ed to be marked on Monday, May.
%. has been set up this year to

Mr.. Julian said this week that
1.-THE problem of public apathy, or
at least a lack of full appreciation
of the urgent need for the high
way program and the benefits it
is bringing" is something which
must be overcome. He said speak
ers at the all-day program in Will
mington should be able to create
new interest among the citizens of
the State.
1--WE have made an effort to have
only the top people come to High
way Day this year, since we want
to hear from the highest authority
just how the program is going and
what we can do to move it more
quickly" Julian continued.
He said that since the first an
nual National Highway Week will
be observed from May 20 through
May 81 this year, the Delaware OBJ
servance is right in line TO attract
national attention.
This years Delaware observance
which will be held at Hotel DUPONT
Wilmington. is co-sponsored by the
Associated General Contractors of
Delaware and the Delaware Safety
Council.
Among outstanding speakers add
ed to the impressive list for the
series of meetings. luncheon and
dinner are Ellis Armstrong, Presi-
dent of the Better Highways In
formation Foundation and James
NJ. Sprouse, manager. Highway Div
ision, Associated General Contrac-
tors of America. Both men come
from Washington.
Announcement was made earlier
that Governor David Lawrence of
Pennsylvania would be the featured
luncheon speaker.
Delaware's former Governors will
be special guests at the head table
according to Julian, and he said
the committee has not overlooked
David P. Buekson. who served a
17-day term during December, 49,
so. to January. 1861.
Mr.. Julian said that a meeting
of the general committee. compos-
ed of more than so well-known
citizens will be held on Monday,
May 8. to map final plans for the
days observance. Luncheon and
dinner tickets will be made avail
able to all interested in attending

mon. The last witness for Shell
was P. L. Brakeman, former
chief planner for New Jersey,
former director of the Detroit
Regional Planning Commission
and consultant to numerous 9TH
er planning authorities. Blake
man testified that the area of
Blackbird Hundred in question
was in his opinion an ideal site
for a refinery. He said he be-
lieved that the area was not
suited for a residential area,
light industry of a recreational
area. He said that a good plan
ming program for Delaware
would take at least five years
to formulate and he favored the
building of the Shell refinery
Immediately. Then he said,
planning should catch up later.
The six witnesses called by
the opposition, Delawareans for
Orderly Development, hammer
ed away at two main points. The
threat Shell poses to the States
wildlife, and the need for state
wide planning prior to making
a decision on Shells petition.
Norman Wilder, executive direc-
tor of the State Game and Fish
Commission, stressed that the
land areas involved "are not SIM
ply waste areas" He said the
"so-called buffer area of the Riv-
er and Bay" is with the rest of
the Delaware subbasin, the home
of a $50,0O0,000 fisheries indus
try. He also claimed that AZ per
cent of the wetlands of Della
ware lie within IL miles of the
refinery, and that 60 per cent of
the states waterfowl winter in
this area.

Advises Tips on
Preventing Burns

The summer swimming and
outing season is at its peak
and with it the Sunburn season.
A little common sense and
care will avoid the severe sun
burn that often spoils a vaca-
ton on its first day.
Today's Health, the magazine
of the American Medical Asso-
citation, offers six simple tips
for enjoying sunshine and tam
ming without the painful burns:
l. Take it easy at first. Tan
slowly-start with 10 min
utes the first day and increase
the time by 10 minutes each
day.
2. Suntan lotions and creams
can screen out some of the
burning ultraviolet rays and
thus reduce burn. They can't
speed up tanning.
3. Suntan wills can help those
with sensitive skins avoid
burns, but they are tricky
and should be used only as
directed by a physician.
4. Protect your hair. Too much
sun can make it brittle and
hard to manage.
5. Lubricate the skin wit h
cream or lotion after a day
in the sun to help offset the
excessive drying effect.
6. Protect your eyes, with dark
glasses, or when lying down,
with gauze pads.
Follow these precautions and
avoid spending most of the holi-
day suffering from sunburn.

THE FISHING SCENE
Prepared BY
DELAWARE GAME & FISH COM.

SaiIfish
Trolling on the open ocean
has been exceptionally good for
the past few weeks. Catches
of tuna have been up with some
boats bringing in 30. Marlin
were hooked frequently but as
vet none have been boated. One
reason for the added interest in
trolling is the fact that recent
Iy Captain Fred Wagner hook
ed and boated an Atlantic sail
fish, considered by many to be
one. of the most important of
the big game fish. Captain
Wagner and party, fishing from
the Thomas E. were in search
of white marlin when the sail
fish took the marlin bait. Troll
ing was indeed exceptional, for
prior to hooking the sailfish, a
large marlin had been hooked
and played for over an hour.
Seconds after the marlin es-
capped, the 6 foot, 8 inch, 60
pound sailfish struck one of the
remaining lures, and for an hour
provided many thrills with its
characteristic leaping in an at
tempt to dislodge the hook.
This is only the second sail
fish to be landed at the Indian
River Area. The first was TAX
en- IA years ago by E. Scott
Thompson. Both fish were
caught during the month of
July, one on fresh squid lure
and the other on a large feath-
er. This species of fish is found
in American waters from Mass
achusetts to as far south as
Brazil. Experts fishing for this
game fish feel that strips of
flesh taken from the belly of
dolphin, mullet, mackerel, bon-
ito or whole needle fish are
the most productive bait.
Freshwater Pond Management
Coursey Pond, located approx
imately two miles west of Fred
erica, is undergoing a program
of restoration. Prior to the pur-
chase of this area by the Game
and Fish Commission there was
no adequate water control struc-
ture, no picnicking or parking
facilities, and fishing was very
poor due mainly to a low wat
er level and extremely large
populations of carp.
At present a modern water
control structure is being built.
Parking and picnicking facilit-
les have been provided east of
the pond. An adequate con-
crete launching ramp is under
construction, and the undesir-
able carp population has been
removed. Stocking with bass
and bluegills will be completed
in the near future. There are

many deep areas along the
shoreline which, during the hot
summer months, should be pro-

upper end of the pond should
prove challenging. A small
stream leads for approximately
one mile to the tumble hole
below Killens Pond. This area
which is heavily shaded and
laden with natural food should
attract many large fish.
