Many persons still cling to
the idea that the United Stat
es should have and hold a
strong policy of isolation from
the affairs Of Europe. They
go back to the days of the
founders to support their
ideas. They seem to overlook
the fact that in these times
we are knitted to Europe, and
in fact all parts of the world.
Smyrna times., 1931-07-22

Much qualification has re.
suited recently through q
realization of the fact that
political and state lines are
largely vanishing on this pen
insula, except as to matters of
government. We have regard
ed this unification chiefly
from the business viewpoint
-as well as the SCOTLAND
have very properly given
much of the credit to the Del
Mar-Va Eastern Shore Asso-
citation. The advent of good
roads also has been a factor in
increasing the understanding
between the people of the var
ious counties. 1t has enabled
each person to broaden his or
her acquaintanceship, and has
permitted the sections to
know each other better than
when many of them were iso-
lated and it was not realized
that all had something in COM
com.
At the recent meeting of
the County Highway Officials
Association of Delaware at
Rehoboth there came assur-
ance that the officials who are
responsible for these roads
are cooperating in all inter-
county work of this character.
Horace NJ. Clark, engineer for
Wicomico county, who also is
secretary of the Eastern
Shore Highway Engineers
Association, advised the Re
hoboth meeting to this effect.
The people Of the two states,
he said, realize that they have
much in common and they are
anxious to cooperate in all
undertakings that are for the
general welfare Of the whole
peninsula.
We agree with the Every
Evening that this is the kind
of spirit that will bring re-
suits. If each section follow
ed a selfish policy. and worked
Independent Of the well being
of its neighbors, the people
might build up public facil-
tiles, but unless these facil-
tiles co-ordinated with those
Of nearby localities they
would fall short of their pur-
pose. 1t is well, therefore,
that the whole peninsula ter
ritory is manifesting a spirit
Of fellowship and co-opera-
tion,, not only in the matter of
social relations, but also in
making improvements that
are necessitated as time goes
on"
