A freak wind storm early Sunday
evening did about $4,000 damage
to farm property in the Reynolds
Church district. The twister cut
a path about three hundred yards
wide and extended four miles in
length. The hardest hit was at
the Charles Stout farm where two
large chicken houses, containing
$4,000 eight-week-old chickens,
was completely demolished, to-
gether with stable, machinery
house, meat house. The residence
was unroofed and the contents
badly damaged. Mr.. Stout's loss is
estimated at $4,000. A chicken
house adjoining the Stout farm,
owned by George Holmes, was
blown down. The house contained
10000 chickens, many were killed.
Every outbuilding on the George
w. Jones farm, owned by John s.
Isaacs, was destroyed Other farms
of Mr. Isaacs sustained heavy dam
age. The Hip Roof Farm" owned
by Theodore Reed, had outbuild-
ings destroyed, and at the farm
of Ward Short fruit trees were up
rooted and shade trees stripped of
large branches. The storm then
followed Prime Hook Creek to the
: bay. The total estimated damage
in the section was above $4,000
Milton proper escaped the vino

an effort to interest the younger
people in the corporation. That the
work of caring for the cemetery
located on Chestnut, Walnut and
Mill streets during the coming
years, President COnwell said the
permanent fund should be built up
to such an amount could be invest
ed to carry on maintenance from
year to year. At an early date
public meeting will be called by
the president to interest the peO-
pie. HI. E. Conwell was appointed
to see that the cemetery be kept in
good condition this year. This is
one of the oldest Methodist ceme-
teries in this section of the state,
instituted by Goshen Methodist
/ Church and within it's enclosure
are buried the fOreparents of many
present and past citizens of the
town and community-including
many prominent in the affairs of
the State of Delaware, the county
and town. Owing to the expense
with no income from the burying
ground, the church was unable to
keep the cemetery in creditable
condition. Thus few public spir-
tied citizens took over the manage
ment and proceeded to clear the
weeds away, restore the pathways
and seed grass to the premises,
greatly enhancing the appearance
of this resting place of departed
citizens. The public is asked to
contribute to this worthy enter
prise. Contributions may be made
to any of the above named officers
or directors.

INDIA'S FUTURE
SAID UNCERTAIN
Wholesale Migration Starts
In Effort To Save
Crops

LAHORE, Pakistan, Sept. 6.-W.D
The next 10 days probably
will be the most critical in mod
ern midas history.
Before the middle OF September,
it will be decided whether the in
FAINT governments of India and
Uakistan will disappear in an in
ferno of religious massacre, OF
whether they will be able to bring
order out Of the chaos gripping
big areas Of both .dominions.
The situation is so delicately
balanced that even the weather
may decide events.
The tcansplanting Of at least L.
600, 900 Moslems and non-Moslems
now is in full swing, and if no
serious obstacle appears it should
be completed within 10 days. Every
means of conveyance, from air
plane to oxcart, is being used to
move refugees. Every highway,
road and cowpath linking the east
Hindu) Punjab with the west
Moslem) Punjab is filled with
humanity.
Trains are damned. Passengers
ride on the roof and hang on
the sides.
The idea is to move this vast
populace before famine and epide-
mics begin and in time to harvest
mllllans of acres of crops left I'm.
attended Whether these crops are
harvested before the Monsoon
means the difference between
pestilence and famine and a fooc

While the chase was in progress,
Hinson was repeatedly trying to

complying with the town Or

However, the two men met again

which would function primarily as
a clearing house for inter-Amerl-
can military information, such as
the size of forces, the state o!

They believe this country should

It was emphasized that any plan
adopted at Bogota early next year
would be purely a peacetime pro-
position, and that no one knows
how what command setup might
evolve in the case of an actual at
tack against the western hemis-
phere.
