wide double leaf bascule bridge

though it is understood it may be
rushed toward completion in time
for the opening of the resort season
around Memorial Day.
w. S. Grenoble, manager of the
Hotel Henlopen on the boardwalk,

says he is expecting the biggest

Anywhere from eight to ten big

North African Conflict
Recalls Tripolitan War

The recent conflict between Brit
ish and Italian troops in North
Africa has thrust the little town of
Derna into the limelight. Normally,
the fortified Libyan stronghold is
rarely mentioned in the news.
Yet the same Derna or Derne, as
lit is sometimes called, was a focal
point in the struggle between
Americans and Tripolitans at the
beginning Of the last century. The
capture Of that city in April, 1905,
was noteworthy triumph for the
American Navy.
America baked at paying tribute
to the Barbary pirates as the price
of our freedom on the seas. William
Eaton, naval agent to the Barbary
States, planned to depose the gov
ernor of Derne and to place in pow
er ruler more friendly to the
United States. His military leader
was Presley N. O'Bannon, of the
Marine Corps.
With the handful of American
forces at their disposal they knew
that this could not be accomplished.
At Alexandria, Egypt, they organ
lied an expedition composed of
Greeks, Turks, Arabians and the
polyglot of northern Africa, headed
by a few marines, and they set out
for the Tripolitan stronghold.
On their march of nearly 600
miles across the desert the Ameri-
cans met with revolt, dissension
and open mutiny among their fol
lowers, while the lack of food and
water added to their woes. Only
the firm attitude of Eaton, support
ed by O'Bannon and his Marines,
brought the expedition to sue
cesSful climax.
At Derne, the overland party
was reinforced by the crews of
three American gunboats. The sur
render Of the town was demanded.
1t was refused. The Americans and
their allies swept forward, captured
the fortress and turned its guns
upon the enemy, while Lieutenant
O'Bannon of the Marine Corps, and
Midshipman Mann, of the Navy,
tore down the Tripolitan standard
and flung Old Glory to the breeze.
This was the first time the Stars
and Stripes had ever flown over a
fortress of the Old World.

TALL
STRUCTURES
By Rev. c. M. Griffith
Pastor Methodist Church
Cecilton, Md.

Visitors to New York City are
impressed by the way in which the
towering structures of business
have vaulted far above the spires
of the structures of religion.
Particularly are they so impress
ed when they observe old Trinity in
lower Manhattan smothered by
overshadowing Office buildings
crowding in close against the his
toric church.
Today express elevators in those
surrounding buildings shoot you to
such heights that as you look out
from those sky high Office windows
you can glance upon that once
proud church spire and feel how
shrunken into insignificance it has
been dwarfted.
You may rightly ask whether or
not we have here a significant sym
bolism. Is it true that in our cities
business has surmounted religion

HAS FORD The ANSWER?

NEW YORK. After a six
months investigation of airp1ane
manufacture throughout most of
the United States, Edward p.
Flynn, of the New York Post,
found no likelihood of mass pro-
duction by airplane manufacturers.
So he went to Detroit to see
if there was any possibility of
mass production of airplane en-
gines by the automobile COM
panies.
ITO achieve mass production"
Flynn writes, Ford has quietly
undertaken a job which may we'll
prove to be the most important
single contribution to defense
production - development of a
liquid-cooled aircraft motor so
designed that it could be made
in mass production in his gigantic
River Rouge plant.
'It won't mean anything for
1871 of course, but conceivably
it might mean world air suprem-
acy in 1912.
IF the hopes of the Ford engi-
neers are realized, it will be pos
sible within a year to turn out
great quantities of airplane
motors, not by the slow, man
hour consuming processes, which
must be followed in constructing
the aircraft motors now being
built in this country, but In some
thing very much like the assem-
bly-line style that Ford created"
after commenting that some
airplane engineers with whom he
talked elsewhere doubt that Ford
or anyone else can manufacture
plane engines in mass production,
Flynn, still impressed by what he
has seen at Ford's, declares:
"The Ford engineers have
always busted themselves with
heresies-the things that violated
all the rules and simply couldn't
be done. They are doing that now
with the aircraft motor. Henry
Ford may yet prove his boast
that he could make a thousand
planes a day."

CCC Camp to Get Safety Award

The CCC camp at Wyoming be-

The camp will be awarded a GER

this plantation to the company's

Dear Mr.. Editor:
The Senior and the Junior Com
munity League of Horntown, Virgin
ia wishes to thank everyone who help
ed to make their Variety Program
given at the New Church School
Auditorium on Tuesday night, May
26, a success.

full supervision of Miss Nan Byrd, Of
Temperanceville High School was as
usual at it's best; the Pocomoke City
Band under the leadership of Mr..
Richard Martin, retired Army Band
Keader wa all that could be desired;
the technique of the tap dancers was
seemingly faultless; and the vocal Sc
lections were put over in most pleas
ing manner as we'll as the music play
ed by the accompanies. Due to all
these contributions it was a most de-
lightful entertainment and those who
missed it were deprived Of a very
pleasant evening; these all plus the
skit "It happens in every family" full
of humor and reality.
The league is planning another
supper July End. No one has forgot
ten the delicious supper which they
served just before Easter. So good
was the cuisine and so bountiful and
various the provisions of the guests
said "No more, no more, it is so good
and I have eaten so largely, I could
not eat more if I tried to-"
Again we thank all who made their
contribution to the success of the pro-
gram.

Refrigerator Dessert
Gives Happy Ending
To The Dinner

Refrigerator desserts are a boon
to the housewife who answers the lure
of the spring sunshine and goes out
for tennis or golf, walk or work
in garden beds and Borders. These
delicious desserts are quick and easy
to make and really save time that
may be spent outdoors. They can be
prepared hours before they are need
ed, tucked into the refrigerator to
ripen and chill, and then brought out
at dessert time all ready to serve.
And they assure happy ending to
any meal.
