MILK PRODUCERS ARE PROMISED
NEW DEAL; CHECK OFF FIGHT

Association are allowed" The
Harrisburg people want uniform
farm prices for the area, they de-
clared," the statement from Kings
Office said They fear a higher
price in their region above that of
the principal Philadelphia zone
might attract too much surplus to
their market. They do, however,
request that some allowance be
made on the check-off so that
members of other cooperatives
may be recognized as well as the
Interstate Association" The agree
ment, prepared by the interstate.
provides for that association to
collect a check-off fee for milk
from Pennsylvania, southern New
Jersey. Delaware and the Eastern

3 MEN KILLED
IN TRUCK CRASH
Two Were Fatally Injured and
Burned Near MiddletOwn;
the Other North Of Dover
CODE FOR TRUCKS SEEN

Three men were killed and a
fourth suffered severe injuries
when two trucks, operated by the
Victor Lynn Transportation Com
pany crashed into obstacles at the
side of highways within one hour
early Friday morning. The acci-
dents occurred 80 miles apart.
Both trucks were wrecked and in
one case the load and truck wreck
age were destroyed by fire. The
load was scattered over the high
way. The fatalities occurred sever
al hours after the severe storm
that swept the State. Those kill
ed are: Christian SWartzentruber,
aged 27, of Milford; Russell Adams
aged 25, Lincoln; Preston Rogers,
aged 25, of Milford; James S. Ent,
aged 27, of Salisbury, Md, was
taken to Kent General Hospital,
Dover, for treatment for lacer-
ated left arm and bruises and loss
of blood. 1t is thought he will re-
cover. Swartzentruber and Adams
were killed in the first accident,
which occurred near Middletown.
The truck and trailer, loaded with
canned goods and general mer-
chandise, was travelling south. At
2 o'clock the truck assembly left
the road and struck concrete
head wall. Swartzentruber ap-
parently died while making an at
tempt to drag his helper Adams
away from the flaming wreckage
of the truck. His body, burned to
a crisp, was found on the body of
his helper, between a concrete
abutment and the burned truck.
The Middletown Fire Company
summoned by nearby residents,
sped to the scene of the accident,
about one-half a mile north of that
town, and extinguished the flaming
wreckage, but the men were dead,
and the truck and trailer and con-
tents, valued by State police al
$4,000, destroyed. Privates Barn
es and Cole of the State police,
who Investigated the accident
turned the bodies over to the Cor
oner. The second accident, one
hour later, happened just north of
the State Police Station at Dover.
Ent was driving the Victor Lynn
truck and trailer south on the du-
Pont boulevard, at 3 o'clock, when
the truck ran across the road, to
the opposite side, and crashed be-
tween two trees. The truck and
trailer were demolished and the
general cargo strewn over the
highway. Ent saved himself from
Rogers fate by jumping, but was
badly cut on the arm. These acci-
dents, superintendent Reynolds
said after visiting the scene, will
result in the presentation of data
at the next session of Legislature
which, it is hoped, will result in the
passage of a law governing the
hours of operation of trucks by
truck crews, and possibly the es-
tablishment of a code of operation
similar to that used by railroad
operators for engine crews.

SMYRNA SPANS
ON BOULEVARD
Bids For Bridge Extensions
Asked as First Step Dual
Road to Dover
NEW ROAD TO REHOBOTH

The first step for continuance
of the dual road from the New
Castle line at the northern ap-
proach to Smyrna to Dover is be
ing made by the State Highway
Department in asking for bids for
the bridge extensions on the Boule-
ward in Smyrna and the widening
Of Lake Como causeway. Smyrna
In addition to this the driveway to
the State Welfare Home will be
built. The bridge extensions and
the causeway widening will be
part of the highway projects to-
falling $341, 900, all outright grants
from Federal Government, which
have been authorized by the De
partment of Agriculture as the
first block in DelaWare's S1,819,000
share of the S4O0,OO0,O0O national
road construction appropriation, it
was learned last week. Though
supplanting in some measure the
regular Federal aid road grants
which hitherto were matched by
funds from the State government,
and though handled through the
Department of Agriculture, as the
Federal Aid grants were, the pro-
jects are considered a part Of the
national recovery program and it
will not be necessary for the State
to match the appropriations. Plans
and specifications for the 10 pro-
jects already approved were pre-
pared by w. w. Mack, chief engin-
eer Of the State Highway Depart
ment and have been in the hands
of the Washington authorities for
some time. The chief project yet
to be authorized, but which doubt
less will be constructed with a part
of the S1,478,O00 which remains to
the credit of the State following
authorization of the first 10 pro
jects, is widening of the highway
from Dover to Rehoboth at a cost
of 100000. Bids are to be asked
Immediately. Preference in select
ing labor is to be given to the men
listed by the State Relief Commits
sion and the labor departments
employment service. The projects
and the amounts which Mr.. Mack
estimates they will cost are:
Washington Boulevard extension
to come out at Penny Hill police
station, $4,000. Road from Aug
ustine (Old 3. and o. r. R. Bridge
to the Concord Pike, $4,000.
Barker's Landing Bridge, $4,000.
Smyrna bridge extension, $4,000
Laurel-Bridgeville widening, $50
900. Greenwood-Farmington, wild
ening, $4,000. Highway through
widening, $4,000. Bridge
vile to Greenwood, widening, $45,-
600. Road through Bridgeville,
$4,000 Lake Como bridges, 500
600 Bids for the first five will be
received by the State Highway De
partment at 2 p. m, Standard
Time, August 80, at Dover. The
act appropriating the s4OO,OOO.OOO
provides that 25 per cent of the
money shall be spent inside towns
or incorporated villages in exten-
sion of the Federal aid system, un-
less this should not be possible, in
which event the money could be
spent for other road building pro-
jects. Mr.. Mack said that Federal
aid roads which stop at the town
limits are so few in Delaware it
will not be possible to spend 25 per
cent of Delaware's allotment in
this manner. This State, he points
out, has followed the policy of
building the roads through the
towns.

The team received it's first taste of
1888 fall football Tuesday when a
light workout was held. Suits were
issued to aspirants Monday after
noon.
In the younger group of football
position seekers is Bbbby Paffrath
who will give plenty of competition
for a line berth or might be shifted
to the backfeld. He played some last
year at one of the fanKs and will
probably be given a chance to fill the
hole left by the graduation Of Jack
Lauterbach.
Others who may land one of the end
positions are Jim Inglis, regular Of
last year and Gordon Alexander.
Wally Lauterbach might also be
shifted to end for tryout.
Albert Corbett, regular center for
two years, may be moved to tackle.
Hardy, who last year handled a
guard berth, may also be converted
into a tackle. Buz Smith, who has
played at end, is a very likely tackle
candidate.
Two guards will have to be built
out of five present prospects, Hills
Slaymaker, Mervale Wolverton, Ken
DeGroat, Blair Philbrick and Lyman
Hassenstab.
Lloyd Melges, second string center
last year, will probably be used as
first stringer this year in the event
Corbett is shifted to another posi-
tion.
Other players who answered the
call Tuesday night were: Bob Hos
kins, Howard Melges, Don Crooks,
Jim Parsons, Rus Lauterbach, Berton

$4,000 PER DAY
PROVIDED FARMERS
BY LAND BANK

Loans were approved by the fed
eral Land Bank of st. Paul at the
rate Of over $4,000 day during the
month Of August. Estimating the
closing days Of the month on the
average shown by reports available,
the bank approved loans for a total
of $2,167,000 in the four states of
this district, North Dakota, Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and Michigan.
This is an increase over each of
the two preceding months of 245 per
cent in loans allowed. Not all these
loans have been CLOSED" because
there remain certain details to be
finished, such as examination of the
abstracts and filing of other papers.
In many cases farmers who have
been notified that their applications
have been allowed are slow in return
ing the abstracts and the other ex-
ecuted papers. It is believed that
their assurance that the funds will be
forthcoming relieves them of worry
and that they are letting threshing,
the movement of livestock to market,
and other matters keep them from
doing their part by sending in,
promptly the papers that must be re-
ceived and recorded before the loans
can be marked "closed" and the
money be turned over to them.
