MOSQUITO DITCHES
DRAIN MARSH LANDS
LeWes Coast Guard Captain Praises
Work OF Control bitches

The quick draining away of the
recent hurricane tides, from the in
undated marsh lands between the
Delaware Bay and the Lewes-Reho-
both Canal, is attributed by the
Lewes Coast Guard Station Captain,
Harry NJ. DerricksOn, to the network
of mosquito control bitches installed
therein. These marshes were almost
completely covered at midday, Fri
day. from the high tides prevailing
in the canal, but with the ebbing
away of the flood waters all of the
area quickly resumed its normal
state; by noon of Saturday only
small, widely scattered pools re-
mained to breed mosquitoes.
Surfman Theodore Mitchell, of the
same station, who has lived a large
part OF his life on the nearby beach
es and waters, stated that, before the
bitches we're installed, such a food
ing as the marshes suffered during
the hurricane would have taken a
month to drain away; prior to the
ditching, he said. the water had to
remain until evaporation, winds, and
slow underground seepage removed
it. meanwhile breeding hordes of
mosquitoes, whereas the present
drainage through the network of
bitches is almost immediate.

Measure of Recovery
Mr.. Hamilton pointed out that the
recovery acclaimed by the Roosevelt
administration is one measured in
higher stock market prices, rising
profits for fewer corporations and
larger dividend payment for their
larger stockholders. But it is also
recovery measured in a higher cost
of living, vastly increased taxes, and
in the hOpelessness of 100000 men
and women still unemployed and TO-
100000 people still dependent upon
government relief"
"If this is the recovery Of which
Mr.. Roosevelt and his propagandists
choose to boast, they are welcome
to it, he said. THAT Is not what
Governor LandOn calls recovery. Il
Is not what the unemployed call re-
covery. And / am sure it is not
what the American people will ac-
