OCEAN CITY, Md, Nov. 30.-The
State Roads Commission, facing the
prospect of midwinter freeze-ups
made it plain today that Ocean
City's new 100000 bridge won't
be completed until around the time
the resorts 1941 season closes.
Despite overtime work, and with
carpenters laboring Sundays and
holidays, commission officials said
the bridge contractor had been un-
able to overcome setbacks suffered
when key employees and skilled
laborers left the job to work on
national defense projects at Nor
folk.
The higher-paid posts drew num-
bers Of men from the bridge early
In October.
Span to Cost $1,000.000.
Crossing Sinepuxent Bay, the
bridge will have 46-foot roadway
and two five-foot sidewalks. From
the present State highway at Her.
ring Creek on the west, it will tie
In with North Division street In
Ocean City.
The contract for the bridge It
self is for s846 ,Oo0-of which about
$4,000 has been spent to date
but construction of approaches and
connections will run the cost to
about 100000.
Despite the bridge delay, Ocean
City officials are already planning
for the 1941 summer season and
are pressing for several new projects
at Maryland's only seaport.

and Walter Brennan in leading

Filmed entirely in Technicolor,

in the wilds of Idaho and several
weeks of studio filming, Northwest
Passage" is reported to be the great
est story of physical fortitude ever
attempted by the screen.
Following the novel which first
ran in the Saturday Evening Post
before becoming a best-seller, the
picture tells the story of a coura.
geous, hardy band of Rogers
Rangers who in 1855 set forth on a
secret mission to wipe out a vii.
lage of marauding Indians. Among
the Rangers are Robert Young as
Langdon Towne, a young artist,

plan to do this by pooling their
savings and buying and racing a
horse Of their own.
Penner is the one of the drivers
whom the others elect to buy and
train their steed. Being a trainer of
pigeons he must know all about
a trainers duties. He happens to be
engaged to the sister of a fellow
driver, and the assignment inter-
feres considerably with the course
of true love, but under pressure he
agrees to neglect his pigeons and
love affairs for the horse business.
Moreover, the horse (although
Penner doesn't know it) is a con-
firmed souse, and can't get above a
gentle lope unless well fabricated
with alcohol beverages. So he runs
a consistent last in each race in
which he is entered, and the odds
on him rise steadily while the taxi
men wait impatiently for the day
when their nag is "ready."
That day proves to be wild in
deed, and affords one of the years
funniest climaxes for comedy fans.
Penner is hilarious as the bewil-
dered trainer, and Betty Cradle is
his charming heroine.

Regular Sailings, Not
Craftsmanship Needed
By Port, Asserts Boyd

The Port Of Wilmington needs
regular ship sailings-not salesman
ship, as he was quoted as saying
in a speech before the Better Bust
ness club Monday night-H. E.
Boyd, manager Of the Wilmington
Port-Traffic association, declared
yesterday.
The traffic manager said:
ct was somewhat surprised Tues
day morning when I read the Star
and the following quotation made
in respect to my speech: THE Port
Of Wilmington needs craftsmanship
as much as it needs anything else.
This was erroneous, for what ]
stated was The Port Of Whining.
ton needs steamship sailings as
much as it needs anything else,"
and I illustrated this fact by the
regular sailings at Norfolk and
stated that goods are shipped from
North Carolina to Norfolk, where
steamers are awaiting the cargo on
a very short time after arrival for
transportating to the commodities
respective destinations; while at
Wilmington we do not have the
regular sailings that Norfolk, our
competitive port has, and that it
was a great pity that generations
ago while Norfolk was building a
port that Wilmington had not taken
the same steps-that the Port OF
Wilmington had only awakened to
the value Of her port within the
last few years and was now max.
ing progress. I illustrated this pro-
gress by figures of cargoes and traf.
