For Spirited Bond
Campaign Here
Parade On September 16,
Bridge Rally On Sep
tember 21, And COrO-
nation OF Bond Queen

Plans for Milford's participation
in the Third War Loan Drive which
will include parade, and the coro-
nation of the Bond Queen" were
completed at a meeting of the Mil
ford Area Bond Committee on Mon
day evening of this week.
The goal for the Milford area
which comprises Lincoln City,
Houston. and Glendale, has been
set at $750,000 which it is hoped
will be used for the purchase of two
Flying Fortresses, priced at $685.
900 each.
NJ. Haswell Pierce is chairman of
the bond committee with w. F.
McFaul representing the Kent
county side of the town and Mayor
E. c. Evans the Sussex county
side. Mayor Evans is also chair
man for the entire county.
The air raid wardens started a
house-to-house canvass of the area
on the opening day of the drive,
September 8. to urge the purchase
of war stamps and bonds.
A huge parade in which the Fort
Miles band all units of the civilian
defense organization, Company c
of the State Guard. the members of
the 19Sth who are home on leave
and who will have the position of
honor in line of march, and the
Milford Fire Company will partici-
pate is planned for the night of
September 16. The parade will end
at the Fire Company carnival
grounds where a special booth has
been set up for the sale of war
bonds. A well known speaker will
address the crowd at that time
All wardens will make their re-
ports on the bridge in the center of
town on September 21 and the re-
suits will be shown on a thermom-
eter which has been erected there.
A block dance will be held follow
ing the reports with a special
sound system installed to furnish
the music.
The woman in the area who re-
ceives the largest number of votes
will be crowned as Bond Queen of
Milford" in the Milford Armory on
September 80. A well known band
will play for the dance which will
follow the coronation ceremonies.
Mr.. McFaul is chairman of this
special part of the drive, and on
being contacted said the deadline
for entrants in the queen contest
has been set as September 16. No
age limit has been set for contes-
tants.
The list of entrants in the con-
test will be published and also
placed in the lobby of the Plaza
Theatre, and every person who
buys an E. F or G bond is entitled
to one vote for every dollar, thus
if you purchase a $1,000 bond you
have 1000 votes to cast for your
favorite for queen.

made that farmers need not file
their estimates of this years taxes

reason, no penalty is involved for
farmers unless the tax is underes-

cent To come under these provi-
sions. the taxpayer must receive at
least so per cent of his gross in

Income tax payments already

of 1943 tax liability

An Arby fighter plane crashed
into a wood near the village of
Atlanta, five miles west of Bridge

1t exploded, killing the pilot, and
started a forest fire that spread
over a half mile area.
The plane was from the Dover
Army Base, and was operated by
Second Lieutenant E. H. johnson,
20 years old, of Flushing, Long Is
land, ~ Y.
The explosion was heard in
Bridgeville and Seaford, several
miles from the scene of the crash.
The blast together with the fire at
tracted more than a thousand peo-
pie to the scene. They spent hours
looking for souvenirs after the fire
had cooled sufficiently to permit
anyone to go into the woods.
With Other Planes
The plane was one of a flight of
three cruising about the western
side of Sussex county during the
early afternoon. Shortly after 2
o'clock one of them appeared to be

Delaware but not far from the

The explosion and fire followed.
The plane dug a big hole in the
ground in which the motor was
found. The rest of the machine was
blown to bits and small parts were
strewn over an area of a half-mile.
The body of the pilot also was
blown to bits.
Firemen from Bridgeville, Green
wood, and fredericksburg rushed to
the scene together with several
Sussex county fire wardens, but
the intensity of the blaze prevented
them from getting into the woods

crash. Machine gun bullets were
