A season of camping at the
Eleanor Snedaker Day Camp
presents girls in this area with
a unique and most rewarding
experience. The outdoor camp
site, located near st. Georges,
affords Girl Scouts of all ages
an opportunity to develop a
closer relationship with nature,
to experience the thrill of out
door living, and to learn and un-
derstand means of survival.
A typical meal with the troupe
might consist of Hunter stew,
salad, French bread, butter, and
gingerbread cooked in a reflec-
tor oven. Preparation of such
meals aids the girls in fire build
ing, outdoor cookery, and safety.
The initial day of each camp
ing session was devoted to get
acquainted activities including
games and a songfest. Craft
work such as leathercraft, doll
making, and leather and plastic
"sit-upons" has proven extreme
ly popular with girls of all ages.
Mrs. Kay Jacobs of Smyrna
was one of the staff leaders at
the camp. Nancy Ewing was a
camp aide in charge of singing
and dramatics, and Karen Ever
hart was an aide responsible for
campcraft and craft projects.
Both girls are from the Smyrna
area.
Camp periods are for eight
days and include, in addition to
the activities already mentioned,
some guest speakers. Participat-

The turnpikes were almost
twice as safe in 1858 as other
roads and highways, according
to the National Safety Council.
The Council, in its recently
published statistical yearbook,
Accident Facts" reports that
the number of deaths per 100
million passenger miles was l.3
on the turnpikes, 2.3 on other

A total of 270 deaths to auto
passengers and drivers occurred
on turnpikes in 1858. More than
24,000 such deaths occurred in

Railroad Credited
With Settlement
OF Delmar Area

loO years is comparatively
short span, yet Delmar's GEN.
tennial observance, August %
through %, has real significance
advises the Delaware State De-
velopment Department.
While Lewes, Wilmington and
New Castle can lay claim to
being more than 300 years old
and others are approaching that
mark Odessa observes its Booth
anniversary this FalD, a few
Delaware communities, such as
Delmar, owe their beginning to
railroads which first began to
penetrate the peninsula area
a little over a century ago.
Delmar had such a beginning
in 1859 when the tracks of the
then Delaware Railroad, extend
ing southwark through lower
Delaware, reached the Maryland
line at what was virtually a
pine wilderness. Soon, houses,
a hotel and stores began to ap-
pear in the vicinity of the rail
terminus, and, later the same
year, Elijah Freeny and Wilder
Hastings, who owned most of
the area, laid out a town. A
name was created from the
combining of the first three
letters of the words Delaware
and Maryland, and the main
business thoroughfare, State
Street, was laid out along the
state line, dividing the new
town between two states.
Grows From $50
According to Scharf's "His-
tory of Delaware" Delmar had
about $50 residents in 1888.
The needs of these people, ac-
cording to Scharf's were taken
care of by six general stores,
two drug stores, a millinery
shop, two mills, two butcher
shops, two wheelwright and
blacksmith shops, a hotel, a
post office, several boarding
houses and a two-story school
building.
When the New York, Phila-
delphia and Norfolk Railroad
extended rails southwark from
Delmar to Cape Charles, Vir-
ginia, Delmar became increas-
ingly important as the site of
railroad shops and as ship
ping point.
In 1918 the entire rail line
from Wilmington to Cape Charl-
es was taken over by the Penn
sylvania Railroad as it's Delmar-
va Division and "Delmar' be-
came byword with railroaders
from New York to Norfolk.
Many railroaders settled in Del
mar after retirement and the
community continued to grow
and prosper.
Sliced In Halves
The advent of good highways
and increased use of cars and
trucks spelled the demise of
many railroad communities, "
and, while Delmar unquestion-
ably felt the effect of the fall
off in rail traffic, the commun-
ity adjusted itself, developed
local industry and survived. In
recent years, growth has been
slow but consistent, and, to-
day, approximately 2550 people
call the Understanding town
''home."
Actually, De m ar is two
towns-one in Maryland, the
other in Delaware-with each
segment having its own govern
ing body. However, since 1850,
school systems and various
municipal facilities and services
have been coordinated to serve
all parts of the area.
Excellent highways, including
the old U. S. l3 (now U. S. l3a),
the dualized Dupont Parkway
U. S. l3) and Maryland Rte.
467, make Delmar accessible
from every side. Within easy
driving distance from Delmar
are Trap Pond State Park and
any number of state-stocked
ponds that offer excellent fish
ing. Good roads lead north
eastward to Rehoboth Beach
and other Atlantic Coastal Re-
sorts. The Great Cypress
