Shell Oil =
Delaware
To Conduct
Survey

Delaware's beach erosion
problem is the subject of a
joint survey to be made In
September by Shell OIL Com
pany and the State of Della
ware.
In cooperation with DR.. Johan
Groot, the state geologist, Shell
will drill number of small
bore holes and collect samples
of sediment in the Cape Hen
lopen, Rehoboth Beach and In
dian River Inlet area. Work Is
expected to begin soon after
Labor Day and should be COM
pleted within six weeks.
The survey, which will be
done at Shells expense, is
designed to provide information
on the character and history of
sand formations along the Del
aware COAST
STATE TO BENEFIT
Results of the survey will
be made available to both the
Delaware and Federal govern
ments and information uncov-
cred may be useful In under
standing the geological pro-
cesses that govern sand move
ment and erosion along the
Delaware beaches. In some of
the holes, the Delaware Geo
logical Survey will perform ex-
tended observations pertaining
to the invasion of salt water
into fresh ground water.
Shell said the study will be-
come part of its continuing
program of geological research
and is not exploration for oil
or gas.
Shell said 1t hopes to benefit
by gaining insight into how sand
barriers are formed, thereby
aiding the company In deter
mining the locations of other
sand barriers, some Of which
are buried deep beneath the
earth's surface. Such subterr-
anean former beaches and is
lands sometimes contain depo-
sits of oil and gas. The holes
will be three inches In dia-
meter and will vary In depth
from about 20 feet In the Re-
hoboth marsh area to zoo feet
at Indian River Inlet and 300
feet at Cape Henlopen.
NO EXPLOSIVES
Drilling Will be done bymeans
of a small rig mounted on
lightweight truck. No explo-
sives will be used.
Shell said the holes which
are not used for salt water
studies will be filled and plug
ged. No evidence of drilling will
remain after the SURVEYS COM
paered.

total cost of DR.. Burchenal' S

young man, DR.. Burchenal grad

Bill Set
For Sept. IL

Congressman Harris B. Nc

today that hearings have been
set for Sept. ii by the House
Armed Services Committee on
his bill to return to Delaware
approximately 500 acres of ex-
cess beach-front land at Fort
Miles Military Reservation for
a State Park.
President Kennedy has indi-
Gated great personal interest in
having this excess land returned
to Delaware, and has worked
with Congressman Mcdowell to
make this possible.
Committee Chairman Carl

Rep. Mcdowell to chair the
hearing room in the House Of
flee Building. in Washington.
Among the scheduled Wines
ses are Governor Ebert N.
Carvel; and Congressman Har-
ris B. Mcdowell. Jr.
Also, w. Emerson Wilson,
former city editor of the VII
mington Morning News, and a
well-known expert on the his
tory of Delaware, and the Civil
War.
Other Witnesses who will
testify are John A. Bivens, State
Planning Officer, and Peter
Celdof, State Superintendent Of

Congressman Mcdowell said
today:
''The future development of
Fort Miles as an ocean beach
playground is assured If Con-
gress adopts my bill. This val
liable and historic Cape Hen
lopen area must be returned to
Delaware"
The need for outdoor recre-
alton areas In Delaware has
grown tremendously In recent
years.
Fifty years ago Delaware had
population of only 202, 600,
more than half of whom lived
on farms and In small villages
and towns. There we're only A
urban places In Delaware in
1910.
Today, more than 800, 900
Delawareans live In cities or
suburbs.
An official publication of the
State of Delaware declares:
'sThe trouble is that in Del
aware today there are simply
not enough good, ncrowded
places open to the public for
recreation. There are not
enough parks with bathing and
boating. not enough pleasant
wilderness places for picnick-
