Because the materials which were

home economics girls took spe-
cial pride in selecting the materials
for durability as we'll as attractive

garments at a minimum.
Cost OF Garments
The average cost of the garments
was as follows: Dresses. 81 cents
each: slips, SO cents each; shorts.
25 cents each; pajamas, 79 cents
each. Each garment was made ac-
cOrding to the measurements which
had been taken of the person for
whom It was made and in this way,
a careful fit was assured. The
choices of the colony girls were TAX

coming outfits were made as a re-
suit.

The camp at Magnolia, according
to information, will be located on
the property of c. r. johnson and
will adjOin the Magnolia canning
factory. It also will include about
seven acres and will have a water
front. It was understood this lOca-
tion was obtained through the as
sistance Of Mayor ]. X. Sapp of
Magnolia.
Leases Reported Signed
Both sites are said to have been
selected because of their accessible
ity to good highways and water
ways, their sanitary advantages and
water supply. Despite the reluctance
of CCC officials and the commission
to make any announcement of the
location of the new camp sites It is
understood the leases for both have
been signed, that the tools which
will be used in the camps are now
being purchased and that the build
ing materials necessary for the con-
struction of both camps are being
contracted for and that active build
ing operations will start possibly
within two weeks.
It is further understood the camp
now located at Lewes will continue
until the latter part of August but /
that the work being carried on by /
the camp at Slaughter Beach will be /
by the end of this month. /
There has been some discussion OF |
these two camps to the
new sites in Kent county when their
projects in Sussex have been finish
ed but it is generally believed the
Kent camps will be reserved for the
two new companies which are to be
sent into this State. No information
has been received. as far as could be
learned, when the men for these ad-
camps will be sent into
Delaware. Each camp, however. will
consist of one company of 200 men
zach, bringing the total enlistment
or all the CCC camps in the State
o nearly 1000.

NATIONAL HOSPITAL DAY

The Emergency Hospital in keep
ing with all other hospitals of most
of the world. will observe May 18th
as National Hospital Day. On this
day our hospitals are open to visit
Ors, and thousands of people take
their opportunity of becoming better
acquainted with the wonderful work
going on in our institutions. There
are many people fortunate enough
not to have been taken to a hos
pital, and perhaps for that reason
fail to appreciate its worth. But for
tunately there are those who do not
forget.
There are many ways of remem-
bering your hospital. The mere fact
that there might not be someone you
know to go see does not excuse you
from calling at the Office and leav-
ing a gift-anything from a piece
OF linen to a cake Of soap. This OPP
will be given the friends
of the Milford Hospital on Satur-
day. May 11th. Always in cOnnec-
LiOn with National Hospital Day the
hospital has a Donation Day. Don't
think. that because you have contrib

can't give any more. What Won
gave surely didn't hurt that much.
