suggestions for the
new plant. For the past two months
he has made weekly trips to laun-
dries in nearby states to study their
methods of operation. Last week
the last of the machinery for the
laundry was purchased. The boiler
and engine are already installed,
and as the new equipment arrives it
will be put in place ready for oper-
alton.
Mr.. Carey is a firm believer in the
payment of living wage to his EN-
ployees, and in his present garage
business has always kept his force
on the payroll, even during the
slack seasons. He will follow this
plan in his new venture. He be-
lieves that the housewives of Mil
ford will welcome the opening of
the new laundry, and will be glad to
see his new white truck when it
makes its first visit to their homes
in the near future.

TOCAN AT HOME

more cans of peaches which will
prove very acceptable, and few
cans of home canned peaches would
be very acceptable to our hospitals
on Donation Day.
According to w. T. Derickson, Di-
rector, Bureau of Markets, State
Board of Agriculture, Delaware
growers have produced for market
about 800 or 700 carloads of this de-
licious fruit. The price is not high
and at the present time peaches can
be purchased from Csc to. $1.25 per
bushel, according to variety, size,
and grade. Certainly consumers
should take advantage of these
prices and should make an effort
to visit the peach orchards at the
present time and secure a supply for
not only their own winter require
ments, but enough to supply some,
at least, to persons who may be in
need.

To meet the glad with joyful

And to wipe the weeping eyes
A heart at leisure from itself
To soothe and sympathize."

WIFE SUES CITY FOR HUSBANDS DEATH
NEW YEARS DAY CELEBRATED IN
 ISLAND GROUP
To-day Is New Years for the Chatham Islands, ALA Miles From Well lingtOn, New Zealand

Wellington, N. C., Jan 1--(Fri- day)-( United Press)-Some two hundred shepherds and fishermen on the Chatham Islands, 414 miles southeast of here celebrated the arrival of 1932 to-day while milk men in the United States were making the rounds on the last day of 1881.
 This small British colony in the southern Pacific was the first place in the world to welcome the New Year for when the bell in the little church on Hanson Island pealed out midnight the great boom of Big Ben in London struck twelve, noon, and Q. m. risers in New York were just throwing back the covers.
 The Chatham Islands are the nearest point to the starting line of time. This starting line is the admiralty's date-line. It is made to curve east and west of the 180th meridian to such n way that 1t lies always in the ocean. The Chatham Islands lie just to the east of this line.
 From the islands the New Year is now racing westward along the equator at a speed of 1000 miles an hour. By the time New York CTS are gathering to welcome 1t most of the islanders will have cured their headaches and will be preparing for New Years day dinner.

LYNN MYSTERY DEATHS ARE NOT
 FULLY SOLVED
May Have Been Foul Play in Cases of Riding Master and Pretty Sec retary of Doctor

Lynn, Mass, Dec 31-(UP)-Po- lice said today they had "sus- picions of evidences of foul play" in connection with the mysterious Christmas-week deaths of John Joseph Anketell, Lynn riding school master, and Dorothy Cloutier, at- tractive young doctors secretary.
 Chief James H. Broad, veteran of 35 years police experience, : added, however, that the test of the suspicious lay principally in results of analysis of the vital or- gans by Dr William F. Boos, Har- yard toxicologist.
 Boos5 report an Anketell was expected today, and that on the young woman tomorrow.
 Anketell, father of two children, died early December 22 in the apartment of Miss Cloutier, unwed mother of 14-month-ol girl. Two days later Dorothy was found dead in the kitchen of the apartment, and was listed as a suicide by illu- minating gas.
 Dr Alfred P. Bowen, Dorothy's employer, treated Anketell in his last illness. He gave acute alco- nOllSIl dS tue CtluSe OL uSdtH, put after Anketell's body had been ex- humed for autopsy Dr Bowen ad- vanced a theory the riding master may have taken poison.
 Dr Bowen explained last night now he learned of the possibility that Anketell may have committed suicide. His information was ob- tained at the home of Mrs Gladys Kyle of Beachmont. he said. Mrs Kyle and Dorothy were close friends" the doctor narrated, "and went over there and brought a tapestry which Mrs Kyle always admired in Dorothy's apartment (which the doctor furnished) and which knew Dorothy would want her to have" He said Mrs Kyle told him Dorothy had confided to her that Anketell had access to poison.
 Mrs Mary Anketell, wife of the dead man, denied indignantly the allegation that her husband may have committed suicide, and also asserted that though he admired Miss Cloutier he was not in love with her.
 Referring to Q sedative Dr Bowen reported he gave Anketell the night before he died, Mrs Anketell said she had administered 1t to her hus- band several months ago upon Dr Bowen's advice, but was forced to stop using 1t when Anketell com plained 1t was choking me to deathn

A preaching athlete from Ore- gon who has become . world lead- CT of young people is Dr Daniel A. Polling who will speak at the Sunday evening meeting to be con- ducted by the Allied Campaigners of Prohibition, in the First Metho- dist church. As president of the Worlds Christian Endeavor Union, Polling is the leader of an army of 100000 youths scattered all over the world. During this pres ent year he is the chairman of the Allied Campaigners of Prohibition who are now engaged in a nine months tour which will have talk en them by next June to 5S7 cities and towns in AS states.
 Polling relates what led him to take up the cudgels for the 18th amendment: "I woke up one day when my son came home and said. Dad, I am against prohibition. That started me to thinking. Then I realized that he had grown up since prohibition became Q fact and had no way of appreciating what conditions were under the old saloon system.
 "I took him down through the Bowery in New York and other places like that and showed him all the spots where saloons had bene located and let him talk to men who knew the old days He came back convinced that prohi- bition is betetr than tho old H. cense system"
 Polling has had an unusual ca reer. He had hardly completed his schooling when he ran for governor of ohio on the prohibit ton ticket. For 50 consecutive days, he made seven speeches D day. He was only 27 and couldn't have taken the office if he had been elected, but that didn't deter him. Moreover, 4S,000 people voted for him, or 46,000 more than the prohibition party boiled In the previous election.
 once he was incapacitated in an automobile accident. He occu- pied tho time by writing a suc- cessful novel and has followed this with several others.
 Polling accepted pastoral charge in 1919 in the fashionable Marble Collegiate church on Fifth avenue. New York, but gave this up in 1929 so he could give all his time to young people. Every. where, he champions the cause of youth. He believes that young people are fundamentally sound and never hesitates to say so with charac cteristic vigor.

After having her husband arr rested six times for beatings she suffered at his hands and non. support, she finally decided divorce was the best way out. Mrs Mary Shpak stated in securing her free dom from John Shpak in superior court this morning. She said she had her husband arrested half dozen times since their marriage or October 5, 1918. Three of the ar rests were for non-support and the other times for beatings he gave her, she said.
 She said her husband was work ing for the unemployed force in the city and was paying her $4.50 weekly for support of herself and two children. They were separated by order of police court when the husband was last arrested.
 The plaintiff was laid off two weeks ago and is not working now, she said. She said her husband had erroneous suspicious about her and whenever he became intox:- cated proceeded to beat her. Alex ander J. Standard, one of the wit ncsses, told of an incident that happened two years ago when he
