City Manager
Releases Monthly
Report

1t is interesting to note some of
the statistics from the monthly
progress report of the City Mana
ger to the Mayor and the City
Commissioners. The City Manager
takes the attitude that a larger
police force means less crime.
The table on Part 1 Glasses of
offenses is as follows:
Offenses Reported 1850 1949
Total first six months 2,349 2,719
First three months 1,O83*1,427
Second three months 1896 1892
Change in total for first
and second quarter 16.9% $40
Larger police force
Said Mcclure: "Whereas there
was a $40 increase in the num-
Der of offenses reported in the
second quarter of 1949 as COM
pared with the first quarter, the
same period in 1850 had a TO-
go boost in crime. The 1850
crime increase came during the
quarter that the police force was
cut. back to pre-income tax days."
Though the number of traffic
deaths in 1850 showed a decrease
over the previous year, the second
quarter of each year shows an
equal number of deaths.

House Divided

Regarding a story painted We'd
nesday, July rs, in the Daily Elk
PRESS consisting of information
obtained from Trevor R. Offord,in
which he accused Alma McCloud
of entering his home and burning
clothing belonging to Beatrice
Winslow, Alma McCloud called
for an interview in order that she
might tell her side of the incident.
When your reporter answered
the call Of Mrs. Alma McCloud to
come to her home he heard the
other side Of the story. At the 167
Weakley street address, Mrs. Nc
Cluod related her story: Jimmie

as told by my husband, Trevor,
and l am not his "ex-wife" as he
told the police. It is true he tried
to divorce me, but he lost the ap-
peal because of "no grounds.
Following the divorce proceedings,
l became ill and remained at our
home". "Did you set fire to the
clothes mentioned in my story
yesterday? l asked, Eyes, I did"
was the reply. One thing I must
remind you of, you asked the Elk
press to write your side Of the
story which of course will be my
| assignment, and anything you tell
me will be read by the public,
your friends and the police as well
as your husband, do you under
stand?" eyes, Jimmie, l want
everybody to know the truth about

you burn them? "Well she broke
up my home, and took my hus-

Speaking of the DELAWARE

day that it will be "a vehicle to
tell the general public, both within
our state and throughout the ma
ton, Of the historical, industrial.
.recreational and agricultural ia
cilities of Delaware"
It was also pointed out by Mr..
Rutter that many Delaware writer's
and artists have agreed to contrib
ute to the magazine in the hope Of
making it typical Of the state and
a credit to Delaware. He said that
the first as well as succeeding is
sues of the magazine will carry
articles and pictures by such we'll
known Delawareans as c. A. Wes-
lager, Edwin Kruse Anderson and
Clark M. Lee.
Present plans call for articles on
Colonial New Castle, the Delaware
River Bridge, the Kent and Sussex
Fair and the poultry industry in
the initial issue Of the magazine.
The idea Of 9 state magazine has
long been considered an outstand-
ing means of advertising by many
other states, and with the publica-
tion of Delaware magazine, this
state joins with some seventeen
others in using this medium for
bringing its advantages before the
people of the nation. In an effort
to have the magazine seen in all
parts of the nation, plans now call
for the distribution Of it to librar-
les mall cities OF. more than one
hundred thousand population and
to all college libraries. Chambers
of commerce, governors, YMCAs
and historical societies throughout
the nation are also being consid-
cred as possible sources of distri-
