SUSSEX TOWNS
GETTING BACK
OF NRA PROJECT
DELAWARE ENDS SYSTEM
OF COUNTY ALMSHOUSES

The transfer of the inmates
of the three county aims
houses to the new State We'll
fare Home at Smyrna has
been completed and the 150-
year-old system of poorhouses
in Delaware has come to en-
end. Instead of separate poor
houses in New Castle, Kent
and Sussex Counties there is
now only the central plant, the
Welfare Home, where all the
INDECENT of the State will be
cared for in the future.
The new home is the only
one of its kind in the United
States and is declared to mark
a forward stride in the method
of caring for the poor. At the
present time there are 33S
aged persons being taken care
of, with almost 100 on the
waiting list. Approximately
100 persons who we're being
cared for in the hospital wards

TWO FORESTRY
CAMPS ASSIGNED
TO DELAWARE
Units To Be Used to Drain
Marsh Lands In Plan To
Eliminate Mosquitoes.
WANT NO TINE LOST
Delaware City, Bethany
Beach Probable Sites;
Work To Start Soon.

Assignment of two Civilian Con-
servation Corps camps to Delaware
was announced in Washington yes
terday. The favorable decision came
after weeks of effort by Governor
Buck and others to persuade the
Federal authorities that this State
was entitled to at least two camps
primarily for mosquito control work.
Director Robert Fechner of Federal
emergency conservation work made
the announcement.
1t is understood that the camps
will probably be located at Bethany
Beach and Delaware City.
The Federal agency will supply
man power, ordinary hand tools. and
trucks for transportation of men and
materials.
1t will be necessary for the State
to provide dredges, diggers, ditching
machinery, boats and barges, and to
make necessary cooperative ar
rangements with private land own
ers of marsh areas, and to maintain
all the improvements. Not much
machinery will be needed.
In order that no time be lost, the
director communicated with Major
r. Y. Stuart, chief of the forest SER
vice, and with Colonel Duncan K.
Major, Jr., of the army general
staff, in charge of transportation of
the conservation army, advising
them of the ALLEGATION of two camps
to Delaware.
It was said at Fechner's Office that
location of the camps would be de-
ci1ed by officials of the forest SER
vice and the army after consultation
with Delaware officials.
Replying to questions as to when
the men will be actually in camp
ready to tackle their big job, officials
of the emergency conservation work
said barracks ought to be construct
ed within two weeks, and occupied
by the men before the end Of this
month.
Under the law, camps are allo-
Gated for periods of six months. In
the case of Delaware, the effective
dates cover October 16 to April Is.
At the expiration of this six months
period, the government may approve
an extension covering an additional
six months.
So far as possible the two camps
will be made up of Delaware boys.
Some $50 Delawareans are now scat
tered in various camps, and in pur-
suance to a general policy the War
is expected to transfer
many of these back to their native
states. -Replacements to the number
of between 1875 and $50 men who
have been signing up in Delaware
will be assigned to the camps in the
state.

IMPROVING STATE

Development Of Rural
Outlets For Traffic Also
Stressed By WV. Mack.

The Delaware State Highway De-
partment believes its future actiy.
tiles should consist of improving
present main roads and developing
rural outlets for traffic, according
to w. w. Mack, the chief engineer
Truck systems in this State are
practically completed.
He added that with a system of
hard surfaced highways practically
completed to connect all important
towns and cities he expects road
building will follow similar lines
throughout the whole United
States.
Regarding roads in Delaware Mr..
Mack said:
1t is my opinion that the future
development of highways in the
United States will consist of the
widening and improvement of the
more important thoroughfares, with
a trend toward the construction of
dual one-way highways on these
routes, the elimination of grade
crossings, and the by-passing of
towns and cities.

CAR is WRECKED

Clarence farrell, II years old, a
young farmer of near FELTON,, was
seriously injured Tuesday night
when the automobile in which he
was riding ran into a Pennsylvania
Railroad freight train at the Haven

According to c. David Christman
who lives near the scene and who
witnessed the accident, FARRELL was
alone in a coupe travelling north at
a high rate of speed. Three ma
chimes had stopped at the crossing
to let the train pass, and FARRELL is
said to have skirted these and
crashed into the next to the last of
the "a cars that made up the train.
Jarrell's car was completely de-
molished and carried down the
tracks for a distance of 80 feet.
FARRELL was crushed under the steer
ing wheel. Christman ran to the
scene and first examination
thought the injured man was dead.
His wife who is a trained nurse,
also ran to the wreck and after an
examination found FARRELL was still
alive. Professor ]. w. Boston as
sistant principal of the local high
school, who was in his automobile
at the crossing, helped to remove
the injured youth from the wreck
age. and then telephoned for the
hospital ambulance, farrell was
then removed to the Milford Emerg-
ency Hospital where his condition
is serious. He is, however, given
an even chance for recovery.
The crossing is protected by a
flashing signal light which residents
of the vicinity said was operating at
the time of the accident.
J. H. White of Delmar was engi-
neer of the train, which was pro-
ceeding to Harrington, and R. G..
Collins of Harrington was conductor.

iniscence About the Long Past

Tenaciously clinging to life, eight
of the thousands of Delaware "boys

in the Civil War, held their annual
reunion last Thursday in Whining
ton.
Originally this reunion was that
only of the Delaware Fourth Regi-

come so few, that the officers of the
regiment association decided in re-
cent years to invite all Civil War
veterans living in Delaware to join
in the reunion.
The eight soldiers met in the G.

about the room, somewhat oblivious
of the business session. Their

Japan resented this, though it was
apparent to every one that, as Sen
ator Borah said, ''tO put an arms
embargo on China and Japan is
to take sides with Japan under the
conditions and circumstances that
exist" The British openly hoped that
the United States would join in the
embargo policy, but there is strong
opposition to this among the MEM

Hamilton Lewis Of Illinois voiced
this opposition in speech in the
senate, warning the nation that APP
plication of an embargo against
both China and Japan or against
Japan alone might involve us in
another disastrous foreign war. He
told his colleagues that Britain al
