WPA bitches
ANOTHER YEAR
HolcOmb Says Work in Low
er Delaware Will
Not Stop
$50 MILES NOW CLEARED

The lower Delaware drainage
program of the WPA will be con-
tinued in the new fiscal year, it
was announced last week by Bank
son .Holcomb, who said $50 miles
Of bitches have already been clear
ed to relieve flood and marshy con-
ditions on farming lands. Damage
in the past emphasizes the need
for the work, said Mr.. Holcomb,
recalling that "the State Legisla-
ture refused in its past session to
appropriate money for this frank
ly emergency work" With farm
ers' conditions improving, he said,
he expects they will be able to
handle the maintenance problem.
Cleared bitches will last about two
years without further attention,
he said. Mentioning that some
farmers have exhibited impa-
tience" because they felt the work
was not extensive enough, Mr.. Hol-
comb blamed lack of persons elig-
ible for relief work" He denied
WPA is at fault. Until the WPA
came into the picture" he said,
officially there was no need for
relief in either Kent or Sussex
counties. Not one man in the two
counties was 'on relief He
pointed to the tedious" necessity
of certifying persons for relief
work involving investigation of
every applicant-work that may
be resumed. Relief quotas are
regulated in Washington, he OBJ
served. Private employment has
taken many WPA workers, he add
ed, and these are released as they
get jobs. But in lower Delaware
this work is seasonal and many are
expected to return to WPA. APP
plications through the levy courts
call for expenditures of S136, 700 in
Kent and $4,000 in Sussex for a
year, he said. These have been
forwarded to Washington and ap-
proval is expected.

Find Pep Supplied
by Adrenal Glands

Cleveland.-Five months of re-
search work in the heart of Af-
RIGA has produced sufficient evil
dence to verify a theory that
the adrenal glands, small duct
less bodies above the kidneys,
are the pep regulators" for the
entire animal kingdom, including
human beings.
This was the conclusion of two
prominent Cleveland physicians,
DR.. George w. Grille, head of the
Cleveland Clinic foundation, and
DR.. D. P. Quiring, member of the
clinic staff, upon their return
from the expedition. The evil
dence which they believe verifies
their theory that physical en-
ergy Of all animals depends on
the size of the adrenal glands
was obtained after dissecting
more than 200 animals. ranging
from chimpanzees to elephants.
