Porter, of Wilmington, visited their
mother, Mrs. Eva w. Marvel last

While fishing for sunfish with a
party of friends several weeks ago
at Unicorn Lake, near Millington,
Roland c. Evans had a most
unique experience. He was using
regulation sunfish hook and a
worm for bait when he experienced
a terrific strike. After playing his
strike for fully twenty minutes,
Evans finally succeeded in landing
his quarry. It turned out to be a
six and one-half pound plymouth
bass, the largest of its kind ever
caught in Unicorn, and probably
one of the largest ever caught on
the shore. The lake is under the
supervision OF q. Harrison Tracy,
who is a nephew of the late George
1. Harrison.
Mrs. Charles P. Jones spent last
week with relatives and friends in
Chester and Wilmington.
Robert Higman has returned

ROAD STRETCH
OVER 3 FEET
On Delaware Highway AS the
Temperature Reaches
110 Degrees
"BULGES" ADD TROUBLE

w. w. Mack, chief engineer of
the State Highway Department,
estimates that the average con-
crete highway stretched" three
feet and five inches mile in the
change from 40 degrees in the win
ter to a summer reading of ITO
degrees. This expansion requires
great care in resealing joints since
surface water will drain under the
concrete and cause damage from
freezing. State highways are con-
stantly at the mercy of changing
weather. Hardly a month passes
that some new phase of weather.
zero temperatures, severe thaws,
flood damage-does not arise to
test the wits of the department.
The latest stunt of the weather
man, expanding concrete highways,
is matter of some moment to the
automobile driver, and a source of
real concern to the department.
Forces are called out on short no
tice when heat waves hit the roads
causing "bulges' where unusual
expansion forces the pavement up
ward at the joints. During the
peak temperatures high as 110
degrees on the open road-"bulges"
of as much as 10 inches were found
in concrete paving. Tar material
required constant attention for it
softened and ''bubbled." The sum-
mer broiling adds only another ex-
perience to year that has been
filled with unusual weather condi-
tions breaking almost all records.
The year has included the most
severe winter for some time, heavy
and unusual floods, and serious
rain storms. These come in the
year in which the burden of main
tanning the county roads was add
ed to the departments work. The
record heat has added to the heavy
bill of $500, 900 for winter damage
and the exceptional bill of $3.50, 900
on last September's flood damage.

PART STONE WALL
AT CEMETERY LAID

Places and Trench Dug
For Continuing Work

While work has been held up for
some time on the improvement at
ElmWOOd cemetery, on account OF the
severe winter considerable progress
has been made since the start of this
project. being financed largely, so far
as labor is concerned, by WPA funds.
A short section of the stone wall to
be erected has already been placed
on the right OF the main entrance to
the cen etery. Those who have seen it
are enthusiastic over the prospect for
the identification of the cemetery by
the means Of this and other work that
is to be done.
The fence toward the left of the en-
trance has been torn away and a
trench eXcavated for the foundation
of the stone wall. Quantities Of stone
have also been cut and made ready
for placing as soon as the weather
will permit. Danger of mortar and
concrete freezing has made the work
difficult to carry on in recent weeks.
Recently a contract was given to ii
Raleigh landscape artist TO lay off
the new part of the cemetery for i'm
provament and conditioning for the
Gale Of lots While very little has SO
far been done in the way Of work at
the site. it is expected a number Of
men will be given jobs there as soon
as the weather moderates sufficient
~ to permit.
The city paid $4,000 for % acres Of
land adjacent to the present Come
terry site. and on the west side. Some
60 000 Or WPA money has bppD al
lotted for labor in conditioning the
site and for improvements to the old
