The visitors will be taken on a
tour of Fort Delaware, and plans
will be discussed on the feasibility
of tying into the All-South Centen-
nial of the War Between the
States, scheduled for 1961-1965.
Since funds have been made
available by the General Assembly
to improve Fort Delaware and de-
velop it into a state park, Charles
t. Gallagher, Jr., bridge general
manager, suggested the idea of
possible cooperation with the ALL
South Congress, which is planning
a four-year observance. This will
include special events at historic
shrines in a number of states.
ASSESSMENTS RISE-Replace-
ment of steam engines with diesel
locomotives on the Delnlarva Divis-
ion of the Pennsylvania Railroad
may bring some changes in tax as
sessment practices in the Maryland
half of this railroad town.
For years, Delmar residents had
complained that putting steam en-
gines with their black SCOT depre-
ciated property values. Some years
ago, the Wicomico County Com
recognized that condi-
tion by granting assessment reduc-
tions.
Now, diesel locomotives have re-
placed steam on this division.
Diesels are now no more of a
problem to residents than passing
buses. Carl l.. Waller, county as
SCISSOR, advised the county commits
sioners. He was told to make
further study of the situation and
report to the county officials.

noon of fun and food for young and
old. In addition to the unusually
