n
Delmarva Peninsula that the Cy-
press Swamp has been and is exi
periencing one of its periodic at
tacks by fire. The extremely dry
months that preceded the present
cenhagration made the fields and
woods particularly vulnerable.
The good rain that fell on this seq
ton a week ago Sunday relieved
the situation considerably, but by
no means entirely subdued the fire,
whose continued smouldering has
enveloped us in a dense smoke-fog.
Among the motor accidents result
ing from the pail OF nearly i'm
| penetrable gloom, was the colli-
sion of a private car with that Of
one Of the Paramount Poultry Com
pany, on the nine foot road west
of Dagsboro, in which the victims
were Lehman Helm, Russell Rog-
ers, and Mr. Wright of Frankford
All three suffered abrasions, lacer-
ations and nervous shock and are
under the care of young DIR. Robert
8. Long, Jr. Mr.. Helm, the most
seriously injured of the trio, is re-
ported to have a broken rib, a
mouth injury and cut knee
& Another collision on Thursday
near Johnson's Corner on the road
to Williamsville, put two young
Georgetown men in the Beebe Hos
pftal at LeWes. G. Massey Gum,
local dealer in modern electric
equipment, had the unique expert
ence of getting lost within short
distance of his local home. Return
ing from an errand south of Frank
ford, he missed the entrance to
town and was unaware of his pre-
dieament until his car was passing
the milk station near Dagsboro. 1t
is wise for motorists to refrain
from night driving unless in cases
of emergency or real necessity un-
til the atmosphere clears.

On Saturday the Frapkford Vol
unteer Firemen's nimble work pre-
vented the spread of two local
fires that occurred almost stimuli
taneously. The first alarm called
them to the property of Mrs. S. j.
near the railroad tracks,
where barn, poultry house, and
small dwelling were completely I
consumed by fire. The little house
was occupied by Julia Graves, who
was employed by Miss Alice Gra-
ber as an assistant in the cafeter-
la at the Eagle Poultry Company.
Besides losing her personal effects
the unfortunate woman lost $95.OO
in cash. At the height of this fire
another alarm was turned in and
part of the equipment was rushed
Milford chronicle., 1941-12-05

around to Thatcher street, where
a barn on the property occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Franklin and
family was afire. 1t is thought that
a live spark blown from the other
fire ignited the dry shingles on the
roof. The men who arrived prompt
ly with the water tank turned sew
eral streams of water on the roof
and soon had the blaze under con-
troll. Little damage resulted, but the
excitement was intense.

Legion Backs League as Part of Americanism
Program; Opens Tomorrow at Belle Isle

The American Legion is back
ing its junior league teams as
part of its Americanism program
again this year and the Is teams
will get underway tomorrow at
Belle Isle.
I'VE are happy that we can
give our boys baseball bats in
stead of guns and train them
to be good American citizens
and lovers of Americas grand
old game" said Hal Shields,
chairman of the baseball COM
mittee.
On the eve Of the new season,
all managers are predicting great
things for their teams. Eddie
Edwards, who has been plotting
sandlot ball clubs for the last Ia
years, and is managing Pittenger
Post team again this year, is
optimistic.
So is young Joe Smaza. who
last year played for the Century
Post team and this year Will start
his first season as a coach. Maurie
Wancour believes his RooSe-Van-

the championship the last two

this season.

larger range of high schools and
intermediates to draw from and
thereby can get better material.
Eddie Edwards was more than
enthusiastic when he spoke about
two of his outfielders, Ralph
Morrison and Jack Temple. Morri-
son is six feet tall and Temple
towers over his mate by one and
one-half inches. They are both
left-handed batters and throWers
and only Is years old.
Edwards believes they are major
league material and expects them
both to be signed by the end OF
the season. He also spoke highly
of Ed Ridge, a catcher who might
become another Mike fresh, anc
of Gerald Riffenberger, a big left,
handler with plenty of stuff.
Edwards is given credit for de.
veloping fresh.
The Pittenger and Terstedt game
