LADIES AID PICNIC
AT SLAUGHTER BEACH

A delightful day was spent at
Slaughter Beach on Friday, June 19
when Mrs. Anna Aldred entertained
the Ladies Aid Society of the Ave
nue. NJ. E. Church. The ladies began
to arrive about 10 o'clock. There
were about a dozen to sit down to a
bountifully spread dinner table.
They continued to arrive during the
afternoon until there were forty-fve
guests, including men, women and
children. The ladies furnished the
supper and everyone knows what the
Ladies Aid can accomplish in that
line. Mrs. Aldred served hot coffee
and dispensed her usual generous
hospitality. There was a fine west
breeze and Mrs. Aldred's large
screened in porch was filled with
rockers which rocked increasingly,
until time to go home. Everyone
voting it a perfect day.

BOWERS BEACH

A romance that eliminated in a
different way happened at this place
on Saturday. Capt. John Tribbitt is
daily engaged in taking fishing par
ties out in the bay for the finny
sport, but it was the first time that
his boat was used as a background
for a wedding. Such did take place
on the Goth of this month and the
contracting parties were from Har-
risburg, Pa. The families of the
couple were on board and the ia
ther of the bride officiated. After the
marriage the boat came back to
Bowers and w. S. Davidson was the
first to kiss the bride, while those
on shore gave the couple a sere-
made. The only names available
were Mr.. and Mrs. Wolf, who were
the one married. Certainly they
will remember their wedding day as
one out of the ordinary.

FELLOWSHIP CLASS NOTES


The Fellowship Bible Class held
their annual picnic at Rehoboth on
June 16. They planned to picnic at
Shaw Park but showers had made it
rather damp and c. D. Abbott and
wife kindly invited us to their Will
mington street cottage where we had
every comfort.
In spite of the clouds and light
showers we had a most enjoyable
time. A nice lunch and after dinner
jokes kept up hilarious. They were
began most solemnly with Bible
conundrums by Nan Deputy and
answers by our Bible encyclopedia,
Mrs. Num-. After lively excursions
on the boardwalk and through Reho-
both stores the class returned hun
cry and enjoyed ice cream and cake.
No regrets were felt except that
the class thought it too cold to don
their latest modern bathing suits
and take dip.
The class truly appreciates the
kindness of Mr.. and Mrs. Abbott for
the use of their home.

BE CAREFUL!
Look! Listen!

The Delaware Safety Council ha!
started those who drive automobile!
to think; but, even this is eneour
aging.
Last year we accidentally killed
more persons in the United States
than in any other year. The figures
have just been released from the
National Safety Council. Here are
some of the sad facts about acci-
dents which the yearly survey re-
veals. $4,000 persons were killed ac-
cidentally during the year. About
ten million more were accidentally
injured. Three billion dollars is a
modest estimate of the cost of last
years accidents.
Children are learning slowly how
to avoid accidents. SO are pedes-
trians, but adults and motorists are
sending the accidental death toll to
new and dizzy heights. The United
States, incidentally, heads the world
in accidents by a wide margin.
Most accidents are aVoidable.
They are caused by needless, need
less chance-taking. Isn't it about
time we gave this problem more
serious thought?
How many people realize what
serious factor accidents are in the
cause of death? Among males acci-
dents are the second greatest cause
of death being exceeded only by
heart disease; among females acci-
dents are the seventh most impor-
tant cause of death being exceeded
only by heart disease, cancer, cere-
bral hemorrhage, chronic nephritis,
pneumonia, tuberculosis.
Safety is emphatically a world
wide problem. In Delaware since
1919 a State wide organization
known as the Delaware Safety Coun- !
Gil has been operating a continuous
campaign of education for the con-
troll of accidents. That this cam
pagn has been successful to a GER
tain degree is evident from the sta
tistics. In the past four years child .
traffic deaths have been decreased |
500. Since 1924 the miles travelled
per auto traffic death have almost
doubled. Industrial establishments
suffered less than 500 of the nation
al expectancies, but we have merely
scratched the surface. Accident rates
are still far too high and in the field
of home safety we have hardly
scratched the surface. The Safety
Council is endeavoring to point out
some of the more prominent causes
of accidents and by pointing these
accidents out to you attempt to Sc
cure your aid in eliminating the
causes.
Sam LankfOrd, the Boston Tar
Baby of boxing fame, is no longer
the invincible gladiator that he was
in his youth. His once keen eyes
have dimmed, his muscles no longer
respond quickly to the first law of
AS a pedes
trian he was knocked down in a bout
with an automobile recently but he
came back" and finally won a vic
tory in court. The Attorney for the
Defense claimed that Landlords de-
fective eyesight was partial cause
Of the accident, but the Judge dis
agreed and fined the driver. He said
"A man is not bound to stay in bed
because his eyesight is failing. Ped
have rights which motor
sts are bound to respect. The driver
las no right to consider that every
pedestrian before him is hale and
hearty and capable of making a ten
'oot leap to safety"
There's a lesson in that decision.
The Delaware Safety Council says
you are not 100 per cent safe driv-
,r unless you drive as you would if
you suspected all pedestrians were
blind.

mercially feasible coal field. From geologic evidence there is high degree of probability, however, that the anthracite beds extend south ward from Anthracite Ridge be- meath the gentler slopes between that ridge and MatanuSka River. Tn that area the coal formation is in large part covered by glacial deposits, but sufficient structural observations on the coal formation were secured to indicate the prob ability that there is a coal field containing reserves of anthracite that will run into many millions of tons. To determine the thick ness, attitude, quality and depth of this coal below the surface at any given locality core drilling will be necessary, and the geologic facts now in hand amply warrant the expense of such drilling program.

valuable veins III the district that have not yet been discovered.
 GIRDWOOD-MOOSE PASS
 DISTRICT
 Although the lode prospects of the Girdwood- Moose Pass district .are scattered along a north-south belt for distance Of some 40 miles, the character of the veins and the general conditions under which they occur are so similar that the two areas may be con- sidered together. Ralph Tuck has made special study of the ore deposits of the Moose Pass district and Charles Park of the Gldwood area. In this district as a whole there are many old lode prospects and in times past several proper- ties have produced, though at pre- sent only few are yielding ore. Although the veins are small. and so far none have been demon Strated to be continuous for many hundreds of feet, either along the strike or in depth, nevertheless they are characterized by the pres ence Of free gold, and some ex- ceedingly rich ore has been ex- tracted.
 Apparently there is some second ary enrichment of the shallow portions of the veins, but their general character and the min eralogical association indicate that primry gold is present and should continue to considerable depths below any htat have So far been reached by mining. However. the general thinness of the veins; the apparent limited extent both hor- izontally and vertically of anv single vein; the striking variations in strike within short distances: and the presence of numerous forks and offshoots indicate that great caution should be exercised III planning extensive develop ments on them, and indicate that the wise course in both prospect ing and mining is to follow the ore shoots closely
 Assays taken from some of the dlkes in the Moose Pass district show the presence of gold in en- couranging amounts, and it is possible that portions of some of these dikes may be rich enough to justify mining.
 NON-METALLIC RESOURCES
 Included in the scope of the geologic Investigations in the rail- road belt was a study of non- metallic resources other than coal. and the examination of miscel- laneous metallic prospects that did not lie within the districts al- ready described. G. A. Warinp was assigned to this work. He examined a large number of pros poets, including those containing limestone, manganese and various types of clays, as well as several metal bearing lodes.

ANTHRACITE FIELD OF UPPER
 MATANUSKA VALLEY

One of the prime purposes of the special appropriation for the study of the mineral resources of the railroad belt was to determine the quality and the amount of minable anthracite coal in the upper Matanuska valley. It was realized that the natural expos ures of the coal formation were InOt sufficiently good to furnish as complete information as was desired, and that eventually core drilling might be necessary. How ever, a detailed surface examina- tion was necessary before the heavy expense of core drilling should be incurred. Accordingly, "a field party was organized, with R- W. Richards in charge of the geologic studies. G, A. Waring was associated with MT. Richards during the later portion of the summer. A large scale topographic map was made of the more prom ising portion of the anthracite field, and a force of laboters was employed to open up the coal ex- posures.
 As a result of structural studies in that area beds have been traced on Anthracite Ridge proper that indicate 3 tonnage of some half million tons of anthracite coal, but that coal occurs under such structural conditions and in such topographic situation that it, in itself, does not constitute 8 com

During the latter part Of the season MT. War ing was engaged in the study of the anthracite field or upper Mat anuska valley.

A resolution requesting President
Hoover to convene a special seS-
sion of Congress to enact the
plan suggested by William Ran
dolph Hearst for a $5,000,000, 900
prosperity loan was. introduced in
the New York State Senate to-

When Senator John ]. Dunni-

the resolution and read state
ment praising the plan, Senator
George R. Fearon, Republican
chief, asked Lieut.. Gov. Herbert
H. Lehman if ne felt the propo-
sal came within the purview of
Governor Roosevelt's unemploy-
ment message. Colonel Lehman
replied:
81 most certainly consider

Earlier in the assembly, Speaker

CHICAGO, Sept. 2 GNS0.-
Walter E. Wolf, church-goer and
family man, embezzled nearly
So, ,OOO, 900 from the nations fourth
largest bank but never profited
by more than $500.
His money went down the
creased skidS of the stock and
grain markets.
Wolf, trusted employe Of the
Continental Illinois Bank and
Trust Company for two decades,
willingly collaborated in the probe
of his peculations. With the
officers of the bank, he went over
his records for the last twelve
years. He declared:
81 am glad to get this load
off my mind. It has made me
miserable. After I help the
bank recover what can be re-
covered, the authorities can do
anything they like with me-"
~, LloydS OF London. which bonds
The banks employees, indicated
the Continental Illinois would be
covered in full on VOLTS en-
bezzlement. A Lloyd's official
was quoted as saying the claim
is the largest Of its kind on
record.
Wolf was cast into great temp
tation first as employe and later
as manager of the banks coupon
department where huge amounts
Of gilt-edge bonds were accessible
to him.
It was a broker who led to
VOLTS undoing. Knowing of his
immense losses in the market,
he could not understand the
source of VOLTS gilt-edged bonds
which he deposited as margin
for his account. He conferred
with one of the bank officials
and an audit was taken, but it
showed nothing.
He used customers bonds to de
post with his broker as collateral
when he opened an account to
trade in stocks on margin. The
customer had received receipt
end the bank had a record, but
when Wolf took bond he would
also take the record that went
with it.
At infrequent intervals, when
bond had to be accounted for
he would get it back from his
broker, substituting newly
stolen bond.
