DUCK STAMP FOR.
 YEAR 1885 36 TO. BE WORK OF ART.
Approximately 1900 Sold in Alaska During Past
 Hunting Season

The duck stamp for the 1935-36 hunting season will be another work of art appealing to collectors as well as to sportsmen and conserva- tionists desiring to help in the es- tablishment of waterfowl refuges, officials of the U. s. Bureau Of Biological Survey predicted today in announcing receipt of a new stamp design by Frank w. Benson, according to Hugh W. Perfume, Executive Officer of the Alaska Game Commission.
 MT. Benson, noted American painter who has been called the dean of American duck etchers, de- plcts three canvasbacks in their first sweep through the air after taking off from a placid surface interspered with water plants. The drawing will be forwarded to the Post Office Department, where the complete design will be made.
 The second migratory-b hunt ing stamp will follow the precedent established by the first one, de- signed by J. N. Darling, famous cartoonist Ding" who is Chief of the Biological Survey, and the of ficials expressed an expectation that future stamps will continue to pro- vide a series representing the work of prominent artists.
 Sold at Post Offices
 Like this seasons stamp, which may still be purchased, the one for 1935-36 will be on sale at post offices for $1, and 90 per cent of the proceeds from the sales will be used in acquiring refuge areas in connection with the Bureaus pro- gram of waterfront restoration, MT. Terhune declared The remaining 10 percent is used in administra- tion of the Act of Congress author izing the stamp and requiring that one be in the possession of every person over l6 years of age who hunts ducks, geese, or brant.
 In a recent chock-up of the duck stamp sales in Alaska during the last duck hunting season, it was found that approximately 1900 stamps were sold throughout the Territory, MT. Terhune said.

MILFORD BRIDGE SAFE
". W. Mack Reassnres Taxpayers
That The Bridge Proper Is Safe

Property owners and taxpayers OF
Milford have prepared a petition

cost of repairing the present span.

said Monday night that through a
member Of the State Highway De-
paTtment an effort will be made to
have Governor c. Douglass Buck
view the conditions. Pending this he

vising the repairs, said Monday night

ed, the only damage being to the

WILL LAUNCH CAMPAIGN
AGAINST DIPHTHERIA
10000 Delaware School Children
Stlll Lack Illumination

While fewer diphtheria cases were
reported in Delaware during the first
Line months of 1885 than in any
previous nine month period. the
State Board Of Health is even new
planning to prepare for its annua!
immunizatiOn program among the
estimated 1900 Delaware school
children who did not receive treat
ment during former years. In some
instances the parents o. these chill
dren refused permission, while IN
others they were not enrolled in
school during previous programs.
With the onset OF the cold months,
it is to be expected, State Health
authorities says, that diphtheria,
" hich always lessons IL frequency
during the summer months, will
commence to appear with greater
frequency. Up to the end o. Septem-
ber only IL cases were rep0rted in
the entire State; there were a num-
Ter of former years IN which more
cases were reported during three
n onths periods than in the first nine
months just complet ed.
This comparative freedom from
the disease did not involve the whole
State equally, however, for Kent
county did not report single case
while Sussex reported 6, rural New
Castle 8. and Wilmington q. On
basis of population, Wilmington
should have had less than ono half
of the total Of Al cases reported in
the State.
In the plans now being laid for
the annual immUnization program
the State Board OF Health expects to
nay particular attention to portions
of the state ia which the disease has
been most prevalent. Since diph-
iberia is a cold weather disease, at
tempts will be made to complete the
program as quickly as possible be-
