REPAIRS ON DO VER-SMYRNA
ROAD FINISHED IN RECORD TIME

What is generally believed to be
one of the quickest highway con-
struction projects in this State was
completed by George and Lynch,
Dover contractors, on the highway
between Dover and Smyrna. The
project involved the widening and
resurfacing most of the south
bound lane of this highway with an
addition of tive feet Of concrete be-
ing placed on the inside of the road
and the surface given black-top
treatment. The project was COM
pleted and the highway was open
ed to traffic on Monday, just nine
weeks after work on it was start
ed. The same type of work in
other sections of the State have
required much longer period At
the time the project was started
early in September, it was thought

RENT CONTROL
NOT CHANGED
EvictiOns Require Wait Of
Six Months; End Not
Contemplated
SHORTAGE OF RENTALS

People who buy houses which
are occupied as rentals must wait
six months to get possession of
them, Charles w. Hardesty, Della
ware o. P. A. director, pointed out
in review of the recently tighten
ed eviction control. Mr.. Hardesty
said the OPA has been receiving
many calls for Qualification of the
eviction regulations. Under the
present regulations, 'it is more
difficult, not easier, to evict a ten
ant in this area. The acute short
age of rental housing units re-
quires that the tenant be given
added protection in the form of
ample time to find another place to
live" Mr.. Hardesty assured ten
ants that the end of rent control in
this area is not being contemplat-
ed. Recent Tightening of our rent
control and eviction safeguards
show that we not only intend to
continue our projections for ten
ants but also to strengthen them, F"
he said.

Christmas Seals Go On Sale
To Help Fight tuberculosis
In America
18TH ANNUAL SALE

In every city, town and hamlet
in the nation today millions OF
homes will receive Christmas Seal
appeals, marking the opening of
the thirty-ninth annual Christmas
Seal sale for tuberculosis funds.
Approximately 1000 tuberculosis
associations affiliated with the Ma
tional tuberculosis Association de-
pend upon the seal sale for their
operational funds in the fight
against tuberculosis. Delaware's S
appeal is signed by Miss Emily P.
Bissell, president of the Delaware
tuberculosis Society, and the
originator of the first Christmas
Seal sale in the United States.
Miss Bissell launched her first seal
sale in 1907 in Wilmington. In
Delaware's seal sale letter this
year, Miss Bissell says in part, "Tu-
berculosis, the Constant Invader, is
with us, but the war against 1t will
be won eventually. How soon this
will be depends largely upon each
citizen as a participating warrior.
christmas Seals will continue the
fight until this age-old enemy Is

that the road might be closed to
traffic until late in the winter. H.
P. George, head of the contracting
concern, said that he hoped to have
traffic back on the road before
Christmas, depending entirely upon
the weather conditions. In addition
to completing this project the local
concern had started another pro-
ject of similalrl type in the north
ern part of the State before the
completion of the Dover to Smyrna
road and it is understood that they
are making fast progress on this
second project. Some highway
workers indicate that the large
amount of road building equipment
maintained by George and Lynch
enabled them to make the swift
progress on both projects.

FINE TALK
Lieut.-Col. Park Huntington,
US Army, Gives Address
at Ladies Night"
EACH GUEST GIVEN GIFT

Speaking on the significance of
Armistice Day, Lieut.-Col. Park w.
Huntington, Chaplain, U. S. Army,
of Wilmington told the members
and guests of the Smyrna Rotary
Club at the Ladies Night" dinner
that someone failed in the years
since the first armistice. We hoped
the world had paid the final Install
ment to the god of war;" he said,
"but we failed to exert our power
in world diplomacy" Because we
were self-centered we rebuilt our
own prosperity. The national sin
of America is forgetting, he stated;
forgetting the past and our obliga-
tion to the present. Speaking of
the cost of the war he said our
shores were never invaded, and
wings of death never flew over our
land, but we learned the fallacy of
being unprepared. 1--WE must arise
to realize we are debtors to the
past and that we are responsible
for our attitude toward youth.
Youth was not made to realize that
their advantages had been bought
with price. Future generations
are mortgaged for years to come.
We are guardians of the present
and must protect and preserve our
national leadership, and impress
on, our children an appreciation of
the blessings of liberty and graft
tude for the bulwarks of democ-
racy; the home, the church, the
public school. We are trustees of
the future and must give, and sac
rifice and suffer to maintain the
peace. What of monuments to our
soldiers? ? he asked and answered:
Veterans want living monuments
youth programs, community CEN
ters, Fairgrounds" We must ex-
ert our influence upon the youth of
America for they will become the
leaders. Those who died have
given their lives to build better
tomorrow he said in closing. The
guest speaker was introduced by
Harvey c. Jones, chairman of pro-
gram. Response was made by
George w. Wright. The program
marked the annual ladies night,
when wives and friends were
guests of club memers. Rev. Rob-
ert e. Green presided and Nelson
Everhart led group singing. Each
guest was presented a glass ivy
bowl. Among the out-of-town

Rowland D. Herdman, director
of the State Board of Health Lab
oratory in Dover, is prepared to
offer diagnostic facilities of the
laboratory to Delaware physicians
whose patients may have tropical
diseases, he has announced. Mr..
Herdman has returned from At
lanta, Ca, where he completed a
six-week course in Laboratory
Diagnosis of Parasitic Diseases" at
the United States Public Health
Services Office of Malaria Control
in War Areas Training and dag
nostic Laboratory. The need for
providing the assistance of the
diagnostic facilities of the state
laboratory is the treatment of
tropical diseases has grown since
service men have been returi.,-G
from the warfi according to Doctor
Edwin Cameron, executive se3re-
tary of the State Board of He.--th.
However, aiding Delaware doctcss
with their diagnostic problem -s
not a new service for the labC
atory. One of the oldest st4.e
Laboratories in the country, it l,as
organized in 1898 for the express
purpose of assisting physicians
with diagnosis and prevention OF
the spread of communicable dis
eases. First located at the Uni
versity of Delaware in Newark,
the laboratory was moved to Do
yer in September, 1924. Mr.. Herd
man has been its director since
1925.
State Has Vectors
Since Delaware has the anopheles
mosquito and flies, both of which
are vectors (carriers), the first of
malaria, the second of other trop-
ical diseases, such as amoebic dys-
entery and so forth, it was felt
that it was we'll for the laboratory
to be prepared to know the dag
nostic laboratory procedures OF
tropical diseases that might be
brought into the state by the re-
turning veterans. The state board
has always endeavored to offer
Delaware physicians the newest IN
laboratory procedures and assist
ance that has been approved by the
