C. & ID. CANAL
TO BE WIDER
Boats of Large Size Will Then
Be Able to Use Canal
Between Two Bays
TO MAKE NEW CUTOFF

A recommendation for deepening
and widening of the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal, at a cost of
$127, 100000, has been disclosed by
Col. C. L. Hall, North Atlantic di-
vision engineer, at New York City.
The proposed project calls for in
creasing the depth of the canal to
80 feet and providing width at
the bottom of $50 feet. Other i'm
provements recommended include
a new cutoff channel at the Ches-
apeake and a new railroad bridge
and two high level highway
bridges. Colonel Hall said the new
plans will mean an increase of
S215,000 in the annual mainten-
ance cost for the canal, now set at
$730,000. 1t is estimated the pro-
pose cutoff at Lorewood Grove
curve would save IL miles in sail
ing distance between the canal and
Baltimore.

'MARCH OF DIMES" REPORT
Smyrna Collects $306.54 For Relief
of Paralysis Victims

Smyrna Collects $S06.54 For Relief
of Paralysis Victims
Mayor S. Creadick Ennis, local
chairman for the 1916 March of
Dimes Committee, reports that a
total of $306.54 was collected in
Smyrna for the relief of infantile
paralysis. Of the amount involved,
a total of S239.54 was collected in
bills and small coins, whereas, $67
was collected in the form of chicks.
The sum stated does not include
the money raised by students of
the Smyrna School, nor such con-
tributions collected at The Strand
Theatre. These monies were held
separately by planned arrange
ment prior to the start of the 1946
March of Dimes campaign. How
ever, in the general overall pic
ture, the results are considered
most satisfactory. No definite fig
ures have as yet been obtained as
to the results throughout Kent
County, and the State of Delaware
in the 1916 March of Dimes Cam
paign. 1t is believed, however, to
have been most successful in every
respect. Indications are that Kent
County went over the top figures
of previous years.

STUDENTS HEAR
TALK ON RUSSIA
Institute Speaker Holds His
Audience With Interest
ing Facts
FIRST OF SERIES

Simon M. Davidian, lecturer,
traveller and authority on Eastern
Europe, held the attention of a
large gathering of students in the
auditorium of the Smyrna School
last Monday afternoon. His topic,
This Is the Year For Greatness. I"
IF We and Britain can get along
with Russia we will have peace, if
not, chaos and catastrophe" he
stated in the first of a series of
talks to be given each Monday this
month, sponsored by the Smyrna
Rotary Club. Mr.. Davidian spoke
in the evening to very interested
audience. Member of an Armenian
family which sought refuge in this
country at the time of the persecu-
ton of the Armenians by the
Turks, Davidian told of the offer
of Russia for the Armenians to
live in an area set aside for them
in the Soviet Union. He told of
the $50 races that go to make up
Russia, with each developing its
own culture; there is no racial
problem and no labor problem in
Russia, he said. The problem of
the world is spiritual and moral" T"
he emphasized.
Aims Not Aims
"Of more importance to those of
other countries than our aims are
our aims" the speaker stated. He
said he was not afraid of the size
of Russia but, he is afraid Amer
ica will become disgusted and go
back to its isolationism. Russia
needs the rest of the world and the
world needs Russia. 1t would be
a tracey if America failed to do its
part, he said. Speaking to the
young hearers as a class, he told
them that their generation has the
most difficult job that of winning
the peace"
