san The rector of the parish and
the Rev. Walden Pell II, head

SPRAYING FOR
BETTER FRUIT
Orchards That Are Sprayed
Give Promise of Better
Quality Fruit
OUTLOOK GOOD IN KENT

For the benefit of those fruit
growers in Kent county who have
late varieties of apples in their
orchards, a special spray bulletin
has been prepared by DR.. ]. F.
Adams, plant pathologist for the
State Board of Agriculture and the
University of Delaware, and dis
tributed from the Office of County
Agent Russell E. Wilson within the
past few days. These recent or
chard spray notes are the ninth in
the series of mimeographed bull
letins for this season for the fruit
growers in Kent county, and in all
probability two or three more will
be issued to take care of the late
apple crop. In regard to the dis
ease situation, DR.. Adams staes
that the apple scab infection is
generally under control regardless
of the fact that our frequent heavy-
rains have been materially pre-
venting the adherence of spray on
the foliage and fruit. With con-
tinuation of this extremely wet
weather, however, scab will re-
main a real threat in the produc-
ton of clean crop of apples this
fall, so growers must maintain as
thorough coverage as possible un-

lott, But Meets With Opposition
When the attention of T. w
Wilson, president of the Delaware
Electric Power Company. was call
ed to the petition presented by Col.
George A. Elliott, president of the
board of trustees of the Delaware
Hospital, to the board of directors
of the Street and Sewer Depart
ment of Wilmington requesting
that electric trackless trolleys be
substituted for trolley cars in order
to eliminate noise near the Della
ware Hospital, he pointed out that
such a substitution would require
large expenditures for the pur-
chase of new equipment. 1t also
would result in the scrapping of
the present street cars, and be-
cause of the decreased riding in re-
cent years this presents a serious
problem to the company, he declar-
ed. He added that he was in SYM
pathy with any movement which
would reduce noise not only in hos
pital zones but in all sections of
the city, and would also improve
traffic conditions, and that when
the Street and Sewer Department
takes this matter up with the COM
pany, their communication will re-
ceive careful consideration.

TRUCK DRIVER
RUN OVER BABY
Mr.. and Mrs. RusSells Baby
Left in Stroller, Victim in
Bridgeville Mishap
ROLAND BRAMBLE HELD

So preoccupied by Roland Bran
BILE, 20, of Bridgeville, in backing
truck about a flower bed at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer Rus
sell. Jr., of near Bridgeville, that
he did not notice their little
daughter Betty Lee, left in a stroll
er, the child was crushed to death
by the wheels of the truck. The
accident happened two miles from
Bridgeville Sunday evening. Twice
Bramble backed his truck, giving
most of his attention to flowers.
Suddenly screams from Mr.. and
Mrs. Russell from the house told
him something was wrong. Behind
the truck wheels, the three found
the lifeless body of Betty Lee, be-
side her the broken stroller. An in
vestigation by Coroner Howard E.
Hardesty revealed that the wheels
of the machine had passed over her
body twice. State police placed
Bramble under arrest on an as
sault and battery by auto charge.
He was held under $1,000 bail for
court. At the inquest, conducted
by Coroner Hardesty, the jury re-
turned verdict that in its opinion
"the accident was unavoidable SO
far as Roland Bramble, the truck
driver, was concerned" Bramble,
who lives in Bridgevilie, was leav-
ing after a visit to the Russels.
The child had been placed in the
yard, but Bramble said he did not
see her. Mr. Russell was the first
to notice the overturned stroller,
but it was too late. The accident
caused deep sympathy for the fam
lily. Funeral services were held
from the home of the parents
Tuesday afternoon at 2 O'Clock,
with interment in Bridgeville cem-
etery. Before her marriage, Mrs.
Russell was Miss Irene Hall Of
near Atlanta, Sussex County.
