DISASTROUS FIRE

Prompt action of citizens hy-
ing nearby prevented what could
have been a disastrous fire in the
bakery belonging to Eladia La
Iona at East Street near Queen
Cross Street in C'sted, caused by
the explosion of a gasoline engine.
Immediately after the first
alarm neighbors, men and women,
ran to the bakery; some carted
out the bags of flour while others
drew water from a nearby cistern
to put out the flames. The report
was received by the Police De-
partment at 9:05 at which time the
siren sounded. Engines from the
Fire Department were not long in
arriving at the scene but the fire

Larg e Number Present
To Hear Message From
Congressman BOggs
And Sena tor John J.
Williams.

The Active Young Republicans of
Sussex County held their regular
meeting at Georgetown
last Monday evening. An impressive
turn out heard messages from Del
aware's Senator John William and
U. S. Representative Caleb Boggs,
who was the guest speaker Of the
evening.
Congressman Boggs in address,
ing the club said that, Americas
future strength, growth and great
ness depend more on the preserVa-
tion of the twO-party system Of
government than on any other
single factor"
Urging all individuals to take a
more active interest in govern
mental affairs, the Delaware Con-
gresham said, I'VE cannot give a
vigorous demonstration that we be-
lieve enthusiastically in our kind
of government unless an increasing
number of Americans become in
creasingly active in political af-
fairs"
Mr.. Boggs also told the Young
Republicans that there is mounting
evidence that more and more people
are gravely concerned by the i'm
practical, inept and inconsistent
actions of the present administra-
tion, and are looking to the Repub-
ican Party for leadership in the
re-establishment of sound princi-
plesples of American government.
