A solution to the problem of
dry hydrantS and inadequate
water pressure will be proposed
tomorrow by the chairman of
the Fairfax Board of County
Supervisors.
Board Chairman Stuart T.
De Bell said yesterday he would
ask the board to consider Civ
ing some group overall control
of hydrant inspection in the
county.
A majority of the board mem
bers, asked for comment, i'm
mediately gave their approval
to any plan that would co-or-
dinate an inspection system.
At the same time, some of
the supervisors voiced general
support Of plan that would
put a co-ordinator in charge
of the activities of the county's
paid firemen.
The county now has two
paid f1remen at each of the
volunteer fire departments.
Some departments have three
paid men.
A few years ago, a proposal
to name a Fairfax County fire
chief, who would have been in
charge of all departments,
raised a storm Of protest from
the volunteer departments.
Periodic Trouble
Proponents of the plan for a
co-ordinator feel that a diff
terent title and sharply defined
duties could change those
attitudes.
Fairfax County, which covers
more than 400 square miles,
has been plagued periodically
with the problem of dry hy-
drants and inadequate water
pressure.
Another big problem in the
county is the lack of hydrants
in subdivisions that were built
before the county passed an
ordinance requiring them.
The County Water Authority
checks hydrants on the AMMAN
dale water system, which it
purchased last year. The Coun-
ty Department of Public Works
looks after the hydrants on the
Alexandria Water Co. lines and
those in front of schools.
The City of Falls Church
checks on hydrants on its water
lines in the county. Other hy-
drants on the lines of many OF
the small, private water COM
panies fall into what one off,
cial has called "a no mans
land" Some of the hydrants
are checked by local fire de-
partments. No one checks some
of the others.
Would Inform Firemen

H. Burton, jr., has said the fire.

agement.
Mr.. Schabinger states that
New Castle County farmers and
their families are invited to at
tend and participate in this
years program. He especially
urges interested farmers to en-
ter their corn, small grain, hay,
and silage samples.
Entries must be received at
the Dover Grange Hall by noon,

pm. Those unable to take their
entries to Dover on Monday
may leave them at the County

fortunes. Others simply try to
endure them. Farmers with
livestock generally find it easier
to adapt to changing weather
conditions. Most farmers find
that two or three different crops
in prospect is better than re-
lying on one. And if there need
be any consolation, weather ex-
tremes are becoming easier to
deal with.

Unsettled Season
Is Attributed To
Lengthy Droughts

The 1859 cropping season was
difficult for most Kent county
farmers because of two extend
ed droughts and long rainy per-
iod, says George Vapaa, Kent
County Agricultural Agent. The
celebration of Farm-City Week,
now underway, seems to be a
good time to sum up or review
conditions, he said.
Ideally, a farmer would like
to get about an inch of rain per
week for best crop development,
1856 was such a year, but we
get this kind of a season only
about one year in ten.
The spring season started off
with dry period that extended
almost to the middle of July.
This meant that corn germinat-
ed slowly, small grains such as
wheat, rye, oats, and barley did
not size up properly, and pas
turage was short. Asparagus
harvest was short, and many
potato and tomato growers irri-
gated four or five times. The
first and second cuttings of al
falfa were put into the barn in
excellent condition because OF
good weather, however.
The rains came about the
middle of July and continued
on and off for about six weeks
Some farmers got as much as
IL inches of rain in a one week
period. Wet fields could not be
cultivated, and this accounts
for the bush weed growth OBJ.
served this year. Then too, to-
mato fields could not be spray
ed, so that the crop was loss
due to unchecked blights. The
potato harvest suffered for much
the same reason, and farmer.
could not dig the clean, bright
crop we usually get. But let.
admit, the rains arrived just ii
time to save 900 of the corr
crop which was just beginning
to tassle and form ears.
Came September, hot drying
winds, and no rain. The farmel
seeds pasture land and small
grains in the fall. Our groun(
drys out quickly because it i.
light and contains but LITTLE
humus or organic matter. Mucl
fall seeding has been delayed
but farmers are now making
a final drive to get the groune
worked up and planted. The
corn crop turned out better thar
most people expected but it il
cheap in price due to bump
er crop nationally. Pricewise
the soybeans picture appear
much better, though yields art
down because the seed size il
small due to the dry maturing
weather.
What's the point of this re
view? It is to show that natura
influences do much to deter
mine a farmers fate. SOM

The following article was pre-

State Development Department con-
cerning a little of the background
of big Thursday" at Slaughter
Beach.
Slaughter Beach, small Della
ware Bay resort approximately 8
miles east of Milford, is complet-
ing arrangements for hosting on
August 20 what is expected to be
the largest throng of visitors in
it's history. The occasion-a re-
vival of big Thursday"-high-
lights observance of Homecoming
Week." which begins this Sunday
and continues through August %.
While quite few of the visitors
will possibly be visiting the bay
side community for the first time,
a larger number undoubtedly will
be returning to Slaughter Beach to
re-live the memories of other big
Thursdays when the then tradi-
tionally annual event was an oc-
casion for family reunion and mer-
rymaking.
big Thursday" which came into
being in 1852 when residents of
Delaware's two lower counties
drove to Slaughter Beach and other
nearby beaches to celebrate the
lifting of ban that had prohibited
the taking of Delaware Bay oysters
and to eat their fill of the succu-
lent mollusks-was observed for
nearly century and featured
besides eating-singing, dancing
and even political oratory.
With the advent of automobiles,
better roads, other forms of amuse-
ment and more effective means of
communication, big Thursday"
gradually lost it's appeal and had
virtually disappeared from the Del
aware scene by World War II.
Milford chronicle., 1959-08-14

The August 20 event is, accord
ing to the Delaware State Develop
ment Department, the first serious
attempt at revival of big Thurs
day" in recent years. Spearheading
the present movement is Edward
G. Evans, former Mayor of Milford,
who, for many years, has main
tanned a summer home at the
beach as a vacation site offering
excellent fishing. boating and other
aquatic sports.
Homecoming Week" is being
sponsored by the Slaughter Beach
Memorial Fire Company, which will
use the proceeds for purchase of
needed equipment. A carnival, fire
works displays and boat races are
just few of the many attractions
scheduled for the week-long OBJ
servance.
According to the Development
Department, Slaughter Beach is
easily accessible by two good
roads: one, Delaware Route 202,
branching off from Delaware Route
IA at Milford; and the other, Della
ware Route 224, branching off of
Route IA at Argo Corner, approx
mately 5 miles south of Milford.
Slaughter Beach is 1852 miles
from Milford by Route 2O2 and S.31
miles from Milford, via Argo Cor
ner and Route 224. Route 202 takes
the motorist near Mispillion Light,
site of a small fishing village and
harbor for a sizeable fleet of fish
ing boats that throughout the sea-
son take parties into Delaware Bay
for the excellent fishing to be
found there.
