CCC WORKERS
DRAINING POND
NEAR LEWE
The Pond Offered MOsqui-
toes Approximately 30
Acres In Which To
Breed.

The bog that formerly was
Whites Pond, on the opposite side
of Lewes, from historic Block House
Pond, is being drained by the CCC
workers under direction of the Mos
quito Control Commission.
While the pond was, until fairly
recent years, a beautiful sheet of
water beside which picnics were
held, and on which jolly skating par
ties used to sway and race. it has in
late years become clogged with cat
tails and marsh growths. With an
adjacent lowland. the pond offered
mosquitoes approximately thirty
acres in which to breed and since
its usefulness as a beauty spot has
long since passed, the mosquito
control work serves to eliminate
prolific breeding place and to re-
claim land for eventual tillage.
"WiIIiam Grove" on the southern
and southwestern banks of the pond,
was the scene of scores of picnics in
the days before transportation i'm
provements made people dissatis-
fed to seek their amusements near
dl uOuiCs
Much of the ground of this low
land area is what is known as
floating marsh" which must be
partially drained and allowed to SOL
idify for a few days before work
may proceed. Several main bitches
have been dug throughout this low
land area, and when they have suf-
ficiently drained this land as to in
sure against cave-ins, a series OF
subsidiary bitches will be dug. To
drain this area. which is seriously
landlocked in a pocket of hills. it
was necessary to cut 1000 feet of 80
inch bitches, in some places 3 feet
deep. and leading directly to the
Lewes and Rehoboth Canal at the
point where Gills Neck Road turns
away from that stream.
Since Whites Pond is natural
amphitheatre. it has been suggested
that a local group be organized to
buy 1t, and when it dries. to locate
there baseball diamond and tennis
court.

DEL MAR VA
FARMERS TOUR
TO CHICAGO
This Is An All Expense
Tour Of Four Days
Sponsored By The Uni
versity OF Delaware.

The Del-Mar-Va Farmers Tour to
Chicago will be made on August IL
even though the quota of 100 is not
reached. However, it will be neces-
sary to charge a slightly higher rate
if there are less than this number
as follows: Is to 40 persons-$32.50
(which is $500 higher than the rate
quoted in the itinerary for 100 per-
sons)-50 to SO persons
(which is SS.45 higher than the rate
quoted for 100 persons). Of course.
should the party number 100 or
more persons at the time of leav-
ing Wilmington, the s26.5O rate will
apply.
This action was taken after con-
sulting with Alex D. Cobb this week
as it was thought it would be much
better to operate the tour at the
slightly higher rate than to disap-
point those who had made arrange
ments to go. There are reports of
many who intend to go but they
have failed to register early. A tour
of SO persons is practically assured
now. Send in your reservation of
$3.50 to the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, Delaware Trust Building,
Wilmington-the extra car be paid
on the train at the time of leaving.
This is an all expense tour of four
days sponsored by the University of
Delaware, leaving Sunday, August
IL. returning Wednesday. August Is.

sylvania Railroad Company, at Will
