Express Bus
Need Cited
ByCIurke

More express bus routes are
needed to make public transit
more attractive to commuters,
according to Frederick ].
Clarke. District Engineer Com
missioner.
Gen. Clarke said officials of
the transit companies will meet
soon with members of the
Washington Metropolitan Area
Transit Commission to try to
work out new routes.
A report expected to be re-
leased soon by the General
Services Administration will
recommend that about 1876 new
express bus routes be estab-
lished throuhoout the area,
Gen. Clarke said.
The GSA report-covering a
wide number of transporta-
ton needs-is based on a re-
cent survey of 10000 Federal
workers.
Gen. Clarke made the COM
ment during TAPPING of the pro-
gram, City Side, to be televised
on WTOP-TV today.
On the same program, Com
missioner Walter N. Tobriner
suggested that a city-wide con-
ference of representatives OF
organizations attempting to
fight juvenile delinquency
should be called to coordinate
efforts.
Mr.. Tobriner said he feels
there is much duplication of
effort and suggested a Clear
ing house" be established.
The District Commissioner in
charge of public welfare, John
B. Duncan, said later he be-
lieves the entire Board of Com
missioners should call such a
conference rather than just one
member of the board. Mr.. Dun
can was not on the program.

Work ON Dirt
Road Projects

Construction work on certain
dirt road improvement projects
has been halted by weather
conditions, according to William
]. Miller, Jr., director of oper-
ationS for the State Highway
Department. Preparation of the
earth surface on some of these
roads could not be continued
because of the freezing condi-
ton of the road and their pres
ent condition will make travel
somewhat difficult, according to
MIR. Miller. Roads in this con-
dition are not numerous, said
Mr.. Miller who pointed out that
persons desiring to travel over
them might find it difficult. AS
soon as weather conditions per-
nit, construction operations will
be resumed on these roads and
they will be rushed to compile
ton, added MIR. Miller, who said
he was making this announce
ment so that any persons af-
fected by the present condition
of these roads would understand
the situation.

Appeal Started
To Aid Family
OF Joseph Rullo

Although the Joseph Rullo
family, who suffered the loss of
all of their possessions in a
fire a week ago, are now in
stalled in a house provided by
Mr.. and Mrs. Ralph Carey, Tay-
lor's Bridge Road, there are
many needs. Chief among the
necessities are beds and chests,
bedding, including sheets and
blankets. The father and SON.
in-law are now sleeping on the
floor although beds have been
provided for the other members
of the family, which numbers
ten people. The father, a brick
layer and brick pointer, lost all
his tools, including scaffolding,
with which he earns his living.
The family is self-sufficient and
only needs help TO get on their
feet after their great loss. Cash
contributions may be made to
the Smyrna Area Ministerial
Association, the Rev. Charles
Cureton III, treasurer. Any
family who has a surplus of
bedding, even tho worn, will be
doing a great service if the ar
ticles are given to those in need.
Clothing and bed clothing may
be left at the First Presbyterian
Church. The help of an entire
community is needed in the af-
termath of the fire. 1t will be
greatly appreciated.

Game Officials
Look for Good
Deer Season

Field observations point to a
successful deer season this COM
ing Friday and Saturday, Janu-
ary IL and l3, according to Of
ficials of the Delaware Game
and Fish Commission. During
the two-day season in 1860, $50
animals were brought down.
A map of the public hunting
lands under the supervision of
the Commission is available up
on request from the Dover Of
flee or from licensing agents
throughout the State. The pub
lie hunting lands along the
Chesapeake & Delaware Canal,
the Petersburg Wildlife Area,
ii miles south of Dover, and
the Assawoman Wildlife Area
in southeastern Sussex County
along with all state forest lands
in the State will furnish good
deer hunting for sportsmen look
ing for public lands on which
to hunt. Hunters are reminded
that they must bring their deer
to a checking station within IL
hours after it is killed. 1t is
permissible and proper to field
dress (gut) the deer as soon as
it is shot. The checking stations
are located at the old State Po-
lice weighing station at State
Road and the Dover, George
town and Bridgeville State Po-
lice stations. Legal hunting
hours are from one hour before
sunrise to one hour after sun
set. Shotguns, 20 gauge or larg-
er are the only legal weapons.
Hunters are permitted to use
buckshot, pumpkinball or rifled
slug. It is illegal to possess any
shot smaller than buckshot while
hunting deer. Hunters are also
reminded that it is unlawful to
make use of a dog in the pur-
suit of deer. Deer may be hunt
ed if the ground is covered with
snow. However, hunting for
Red Fox is prohibited during
the two-day shotgun season for
deer. Although there have been
some close calls, it is a tribute
to Delaware'S deer hunters that
there have been no shooting ac-
cidents during any of the open
seasons to date. This is a rec
ord to be proud of and one all
should strive to maintain. Look
before you shoot!
