Well Kept Farm
Records Essential
Is One Way To Start 1857
Profitable

One way farmers can get 1857
off to profitable start is to set up
a workable record of farm expen-
ses and receipts.
w. T. McAllister, University of
Delaware Extension farm manage
ment specialist, says the most prac-
tical reason for a record system is
to accurately. figure federal and
state income taxes.
And a good building and equip
ment inventory worked into the
records makes it possible for you
to determine the amount of yearly
depreciation to deduct from your
taxable income. Making a conser-
vative estimate, McAllister says
you can reduce your income tax by
one dollar for each hour spent on
record keeping.
This goes especially for those
small bills you probably pay often
and don't have record of. After
a year. these bills likely add up to
hundreds of dollars, and since you
might be able to deduct them as
production expenses it's best to
keep a record of the bills.
A good idea is to make the rec
ord family project. Children
might be running their own farms
in a few years, and keeping rec
ords is good training. You can
even pay your wife or children to
keep records and deduct their pay
as legal farm expense.
To-
tural or home demonstration ag-
ents can supply you with record
books. Or you might be able to get
the books from banks, machinery
dealers, and farm loan agencies.

Mammoth Pipeline

Along The Coast
Huge Storage Tanks. VIII
Be Constructed Along
The CoastIine Of Della
ware.

A large-diameter crude oil pipe
line from Delaware Bay to Del
aware and Greater Philadelphia
area refneries will be built by a
new corporation, Cape Pipe Line
Company.
1t will begin at bulkhead about
five miles offshore, and reach land
somewhere on the Delaware State
coast ewhere huge storage tanks
will be built.
Underground pipe lines will car
ry the oil to refineries as far north
as Philadelphia.
The more than 100000 barrels a
day capacity viii save some two to
four tankers and supertankers a
trip up the channel each day.
Tanker capacity runs from 10000
to $4,000 barrels.
Incorporators are Sun Pipe Line
Company, Empire Gas & Fuel Com
pany, subsidiary of Cities Service
Company, and Atlantic Pipe Line
Company.
Announcement was made last
Friday by w. c. Kinsolving, presi-
dent of Sun Pipe Line Company.
Triggering the move is the fact
that supertankers now built and
on the ways, require deeper chan
ne1s than the 40-foot depth which
the Delaware River provides up to
Philadelphia.
While the new pipeline will be
multi-million dollar project, 1t will
be cheaper than dredging the Del
aware to a depth that would permit
the $4,000 to ,000-deadweight-
ton vessels to enter.
Even now some supertankers an
chor in Delaware Bay, and dis
charge part of their cargo of crude
oil into normal-sized tankers be-
fore entering the river.
While engineering studies will
determine dnal details, indications
are that an unloading bulkhead will
be built four to five miles offshore
in water so feet deep or more.
Submarine pipelines will connect
these facilities with extensive tank

Some Say 1t Was Never
Better Than 1t Was
This Season; Shoppers
Were Pleased Too.

While many Milford merchants
are busy either taking inventory
or preparing for it, this week, al
most all were willing to take time
out and discuss the abundant
Christmas business, they enjoyed
this Christmas season. To quote
one-"Business was never better
than it was this Christmas season. -
1t is generally agreed, however,
that business did not start out this
year with a Bang as was gener-
ally expected after Thanksgiving,
and the first week in December
was slow, from then on, however,
the momentum increased, and con-
tinued down through Christmas
Eve. In examining trade journals,
etc, we find that this condition
prevailed over most of the country.
Many merchants are of the
opinion also that properly adver-
tised in advance that it will be
possible to close down on Christ
mas Eve at o'clock instead of at
nine o'clock, as has been the poll
cy here for many years.
Most of the merchants were
shooting at the impressive figures
they made during 1855, and with
few exceptions they equalled them.
An aid on this ambitious attempt
came from the two extra shopping
days this season as against last,
namely the Saturday before Christ
mas and Christmas Eve.
In talks with many shoppers
during the Yuletide rush, we found
that they were with very few ex-
ceptions, pleased with the large
selections carried by the Milford
stores, the sensible prices and the
courteous sales stats.
Free parking facilities generous
Iy arranged by the City Govern
ment who, with the Milford Cham
Der Of Commerce, co-sponsored the
Christmas fete, played an active
part in making Milford the Shop
ping Center of Lower Delaware.
In the next few weeks many of
the stores are planning winter
sales fetes, number of which will
be advertised in the columns of the

town, was killed, as was his young.
er brother, Robert, in a near head.
on collision of a lumber truck and
a car one mile east of Georgetown
on the Georgetown-Rehoboth High
way, Wednesday.
The Terry deaths brought the
auto accident death toll in Del.
aware for this year up to 81. In the
corresponding period of last year
109 were killed, and in all of last
year, ITO.
State police at Georgetown said
the truck, loaded with lumber, was
headed east and the car in which
the brothers were riding was going
west. Investigation is being con-
tinued to determine who was driv-
ing the car, which was nearly de-
molished.
The accident occurred on a curve
The car struck the truck almost
head on. Samuel Murray, 80, OF
Denton, Md, driver OF the lumber
truck, was uninjured in the acci-
dent.
Both of the Terrys were thrown
out of the car when the collision
occurred.
There is some doubt as to the
present residence of the two bro
theirs. They had been living in the
Rehoboth area recently, but are
said to have been preparing to
move to Georgetown.

Christmas preparations of a
young couple and their small son
quickly turned to tragedy at Har-
rington on Christmas Eve when
the 21-year-old father was cleo
trocuted while attempting to ad-
just television aerial at his home.
Frank Howard Kenton who, with
one of his brothers, Ronald, and a
brother-in-law, Burton Smith, was
lowering the TV aerial at his Sec
ond Avenue residence in an effort
to get better reception for Christ
mas when guy wire worked loose
and the pole began to sway in the
direction of power line.
Vollie Gray, Sussex County cor
oner, said Ronald Kenton and Smith
told him they jumped back when
the guy wire came loose and they
saw the aerial pole toppling to-
ward the power line. The line made
contact with the pole Frank was
holding before the latter could
break clear.
Mr.. Gray explained that death
was apparently instantaneous by
electrocutiOn, and he issued a death
certificate to that effect.
When Ronald Kenton and Smith
saw Frank lying PROSTATE, they
summoned the Harrington anbu
lance but before it arrived an auto
was obtained and the victim was
taken to Milford Memorial Hospi-

A family of five persons lost
clothing in flash fire at Dagsboro
last Thursday.
b. w. Hickman, Jr., newly elect
ed chief of the Dagsboro Fire De-
partment, said that $4,000 is a
conservative estimate of the dam
age with S25,0OC worth of the loss
being covered by insurance.
The family, consisting of Fred
erick Baker, proprietor of Tex
AGO service station at DagsbOrO,
his wife, and three children under
school age, had been so eager to
live in their new split-level home
that they moved in about two weeks
ago before it was entirely finished.
They will live temporarily with
Bakers brother, Kenneth, at Days
boro.
"A crew from the Harvey Daisey
Contracting Company were putting
cupboard tops in place shortly be-
fore 8 a. m. when an infiammable
fluid being used burst into flames.
1t is believed that gases from the
fluid were ignited by the pilot light
of the cook stove.
Baker had already left for work
but Mrs. Baker, her three children
and the workmen were forced to
flee from the house. The workmen
left tools worth $500.
The children, including two small
boys, and an infant daughter of six
months were still in their night

SerUicemen, Vets
Face Ins. DeddLine
Must File Inten t ons S,
Claims Etc. BY
Dec. 31st

Armed forces personnel on ac-
tive duty in Delaware and recently
discharged veterans both face an
important deadline on Dec. 81, Will
liam H. Smith, manager of the re-
gIonal office of the Veterans Ad-
ministration, warned recently.
Since April 25, 1851, members of
the armed forces have been entitled
to free indemnity insurance up TO
$4,000. Some individuals on active
duty on or after that date held per-
manent or term plans of insurance.
Where they cashed these policies
or allowed them to LAPSE they auto
matically received the free indem-
nifty protection.
A recent law ends the free in
demnity coverage on Dec. 81, 1856.
In order to secure continuous in
surance protection eligible armed
forces personnel must apply by
Dec. 81 for reinstatement of the
permanent or term policies they
previously held.
These individuals may also apply
for reinstatement of these insur-
ance contracts after Dec. 81, SO
long as this is done within 120 days
after discharge. However, this will
not provide continuous insurance
protection, Mr.. Smith said.
In order to reinstate permanent
plans no proof of good health is re-
quired. Such proof will be neces-
sary when the application is for
reinstatement of a term policy, he
explained.
Mr.. Smith also pointed out that
Dec. 81 is the last day any veteran
discharged on or after Sept. z,
1856, may make application to re-
tain the indemnity insurance.
