TOWN WILL VOTE
ON BOND ISSUES
Westminster Decides Pur.
+ chase of Water Plant
on October 16.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
WESTMINSTER. Md.

WESTMINSTER, Md, September
30.-Westminster voters will decide two
important issues at special bond issue
election October 16
One of the two issues concerns
bonds totaling 100000 for purchase
from the Consolidated Public Utilities
Co. Of Westminster of all its plant and
property devoted to the supply of water
to the city and vicinity. Provision
also has been made at that time for
an expression of attitude on the issu-
ance of bonds for construction of
sewerage and refuse disposal system.
Purchase of the water system here
has been considered for number of
years. The election ordinance states
that the proposed issue of bonds shall
not exceed 100000. For construction
Of the sewerage system. the ordinance
limits the bonds to per cent of the
assessed valuation of property listed
and assessed.
Proponents of the sewerage system
say a number of industries have been
lost to Westminster in the past few
years because the city could not pro-
vide adequate sewerage facilities. They
point out the purchasing power and
wealth of the community would have
been greatly increased had the indus
tries not been forced to locate else
where.

Brasher of Bridgeville. The feature
of the musical selections, was SER
les of numbers sung by a chorus,
which was composed of choirs of the
Frederick, Magnolia and Bowers
Churches and Barratt's Chapel.
When the services began on the
lawn where a platform had been
erected, Bishop Hughes was intro
duced by the Rev. Benjamin Warren,
formerly a member of the New York
Conference, but now retired and liv-
ing at Rehoboth. During his intro
ductory remarks he recalled that he
preached his first sermon in Bar
rats Chapel at the tender age of
sixteen.
Bishop Hughes took for his text
the words. Comfort One Another"
found in the third chapter of Thes-
salonians, the 18th verse. He stress
ed the necessity of Christians to be-
come more possessive of the Holy
Spirit of Jesus Christ, that they, like
He( would be willing to share one
another burdens, and offer comfort
to those who are in distress and suf-
fering. He said what the American
people needed was more of the milk
of human kindness, and love of fell
bowman. He also brought out the
fact that the most important thing
in the world is not the possession of
great wealth, not the possession of
great power, but rather the power

FARMERS SEE DEMAND,
FOR COMING RYE CROP
With Repeal of Prohibition in Sight
Price of Rye Is Soaring

Rye-one of the principal ingredi-
ents in whiskey, particularly rye
whisky-by all indications will be an
important crop in Delaware If suf-
ficient rye seed, now soaring in price
and scarce at the high price of at
least $1.25 bushel, can be secured
by Delaware farmers.
Rye has always been useful crop
to Delaware farmers and most farm
ers. because of the strong straw, the
value of the grain as stimulant to
the condition of the soil and because
of its pasturing value. have had a
small acreage of rye on their farms.
When the time for the planting of
rye comes this year-usually from
October 10 to 20-it is prophesied
that the acreage will be multiplied
many times
Farmers as a result of the record
of the 81 states which have SO far
voted on the repeal of the 18th
Amendment. are now confidently
preparing to plant a large acreage
of rye this fall. The only deterrent
to their action is the fact that rye
is now high and the seed scarce.
Most of it is now being brought here
by trucks from Baltimore, and costs
at Baltimore $125 a bushel and up.

FIRE PREVENTION
WEEK OCT. S-l4
Citizens Urged To Help
Lessen Loss And Suffer
ing Incurred By Fire.

Next week will be Fire Proven
tion Week." Proclamations to this
effect have been issued by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Governor Buck.
These proclamations are issued by
our nation, and State leaders in the
hope that we the people of the Uni
ted States, might become less ne
glectful of the causes that lead to
fires, and that our public schools
might take advantage of this time to
instill in the children an idea of
carefulness in all things associated
with fire.
If we can educate our children to
be careful we can perhaps prevent
in the future, unnecessary fires
which are yearly robbing us of lives
and wealth.
1t might be interesting to know
that fires take a toll of 10000 lives,
and $5O0,0OO,OO0 in property each
and every year. Injuries, loss of
homes and jobs, due to fire, cause
untold suffering which may not be
measured in terms of dollars. All
this is unnecessary. Most of it is pre-
ventable. Every fire can either be
prevented or at least kept from
spreading and put out before it
reaches dangerous size, through or
dinary precaution and protection.

SAFETY COUNCIL URGES
CARE ON THE HIGHWAY
Says Pedestrians Should Use Care
In Walking On Roads

According to the Delaware Safety
Council, everyone at some time rides
in an automobile and likewise ev-
eryone is at some time a pedestrian.
Hence, there should be a matter of
immediate Understanding between
the two. However, the opposite is
usually the case and the great traf-
fic lesson of the age, therefore, be-
comes the lesson of the motorist-
pedestrian shift. It is a shift that
must take place immediatell, one
that must be done without wear and
tear on delicate mechanism, such as
human nerves and sensibilities. 1t
is a shift which nothing but the oil
of courtesy can smooth and silence.
This shift enables the motorist to
slip mentally into the speed of a
pedestrian and enables the pedes-
trian at the same time to shift his
thinking into accord with the mo-
torists's.
Traffic signals are installed not
only to control vehicles but to reg
ulate pedestrian movements. Acct
dent reports indivate that it is al
most four times as hazardous to
cross an intersection against a sig
nal than in obedience of it. When
a walker attempts to move against

REQUEST FOR FUNDS

Following a conference at Dover
on Monday with the members of the
Public Works Commission, Governor
C. Douglass Buck called up the body
to submit to him a complete list of
the projects which have been ap-
proved by the Governors Survey
Commission and which it is propos-
ed to carry out with Federal aid.
The Governor will present the list
at the forthcoming special session of
the Delaware General Assembly. The
list will be compiled by Charles
Fleming, of Dover, who is in charge
of the headquarters of the Commits
sion at Dover.
A request was made by the Will
mington Water Commission for the
sum of $4,000 to be asked from the
Federal government for the purpose
of aiding in the commissions pro-
gram on public works improvements.
Under the plan of the Wilmington
department work amounting to ap-
proximately $250,000 is planned and
the $4,000 represents the amount
the government would allot for the
RuA POoCs
The request has already been sent
to Washington. The work to be
done consists of renewals and i'm
provements in the water system.
A delegation of residents of lower
Kent county and Sussex county ap-
peared before the commission and
made request for funds for the
purpose of caring Cor the drainage
bitches in that section. The bitches
are ordinarily taken care of by the
State but due to the lack of suffi-
cient appropriation the ditclies have
not been cared for and after heavy
rains, fill up and cause considerable
Gamage to adjacent land. Engineers
will be sent to the affected territory
and meet with the engineers of the
two counties and inspect the bitches
and report back to the commission.

will embrace basketball and base
ball.
The schools in the conference are
Delmar, Laurel, Seaford, Bridge

ready been completed with allow
ances being made for games already
arranged with schools not in the

A two year contract Is being made
in football on home and home basis.
Two games with each school will be
provided in basketball and baseball.
With the formation of this con-
ference the Delaware Athletic Asso-

there are now only three schools
remaining in the association. Five
of the eight schools for which foot
ball schedules were provided have
gone over to the new association.
Efforts may be made to form a
similar conference in the northern
part of the state but the plans will
have to go over until the basketball
season as all the schools in the
northern section have their football
