AL KUmes' Friends
Issue Statement

The following article was pre-
pared and presented to the Chrom-
icle by friends of Al Humes on
behalf of his election to the office
of Mayor.
Mr.. Alphonso Z. Humes who has
| filed as a candidate for the office
of Mayor of the City of Milford
for the next term has set as his
aim for the future of Milford,
I"ORDERLY GROWTH Keep what
is right, Fix what is wrong, and
move ahead.
Mr. Humes better known as AL
was born here and has a great
love for Milford and for Della
ware. Over the years he has been
active in various community activ-
tiles and positions. He had been
until last October actively engaged
in the retail hardware business
with his partner and brother,
James Humes, for more than thirty
years.
In spite of rumorS, Mr.. Humes
does not favor the return of the
sewer tax or any other tax in
crease at this time He feels that
the needs of the City must be care
fully weighed and compared with
the income which the City normally
receives. The wise and judicious
spending of these funds is one OF
the major tasks which confronts
the Mayor and the Council. The
Council must debate with great in
sight and wisdom and needs and
requirements which are for the
benefit of all of the Citizens or for
the City on the whole.
Mr.. Humes said also that he be-
lieves a Plan for Orderly Growth
should be prepared and used as a
guide for the methodical and well
regulated addition to water and
sewer lines, street paving, electri-
| cal distribution system for some
years to come He is confident that
there will be great influx of in
| dustry in the next decade and that
Milford should be preparing for it
little each year. The wise con-
sideration of these expected future
developments is a major RESPONSE
bility of the Council
In the past few years Al has
held many civic offices and posi-
tions of responsibility Among them
are: Secretary of the City Council
under Mayors Evans and Wilker-
son from 1943 to 1850. He was also
Treasurer at that time and for
several additional years after re-
signing as Secretary. He learned
a great deal during those years
about the running of a Municipal
ity. He was a Member of the Mil
ford Board of Education from 1943
until 1852 and served as Presi-

In addition, the 1862 program al

The Agricultural Conservation
Program is designed to encourage
farmers to protect soil, water and
woodland resources by sharing the
costs Of needed conservation
measures.
Without this assistance, most
farmers simply couldn't afford to
make this needed investment, par
ticularly since the majority of
these practices provide little or no
immediate return Mr. Wilson ex-
planned.

tion of a bond issue
One project that would receive
my immediate attention is the ur-
gent need of industry being notified
of our City's desire to have them
locate here. Advancement in this
project could be realized by the
Council Jointly cooperating with the
Chamber of Commerce. Any re-
suits realized from this project
would greatly improve the ecOnOm-
ic and employment conditions of
our community.
AS your candidate for Mayor, |
will do all | can to continue this
program and will appreciate any
support you can give me at the
Polls.

Saturday afternoon the
Orange County Hunt held its
annual Point To Point Meet
ing near The Plains, Virginia,
in a steady rain that was in
terrupted only by thunder
storms.
This apparently came as
no surprise to the weather
forecasters, who had dropped
a few hints, but it was hard
to believe on Saturday morn
ing as the warm sun shone on
yellow forsythia and pale
green willows.
Happy groups Of racing de-
= votees packed picnic baskets
and wine bottles for the fun
pre-race lunch hour. This,
ideally, is a matter Of every
one spreading delicious buf-
fets on the open tail gates Of
station wagons or on blankets
on the grass, and table hop
ping" It's possible to sample
everything from mint juleps
to occur de fraises while
roaming the hillside greeting
friends, placing bets, and well
coming Spring.
Much of this desirable at
mosphere was missing Sat-
urday when the rain predic-
ton turned to fact. Tail
gates we're up, along with
car windows, and blankets
we're being worn, rather than
sat on. Greeting friends pre-
sented a challenge, largely
due to great difficulty in find
ing. friends to greet. They
were all behind logged WIN
dow glass or, if particularly
hardy, making their way
about the muddy hillside
shrouded in mackintoShes
and plastics to the point Of
being unrecognizable.
Organized in '3Os
The Orange County Hunt
was organized in the mid
twenties when a group Of
people from New York came
down to enjoy their favorite
sport in the most beautiful
and best hunting country in
America. The OCH typifies
the cream of hunting in this
country and owns a famous
pack of American hounds.
