the speaker commended. He
urged that all other groups in
terested in attracting visitors
join to broadcast the Delaware
message over the widest pos
sible area.
Singing out Winterthur and
Hagley Museums as outstand-
ing New Castle County attrac-
tions, Mr.. Bissell also stated
that Fort Delaware is beginning
to take its place among the
nations foremo ost historical
sites. He said the fort will be
a particular drawing card dur
ing the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the Civil War which
begins in 1861 for a four year
period.
More Employment
"If we really put our should
er to the wheel and secure the
interest of hotel, motel, restaur-
ant owners, museums, the boat
ing and commercial fishing at
fractions and many others we
will be able to reflect an in
crease in the general economy
of the state. 1t would mean
more employment-more gaso-
line tax for Delaware and more
sales of many commodities.
Lets face it," Mr.. Bissell
concluded, Delaware Memorial
Bridge in eight years has pour
ed the equivalent of the entire
population of the United States

encourage people to travel to
not through Delaware. This is

If garden chores pile up on

can get some of them out of

be fed in the fall just as well
as in the spring. October is a

Professor Charles w. Dunham,

He said some of the fertiliz-

some will be available when

Delaware's tourist and travel

The motel and restaurant op-

is the year when many Euro

its principal job is ito sell Del

He pointed to the successful

am transmitting a draft Of Bill to amend Title % Of
the Virgin Islands Code So as to fix the annual gross re-
'ceipts tax Of insurance companies at one percentum and
to remove all doubts as to the proper Interpretation Of the
law ia this respect.
, 1959-08-10

Byvirtle Of the language IN the Code at the present
time any such company shall pay tax in accordance
with other applicable law, on all gross receipts from pre-
mitlms question has beensraised that, ikegth gross
receipts tax on retail business, etc. the one percent gross
receipts tax on nsuranceJcOmpanies is due only for those
months ia which their total insurance premiums collected
exceed 5000. This was obviously not the intent Of the Code
since it provides an annual, not a monthly, tax on insur-
ance companies. 1T would require a very cumbersome pro
cedure to apply this monthly exemption to insurance COM
panies paying an annual tax.
The proposed Bill will clarity this point and facilitate
the smooth functioning Of the gross receipts tax on insur-.
ance premiums. ( comn1end its adoption.

Doctors began trying chloro-

icillin. He is still on peni-
cillin.
BY last Friday Vincent was
alert and asking for food. BY
Tuesday he was watching tele-
vision and reading.
Had not the bacteria caused
the meningitis, Vincent would
probably have developed a full
scale case Of gas gangrene OF

pearance of meningitis caused
doctors to search out the cause
and treat the infection. And
had not the meningitis ap-

probably would have had the

were set up in the apartment

and other rooms needed fol-

THE spacious and well-ap-

are not just flrst-claSs; they
can be more appropriately de-
scribed as luxurious. Few II

The garage has Just been

A $l,222.000 contract for the

THE RAMBLER CALLED
on Jimmy Karn, secretary
of the Colonial Beach Cham
Der of Commerce. Jimmy is
a wheelchair case, victim OF
childhood poliomyelitis, and
one of the most cheerful per-
sons the Rambler has met.
Were just sweating 1t
out" he said. There's a
great argument in the town
about it. They're still choos-
ling up sides. B. F. benson,

food store, says his business
is as good as ever. Bill
Cooper, who runs a general
store and advertises we Sell
Everything says his bust
ness is way of. H. E. Gels
singer, who runs the New
Atlanta Hotel, has issued a
statement that the hotel is
doing as well as ever. But one
thing is certain, there are
not as many people at the
beach as in recent years"
The Rambler walked down
to the Little Reno. Less than
SO bathers were on the beach
or in the water, although it
was an extremely hot day.
He couldn't find a bath
house open. The slots were
gone from the pier. The bar
was open. The customers
were less than a dozen.
He went up to the Colonial
Beach Hotel, which Delbert
bought for $250,O00. Twenty
persons, adults and children,
were enjoying the $4,000
pool he built.
The Rambler went in and
asked the room clerk about
business.
Lets face it," the man
said, "the public follows the
slots. We haven't been filled
this year. Last year we were
turning them away over the
May 80 holiday"
