United States Senator John G.

day afternoon were present, along
with other reelected or newly

Oaths of office. Senator Townsend is

There was some speculation as to
whether a contest would be filed

informally.
Many Delawareans went to Wash

Congressman Stewart take office.
Senator Townsend's family and Con-

One hundred fifty thousand dollars
was set as the tentative objective
for the new Milford Emergency
Hospital Campaign, at the first
meeting of the Initial Committee,
held Sunday night in the Offices of
The L. D. Caulk Company. The OBJ
iective will finally be established at

cry community served by the Mil
ford Hospital, to be held in the
Caulk Auditorium at 1880 next
Tuesday night. One man and one
woman were chosen by the commit
tee to represent each Of the COM
munities.
Plans for the coming campaign
were outlined. It is anticipated that
the appeal will eliminate in the lat
ter part of February. Outlining the
plans Of the campaign, the director,
Dr. Charles A.. Haney, said:
''The work Of the campaign will be
divided into three departments.

paign headquarters have been es-
tablished at the old Marshall Hos
pftaI and a corps of stenOgraphers
are now at work copying lists of all
prospective contributors in South
ern Delaware. II is planned to so
spread the appeal that large num-
Der of people will each be called
upon to make a modest contribution.
If the burden of this project were
to fall on the shoulders of a few, it
would be most difficult to establish
the needed new hospital, but if sew
eral thousand people can each be
to contribute, even
though each contribution is of COM
modest amount, the OBJ
iective can be raised without undue
strain. Moreover. 1t will not be nee
essary for the contributors to give
cash in full Immediately. The con-
tributions will be made payable ov-
er a period of three years and pay
ments will be made quarterly. An
average gift of thirty-six dollars
(S36, will be sought. This will mean
only twelve dollars ($12) year or

tributor. Reduced to such terms, 1t

PORK PROCESSING TAX
AGENT AT DOVER TODAY
Plan To Hold Monthly Meetings
During Winter Season

For the information Of those farm
ers, butchers and retail meat deal
ers who are affected by the process
ing tax which the Federal govern
ment placed on dressed pork over a
year ago in connection with the corn
hog allotment program of the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administra-
ton, arrangements have been made
for a representative of the Internal
Revenue Department to be at the
Kent County Extension ONCE, sec
ond floor of the postOfice building
in Dover, today FRIDAY. January III
between the hours of 8 a. m. and
4:3O p. m.
AS the result of numerous in
0uiries which have been coming into
the extension Office on the various
phases of this dressed pork process
ing tax, County Agent Russell E.
Wilson has arranged with the Will
mingtOn ONCE of the Internal Rev
enue Department for G. Earl Dono-
no, deputy collector, to be in Dover
for one day each month during the'
winter season.
Plan Monthly Conferences
The agricultural extension service
is in no way connected with the, Bill
reau Of Internal Revenue, but these
two Federal departments are coop
Grating with each other in endeav-
oring to place this information on
the pork processing tax before
those TO whom Il may concern. 1t
is for this reason, therefore. that the
service has planned these
conferences, and 1t is hop
ed that number of people in this
section Of the State will avail them
selves Of this opportunity to be-
come better informed regarding this
federal tax.

came effective on November 5, 1888, /

STATE OYSTER
TRADE DANGER
RumOred longing In Mis-

May Cause Action.

Delaware may be shut of entirely
from its profitable oyster exporting
trade If longing in polluted creeks Is
not prohibited, according to intima-
tiOns received by the Delaware State
Board Of Health from the Public
Health Service, Washington.
The Jones, Murderkill. Mispillion
and Broadkill Rivers, according 70
tests made by the State Board Of
Health-due to the dumping Of un-
treated sewage from the towns up
stream-are so polluted as 70 make
unsafe the eating Of oysters taken
from their beds. Already longing In
the Jones and Murderkill Rivers Is
prohibited, except, during certain
seasons, for transplanting to beds in
Delaware Bay.
However, existing laws allow each
individual tonger to take three
bushels daily from the other two
rivers for his own use and not for
sale. The longing of nine bushels q
day Is permitted for transplanting.
Il is this latter practice, with the

Delaware oysters being shipped In

have for many years been insistent
that oysters from polluted streams
must not reach interstate trade
channels and have strongly criti-
eized the Delaware method OF con-
troll.

with suspicion by the Federal
health authorities. There must be

Term NOn-Resident Fee

In the biennial report of ths> State
Board Of Game and Fish Commits
sioners of which former Governor
Robert P. Robinson is president,
submitted to Governor Buck and
members of the Legislature last
Wednesday it is recommended that
the Legislature pass a bill provid-
ing for State wide hunting and fish
ing licenses with a short term fea-
ture for nOn-residents.
In speaking of such a license the
report says: These licenses would
not only provide additional funds
with which the work Of the depart
ment could be carried on, but would
also provide Identification of all
hunters and fishermen. thereby pre-
venting numerous violations of the
license laws"
While the report does not set 1t
out specifically. it is understood the
Commission favOrs a plan for licens-
ed hunters and fishermen to wear
a large tag, similar to that worn by
Pennsylvania licensed hunters.
The report also suggests that the

prohibited at all times. regardless
of where the fish are caught"

Safety ought to be guaranteed to

of Alfred E. Bissell, chairman of the
Delaware Red Cross Chapter, in a
statement made today.
"A place to skate, and informa-

ought to be given to young people

will help to cut down the number
of accidents on the ice, and this

CONSTANTLY FILLED

Although the. Milford Emergency
Hospital was established a dozen
or so years ago for just what its
name implies-an emergency hos
pital-it long since has developed
into a general hospital-and. this IN
spite of itself. for the demands on
it have become general in character
and not only it's staff doctors. but
those of the large surrounding ter
ritory which the hospital serves,
have had cases, year after year, for
which the ordinary emergency hos
pital could not care.
Again, although today the Mil
ford Hospital does receive emer-
gency cases, what does /, use for an
room? Because Of its over
crowded condition, its X-Ray room
has come into use as an emergency
room and its former emergency
room is used as a ward with two
beds in it.
But the X-Ray room does not
serve as an emergency room only.
In times Of pressure, it becomes N
turn a conference room, a room for
the cancer clinic, or a room for al
most any other use than that for
which it was originally intended.
