ROAD BOND ISSUE
FACES VOTERS WEDNESDAY
Election
Officials
Listed

Holmes County's ballot weary
electors will 60 to the polls for
the fourth time in less than three
months next Wednesday = this
time, to decide the merits of a
81, 135, 900 county road bond is
sue.
Originally the issue had been
proposed by the Board OF Sup
a~rviSors without a special cleo
ton, but an intensive petition
campaign by indignant county
voters proved highly successful
and forced next Wednesdays
voting.
Both "Citizens Opposed to the
Bond Issue" a special commit
ee composed of residents from
throughout the county and the
Board of Supervisors were car
rying on publicity campaigns
his week with each releasing
statements Thursday.
The apparent chief objection
to the bond issue is that the
Board "has not submitted to
the people of Holmes County any
plans as to where the roads will
be built the people are en-
titled to know"
In addition, the group points
out that $605, 900 will have to
be paid in interest and fees dur
ing the 20 year repayment period
of the bonds.
On the other hand, members
Of the Board contend that there
will be no tax levy to retire the
bonds and "out of approximately
IS counties entering this pro-
gram only three counties have
protested by petitioning for a
vote"
"For every mile of new i'm
nrOved roads. maintenance goes
down, leaving even more County
Funds to improve other roads,"
the supervisors say.
Names of the officials through
out the county who will conduct
the election are as follows:

Improving Weed
Crop Easy Says
County Agent

by following a few simple
management practices, you can
grow an excellent weed crop
this fall' says George Vapaa,
Kent county agent.
The first step is to sow plen-
ty of seed this fall. The easiest
way to do this is let weeds &c
to seed.
You won't have to worry
about the perennials as they
will come up anyway. This
makes growing weeds a lot cas-
ier he says.
When the weeds come up in
the spring allow them plenty
of opportunity to grow. He
warns that blowing them under
or sowing a crop that requires
tilling the soil will seriously
hamper weed growth. A gen
erous application of fertilizer

foxhunting activities. They pre-
sented the priced piece to MIR.
Dupont some years ago. Ex-
pected to see the running of
the Fair Hill this Saturday 9th
are two daughters of Mr.. and
Mrs. Stewart, Mrs. John B. Ham
mum, III, and Mrs. Joseph Wal
ker. They have always been
warm supporters of Fair Hill
racing.
The Fair Hill will run at a
distance of about two miles, and
is steeplechase for horses of
three years and upward. Win
ner of the Nimrod Vase may
keep possession for one year.
While the Fair Hill was run in
its early years with only a
money prize, and no trophy, the
Dupont gold cup was put up in
1899. That year c. Mahlon
Kline's Whaddon Chase was
winner. MIR. Kline retired the
gold cup by winning it twice
more, with Astronomer in 1852
and Gridiron in 1859. However
the Nimrod Vase is a perpetual
trophy and cannot be retired
by three victories.
In addition to the flat races
on Saturday the 9th, and the
Fair Hill Steeplechase, there will
be two hurdles events and a
contest over timber. The tim
Der race, named the Trouble
Maker, has become increasingly
popular in recent years and is
expected to attract one of the
largest entries of the program.
At about three miles, over a
fair hunting country, it has
been won in the last two years
by the same horse, Miss Audrey
Riker's Golden Fly.

'nounced a preliminary minimum

permit producers and the trade
to conduct normal marketing
operations with knowledge Of
'CCC pricing objectives.
According to R. Harry Viii.

price will be S2.421a per bush

sents the county support rate

will help the weeds overcome
such a shock.
Avoid application of chemi-
Gals such as PAD as they are
apt to injure the young grow
ing weeds.
A yearly program such as
this, MIR. Vapaa says will es-
tablish a weed path that will
Withstand the most severe con-
ditions. He tells of one field
of Johnson grass that is in its
third year and getting thicker
and taller each season.
A final precaution from the
agent: Look for something to
do with all those weeds you're
bound to produce. 1t seems
livestock won't eat them and
there isn't much of a market
for them"

Sea Trout King Fish

Sea Trout King Fish
Catches of sea trout and king
fish continue to set the pace in
Delaware Bay in the Kits
Hummock- Bowers Beach-Mispil-
lion Light sector. Mixed with
these species are a variety of
other fishes including pig fish,
sea bass, sand sharks and blow
fish. The trout weigh up to
two and one-half pounds, a fine
eating size. Favorite bats are
peeler crabs, mussels (steamed),
in conjunction with squid. Squid
alone will attract king fish and
som e t i m e S trout. Individual
catches of twenty or more fish
are not uncommon.
Worn Out Ramp
Fishermen and boaters have
just about worn out their Sec
ond launching ramp at Angus
tine Beach. The ramps were
constructed by the Game and
Fish Commission out of inter-
locking steel mating. Temper
ary repairs are being made now
so that boat launching can con-
tinue throughout the early fall
months.
Plans are underway for more
permanent launching facilities
as part of a long term develop
ment program for the entire
Augustine Beach Area. 1t is
anticipated that space for 500
boats and trailers will have to
be provided to take care of the
rapidly increasing boat usage.
Financing of needed improve
ments is a problem of growing
concern to fishermen, boaters
and to the Game and Fish Com
mission. Developments to date,
have been financed mainly by
fishermen through the federal
tax they pay on fishing gear.

To Open Soon

Dickinson College will open a
$50,000 language center next
month with the start of the new
term and will name it for the

a former private residence fac
ing the campus, has been made
possible by gift to the college
in 1859 from Irenee dupont of
Wilmington, Delaware, indus
trialist and descendant of an
early Dickinson alumnuS.
DR.. Howard L. Rubendall,

Old Silver Bowl
Prize Trophy Of
Fair Hill Race

The 1861 annual Fair Hill
race meet will be held on Sat
urdays, September 9th and 10th,
according to an announcement
from William Dupont, Jr., over
whose estate the programs are
run. AS in the past there will
be six races on each of the two
Saturdays, and the post time
again will be 800 p. m. Pro-
ceeds from the races 60 to ben
eft the Union Hospital, Elkton,
Maryland. Pari-Mutuel betting
will prevail, and the veteran
Delaware Park nutuels man
ager, E. l. (Jim) Langford will
be in charge of the machines.
The daily double will be on the
first two races. Other Delaware
Park personnel who are collob-
Grating with Mr.. Dupont are
Bryan Field, general manager;
Helen Stairwalt, his assistant;
and Clarke Pardee, track super
intendent.
A famous old silver bowl will
be placed in competition for the
first time, as the trophy in the
featured event, the Fair Hill
steeplechase, which also will
carry $500 in added money.
From his extensive collection of
silver, acquired on both sides
of the Atlantic, MIR. Dupont has
selected the piece known as the
'Nimrod Vase" and it will be-
come the perpetual trophy in
the Fair Hill Steeplechase to be
run fifth on the six-race pro-
gram.
Miss Mildrede E. M. Pike, sec
retary of the Cecil ounty
Breeders Fair, under whose
general auspices the two days
of sport are conducted, has
available both box and seat res
ervations at l0l Delaware Trust
Building, Wilmington, Delaware.
In addition to the horse races
in the afternoons, there will be
a cattle show on the morning
of the 9th, and a horse show
on the morning of the 18th.
Miss Patricia Dupont of nearby
Elkton, Maryland, again will be
active in the horse show, es-
pecially the pony and rodeo
classes which have proved so
popular with the younger set.
On the morning of the initial
Saturday, beginning at $50 a.
M, the cattle show will be held,
with entries from neighboring
states as we'll as Delaware.
In dis u s sing G the Nimrod
Vase, MIR. Dupont gave some
thing of its history and said
that it really was bowl-shaped
even though engraved in Lon
don with the designation MIN
rod Vase" Originally it was
presented to the late w. Punk
ct Stewart almost half GEN.
tury ago, as the prize in the
Cheshire Cup. Mr.. Stewart was
master of the Cheshire hounds
in nearby Unionville, Pa. The
English engraving also was the
words: For those devoted to
the chase, the turf and the
road" In the opinion of oD-
servers this dates the trophy
back to the days when coaching
was a popular pastime.

ardent supporters of the races
