A traffic light has been placed at
GeorgetOwn-Rehob roads at Har-
beson by the State Highway Com
mission. The light flashes a yellow
light to drivers on the latter road
and red to those coming from Milton.
The light comes on about every sec
ond and is a great safeguard. This

been the scene of several serious ac-
cidents and the light will make
driving safe in this vicinity should
drivers observe its warnings.
The new concrete road from Mil
ton to the Milford -RehobOth road.
via Zion Church, has been completed
insofar as the pouring Of the con-
crete is concerned The shoulders
are being made and it is expected
the road will be opened to traffic |
in q short time. The east portion of |
the road from the colOred cemetery |
to the terminal at Donovan's flling |
station. is open at the risk of those |
using it. This road is badly needed |
and it is hoped the Improvement |
will be continued to BrOadkiln /
Beach, for it is this section that is
almost impossible during the win
Ter months 1t is reported that this
section of the road will be improved
with a loose stone road in the near
future. 1t should be done at once.
Revival services are being con-
tinued at the NJ. P. Church, under
the direction of the pastor, Rev. o.
w. Prince, during this week.
/
chards near town are being trimmed
OF unnecessary branches and those
broken By overloaded fruit last year
are being cut out. This is one of
the best producing orchards in the
county and this fact is due to the
care of the trees.
During the mild weather of the
past few weeks those farmers who
failed TO harvest their crop of corn
are now busy getting it out of the
fodder into their cribs and the fod-
der stacked. Many farmers are get
ting up large piles of wood and in
a short time wood savings will be
in order. In this section neighbors
gather to saw the wood while the
folks prepare a big dinnr
ToE the workers. These are great
social events to the farm folks and {
questions Of state and other topics
lrg discussed. but politics is taboo. '
)lEine the next few weeks each
a IN house, will have the years sup J
llE of wood stacked in the wood I
