STATE MOTOR FUEL LICENSES

throughout the State concerning
those who have neglected to take out
State Motor Fuel licenses, State. Po-
lice rounded up five in Laurel this
week and one in Milton who were
selling retail gasoline and in all
cases substantial fines were iInpos-
ed. Several pleaded that they
thought the mercantile licenses COW
cred the selling of gasoline but their
pleas were dismissed when it was
shown that this is a special act that
covers the sale of gasoline alone
and no matter if the owner operates
a country store with only one pump
for gasoline, he must take cut the
special gasoline license from tie
State Treasurer. officers Holt of the
Bridgeville station and Lynch of the
Georgetown station handled the
cases for the State. State Treasurer,
George S. Williams, is determined
that every retailer of gasoline shall
take out the proper license and al
though the fines so far asked havS
been small, now that four m )nths
has elapsed since the law having
gone into effect, higher fines will be
asked and in the near future sople
negligent retailer of gasoline ma.
be fined the maximum of $500.

HOUSTON WINS SERIES
WITH MILFORD TEAM

The snappy pitching of George
Winters and the powerful slugging
of Zip" Locates proved too potent
for Milford on Sunday last. Houston
winning, 5 to l. 1t was the final
game of the season in lower Della
ware and also was the deciding con-
test in the five game series between
the two teams. These games have
aroused much interest in baseball
than has been seen in lower Della
ware in the last decade.
Both teams had some of the best
semi-pro players in the State in
their lineup. Winters. an artist on
the mound, proved effective in the
pinches and on several occasions
came through to fan batters with
the bases loaded. Zip" Locates had
a perfect day at bat, with four hits.
which accounted for three of the five
runs. Poor support caused Gray
plenty of bad moments. Only one
earned run was charged against him.
The Houston Libbies with this game
closed their first season with 35
games won, 26 lost and 8 ties.

TAXES CHIEF TASK
GOVERNOR ASSERTS
[COHfiHHed from Fhsf PaSs1
Text of Governors Messape

I'm the short time the Legislature
has been in session, the question re-
'lating to the business Of the call that
has been discussed most had to do
with Federal aid for the proposed
works program.
THE immediate question, it would
seem to me, is not the spending of
the money but rather the source from
which the State is going to obtain
revenue with which to pay the in
terest and amortization charges on
bonds that may be sold. In other
words, with the general fund facing
an estimated deficit of million dol
lars at the end of the biennium, we
can hardly expect the Federal Gov
ernment or the public to fancy Della
ware bonds unless revenue is raised
with which to pay the interest and
principal when due. If our obliga-
tions are to be thirty-year bonds
bearing per cent, the annual carry
ing charges will equal z 1-3 per cent
or $7S,3S3, for each million dollars
of securities issued
Therefore l reiterate that in my
limited judgment the important .ques-
ton just now is how the carrying
charges on money to be borrowed
are to be raised. In other words, I
upon what is a tax to be levied, and
the amount. Will you kindly give
this phase of the works program 1
your valued consideration" :" ..- o.

year-old son of Clarence l.. Smith,
a pupil in the second grade of the
elementary school, while attempting

GAME AND FISH ASSOCIATION
MEET AT DOVER NEXT MONDAY

Announcement has been made by
John j. Parsons, Seaford, secretary
and treasurer of the Delaware Game
! and Fish Protective Association, that
the annual meeting of that organiza-
tion will be held Monday, October
goth, at 7.30 p. M, in the Kent Coun-
ty Court House room, southeast cor
Iier Of Dover Green. The meeting
promises to be of unusual interest
because of the annual election of Of
| ficers and consideration of a pro-
gram for the coming year.
The Delaware Game Association
during its first year has developed a
strong membership and now plans
to devote its efforts toward organiz-
ing chapters such as has been so
wellacarried out i'm Wilmington, with
special effort made to establish
chapters, or individual community
branches, in all of the towns
throughout the State. Officials of
the association state that there has
never been a greater need for the
sportsmen-the gunners, fishermen
and those who follow each branch of
out-of-doors sports, to get together
and work not only to protect the
game now in Delaware but to exert
every effort to increase it.
In a statement issued by Edwin c.
Totten, president of the association,
who is recovering from a serious ill
ness, it is stated that even with the
exceptionally good work by the
State Game Department, it is neces-
sary for every citizen of the State
interested in any manner in wild
life, as well as all landowners, to
give serious thought toward saving
not only game, but to protect all
wild life as well as to assist in car
ing for our woods and timber land,
as they are of value which once
depleted means that it is extremely
costly as we'll as difficult to replace.
Mr.. Totten stated that the value of
game in any form to the State of
Delaware could be developed to
point where the income from this
source alone would run into many
thousands of dollars, helping all of
our citizens and lowering taxes.
This he explained as being based on,
the fact that Delaware is within
easy driving distance of the larger
cities in the east and that hundreds
of sportsmen in the metropolitan
centers are seeking continuously for
a place where they may enjoy either
good shooting, fishing or some other
form of health giving sport.
The meeting of the Delaware As
is not limited to the pres
ent membership. as every landowner
and sportsman, no matter what
branch of sport they may especially
enjoy or follow, are invited to at
tend. There will be plain matter of
fact talks ON subjects of special in
terest, with time given for a general
as to what steps are best
for the improvement of preserving
and conserving wild life in the State,
with the general purpose being to
bring together all who are in any
manner interested in the out-of-
doors.

EXTENSION CLUB NOTES

The rural homemaker of Kent
County has given very good evidence
of her interest in improving her
home surroundings by exceeding
goals set this year according to Miss
Louise r. Whitcomb, Home Demon
stration Agent for Kent County.
Interest in this project was start
ed with a series of community meet
ings early in the spring. Appropri-
ate paintings, lawns and flower gar
dens were discussed at this time and
slides shown to prove what a vast
improvement these could make to
a farm yard. Later on at club meet
ings discussions were held along the
lines of a cleanup project; namely,
patching and painting fences; re-
moving old rubbish; improving san
itary conditions of toilets; planting
screens to hede outbuildings, etc.
AS a result of these discussions club
members signed up to make 1853 diff
ferent improvements in their yards
before fall.
The project is not yet completed
but the reports of accomplishments
are most gratifying. Evidently one
improvement led to another for CO.
operators report over 450 changes
made with still several to be heard
from.
Thse yard improvements cost but
little or in some cases nothing at
all. They do arouse the interest and
co-Operaton of the whole family in
making the farm home most .beauti-
full and livable. 1t is hoped that an
other year still more families will
Join in this worthwhile project.
