Guards en-
From All Parts
OF Delaware
At Camp Ray
Earle E. WOrthingtOn,
Milford Youth, Among
Those Cited For Excel
lent Work On Advance
Detail To Camp.

More than 1900 members of the
Delaware National Guard are train
ing at Camp Henry Ray from all
sections of the state.
The various units travelled in con-
voy, and the entire movement Of
the State National Guard was ex-
ecuted without an accident. The
most serious difiiculty was suffered
by the 16Oth Group, commanded by
Colonel Ralph Baker. That group
had five fat tires, three on the trail
er supporting the 40 nm gun, and
the other two on a truck.
When the units began to arrive
at Camp Ray trey found that an
advance unit dispatched to the area
on Thursday of last week had made
considerable progress toward es-
tablishing a camp. The tents that
house the various headquarters
were already erected, with the
foundations of the tents weighing
from 500 to 700 pounds, in place.
Colonel Baker revealed that he
was so impressed with the work
accomplished by the advance de-
tail that he is going to recommend
a commentator for those men who
worked tirelessly to finish the task
by the time the early units began
to arrive. The advance detail unit
was headed by Captain Clifford E.
Hall, Selbyville.
In addition to Captain Hall, five
other men we're singled out for
their excellent work in the advance
detail. They were: Lieutenant Nor
man H. Cannon of Georgetown,
WIO William Taylor of George
town, Sergeant First Glass John
r. Piummer and Sergeant First
Glass Earle E. WOrthingtOn.
Special praise was reserved for
Sergeant First Glass Harold r..
Welch Of Battery c, 193rd Auto
Inatic Weapons, Battalion. Sergeant
WEIGH assumed the duties of first
sergeant for two days without pay.
According to the officers in charge
the sergeant pitched in with the
advance detail and helped lay the
concrete and wood floors and erect
the many tents at the camp.
In commencing the advance de-
tail on their efficient work, Colonel
Baker declared that "This camp is
better prepared at the opening than
any other / have seen."
Both the 198th and 160th Groups
rolled on to the firing grounds as
soon as they arrived at the camp
site. There they unlOaded the
equipment and set up the guns al
once. Of1cers in charge declared
that an hour after the groups had
landed they we're ready to fire. Both
the firing ground and the camp
proper were bee hives of activity

Delaware Power And
Light Company Puts
Up $4,000 Surety Bond
To Permit Increase.

With the posting of a $4,000
surety bond with the Public Service
Commission the Delaware Power
& Light Company is moving ahead
with plans to put increased cleo
trio rates in Kent and Sussex Coun-
ties into effect next month.
The increase, described as an ap-
prOXimate 10 per cent overall rise,
will take effect with the August
reading.
Should the PSC decide against the
increase at a later date, the bond
would be used to provide refunds
to customers in the utility COM
pany's southern division in Della
ware.
The proposed increase does not
affect New Castle County.
A spokesman for the PSC ex-
planned that the power company
invoked a section of the statute
permitting it to place its new rates
into effect-with the posting of a
surety bond-if no action is taken
on the appeal for higher rates
within &c days.
The petition for the increase in
Delaware was filed on May II.
The PSC had suspended the ap.
/ plication for 80 days.
Affected in the requested electric
rate increases are the two counties
in Delaware. two counties in Vir.
ginia, and two counties in Mary
land.
The utility firm has had no in
crease in electric rates in it's south
ern division since 1913 but has haC
voluntary decreases in the rates, i

Draft Deferments

Many Delawareans Will Be Affect

Several hundred Delaware ap-
prentices in skilled trades will be
given the opportunity for draft de-
ferments under a new plan outlined
in detail recently at a meeting in
the Delaware Selective Service
headquarters.
The new setup was seen as hav-
ing an important bearing on the
future of high school graduates or
other young men who can COM

Of the old hunters, and with prac-

II is the well-considered and
studied opinion of the writer that
these statements are right. There
are no two species Of deer In the
Keys. They may be q little smaller
than the Everglades deer. but even
that is very doubtful.
It has been said that these Ell

are so small because they have
been suffering from malnutrition
since prehistoric times. There is
no malnutrition among them and
there is no lack of water. With the
exception Of two or three siclrly
looking ones. which may have been
suffering from some disease, all
the deer observed have been beau
tiful specimens. John d. Dixon,
State Biologist, has found Is feed
plants upon which they feed the
year around.
The writer's experience has
proven these deer to be fairly tame
and quite curious. The writer has
stayed within 1850 feet Of these
deer for as long as Is minutes, fol.
lowing them through the woods and
talking to them in an effort to see
just how tame they would become.
This statement can be verified by

this procedure from q distance.

In conclusion, the question of
solution of how to save the deer
arises. The writer believes this to
be quite simple. A year or more
ago ] was commissioned u. S. De-
putty Game Warden No. 309l. Quite
. few residents Of this area would
consider it an honor and privilege
to be so commissioned in order
that they might help protect these
