Sycamore Blight
DAMAGES Trees

Blight of sycamore trees ha.
been prevalent in Maryland since
the middle of May, causing killing
and dwarfing of new growth ane
defoliation, plant pathologists al
the University of Maryland re.
port. The same disease also at
tacks maple and oak trees, al
though not generally causing as
much damage as it does to syca-
mores.
This fungus disease causes
brown dead areas to appear along
the veins of young leaves. The
spots may enlarge to include the
whole leaf which soon falls tc
the ground. In a wet season, Sc
we're defoliation is common. The
ends of the twigs also may be
killed and small cankers are
formed.
Control of the disease is diff
cult since spraying requires pow
erful equipment capable of thor
oughly covering all the foliage.
Pruning and burning infected
twigs that can be reached is help
full, the pathologists say. They
also advise burning leaves of dis
eased trees, since the fungus can
over winter in infected twigs and
leaves.

Life in the Country
Fish Thot Came From Nowhere

have almost come to believe
in the spontaneous creation of life.
How else can I explain the pres
ence of fish in the wet weather
pond down in front of my house?
was told one day that fish were
swimming about in my pond. But
i didn't believe it. Poor fellow,
II thought. He can't tell a tadpole
from a fish. I didn't even bother
Ito go down and see for myself.
It just couldn't be, because there
lis no way fish could get there.
But now have seen the fish, or
rather. minnows. and I know they
are there. There is whole school
Iof them, and they definitely are
not tadpoles.
Well, they are fish. then. So
what!
I still can't believe it is possible.
This pond. a very small one, fills
in wet weather, and during the
dry summer months usually goes
dry. It is fed entirely by water
that overflows from the fields, and
there is no possible way for a
creek with fish in it to overflow
into my pond.
It is half mile over a hill from
my house to the Potomac River,
and more than two miles from
my pond to Goose Creek. There
would have to be flood such as
no one has ever dreamed of for
either Goose Creek or the Poto-
mac to get into my pond.
Furthermore, there are no fish
ponds, that I know Of, located so
that an overflow would reach me.
I suppose I must be logical about
these minnows. They couldn't
have sprung to life there all by
themselves. During the heavy
rains in the spring fish eggs must
have washed in from somewhere.
Anyway, I've got the fish, so
now I suppose I'll have to begin
carrying water to keep my pond

Nitrogen starvation Of corn costs

RULES FOR SIGNALING
Safety Council Head Lists Rules
for Giving Hand Signals
for stops and turns

Signal for stops and turns
Hand signals are a means of
self-preservation when you are
driving an automobile, as well as a
courtesy to the other fellow" Mr.
Reynolds du Pont, President of the
Delaware Safety Council, said to-
day in an appeal for better observ-
ance of the rules for driver hand
signals.
This appeal is part of a con-
tinuing program sponsored nation
ally by the National Safety Coun-
Gil to impress upon people the
traffic safety rules they must fol-
low, to encourage obedience to
those rules, and to build public sup
port for their enforcement.
Mr.. DUPONT went on to offer the
following rules for signaling either
by hand or by flashing turn signals.
1. Give signals far enough in
advance to allow the driver behind
you to maintain a safe position
at least 100 feet.
2. Signals do not justify your
making an unexpected or illegal
maneuver. It is just as important
to get into the proper lane well
before you reach the corner.
8. Get both hands back on the
wheel before starting to turn.
4. Hand signals are not uniform
throughout the country. A safe
rule is to be prepared for anything
when another driver holds out his
hand.
Failure to signal is among the
ten most common driver violations
in traffic accidents. The man be-
hind can't read your mind = give
him a signal.

TO REMODEL
FARMERS BANK
Work on RemOdeling Dover
Office, Farmers Bank to
Begin Soon
MANY NEW FEATURES

Work on remodeling of the bank
building in Dover for the Farmers
Bank of the State of Delaware will
commence within the next week or
two, it has been announced by Will
liam K. Patton, president of the
bank. 1t will result in practically
rebuilding the present structure
and increasing the size so that it
will cover the entire property. The
roof of the present building will be
razed and the building increased in
height to make it two stories above
ground. This will more than double
the floor areas for bank facilities.
Plans call for an entirely new Safe
Deposit Department, including
vault, to be created in the base
ment, thus leaving the entire first
floor for banking purposes. There
will be an adequate number of in
dividual customers booths and a
conference room for groups such as
executors or corporation meeting.
The first floor will be practically
one large open space, with twice as
many cages as at present across
the south side or back of the pres
ent banking floor. An addition on
the west end of the building will
provide an adequate officers plat
form together with a conference
room for private conversations
with customers. On the second
floor, the plans call for a new
Board of Directors meeting room
and Presidents office, both de-
signed and to be furnished as CO.
lonial rooms. The new large Board
Smyrna times., 1952-03-27

Room can also be used for COM
munity group meetings. Portraits
of all the former presidents of the
institution will be placed in this
room. Space on the second floor
will also provide for an enlarged
Trust Department, the Investment
Department and all of the book
keeping and general work of the
bank. An attractive Employees
Lounge, with a small service pan
try is also included.
Building To Be Air Conditioned
The entire building will be air
conditioned. Elevator service is to
be provided to the Safe Deposit De-
partment in the basement and to
the Trust Department and other
services on the second floor. The
banking space will be entered from
the street by doors at either end of
the building. The structure, when
finished, will be faced with Rock
wood limestone and granite. The
seal of the bank will appear over
each entrance. Over the four win
dows will be medallions symbolical
of Delaware industry and agricul-
ture, chemistry and poultry. Across
the top of the building, the name of
the bank will be inscribed together
with the date of it's establishment
in 1907.
Turner Construction Company of
New York, Chicago and Philadel-
phia is the general contractor.
Massena and du Pont of Whining
ton are the architects. It is ex-
pected that the work of rebuilding
will take about fifteen months.
During this period, arrangements
are being made to carry on bank
ing operations in temporary loca-
ton on Loockerman Street across
from the present banking struc-
ture. 1t is hoped that this will
cause the least inconvenience and
trouble to the customers of the in
stitution and will give the contrac-
tors a better opportunity to speed
the completion of the work.
