State Work That is Financed
By the w p A Will Be
gin Shortly
WILL EMPLOY 200 MEN

The Works Progress Administra-
tion has requisitioned 40 men for
the start of the Resettlement Ad-
ministration work in Kent and Sus-
sex counties. The work will con-
sist of the planting of trees on
about 5000 acres of ground bought
by the government in the two coun-
ties for game preserves. Mr..
Wright C. Dizer said several hun
dred men would be employed on the
project when it was well under
way. Of the 40 men requisitioned
for early next week, 20 will be talk
en- from the certified unemployed
of Kent and a similar number from
the list of Sussex. While the Re
settlement Administration has
charge of the planning and admin
istration of the work, Mr.. Dizer
said it comes indirectly under the
WPA and the WPA will furnish
the labor through the State En-
ployment Service. Actual tree
planting is expected to start this
week and employment gradually
increased until the planting OF the
5000 acres of land is well under
way. The Delaware State Game
and Fish Commissioners, the State
Game and Fish Protective Associa-
tion and the State Forestry De
partment are interested in the pro-
ject. Work on several of the out
side WPA projects in Wilmington
and New Castle county was re-
sumed, where some sehelter was
afforded many of the projects
which are in the open. The mop
Grafton of course, depends on the
weather. The men who reported
Thursday were sent home. 1t is
expected that all work will resume
full operation shorty.

Visits the Children and Pro-
vides Them a Happy
Christmas
TURKEY DINNER SERVED

Women's Clubs, Oranges, Service
Clubs and other organizations and
numerous individuals provide a
Happy Christmas for the children
at the State Training School at
Stockley. The Christmas program
at the Training School began with
vesper services on Sunday after
noon when the nativity scene was
portrayed by the school depart
ment in the auditorium for all the
children after which some friends
provided a treat of candy for all
which was distributed by Santa
Claus in person. A group of chill
dren sang Christmas Carols at all
cottages and in Georgetown.
Christmas morning Santa visited
all cottages and had a box for
everyone. "A full course turkey
dinner climaxed the festivities.
Four hundred and twelve (412)
boxes were given by Womens'
Clubs. Oranges, Service Clubs,
Church groups and individuals
from all over the state, besides
many boxes from parents and rela-
tives of the children. The Christ
mas observance is cared for by the
Board Of Lady Visitors, twelve in
number, one lady visitor for each
month in the year. Mrs. John B.
Hutton of Dover is general chair
man and Miss Ida Rosa of Milford
is chairman for December. "A treat
of ice cream and a generous supply
of apples for everyone were donat-
ed. Besides the individual boxes
several clubs gave lot of mechan-
ical toys, dolls, games and other
gifts. Christmas trees were trim
med and lighted and decorations of
wreaths and holly provided the
holiday setting at all the cottages.
The children at the school look for
ward to Christmas with eager an
ticipation. Were it not for the
kindness and generosity of all the
kind hearted people who remember
them at this season they would
have little to which they could look
forward. Christmas is the happiest
day of the year. Three hundred
eighty are enrolled at the school at
present; in addition about one
hundred and twenty-five have been
permitted to leave permanently in
homes of relatives or other desir-
able homes where they are helping
to provide for themselves.

WashingtOn-"In celebrating its

strong influence the French have
exercised in the United States, par
ticularly in the Mississippi valley"
says the National Geographic So
ciety. "From the Great Lakes to the
Gulf of Mexico, the region on each
side of the Mississippi is sprinkled
with French names. Towns, rivers,
lakes and forts bear the appella-
tiOns of French saints, of French
monarchs, or early fur traders.
''In the Seventeenth and Eight
eenth centuries, when French towns
were strung like beads along the
banks of the st. Lawrence, the
woods of southeastern Canada
swarmed with coureurs de bois.
These were fur trappers trying to
make fortunes by shipping furs back

Great Lakes; they poured south
ward by hundreds into what are
now Michigan, Wisconsin and Illi-

Frequently accompanying the fur
traders, or exploring the wilderness
alone were groups of blaek-robed
Jesuits, bent on Christianizing the
natives.
'After Joliet and Marquette and
La Sale explored the Mississippi
valley, traders in canoes and fiat

Mississippi, establishing on its
banks trading posts over which flew
the banner of the fleur-de-lis.
"The Mississippi valley not only
received fur traders and Jesuits
from the North, but in the South it
drew settlers from France. exiled
Acadians from Nova Scotia, and
refugees from the French West In
dies. These founded New Orleans,
naming it after the Duke of Or

Rue des Bons Enfants, and French
customs are still so prevalent in the
city that it has frequently been
called the Paris of America
