Rev.James r. Galley, Minister, An
nounces Services For the Week
Walking with God is the best
way to know the mind of God,
friends who walk together impart
their secrets to each other. Noah
walked with God, and God impart-
ed a great secret to him about His
intended destroying of the old
world and saving him in the ark.
Abraham walked with God, and
God took him into the most init
mate relation, saying, "Shall 1 hide
from Abraham the thing which I
do?" There are Christians today
who walk with God, and how often
he sweetly unbosoms himself to
them, at the time of prayer, in the
quiet hour of spiritual meditation
and communion, while pondering
his word, or in the Holy Supper, as
when Christ made himself known
to his disciples in the breaking of
the bread. Let us walk with God;
let us see Him face to face, that
we might the better comply with
His will, and know His Way! The
Mite Society will meet this evening
Thursday at the home of Miss
Beulah Ford, at 7.30.-The weekly

SHAD CATCHES
SO FAR A LOSS
Delaware River and Bay Fish
ermen See Season a Fin
ancial Failure
FISH IN GOOD CONDITION

After two weeks of disappointing
results in shad fishing, Delaware
River fishermen from Woodland
Beach to Delaware City, are hop
ing for a godo break this week, or
in the next two weeks at least, so
that they can make up for finan-
cial losses to date. While the fish
ing was a little better last week
than it had been, the catches were
not large enough for the men to
make expenses They figure that
good catches for ten days to two
weeks will make all the difference
between a successful and a disaS-
trouS season. The warmer weather
may bring about this result. The
water in the Delaware River was
not very clear last week. Clear
water is needed for shad fishing
and it is hoped the river will clear
up this week. What fish are being
caught are in excellent condition
and mainly roe fish. This is the
season of the year that the sturge-
on begin to run also and the fisher
men expect a strike in their shad
nets any day. Pennsville fishermen
have had two sturgeon strikes in
their nets, netting both fish. One
was caught Friday and the other
on Saturday morning. Last season
the shad did not begin to run
strongly until about the middle of
May. For about ten days the men
made catches of so to 80 boat per
tide and while the price was low
by that time the short run mace
the season successful.

ingtOn, d. c.
OTHER SCHOOL NOTES

Definite plans have been made
for the annual trip to Washington
by the Senior class. This trip will
be made by the way of the Penn
sylvania R. R. from Clayton to
Washington and return. This will
be unique, especially for members
of the class, since the trip from
Wilmington to Washington and re-
turn will be made in one of the
new streamline electric trains. Ar
rangements have been made in
Washington to have a bus at the
disposal of the class during their
stay. The itinerary includes such
points of interest as the National
Capital, Congressional Library,
Smithsonian Institute, Art Caller
les, Bureau of Printing and En-
craving, White House, National
Cathedral, and many other muse
ums and public buildings. Side
trips will be made to Arlington
National Cemetery, Geological Gar
den, Mt. Vernon and down the Po-
tomac by boat. This trip will be
taken earlier than usual, namely,
May %, "a, 25, in order that the
members of the class may devote
more time in preparation of their
Glass Night and Commencement
programs.-A first aid talk was
given in the high school auditorium
at a special assembly called on
Tuesday forenoon. This matter
was presented to the student body
in the form of moving pictures.
Remarks were made by Arthur NJ
Potter, executive secretary of the
Delaware Chapter of American
Red Cross. The pictures and re-
marks were both interesting and
instructing.-The third issue of the
student publication, the Spy

are four issues of this magazine
each year, each one being compos-
ed by the students.-The election

girls team for the coming year re-
suited in a tie between Virginia
Darrah and Nancy Slaughter.
These two players will act as CO.

baseball game played at Dover,
Tuesday, April 80, resulted in a
victory for Dover, the score being
6-5. Seven innings were to be
played. but due to the tie score, ten
were played. The team played ex-
cellently through the entire game.
The next game is to be played
with Caesar Rodney at Caesar
Rodney on Friday, May 3. - The
banking results for the week are
as follows: Number of pupils in at
tendance, 1872; number of deposit

Community Six Miles From
Smyrna To Have a CCC
Camp Located There
ANOTHER AT MAGNOLIA


two additional Civilian Conserva-
tion Corps camps which have been
assigned to Delaware for Kent
county, it is understood in reports
coming from LeWes, although
neither the members of the State
Mosquito Control Commission, VINO
met there last Thursday, nor Major
WIS. Corkran, director of the work
were prepared to issue any formal
announcement on the selection of
the sites. The camp at Leipsic, it
is understood, will be established
on the property of John Conrad,
Jr., on the north side of the Leipsic
Creek, east of the road to SMYRNA.
1t comprises approximately seven
acres and formerly was occupied
by the old Richardson and Robbins
canning factory. 1t has water
frontage on the Leipsic Creek.
which will be necessary for the cp-
GRAFTON of the mosquito control
boats. The camp at Magnolia, ac-
cording to information developed
there, will be located on the prop
erty of c. F. Johnson and will ad-
join the Magnolia Gaming factory.
1t also will include about seven
acres and will have a water front
It was understood this location was
obtained through the assistance of
Mayor j. K. Fapp, of Magnolia.
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 re-
luctance of CCC officials and the
commission to make any announce
ment 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 pur-
chased and that the building ma
terials necessary for the construc-
ton of both camps are being con-
tracted for and that active build
ing operations will start possibly
within two weeks. 1t is further
understood the camp now located
at Lewes will continue there until
the latter part of August but that
the work being carried no by the
camp at Slaughter Beach will be
completed by the end of this
month. There has been some dis
cussion of transferring these two
camps to the new sites in Kent
county when their projects in Sus-
sex have ben finished but it is gem
orally believed the Kent camps will
be reserved for the two new COM
panieS which are to be sent into
this State. No information has
been received, as far as could be
learned, when the men for these
additional camps will be sent into
Delaware. Each camp, however,
will consist of one company of 200
men each, bringing the total en-
listment for all the CCC camps in
the State to nearly 1000. 1t has
been stated sites have been survey
ed in New Castle County as pos
sible locations for one or more CCC
camps which may be located in
that section fo the State when the
control work has been
completed in either Kent or Sus-
sex counties. Where these are To-
Gated could not be determined. The
Kent camps will continue the mo-
squito control work and any camps
that may be established later in
New Castle county will take up the
same project.

- ASTERN HIGH basketers, who

afternoon and thereby clinch
the public high school crown
for the second straight season, are
planning to defend their championship
in the annual Washington and Lee
tourney at Lexington early next
month
And if the Lincoln Parkers do enter
the Lexington affair boasting the
District of Columbia crown, they will
not have to contend with opposition
they previously disposed Of in public
high competition. Under a high
school rule here. effective for the first
time this season. when the District Of
Columbia championship team enters
any tourney its series rivals are
barred from participation in that
event.
This will prevent a refghting of
public high battles that have once
been settled. Last year Eastern,
which won the public high title, and
Central each defeated the other once
in the championship series. and when
they clashed in the Washington and
Lee tourney there was much excite
ment in view of the fact it was
rubber game. Had Central won,
EaStern's triumph in the series un-
queStionably would have lost much of
| its luSter.
School authorities passed the new
rule because they feel the team win
ming the championship should not be
called upon TO risk the losing of any
prestige achieved in the District of
