NAIROBI-A new idea for a
fresh link-up of African terri
tories is intriguing Africans as
far apart as Blantyre in NyaSa-
land and Kampala in Uganda.
The plan was first aired publicly
during the visit of Mr.. Alan Len
nox-Boyd, Britain'S Colonial Sec
retary when he arrived in
Nyasaland recently, fresh from
the big Cabinet reshuffle, to
face an almost impenetrable
wall of opposition to the present
set-up of the Central African
Federation. He found many
Nyasalanders seeking anything
rather than perpetuation of the
link with Southern Rhodesia
and it's predominately European
Government.
The authors of the plan are
seeking, instead, to create a new
Dominion embracing NyaSaland,
Tanganyika and Uganda. This
would, of course, be a grouping
in which African interests were
paramount and the plan def
nitely excludes Kenya and the
threat of White Settler influence
from that quarter.
Economically everything is
against such a plan, attractive
as it may sound to African ma
tionaliStS in the three territories
concerned. The weakest link can
be seen on any map: the north
ern tip of Nyasaland just touch
es southwestern Tanganyika and
virtually no trade passes be-
tween these territories. Never
theless, despite the NyasalanderS
healthy economic relationship
within the existing Central Afric-
an Federation, their antagonism
toward Southern Rhodesia and
suspicion of the way things are
going in Northern Rhodesia leads
many to favor the new plan.
For their part, many Uganda
Africans, fearful that an East
African Federation might yet
be pressured upon them from
Nairobi, would welcome a link
with other countries where Afric-

selves in the near future.
African nationalistS in Tan
ganyika, set back by Britain's
firm rejection of the 1854 U. S.
Visiting Missions recommended
tions toward earlier self-govern-
ment, see in this new plan some
hope for a speedier attainment
of the same end.
Although Mr.. LennoX Boyd
firmly rejected the idea in
Nyasaland, more may be heard
of this concept of an all-African
Dominion between the Capricorn
and the Equator.

made plans for the observance of
the 168th anniversary beginning
Friday evening, November 8. The
anniversary services are being ar
ranged by the pastor, the Rev.
Robert e. Green and members OF
the official board.
The first church was a log meet
ing house. The foundation was
laid at the time George Washing

United States. The Methodist So
ciety was formed at the home Of
Reynear Williams in 1778. This
society was visited by Bishop As

Society in Milford on June 18th,

Ten years later 1888, Joseph Oil
yer, the founder of Milford, donat-
ed a tract of land to the Methodist
Society now known as being locat-
ed on Third and North streets. A
Methodist cemetery was plotted
and Log Cabin Church was built
in the cemetery. The congregation
worshipped in the Log Cabin
Church for 40 years. The church
was lighted by candles and later
by sperm oil lamps. In 1912 a brick
church was built across from the

A record 2S2,7Os,OOO pounds of
commercial broilers were pro-
duced in Delaware last year, ac-
cording to G. Polk Spicer, chief
of the poultry division, bureau of
markets, of the State Board of
Agriculture.
Giving the figures on poultry
production in the boards annual
report, he said the total last year
was 81 per cent above the year be-
fore and 10 per cent higher than
the previous record, in 1851.
Part of the increase last year
was attributed to ''the shift to the
marketing Of heavier bird in
1866. Broilers averaged 3.3 pounds
last year as compared with 80
pounds in 1851.
The report adds: Despite the
sharp increase in the number of
pounds of broiler meat produced,

The Baker candidacy was a de-

The newly elected committeeman
