or Argentine Envoy

NEW YORK, Jan. 10. (UP)-
The journal Ct Commerce, in
a report from Washington, says
that three US. oil companies have
expressed interest in the plan of
Ambassador Yadarola to speed up
the development and exploitation
of oil reserves in Argentina.
"The companies and the Natio-
nal Oil Monopoly of Argentina
saus the report would grant con-
tracts for exploration without any
risk for the National Oil Monopoly
and without Argentina giving up
her property of oil resources. The
companies we're classified as "im.
p~ortant" by Ambassador Mauricio
Yadarola.
"The payment of oil exploration
works. according to the program
of Ambassador Yadarola would be
made by the National Oil Mono
poly in cash or in oil, and the
oil produced by the exploration
would be delivered to the gov
eminent oil organizations.
The report continues by saying
that the Argentine diplomat con-
siders this plan as an aid to his
country's progress, which imports
around so per cent of their needs
in oil.
Finally Ambassador Yadarola
says: THE shortage of this pro
duct has been a major obstacle
for the economic progress of Ar
pentica".

FALL IN FREIGHT RATES
TO SOUTH AMERICA

LONDON (UP)- The fall in
freight rates over the past year
between South America and Eu-
rope vas underlined today in the
annual report of Walter Wagwick,
Chairman of the Houlder Line Lii
mited.
A year ago ITO shillings to $50
shillings per man was obtainable
by shipping companies for par
GELS of heavy grain from the River
Plate to U. S. continent, while
today the rate is about SIS shillings
to IS shillings but with little de-
mand even at these more or less
nominal quotations.
In reporting on his company's
business with Argentina, Chairman
Warwick said: "a good deal of
congestion and delay was ex-
perienced in certain River Plate
ports during the year under re-
view, due mainly to sporadic labor
troubles, but it is to be hoped that
the strong determined measures
taken by the Argentine Govern
ment may prove effective and
bring about a more settled and
satisfactory state of affairs"

Ondarts said the initiative for

received from any of the countries
to be visited, despite reports to
the contrary.
"We are merely collecting the
debtor balances which some Of
these countries owe Argentina, by
buying from them the things we
need" he said.
argentina has opened recipro-
cal credits with these countries but
so far has not used them fully
because our way of buying things
does not suit the selling practices
in vogue in those countries.
"We are not going to buy from

Gated at Church HILL"
Where was that?"
Bobby, Church Hill was located
| between Milford and Harrington
about where the sign is now which
says Church Hill Village
"Oh, yes, | know%where that is
there are some houses"
Exactly, Parson Thorne, as he
has been called, bought a farm OF
307 acres west of Tanners Branch,
now called Mullett Run, and built
handsome brick residence on the
high ground. This mansion is still
standing on North West Front
Street and is known as Silver Hill
Farm. Since his land adjoined JOS
eph divers plantation at Tanners
Branch, the two men became
neighbors. Parson Thorne also was
very enterprising man. To him
is due the credit of laying out the
own on Mr. divers farm
Why didn't he use his own
Iand?"
Just be patient, Bobby, and you
will find out. Evidently Mr.. Thorne
saw the possibilities of the loca-
ton as an active bL siness center.
He approached Mr.. Oliver and
offered to build dam across the
river at his own expense with the
understanding that Oliver should
lave his farm surveyed ifto
building lots.
The agreement was made and
both projects were carried out in
1877. In order to encourage build
ers who had little capital, the
founders adopted the old English
system of ground leases in perpe-
uity rather than selling the lots.
These leases ran in price from
S3.a6 to $500 a year, so that for as
small a sum as $500 a person had
the lot so long as he cared to con-
.inue the lease. Most of the lots ir
North Milford directly above the
river, or the creek as you and ]
know it, were transferred in this
way and some of these rentals
still exist"
Did he build the dam?"
! Yes, he did, on what is now
peninsula in Silver Lake near the
present railroad track, If you have
one of the maps which Mr.. Will
liam Richards made in 1888 from
a walking survey, you will find this
dam located. Thorne also built
saw-mill at the east end and a
grist mill lower down where the
old Red Mill stood. Farmers from
Sussex on their way to the grist
mill were compelled to ford the
stream to reach the mill 1t is to
the combination of mill and
ford that the town can attribute
its name of Milford.

how Milford came to be. Next
