During Past Weekend

The new CCC Camp. S-53, located
ON the Bridgeville-Redden road, near
Georgetown, in the Delaware State
Forest, is arousing much interest
among Sussex and Kent county
residents, and was visited by several
of them during the last week and
over the weekend. This interest is
attributed by Joseph A .Crist, for
estry superintendent of the camp, to
the facts that forestry work on a
large scale is fairly new in Della

around that the camp is so beauti-
fully located amidst the newly ac-

Hugh S. Johnson, who bossed in

BLANKET cut of the work week to 80
hours would bring "a depression
that'll turn your hair grey"
He contends that any relief for
unemployment through work week

care of the jobless. the general says:
There are many ways to disguise
the dole but they are all too expen-

way to keep people alive is direct
cash-paying people money to buy
stuff to eat"
The General made these observa-
tions on Monday-the day he went
off the Federal payroll-in a chat
with the press at Walter Reed Hos

What would you do If you were

direction Of Robert d. Simmons

songs and classical numbers.
The band was greeted by an ap-

the warm afternoon sun made out
door playing somewhat difficult but
each number was enthusiastically
and appreciatiyely received by the
children of the school and the Wis

At the end OF the program the
band and its guests were treated to
dinner in Pennewill cottage after

This was developed on Monday

The commission was in conference

State departments to appear. 1t will

will be submitted to Governor c.

In any event, 1t was authorita-

the total of the budget which was
voted by the Legislature at its reg

biennium ending June 80, 1885.
Governor Buck announced some

Club, Senator John G. Townsend

gave the principal address. In his
many remarks regarding the con-

time, Senator Townsend quoted
from the opinions of many promi-
nent Democrats who have expressed
their utter dissatisfaction at the
manner in which the New Deal and
the new Roosevelt regime is at
tempting to conduct the nations
affairs. According to Senator Carter
Glass, of Virginia, lifelong Demo-
crat, and staunch supporter of JEFF
fersonian principles, he (Glass)
wants to know where the Federal
Government can get money to give
anybody without increasing taxa
tion. He further wants to know If
they get this money, which they
have so lavishly spent. off of trees.
This statement by hitherto staunch
supporter of Democracy was made,
according to Senator Townsend. be-
cause of the reckless manner in
which the Federal Government is
spending the money now remaining
on hand. Senator Townsend also
stated that many other men. nigh in
the ranks of the Democratic party,
are becoming alarmed at the man
ner in which the New Deal is work.

Delaware's Congressional delega-

throughout the State. In addition

candidate for State Treasurer, and
J. Postles Hammond, candidate for

ly certain of success.
While this forecast may seem too
optimistic to be generally credited,
il is nevertheless as close to accur-
ate as any fallible person can pre-
dict, keeping in mind the States
normal Republicanism.
The chief reasons for this fore
cast are three-fold. First, the State
is normally Republican by about
10000 majority. Second, the party is
more united than II has been in
eight years. Third, the Democrats
are badly split behind what Is be-
lieved to be the weakest ticket ever
nominated by them.

Color Scheme On Delaware Road
Signs Used Only After Careful Study

Delaware highways are not dan
gerOus if warning signs are obeyed, "
is the assertion of w. w. Mack, Chief
Engineer of the Highway Depart
ment. Although every effort has
been made ON the Delaware high
ways to notify the motorist of any
dangers, yet many pay no attention
to them whatever. The STOP" signs
that are posted entering main high
ways are frequently disobeyed by
the driver who merely slows up, and
then after the accident has happen
ed, says Il didn't see any one COM
ing and went out on the road" He
did not STOP.
Federal Yellow" the color used
as a background for State and fed
eral warning signs in Delaware, Is
not a hit-or-miss accident selection.
Tests have proven that federal yell
low has greater visibility lends
stronger contrast to black lettering,
and attracts the eye of the motorist
with more rapidity than any other
color or shade.
