As a follow up of three district
meetings on bread making held in
Kent County last week by Miss
Pearl Macdonald, State Nutrition
Specialist, the extension clubs are
each sponsoring local contest
this month to determine the best
bread makers in their community
Prizes will be awarded for the best
loaf of bread, also, for the best
rolls. Meetings to be held are:
Smyrna, Thursday, November Is;
Cheswold, Friday, November II,
at Mrs. William Davidsons.
The State Highway Department
will very shortly begin the mark
ing by numbers of seventeen of
the more important State routes
and have ordered four hundred
sign numbers for installation. This
beginning will bring about the
eventual naming of all routes by
numbers and instead of designat-
ing a road by the name of the
towns along it such as the Dover
Hartly road, they will hereafter
be known as State Route 10 or
State Route 20. This action is
in line with the policy of most
other states in designating their
roads.

All Men at Works Are In
SIRED Under State
Compensation Act

ASHEVILLE, Feb. 9.-The
seven men. who were buried un-
der an avalanche Of rock and
dirt at the quarry of the Blue
Ridge Lime and Stone Co., near
Fletcher yesterday, were insured
under the State workmen's com,
rensation act, G. N. Henson, ot
Asheville. receiver for the cont
pany, said last night.
Mr.. Henscn said that before
the company was taken over UNI
der the receivership it was owned
by the Central Bank and Trust
Co.. of Asheville.
The company, operating under
the receiver, received a few weeks
ago a contract for $1,000 tons Of
crushed stone to be used in road
work. The men yesterday were
engaged in filling this order when
the accident occurred.
The plant at the quarry had a
capacity of 700 tons day. The
quarry is equipped with two gas
shovels and rock drill for blast
ing. The rock is brought up on
inclined track from the quarry to
a large stone crusher by hoists. 1t
is then screened through 30-foct
by 50-inch scalping screen and
two hummer screens.
Persons at Fletcher recall when
men broke up the stone in the
quarry with pick axes and brought
it out of the hole on wheelbar-
rows.
There are four kilns for burn
ing lime and at least one is kept
burning all the time. The capacity
of the. kilns is 80 tons a day.
The company produces not only
crushed stone but pulverized lime
and air slack lime for agricultural
purposes, mason hydrate and lump

&c the only one that has resulted
in the loss of human life.
"The accident was caused when
recent rains and waSersoaked son
overburdened the shelf If rock
which hung some 20 feet over the
quarry pit. An estimated amount
of 100000 tons of rock and dirt
fell in the slide. The pi, IS more
than 200 yards in breadth and
length and the slide dronped to q
depth of about 125 feet.
stNo information as to the CON
dition of the bodies is aVailabte
At this time. The only evidence
of humanity as yet is bloodstalned
water oozing from the rocks as:
the rescue work continues.
Mills, who had not been un-
nerved by the tragedy which ne
escaped so narrowly. related the
story of the slide as follows:
81 stepped back (from the
other seven men who were en-
gagged in throwing rock into a
rock carr about fifty feet to get
q bick. As | did so, | heard a
noice and looked up. | saw the
rock falling and yelled to the
others to watch out. They sa"
the slide coming and starte6 10
nm but it was too late. They
we're caught by the edge of the
rI;do onJ hurled. I believe the
men are under six feet of dirt
and rock near the edge of the
slide. The rock as it came down
sounded like an earthquake, but
did not hear any of the men make
sound"
w. T. Gibson, of Fletcher, su-
perintendent, was in the COM
pany's office at the quarry tele-
phoning to General Manager klns-
land at Asheville when the slide
occurred. Mr.. Gibson, so grieved
over the tragedy that he could
talk about it only with difficulty,
said that the slide sounded like a
roar. Dropping the telephone re-
ceiver, he rushed from the office
and, with several other men, went
into the quarry pit, but they could
hear no sound. The approximate
location of the bodies was deter
mined however. by information
furnished by Mills, the only sur
vivor land by the blood tricklmg
out from under the rock into the
water, which covers practically
half the bottom of the pit.
Mr.. Gibson Immediately issued
orders that all available workmen
be summoned to the work of re-
covering the bodies, and addition
al equipment, including air drills,
were sent for from Asheville. One
of the two large gas shovels used
in the quarry was put out of COM
mission by the slide. but workmen
had it repaired by late afternoon
and both shovels were operated in
removing the rock and dirt.
The rescue work was handl-
capped at first by the large amount
of water in the bottom of the pit,
but machinery to pump the water
out was soon placed in operation.
