business to consider Delaware as
future home.
In an interview, appearing as
part of the Delaware article, Gov
ernor Boggs traces the states
growth, industrially and pOpula-
tionwise, since World War ii and
points oue how industrial growth
has aft cted the states economy.
The chief executive further states
that tthere is still land available
for development; and state agen-
-cies; such as our State Develop
ment Department, are giving full
est cooperation to the Committee
to Promote Delaware, Inc, county
and municipal governments, the
various Chambers of Commerce,
trade groups and other organiza-
tions in the effort to interest out
side industry in locating in Del
aware"
Pointing TO the adaptability of
Delawareans, the strategic loca-
ton of the state, and the prevail
ing good labor-management rela-
tions, Governor Boggs concludes
the interview with the prediction
of "a bright future for Delaware
and Delawareans."
The special feature is well illus
trated throughout with photo
graphs, many full-page, depicting
virtually every phase of Delaware
activity and many of its tourist
attractions.
In conclusion, under the heading
Heritage, the Buyers Digest ar
ticle states the following:
Thomas Jefferson called Del
aware "a jewel among States, and
we can certainly say that down
through the years it has continued
to be that. Delaware is small
state which contains within it's
borders an interesting variety of
terrain, a state which has many
points of scenic interest, a state
hat is well balanced in terms of
its agricultural and Industrial
produce.
Within this 110 mile long state
there is every opportunity for in
coming business. The state has
been growing steadily and the ad-
yantages it offers industry, low
axes, good government, the best
market possibilities means that the
state will continue to expand
This energetic state still main
aims a sense of its Colonial back
ground, Its people of Swedish,
Dutch, Irish, English and Scotch
iescent still carry with them much
If the spirit of the early settlers.
Delaware is a state with rich
listorical background, a state that
maintains many of its old tradi
ions, traditions bound up indis-
olubly with the traditions of the
sntire nation"

during the heavy northeaster,
in April at Rehoboth Beach,

heavy anchors fastened about
200 yards out. A heavy cable
