Locals Will Engage Dover
Indians For The Cham
piOnship Of The North
ern Baseball Division.

The Milford Kernals, a team of
local boys age IL to Is, will play
here tonight, Friday, September 10,
at the Milford Ball Park at 500 P.
NJ, under the lights.
. Local baseball fans will have an
opportunity to see in action some
of Milford's future baseball stars.
These boys won the championship
in their division of Southern Della
ware by recording a record of IL
wins against 8 losses. After finish7
ing in tie with Houston, necessi-
tating a 3-game play-off to deter
mine the winner, Milford won the
odd game thereby putting them in
the finals with Dover who won the
championship in the Northern divi-
sion of the baseball league.
For kids of this age group, the To-
cal fans will see long ball hitting
some fancy fielding and some really
high class pitching, and will give
Milford fans an idea of the brand
of baseball to be expected in the
next few years.
The Dover Indians, winners Oi
the Northern division, are reported
to have a strong team and this pro-
misses to be one of the hardest
fought contest of the season.

Boost In Turkey Crop
Is Expected In State
10000 Birds Are To Be Placed On
Market Report Reveals

According to a report released by
the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, an increase of Is per
cent is expected in Delaware's
turkey crop this year. A similar re-
port states that The number of milk
cows in the state has increased
from $4,000 to $4,000 since June
1948, an increase of 3 per cent.
Delaware turkey growers will
place an estimated 10000 birds on
the market this year. This increase
is indicative of the trend through
out the country, which has an in
crease of 30 per cent in the produc-
tion of the birds. This years crop
of over Al million is second only to
! the crop of 1945, when Al million
turkeys were raised and sold.
With the decline of feed prices
in early 1949, growers began to
raise larger crops of turkeys, and
newcomers were attracted to the in
dustry. This latter fact has been
one of the main factors in heavier
than average losses in most Of the
! states. Indications are that this
years market will be a buyers
market, after heavy sellers mar
ket last year. Last years prices
were the highest on record.
If early intentions are carried
out 25.7 per cent of the birds viii
be placed on the market in October
or earlier. With prices on a down
ward trend, it is possible that more
than this amount will be sold early
in the season. The growers eXpec
tG market 38.1 per cent of thei
crop in November, 2S.5 per cent il
December, and ~ per cent in Jan

Traffic Was Not AS Hea-
Wy AS Expected AS
Thousands Got Early
Start For HOmeward
Trek.

Delaware passed the Labor Day
holidays without fatality and
only a few motor vehicle accidents
in which slight injuries were SUI
fered were reported by police
throughout the state.
The small amount of accidents
was attributed to the early start
that thousands of motorists made
from resorts and vacation points
and also to the fact that the Labor
Day traffic was not as heavy as
police had anticipated.
Threatening skies streaked with
flashes of lightning Monday night
also caused many families to start
for home earlier than they had
originally planned while others re-
mained behind counting on an car
ly start homeward this morning.
4 Hurt in Accidents
Police reported four persons in
iured in motor vehicle collisions
three of the victims being involved
in mishap on the Smith Bridge
Centerville Road about a mile west
of the bridge over the Brandywint
River. The other injury occurred il
Rehoboth Beach during collision
that caused disruption in a power
line for about Is minutes and dark
ened homes in the vicinity Of tn,
bridge over the Rehoboth Canal.
In Wilmington only a few mino
accidents were reported and non
was attributed to the heavy flow o
traffic as the homeward trek wa
at it's peak. Dover reported tTave
was still brisk at 10 p. m, but hat
slackened off somewhat over earli
er traffic. Georgetown and Bridge
4 Vile also said traffic was compare

Police agreed that the holida
travel was not up to expectation
and at the New Castle-Pennsvill
Ferry no unusual congestion wa
reported on this side of the Della
ware River.
Horse Disrupts Traffic

fic problems they were given a
additional headache when a hors

Next Tuesday evening, September

membership of Blue Hen Post No.
64SS, Veterans of Foreign Wars, will
meet for the first time in a home
of their owni Ever since the local
v. F. w. post was formed in the
Spring of 1946, its members have
had their collective sights" set on
acquisition of home of their own,
and now, with construction of new
post home nearing completion, that
goal is about to be realized.
Much has happened since that
Spring evening nearly three and
one-half years ago when ten Mil
ford veterans of World War III ov-
erseas service met at the home Of
James ]. Deputy and made tenta-
tive plans for formation of Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars post here.
After two or three preliminary
meetings, the post was formally or
ganized and chartered, with formal
institution being accomplished in
April 1946 at impressive ceremonies
/ in the auditorium of the Milford
High School. From the very begin
ming, the new post offered full
program of activities, a majority of
which were of benefit to the COM
munity, as a whole, and, largely as
a result of these activities, the post
attained rapid growth, becoming
the largest organization of the Mil
ford area and the largest V. F. w.
post in lower Delaware.
Early meetings of the post were
held at the Milford Armory with
temporary headquarters being
eventually moved to the Hotel
Windsor, where regular meetings
have been held up until recently.

The Recruiting Staff of Battery

approached many young men of
Milford and vicinity in an effort to
build this battery to full strength
in order to compete for the Eisen-

would bring national acclaim, not
only to this battery, but to the COM
munity as we'll. A strong point of
the recruiting argument has been
that for 2 hours of a recruits time
each week, where else can they get
job that will pay from $1.25 to
$500 an hour, depending upon their
capabilities? AS a matter of proof
we wish to list the men, who on the
first of September were promOted
as a result of the knowledge they
received in summer camp, increas-

as $500. Couldn't you use $500 eX-
