the first disposal area is being con-
structed at Swedeland near Norris
town. IN a few weeks, construc-

1851 as soon as these disposal
areas are ready to receive the ma
terial dredged from the river.
The Christina River joins the
Delaware 20 miles south of Phila-
delphia and forms the harbor of
Wilmington. The original project
for the improvement of Whining
ton Harbor was the result of the
River and Harbor Act of 1870 and
subsequently, has been modified
many times. The existing project
provides for a south jetty extend
ing 2,300 feet into the Delaware
River, a channel 80 feet deep and
400 feet wide leading to an inner
basin 80 feet deep and 600 feet
wide opposite the Wilmington Mar
inc Terminal. From this point the
channel authorized decreases in
width and depth to Newport, Della
ware, about nine miles above the
mouth.
The Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal is operated and maintained
by the Army Engineers and pro-
vides an inland water route for sea-
going vessels between Reedy Point
on the Delaware River and the Elk
River flowing into Chesapeake Bay.
This waterway reduces the sailing
distance between Philadelphia and
Baltimore about 276 miles. When
the Army Engineers took over the
Canal in 1919, it was IL feet deep
with a 90-foot width. The present
channel is 27 feet deep with ESQ
foot bottom width from the Della
ware River to Elk River and 400
feet wide in the Elk River to deep
water in the Chesapeake Bay with
a total length of 43 miles.
The Army Engineers supervised
the design, preparation Of plans
and construction of a 320-bed Vet
Grams Hospital at Elsmere, near
Wilmington. The Hospital was
completed in March, 1850.

 The process didn't involve any milking" either, according to B. D. Stewart. acting director of the drive. The money just showed up on his doorstep like his bottle of milk every morning.
 Coupled with this donation was a check received by Dr. James c. Ryan, commissioner of education, and third-i in command of the drive. from Troop 10 of the Mariner Girl Scouts for $5. The check was signed by Mrs. Ray R. Hagerup. leader, and Patsy Goforth, the troops President.
 The girls wanted to help with the books when the library was con- structed," said Mrs. Hagerup, but they decided they better help get it built first"
 These donations bring the remain ing amount to be raised down to $3,645.84. Stewart said, almost touching another mark" on its downward trek.

JUNEAU SINGERS TO

Juneau Singers are not resting on the laurels they gathered with their masjerful performance of the Easter portion of Handel's Mes siah last Sunday. Their rehearsal tonight in the Methodist Church at 845 o'clock will find them swing ing on "dry bones" and other secu- lar numbers which they are pre- pairing for a Rotarian Variety Show May 4.
 At a meeting of the Board oi Directors last night it was decid- ed that Mrs. Don McMullin would be asked to lead the group in its next performance. Singers by-laws call for an election of the director for each performance.
 Because of the amount of work facing the group Director Me Mullin has asked that all the mem- bers keep up their good atten- dance records. Newcomers to the community or those who wish to join the group are advised to con- tact Miss Edith Moore, vice pre- sident, at the rehearsals.

are more important than fish"
 Rhode readily admitted he was right in his last declaration, but pointed out that unless the fish were protected, there would soon be no people on Bristol Bay to think about, because the fish would be long gone.
 Actually, the Fish and Wildlite Service could abolish set nets alto gether but because they've been used for Is years or so and been condoned, they'd rather merely try to regulate them, to allow a decent escapement.
 It's a problem every law-making body runs into-no matter what laws are passed to benefit the ma jority, there's always squawk or two.

SET NET RULES BRING COMPLAINT
 FROM BRISTOL BAY

The technically illegal set net, which the Fish and Wildlife Service has for many years condoned be- cause it was used by resident Alas kans too old to clambor into a boat and haul seines, has posed another problem to Clarence Rhode, regional director for the service.
 Set or stake nets are used in rivers, mainly on Bristol Bay, and gill net salmon on their way up- stream when the tide is running. When the tide goes out, the net owner walks out on the flats, picks up his fish, and sells them.
 The service never bothered about taking them from rivers and de- manding they be set outside where they'd be legal. because the take has always been small, and the opera tors usually too old or feeble to make a living any other way.
 But last year high man in the Bay was a set-netter. He took in $4,5O0 And the oldsters are being supplanted by youngsters, who've abandoned their boats to make this sort of quick killing.
 And in recent times nets have been set out end on end, to almost block a river, preventing but little upstream migration-and this in the face of once salmon's in his river, he's technically got the law on his side to go ahead and spawn.
 So this years regulations prohibit set nets more than l50 yards from mean high tide. This would allow fish to go upstream in safety, un- less they hugged the shore-which sor,e do anyway.
 Today Rhode received a letter from a resident of Clarks Point, near Dillingham;, complaining that now the netters don't have chance. And besides, he declared, people

BY the Associoied Press

SAIGON, Indo-C China, Oct. O.
Communicated Indo- Chinese ma.

today in small but violent battles
throughout the Indo- Chinese state
of Wet Nam.
A French military spokesman
said these attacks may signal the
start of the long anticipated
autumn offensive by the Wet
Mini guerrillas of Moscow
trained Ho Chi Mini.
French forces retreating from
the evacuated frontier post OF
Caobang last night made junction
with another column protecting
their retreat. But several Wet
Mini battalions were reported at
tacking a wide stretch of arterial
highway extending southeast to
the main French frontier base al
Langson. One minor French post
was abandoned before the Wet
Mimi assault.
There was a reSurgence of Wet
Mimi guerrilla operations along
the south Annamese coast. Roads
there have been cut and vehicles
attacked. In large, rich. rice
growing region about 100 miles
southwest of Saigon, the Wet
Mini carried out another wide
spread series of attacks. French
Wet Namese posts have been at
