BLACKBRD SEEKS THE HOME
Want State Welfare Home Built
On the William FOrtner Farm

On the William EOrtner Farm
The State Welfare Commission
has received a petition signed by
more than IS residents of Black
bird and Appoquinimink hundreds,
asking that the large farm of Will
liam Fortne- in AppOquinimink
hundred be selected as the site for
the proposed S5OO,OOO State Wei
fare Home. The petition circulat-
ed among the residents of those
districts, points out that this site
is considered the most suitable,
ideally located for the health and
general comfort of the inmates
and also centrally located for the
benefit of the inmates and their
friends and relatives. The farm of
Mr.. Fortner, also known as the old
Donoho farm. comprises PSI acres
of rolling land, with spring water,
attractive woodlands and stretches
of attractive lawns that have been
well kept for many years. The
farm is served by several good
highways, including the State
highway leading to the DUPONT
Boulevard. The site is an historic
one, having served decades ago as
the center Of social activity in that
district. On the site is an old grist
mill and also a well-kept Colonial
house. Citizens in discussing the
matter, point out that the lower
end of New Castle county has new
er been favored with the construc-
lion Of any public building of any
kind.

The Milford Chronicle cele.

The Milford Chronicle cele.
brated its SO birthday last
week. This was observed by
the issuing along with its reg
ular edition, an exact repro
duction of the first issue of
that newspaper, which was
first published on October 4,
1878. This facsimile was pre-
pared as a compliment to the
founders of the Chronicle
Julius E. Scott and Col. Theo-
dore Townsend, both of whom
reside in Milford. The black
marks appearing on the pages
is caused by torn places in the
original paper from which
the reproduction was made.
The last section records what
Milford folks Of over half a
century ago were doing. Com
menting on its fifty-third an
niversary, the Chronicle says:
with this issue Of the Mil
ford Chronicle the newspaper
is beginning the fifty-fou1-th
year Of continuous operation.
The paper was established
and first published October 2,
1878, by julius z. Scott and
Theodore Townsend, then
young men in their early
tWentles. 1t first appeared as
four-page, seven column
newspaper. The first page
was devoted almost entirely
to short stories, while the
news was treated much diff
ferently than at the present
time. Of necessity, it was
much condensed and the lin
tied means Of communication
made it much harder for the
publishers to gather news
than at present. We congrat-
ulate the Milford Chronicle
and especially its veteran edi-
tor and founder Col. Theodore
Townsend, and wish the
Chronicle many more years Of
usefulness.
