AN EMERGENCY
PROCLAMATION
Governor DEGREES 1t Unlaw.
full to Set a Fire in
Marsh or Woods
EXTREME FIRE HAZARD

Governor ]. Caleb Boggs has
issued an emergency proclamation
decreeing that it will be unlawful
to set fire or kindle a campfire
in any Delaware marsh or woods
due to the extremely dry condi-
tions caused by the present
drought. The decree was effective
at noon yesterday, and will re-
main until another proclamation
is issued declaring that the per-
iod of emergency has ended Gov.
Boggs made exceptions for the
beach areas of Delaware Bay and
the Atlantic ocean where fires
may be built under proper super
vision. The action came after
the chief executive received a re-
port of the extreme fire hazard
which exists bcause of the lack of
rainfall from State Forester Will
liam S. Taber. Many areas are de-
scribed as dry as tinder" and a
carelessly handled flame could
cause great damage to life and
property if it were to go out of
control. Citing Section 2111, Title
29 of the Delaware Code which
vests special powers to the Gov
ernor for emergency conditions,
the action was taken, Gov Boggs
declared, to protect lives and pro-
perty in the state. Acting Fire
Marshal William r. Favinger has
also been issuing warnings con-
cerning the dry spell, declaring
that this period has caused one
of the most serious fire threats
in recent years. According to sta
tisticians, the last soaking rain
fell in the state on June 16. Gov.
Boggs' emergency proclamation
follows:
Whereas, the extreme condi-
tions of drouth have affected the
woods and timberlands of the
State of Delaware and have Gre

mer months. According to Miss
Mary NJ. Holland, president, the
following repairs have been COM
pleted by the Silver Eagles, teen
age club of boys who use the club
house for public dances: The new
plaster on the walls of the main
auditorium and committee room
has been put on in shade of
green; all electric wiring has been
renewed, and window cords have
been fixed so that all windows
may be raised without effort. The
club women have had the heat
ducts set into the wall and the
heater mas been put in order, with
the current used by the heater
going through a separate meter
They have also bought new light
fixtures for the auditorium, the
hall, and the kitchen. The club
has also purchased a new sink
and gas hot water heater for the
kitchen. A new front door has
been ordered. This will be differ
ent from the wide wooden doors
used more than fifty years ago
when the club house was built.
A single door with panes of glass
on both sides was the choice of
the committee of club women at
work on the project. The repairs
to the club house are being done
by Medford Potter. The club mem
bers deplore the destruction of
the windows of the club house

with beebe rifles. Although the
windows were recently replaced
they are now being riddled to the
extent that rain can get in and

a few miles north of Yazoo City,
and grew up in a poor farm fam

and sometime at Midnight.
In his early life he was teach

Relatives said he embarked on
his insurance and undertaking ven-
lures following a dream in which
he saw himself giving free hospital
care to members Of his race. lie
knew free hospital care was i'm
possible, said relative, so he talk

him he could start an insurance

1000 friends.
