Townsend, April 27-Recent de-
velopments bring the statement
from the officials that three CCC
camps may be withdrawn because
of the lack of funds voted by the
Legislature. 1t will be unfortun-
ate indeed if such a loss to Della
ware must occur. Since these
camps were begun a program of
build, tear down and rebuild has
marked the role of governmental
supervision. One of these camps,
erected near Taylor's Bridge, stood
idle for many months, and was fin
ally razed and used in charging
the training camp at Camp Dix.
Several plans to occupy the camp
at Taylors Bridge miscarried and
it was never used by unit but
drew many visitors to look it over
each week.
Misses Mary and Rose Jean
Guessford, daughters of Mr.. and
Mrs. John w. Guessford, have won
a contest securing for them a trip
to the Worlds Fair as guets of the
Morning News. They had but lit
tie difficulty in securing their
quota and are scheduled to leave
July IL for a three-day trip with
all expenses paid.
Farmers have settled down for a
season of hard work. They are
having an argument in some Sec
tions as between the tractor and
the horse and mule for the great
est service. The most advantages
in every day farm work goes
steadily on despite arguments pro
and con. The issue struck an
even balance a few days ago when
carload of tractors arrived, while
at the same time farm sale had
spirited bidding for several work
horses desired by the farmers.

Bright Outlook Seen
For 1899 Months
Srecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The rubber
manufacturing industry has con-
tinued to pursue during 1898 the
two cardinal policies that have
guided its development for many
years: One, the building of greater
value and service into its products;
and two, the constant search for
new uses OF rubber. accompanied by
extension Of the existing wide fields
In which rubber products are en-
ployed. A. L. Viles, president Of the
Rubber Manufacturers Association,
declared today.
"A recent study of the experiences
of a large number of tires users
who ran an aggregate of about S.
600 900, 900 tire miles last year
showed that in the year the average
tire mileage increased about 6i4
per cent. During the last 10 years
the average increase for this same
representative group has been 76
per cent. incidentally this constant
increase in mileage has been ac-
companied by a decline in prices
that has enabled the average Amer
ican car owner to reduce his annual
tire cost in the last IL years by
some $34, from about $50 to $26
This means that the car owners
money available for other purpose.
and his standard of living have beer
improved by this much.
Other Products Improved.
THE effort to build greater value
into their products has been just
as constant in other divisions Of
the rubber industry as in tires. The
performance and durability of belt.
ing. hose, packings and other in.
dustrial rubber goods have been
improved to marked degree.
"One Of the most OUTSTANDING
products recently perfected is a new
type OF rubber upholstery material
already widely adopted for beds and
seats in railway cars and airplanes
for theater and bus seats.
"Other recent developments include
wider use of rubber conveyor belts
and hose on large projects. The
last year has also seen a marked
expansion in the use of rubber tires
on tractors and other farm imple-
ments. Still another instance OF
the expanding use of rubber is the
increased employment of rubberized
fabrics for various items of clothing

Change in Sugar Control
LEGISLATION Advocated
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Jan. "a plea for
modification Of current legislation
affecting the sugar industry was
voiced yesterday by Joseph F. Alb
bott, president of the American
Sugar Refining Co., in a year-end
statement.
Said Abbott: The sugar quotas
for 1899 recently announced by the
Department of Agriculture-an in
crease over 1938-have caused great
confusion and uncertainty in the
sugar industry.
In the face of a consumption
in 1898 smaller than 1887, the trade
is bewildered by this action. The
year just ended has been unfavor-
able generally in the sugar indus
try, both cane and beet, raw and re-
fined. Prices and profits have suf-
fered. "''
THE domestic cane sugar reflners
continue to be handicapped by the
large amounts of refined sugar COM
ing to continental United States
from Cuba, Puerto Rico. Hawaii and
the Philippines, under quotas fixed
by the sugar control law"
