the favorite song of Foxcroft
students, sung to the indom-
liable octogenarian by more
generations of girls than she
might care to remember, was
intoned twice over Thanks

chorus was before the an

game at Foxcroft between
the Foxes and Hounds "a
division of the student body
that carries through every
thing at the school, except
fox-hunting), and the second
at the dedication, on Sunday,
of the "children's corner" of
the new Trinity Episcopal
Church in Upperville.
AS head Fox, which Miss
Charlotte has been for years

Highway Dept. To
Sfurf Major Jobs

Major construction activities
on State Highway improvement
projects will be resumed within
the next several weeks, weather
conditions permitting, but this
source of activity will not pro-
vide the large amount Of en-
|ployment that existed in some
former summer seasons.
The lack of available state
funds, through a bond issue
authorization, has halted the
Highway Departments planning
for new projects for quite a
number Of months.
AS a result some projects
that might have been completed
SO that they could have pro-
vided some employment during
the coming summer months, will
not be available and the longer
the Highway Department has to
wait for this bond authorization,
the worse the condition will be-
come as far as employment is
concerned.
Some projects, on which work
was discontinued with the arrival
Of cold weather, will have work
resumed on them within a few
weeks but many of these projects
will be completed by the middle
Of the summer and will employ
less persons as the end of the
work approached.
The Highway Department has
funds available for several
projects which they expect to
have under contract before June
30th, but these projects will not
provide for the amount of en-
ployment that will be dropped
as existing projects are COM
pleted during the SUNNI r
months.
The major prospects on which
construction work will be re-
sumed in New Castle County
are Limestone Road, New Castle
Avenue, Hares Corner inter-
section, Union Street, in Will
mington, and the bridge over
Drawers Greek.
In Kent County work will be
resumed on a resurfacing
project, the Wyoming to Willow
Grove Improvement and one dirt
road project.
Sussex County will have work
resuming on improving Mills
boro streets, the highway from
Cokesbury to Route 13, and sew
eral dirt road projects.

Buy Plants
With Cure

Every homeowner has the
problem Of selecting types ot
plants that best suit his proper
ty. And Assoc. County Agent,
Ed Ralph, says confusion otter
results when shrubs are hastily
purchased.
That's why he suggests going
to a local nurseryman to see
just what various plants may
have in color, bloom, form, size
and maturity, color Of bark, and
other attributes which may add
something to the collection on
the property.
With evergreens, both
narrow-leaved and broad-leaved
types, the size, density, color
and shape are all important. The
nurseryman can help the home
owner decide which shrub will
best suit desired needs. Some
evergreens may grow too tall
or too fast and may be, within
a few short years, liability
instead Of an asset.
Ralph urges not to buy plants
that can become "white ele-
plants" in a few years.
For details concerning land
scaping, the ultimate height of
recommended trees and shrubs,
how to plant trees and shrubs
and additional tips on pruning,
fertilization and pest control,
contact us at the Sussex County
Extension Office, Ralph added.

The Postmaster states that
the present flow of Christmas
cards is runninT about the same
as last year, but the mailing Of
Christmas gifts is tagging some
what. He suggests that all gift
parcels to most distant points be
sent by Air Mail from now on.
Speaking about Christmas gift
packages, the Postmaster said,
81 cannot emphasize too strongly
the vital need for packing ana
wrapping your Christmas gifts
securely. Pack all your gifts IN
sturdy cartons, wrap them with
heavy paper, and tie them Sc
curely with strong cord. 1t is
sometimes hard to understand
why people will be SO careless
about putting valuable Christmas
