SCHOOL HOUSE In
USE OVER 100 YEARS
Single Story School at FOrwOOd
Oldest In State

Withstanding the ravages of time
and the elements, the One-room
school building at Forwood, near
Holly Oak, north OF Wilmington, is
rounding out one hundred and thirty
five years Of service to education,
and has the record for being the
oldest school building in Delaware
at this time to be in service.
The single story stone structure
was erected in 1893 the records re-
veal, and as far as could be learned
it has been used continuously for
school purposes since that time.
There is a marble stone near the top
of the building marked "R F 1799."
The original deed for the property
was recently produced. II was writ
ten ON parchment and is In excellent
condition. The wording of the deed
is in such manner that there is no
doubt that the donors OF the land
had a public school system of state
wide scope in mind when the deed
was made.

HIGHWAY DEPT. ACTIVE
In ALL BRANCHES
Planning Many New Projects And
Department Changes

An unusual feat in road building
not previously duplicated in Del
aware has been the laying and cur
ing of concrete during the cold
weather of January on the strip OF
road from Milton connecting with
the Milford -Rehoboth highway. The
new road, which is about four miles
long, has been completed and the
shoulders are now being graded and
will be open to traffic in another
week. 1t is the final link in what
will be U. S. Route so giving a di-
rect highway from Washington and
Baltimore, via the Chesapeake bay
ferries to Rehoboth Beach. The
highway runs through Denton,
Greenwood and Glendale, to the
beach. The completed road will also
give the people of western Sussex
County a shorter and more direct
route to Broadkiln Beach on the
Delaware Bay.
Whenever possible the State High
way Department uses the elements
necessary in building roads from
material produced i'm the state. A
recent instance is noted by W. w.
Mack, chief engineer, in the build
ing of bridges in Sussex County, and
especially the work done on the
Ocean Boulevard between Rehoboth
and Bethany Beach. In the piling
used for the bridges $500 feet of
piling and 92.717 feet of timber were
cut in the county and taken to New
port where cresote treatment was
given; and 9,S52 feet of untreated
piling and 122,SS5 feet of untreated
timber were also used from Sussex
County forests making total of
253.304 feet of wood that was felled
and sawed in that county. The
money paid out was spread among
a large class of residents Of the
State during the entire job.

that Armwood, a negro accused OF

Informs Governor L. :. Made Mistake
In Taking Over state Relief

IL the question of an appropria-
ton to continue the Civil Works Ad-
ministration program is presented
free of ENHANCEMENT with the ques-
ton of an additional appropriation
for the Public Works Administra-
ton. Senator Daniel o. Hastings, of
Delaware, probably will reluctantly
vote for it, but not otherwise, he
said this Monday in letter forward
ed to Governor Buck of Delaware.
Governor Buck had telegraphed
him that some citizens believed that
Congress should provide funds to
continue civil works relief through
the winter, coupling with it the hope
that the senator, if in agreement.
would support the necessary appro-
priation.
Senator Hastings said in his let
ter: "The problem of unemployment
has not been solved, and the cost
involved is so stupendous that it
ought not to have been attempted
without direct Congregational ac-
ton"
In the judgment of the Senator,
the Federal Government made fun

SPEEDY MOTORISTS
MAKE MISTAKES
Because Danger Seems Remote Is
No Cause For Speed

According to the Delaware Safety
Council, one of the greatest mis-
takes a driver can make is to get the
idea that he can safely speed on city
streets i'm the wee small hours when
streets are apparently deserted. The
same principle holds true during the
day in sparsely travelled residential
districts. You approach an inter-
section and IL you know there is lit
tie travel on the cross street you are
tempted to go through without
diminishing your speed. The fact
that you can do this repeatedly
without mishap increases your con-
Rdenee. But some day another car
will be coming along that cross
street and you will be unable to stop
in time TO avoid a smashup. When
danger seems most remote-beware

Administration of Delaware and the
State Temporary Emergency Relief

In Face OF Protests;

Discontinuance OF Civil Works Ad-

in accordance with orders issued in
Washington last Thursday night by
National Administrator Harry l..
Hopkins, would be a tragedy in the
opinion of many of the leading citi-
zens of Delaware, Governor c.
Douglass Buck last Friday advised
President Franklin d. Roosevelt in
a telegram to the Chief Executive
in Washington. At the same time
Governor Buck sent kilograms to
United States Senators John G..
Townsend, Jr., and Daniel o. Hast
ings and Congressman Wilbur L..
Adams, urging their favorable con-
sideration of any legislation in Con-
gress that will make possible exten-
sion of the CWA program.
In the face of Governor Bucks
protest and others from all sections
of the country, Hopkins, at WASH
ington, stuck to the retrenchment
policy announced Thursday night as
a means of making available Civil
Works funds last through February
10.
If Congress supplies the $S50,OOO,-
900 the President plans to ask of it,
Hopkins said, workers Immediately
would go back to the 30-hour week.
Nevertheless, he said, the original
plan to drop 100000 men every
two weeks from February Is until
April 1 would be followed. The re-
duction would start in sections
where spring comes early and other
outdoor work could absorb much
employment.
Governor Bucks messages were in
addition to one Mayor Speer sent to
Congressman Adams urging him to
vote for additional funds, so the
civil works program would not be
discontinued next month. Mayor
Speer informed Congressman Adams
that turning people now regularly
employed back to the relief rolls

County Agents Held Meeting And
Discussed Plans

In connection with the cOrn-hog

is being directed by the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. County Agents Ed. Willim,
Jr., Russell Z. Wilson and c. X.
Snyder, and A. ID. Cobb, assistant
director of the Delaware Extension
service, met in the Kent County Ex-
tension Office on Monday of this
week to discuss plans for condpsting
this corn-hog allotment program in
this state.
The first step which will be taken
in this program will be the selection
in each county of a committee Of
hog growers representing this agri-
cultural commodity. and this COM
mittee will assist the county agent
in planning the methods whereby
this information may be placed be-
fore the farmers as a whole. This
information will be Of particular i'm
pOrtance to those farmers who may
be interested in entering this plan
of reducing the number of hogs and
the corn acreage on their farms in
accordance with this adjustment

AS corn and hogs are not pro-
duced in Delaware in quantities that
may be comparable to the middle
west and other sections of the United
States. it is doubtful if many farm
ers in this area will be in a posi-

JURIST ESCAPES
BURNING HOME
Judge BOyce, Awakened BY Aged
Servant, GrOpeS Way to Safety

Former Judge william H. Boyce
narrowly escaped with his life when
his home on State street, opposite
the Hotel Richardson, Dover, caught
fire early Monday morning. Judge
Boyce and Margaret Gibson, colored,
his aged housekeeper, who has been
servant in the family for many
wears both had to fee from the
burning building in their night
clothes.
Had it not been for the colored
servant Judge Boyce would probably
have suffOcated in his room. He ana
the housekeeper were the only occu-
pants of the house. The woman
awakened to find her room filled with
smoke. She hurried to the room OF
Judge Boyce and awakened him. The
upstairs of the house was so filed
with smoke that both had to grope
their way downstairs to the first
floor in their night clothes. The
smoke was so dense that it was i'm
possible to get back to their rooms
for clothing.
The fire apparently started in the
rear of the basement near the Chin
ney and the flames ate their way to
the roof. 1t was at first thought that
the fire probably started from de-
fective heater but it is now believed
that defective wiring was the cause
of the blaze. Judge Boyce says when
he got to the first floor he threw the
electric light switch on but the lights
were not working.

Councilman Mayhem De-
feated By A Margin OF
Nine Votes.
Little Interest In Other
Wards As No Contests
Were Staged.

Milford voters on Monday after
noon elected two members of City
| Council for terms of four years each
and Mayor for term of two years.
The Mayor was elected at large, but
the councilmen were named from
the Second and Third Wards. In the
Second Ward, C. Donnan Holzmuel-
Ter defeated John E. Mayhem, the
retiring councilman, by a margin OF
nine votes; the vote being Holz-
mueller 1873 votes and Mayhem 124
votes. A total of 262 votes were
cast in the ward, of which two were
placed in the boxes from the First
and Fourth Wards, and for that rea-
son were not counted. The others
were thrown out by the judges.
In the Third Ward, George E. Da-
Wis was reelected without opposi-
tion for a full four year term. No
councilmanic contests were staged
in the First and Fourth Wards.
The fight in the Second Ward de-
veloped into one of the hottest con-
tests staged in Milford in years.
Practically a full vote was brought
out by the friends of each candidate
and both camps seemed to be con-
fident of election as the polls clos
ed. The usual after election alibis
have been going the rounds this
week, and at the organization of the
new Council on Tuesday evening,
the defeated candidate for council
man in the Second Ward appeared
before Council and read statement
in which he claimed that cert5in
persons had voted illegally, and that
the ballots thrown out should have
been counted for him. The state
ment was received for just what it
Vas and the incident was closed,
The vote in the several wards fol-
lows:
For Mayor, Wilson M. Vinyard was
unopposed. in the First Ward he re-
ceived votes; in the Second Ward
pa votes: in the Third Ward 10
votes, and in the Fourth Ward, 4
votes. The vote for councilman in
the Second Ward was Holzmueller,
1873 votes; Mayhew. 124 votes. In
the Third Ward, George E. Davis,
who was unopposed, received 10
votes.
