ArChaeOlOgists Find That
Algonquin Indians
M ay Have Known
Whites In 1911.

Indications that the Algonquin
Indians of Delaware may have had
contact with white men as early as
1911 are leading members of the
Sussex Archaeological Association
closer to their goal of establishing
the date of the fertile Townsend
Site, near LeWes, which they have
been exploring the past year
These assumptions were brought
out at the annual meeting of the
association last Friday night in the
home Of the secretary, Miss Cath
crime c. MaUIl.
II. Geiger Omwake, head of the
projects committee, supported his
belief that the site dated anywhere
from 1911 to 1860 by the study of
/ designs on shell-tempered clay
( ceremonial pipes found on the
/ Townsend Site. "The designs thai
appear on the aboriginal pipes We
have found strongly resemble those
made by pipe manufacturer of th'
early and mid-17th century," h,
said.
Mr.. OmWake has ascertained tina
the initials "E. b" found on speci
mems are those of an English max
er OF pipes, one Edward Battle, Il
1860. The letters IL. E" are tn
stamp of one Llewellyn Evans,
pipe maker of 1861, he said, an
the earliest date of 1911 is derive
from the era of another pipe-mak
er, Robert Cotton, known to hav
been with the jamestown, Va, frs
settlers.

Construction Work
Begins On TheNew
Phone Office Here
New Building Is Part
Of A Quarter-MilliOn
Dollar Project Chang
ing Local Service To
Dial System.

Construction work started this
week on a new dial central Office
building which will serve Milford
and vicinity, it was announced by
Theodore w. Collins, local manag-
er of the Diamond State Telephone
Company.
The new building is part of a
quarteT-milliOn dollar project Of
changing all Milford telephone
service to dial operation. It is ex-
pected the change will be made
early in the Fall of this year, the
manager said.
THE new building is being con-
structed on a lot at 10S MOntgOm-
cry Avenue, purchased by the tele-
phone company last Summer from
DR.. and Mrs. Oliver ". James.
1t will be a One-stOry brick fire.
proof structure, with a fiat roof,
measuring 80 by 81 feet. The lot
on which it is set is so by 100 feet
and the surrounding ground will
be handicapped.
"We expect the building work
will be completed by June" Mr..
Collins said. This will cost about
$4,000. By May we expect that
sufficient work will be finished so
we may start installing the intri
cate dial switching equipment.
This will cost about $130,OOO.
I'm addition, the company will
spend about $4,000 in building
new cable and wire lines and re-
arranging the present facilities
This sum will also include the in
stallatiOn of more trunk lines t
neighbOTing central offices. It viii
also be necessary to install nev
dial telephones for all Milford sub
scribers, prior to the actua
change to dial operation.
The new office will have a some
