linquency and crime were given as
well as methods for elimination of
crime and delinquency The Fam
lily, Church and School, the three
main factors in education of the
youth were given as those respon-
sible for the proper training of
youth. The problem child should
be studied by the leaders of every
community for the betterment of
youth. Hervey P. Hall responded
and the club gave a rising vote of
thanks for his educational address.

HAVING GOOD LUCK
AS FUR MARKET GETS BETTER

Rains of the past week have
melted the ice on the inland
marshes sufficiently to permit
trappers to make their rounds
completely for the first time in ap-
proximately four weeks. This win
ter has been one of the worst sea-
sons in years for trappers on the
embarked meadowlands of this
area. From Leipsic, Woodland
Beach and Taylor's Bridge trap
pers, comes the difficulties many
of them had to make the rounds of
their traps. Muskrats are report
ed more or less plentiful but their
inability to get to all of their traps
has sened the quantity of pelts
they may have had. Ever since
Smyrna times., 1939-02-16

the season opened on December l.,
fairly heavy ice has covered the
inland marshes, with a minimum
of trapping as the result. Every
few weeks, however, the marshes
have been free of ice. Prices have
continued to advance steadily since
the season opened, although the
advance has been at a decidedly
slow rate. Prices started on De-
cember L at an average of rs cents
and the average increase from De
cember 1 to the present time has
been 25 cents a hide Buyers Wis
iting this vicinity the past few
days have been offering approx
imately 81 a hide for the general

HIGH 4-LANE
CANAL BRIDGE
by L. S. Government
Says Major Burlin, En-
gineer for This District
CHANGE IN SITE LIKELY

A four-lane high-level bridge
will replace the wrecked bridge
across the Chesapeake and Della
ware Canal at st. Georges, but
not be built at the present site, it
was indicated at a conference be-
tween Maj. c. w. Burlin, U. S. En-
gineer of Philadelphia, with Gov.
Richard c. McMullen, Charles w.
Cullen, president of the State
Highway Commission, and Chief
Engineer w. w. Mack Tuesday IL
Dover. Mr. Cullen said after the
conference that Major Burlin had
left this impression with the con-
ferees although no definite plans
for any type Of bridge or any sur
vey for a site were submitted. All
plans for a tunnel, however, have
been definitely dropped, Mr.. Cullen
said. The change in site would be
necessary if a high level bridge Is
built as such a structure would
have to go over the top of several
houses, he continued. 1t will prob
ably be built in the general vlcin-
ity of st. Georges, however, al
though nc surveys have been made
SO far or any steps taken to select
a site either to the east or the
west of the present crossing, he
said. Major Burlin asked if Della
ware would be willing to contrib
ute any funds toward the con-
struction Of the new bridge. He
was told that question would be
taken up at the next meeting Of
the State Highway Commission,
but that until the commission had
definite plans to consider and had
fully discussed the matter no as
surance could be given that any
state funds would be forthcoming.
The U. S. Engineer seemed anx-
ious to have the bridge built as
soon as possible and was assured
that the State HIGHWAY Depart
ment is equally anxious to have
something done Immediately. IN
dications are that some definite ac-
ton will be taken by early March
