MILK WAR WON
BY INTERSTATE
Interstate Milk Producers
Association Captures All
Thirteen Directors
INSURGENTS LOSE 2 TO 1

BY a two to one vote, dairy
farmers have turned thumbs down
on the insurgent attempt to cap
ture control of the Interstate
Milk Producers Association. Cap
turing all 13 directorships for
which the members voted at the
annual election at the Broadwood
Hotel, Philadelphia, June 4, the
present management now has a
firm hold on all 27 seats on the
board of directors. Results of the
election, made known Tuesday
wnen Thomas F. Gain, special
master in charge of the balloting,
filed his report in Common Pleas
Court No. 4, showed that the or
ganization group of candidates re-
ceived 65 per cent. of nearly 1000
shares voted. 1t was a decided set
back for the insurgent group, led
in its fight by the Allied Dairy
Farmers Association, which had
charged the Interstate manage
ment with mismanaging the inter
ests of milk producers. That 35
per cent. of the total vote was cast
in favor of the protest ticket was
heralded by Bernard Frankel at
torney for the rebel faction, as a
"clean indication to the officers and
directors of the association that
many of their members are dissat-
isfed with the way the affairs of
the association have been conduct
ed in the past. Frederick Shangle,
acting president of the Interstate,
however. interpreted the result as
a mandate to continue running
our association so we may retain
their support" Seeking to heal the
wounds left by the past years bat
tie within the ranks. Shangle said
I'VE are asking for the whole
hearted cooperation of every mem
Der to fight our common battles"

Mrs. A. L. Leader Loses Con-
troll of Car and Is Upset
With Severe Injuries
CAR is BADLY DAMAGED

Mrs. Leader, wife of A. L. Lead
er of this town, manager of the
Dover Gas Light Company, was
seriously injured Sunday morning
when her car overturned on the
dupont Boulevard at the intersec-
ton of the boulevard with State
Street and Governors Avenue at
Silver Lake, Dover Mrs. Leader
was alone at the time of the acci-
dent and was motoring to Dover
to meet her husband. She drove
off the concrete road on the soft
shoulder and in trying to get back
on the concrete again, the car
turned over. Her left side was
badly cut and bruised, two fingers
on the left hand were broken, and
she suffered from shock. That she
escaped without greater injuries
was miraculous. A passing mo-
torist stopped and went to her as
sistance and rushed her to the
Kent General Hospital where her
wounds were dressed. She return
ed to her home in Smyrna later
Sunday where at this writing she
is getting along very nicely, much
to the joy of her family and
friends. The car was so badly
wrecked as to be beyond repair.

will be given away. The opening
of a Firemen's Carnival in Smyrna
will, it is hoped, arouse the old
time interest, when in years past
was looked forward to as an event
of more than usual note in Smyrna.
In those days Smyrna, Dover and
Middletown were the centers for
Firemen's Carnivals and crowds
attended from all parts of the two
counties as well as folks from over
on the Eastern Shore of Maryl-
land. Later, smaller towns took
it up and there were carnivals
every where. Smyrna firemen laid
off the amusement game four years
ago but now that interest is being
manifested it was voted to try it
again this year. The committee
hopes to get number of features
to make the carnival attractive

BOY AT BARKER
LANDING SINKS
George Warren, 21, Attempts
to Swim Stream and Drown
ed Without Warming
RESIDENT OF MAGNOLIA

George Warren, II years old,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. William War
ren, of Magnolia, and an employe
Of the Snyder Engineering Com
pany at Barker's Landing, drown
ed shortly after noon Monday. His
body has not been recovered.
Young Warren, with t. D. Com
fort, master mechanic, working
with the same company, were
standing on the bank at Barker's
Landing when the whistle blew for
lunch. It is the custom at noon to
send a barge across the river for
the workmen on the opposite side
to bring them to their lunch. War
ren and Comfort decided not to
wait for the barge, but jumped
into the river with the idea of
swimming to the other side. War
ren was seen to go under the wat
er. He made no outcry and is sup
posed to have either been seized
with cramps or, known to have a
weak heart, possibly the shock of
the water caused him to lose con-
sciousness. The tide at noon was
running very swift and it is be-
lieved his body was carried out
with the tide. Other employees at
Barker's Landing with the engin-
eering company aided in dragging
the river for the body which was
recovered 300 feet from where he
went down late Monday night.
