GRAVEL WALK
AT LAKE COMO
Town Constructing a Safe,
Beautifying Approach to
Lake Como Beach
TO BE FINISHED BY JUNE

The town of Smyrna is con
structing a gravel walk approach
ing the recently constructed beach
at Lake Como. Starting on the
north shore of the lake, the walk
will cross the causeway, follow the
shore of the lake past the Gem
etery, and terminate at the beach.
Much filling in and building up of
the banks will necessarily be done,
according to Mayor Matthews.
When completed, the walk will aft
ford a safe and beautiful access to
the bathing beach, and do away
with the risk of walking through
automobile traffic along the cause
way, he said. The walk will be
approximately three yards wide,
and will be fenced in on either side.
In connection with this work, Mr..
Matthews announced that other
features concerning the beautifica-
ton of the lake area have been
planned, and will be executed in
the near future No definite steps
have been taken toward the re-
placement of the dam as yet, the
Mayor stated, but action in this re-
spect can be expected during the
early spring, with completion well
in time for the refilling of the lake
before the summer swimming sea-
son. Lake Como Beach, with in
creased improvements, is expected
to open in June with popularity
SURPRISING even that of last year.
The bridge and dam were washed
out on September list, just about
three weeks after the dedication of
the new and popular swimming
beach. 1t was estimated that on
one Sunday, seven thousand people
visited the beach.

TO SPEND S2,7OO,OOO IN I941
Diamond State Telephone Company
Planning Construction Activities

Cooperating with all its resourc-

the Diamond State Telephone Com
pany plans to spend nearly $780,
600 during 1941 for telephone con-
struction activities throughout Del
aware, including the cost of essen
tial requirements, additions and
improvements in this local ex-
change area. One of the most inn
portant jobs to telephone users in
this area will be the purchase of
newly developed long distance tele-
phone facilities to provide improv-
ed out-of-town service for this and
other communities in Delaware and
for communities generally within a
5O-mile radius of Philadelphia. The
entire project involving as it does
the purchase and installation of
special equipment in nearly 100
telephone central offices will re-
quire an expenditure of more than
S4 ,OOO, 900 over the next two and a
nail years III the ellIlt LcIiiLOly
that will be served by the new
long-distance switching system. c.
Burton Sypherd, manager for the
telephone company, said that in
Dover, erection of new central
office building viii begin about
March, 1941, and will be completed
in the late fall. Dial mechanisms
and associated equipment will be
installed there and probably will be
ready for service in the summer of
1912. Mr.. Sypherd said that con-
struction expenditures throughout
the State will be for new buildings
or building additions and replace
ments, additions and improvements
to telephone wire and central office
facilities, and for the maintenance
of telephone service at a high de-
gree of efficiency under the double
pressure of normal growth and of
national defense activities.

places, the judges announced the
following awards: first prize the
Wagon Wheel; second prize
Georges Place; Boyer's Tap Room,
third prize, and w. w. Price Com
pany, fourth prize.
More Homes Decorated This Year
Considerably more homes were
decorated by their owners this year
than has been the custom in sever
al years past. A more enthusiastic
Christmas spirit seemed to prevail
here, with colored lights and laurel
used to decorate many homes,
shrubbery and stores. There was
great deal more originality dis
played this year, and according to
the judges, the selection of prize
winners was difficult, so close in
merit were the decorations. Money

1910 REPORT OF
COUNTY AGENT
Annual Report of Extension
Work in Kent County to
Combat Rural Problems
SHOWS COOPERATION

In the 1910 annual report of ex-
tension work in Kent county, which
has been prepared by County Agent
Russell E. Wilson, it is shown that
the extension service is making a
thorough study of the rapidly
changing agricultural problems
and economic conditions which are
having a decided influence on our
entire social order of living, and is
endeavoring to coordinate all state
and federal agencies that are as
ISOLATED with these rural problems.
One of the chief detectives of the
extension service in this new agri-
cultural field, therefore, is that of
helping direct rural people in OBJ
tanning a clearer understanding Of
world and national conditions as
affecting their individual farms
and homes. Along with these
changes in the agricultural and in
industrial fields there came an urg-
ent need for more farm credit to
finance farming operations and to
refinance farm mortgages, as pric-
es of farm crops in comparison with
the increased prices of manufac-
tured goods made it practically i'm
possible for many farmers to meet
their obligations. In view of this
situation the Kent county agent is
cooperating with the various agri-
cultural credit agencies in assisting
farmers to better understand the
facilities which are available
through these different depart
ments. In this connection, how
ever, farmers are advised to keep
from expanding credit beyond a
