CONDEMNATION - The federal
government filed a petition last
Thursday in U. S. District Court
to condemn 1896 acres of land ad-
jacent to Dover Air Force Base.
which it stated is needed for expan-
sion of the base.
The move follows a similar one
in the same court recently, in
which condemnation of land at
| Churchman's and Airport Roads,
adjacent to New Castle County Air
port, was sought for added Air
Force facilities.
Owners OF the affected land near
the Dover base, Mr. and Mrs. En-
nest Zimmerman and Mrs. Mary w.
Burton, all of Dover, were given 20
days in which to file objections to
( the condemnation proceedings.
+ Both condemnation petitions were
presented by Assistant U. S. District
Attorney James L. Latchum.
GOOD SHOWING - Ernest v
Keith, secretary and General Man
ager of the Delaware Motor Truck
/ Association, announces that the
Motor Truck Industry in the State
of Delaware deserves to be con-
graduated upon it's splendid
achievements, and particularly its
cooperation with law enforcement
agencies.
Mr.. Keith stated that a recent
analectical study reveals that of
the number OF trucks commercial
vehicles) weighed at the main
State Police Weighing Station in
the State covering a period of elev-
en- months during the year 1851,
there were 7O,689 vehicles weighed.
Of this number 854 resulted in ar
rest, and of the S54 only 237 in
volved Delaware owned trucks, ap-
prOximately 1s of 70. This record
proves beyond any doubt that the
operators in Delaware are con-
scious of the weight laws relating
to motor trucks and abide by them

his investigation into the flash fire
on Monday morning which destroy
ed or damaged clothing ready for
delivery to customers at the clean
ing establishment of John Boyer,
operating as Johnny, the Tailor,
las South Governors avenue, Do
yer. Firemen speculated as to whe-
ther one of the notorious torch
sweaters" might have been invoIv-
ed in the blaze.
Mrs. Boyer, wife of the prOprie-
tor, said she was standing in front
of the delivery room when without
warning clothing on a rack burst
into flames. She ran to the Robbins
Hose Company nearby and gave
the alarm. Firemen brought the
blaze under control in a short time
and there was only smoke damage
to the building. Many of the gar
ments in the shop were removed tC
safety.
Fire Chief Boyer gave credit tC
the salvage squad for it's efforts in
saving the building and the con
tents. A second alarm was sent il
by firemen as the building is locat
ed in a cOngested business area
The shop owner said no estimate O.
the damage has been made.
