CENTER OF CITY (Continued from page 1) "For example, City Council lias been Importuned for a long tlm? not only the present Council, but some of Its predecessors to provide a rest room, with the necessary facilities In the heart of the retail district. This proposal has had the hearty aupport of many women's organizations who were quick to see the need, and In addition thereto, had the support of many of the city's leading business men and organizations looking to the civic welfare and Improvement.

The need must be apparent to the city authorities, as It is to everybody else. Yet. up to the present time, there Is no public rest room In the retail district and apparently no present prospect of one. "Just think what convenience such a utility would be not only for our own people, but also for visitors. In addition, thereto, if non-residents of Wilmington knew that there was a place In the heart of the city where they could rest, attend to personal needs, and be made to feel that the city was really doing something officially to extend a welcome to them, more than now do so would doubtless come to Wilmington to shop.

That this Is the attitude of the city's merchants In the retail district Is amply shown by their support of the proportion. "Judging from the agitation of the subject a few months ago, it appear ed that Council had really been shamed Into or actually convinced of the necessity for doing something. that that body had about decided upon Fifth and Market St, as the location and that the project was to be commenced Immediately. Yet. at present, there Is no evidence of a pub- ret room at Fifth and Market Sts.

or any other dow-n tom "The Democratic party Is heartily favor of this proposition and should a Democratic Mayor ard Cltv Council be elected on Saturday, it is fsured that nothing will be left un- ririne to sen to It that, this very Important public utility is provided for Wilmington as soon as possible O'her cities, many of them mu'-h smaller than Wiimlnzton. provide ret roms th shopping districts. Why Is Wil mington dilatory? There ha' been too much polities and not enough bus iness in our municipal management The bet interests of the rltirns and I business men of Wilmington this Improvement, and the Democrat-' ic party stands ready to support it." LEVY COURT TO OPEN NEW BRIDGE BIDS The Ivy Court at Its next Tuesday. June 9, wiil ofn bids for the construction of a ne-v cmerefe bridge to replaee th old narrow s'e truss span on the Orubb road, near tlv Faulk road in Brnndywine Hundred.

Delaware National Guard, to carry on a drlvo for members of the regiment. An extensive campaign will be eon-ducted under the direction of the officers for the filling the few vacancies which now exist In the regiment. Since the completion of the new State Armory, at Tenth and du Pont In 1929, and the increased facilities that the armory haa afforded, the personnel of the regiment has been gradually undergoing a change. Efforts are now being made by the ofneers to secure additional young high school, college men, business men, and workers, who look upon the opportunities afforded by the regiment as a means of Increasing thflr skill, developing sportsmanship and securing a fundamental knowledge of what Major General has termed the "sporting branch of the service." the anti-aircraft service. Particular attention Is bHng drawn by the officials of the regiment to the new three-inch guns secured to re place the antiquated 7.) millimeter guns which have been In use here for a number of years.

The new guns are rnilor-mount. Included in the equip ment of the regiment now "re two 000.000 candlepower seatchlights, and a complete short wave radio receiving end sending apparatus. The enrollment of the regiment is more nearly complete than It has been for a number of vears, and there as been better attendance during the drill this Winter than in the past years, It was tatcd. improvements nave also heen made, during the past ear at the ramp at Bethany Beach. which Is about 100 yards from the At lantlc Ocean.

Totten expressed an added pleasure In making his statement of fact for the first time in world his. tory, by complimenting Henry L. Mencken, who he said was one of the few non-residents of Del-Mar-Va, If not the only one who have several years ago awakened to the truth and had since been trying to keep the remain der of the world from finding It out. He raid Mr. Mencken contlnud call ing attention to conditions In Del- Mar-Va which might not be exactly constmed as being suitable to a Gar den of Eden but now that the truth has been exposed ho feels that Mr Mencken will be just as generous In his compliments and he will not even have to mal.e an excuse to follow in the footsteps of his friend Sinclair Lewis and at least visit Del-Mar-Va and view the fig trees and their foliage.

The reasons offered by Mr. Totten were Public admission at the sixth annual meeting of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore Association, lastThurs day, by city and Association cf Com merce officials of the City of Balti more that It was so. Statements by Colonel Charles Borland, director of public safety, of Norfolk; J. C. Nelms, president of the Norfolk -Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce, and W.

8. Harney, manager of the same organisation, that It Is unquestionably true and that the Eves in Del-Mar-Va are the last word In evidence. The fact that fig trees are native to Del-Mar-Va and that Mr E. J. Winder, of Seaford, "a man of middle age and unquestionable veracity, calls attention to locations where these trees with their beautiful leaves may be seen, even along railroad tracks." Quotes (iassaway Also.

Marvland and Virginia, applied as "The Peninsula cf Plenty." may be found trans posed and hidden the very MUms which spell "The Garden of Eden." In conclusion, Mr. Totten declared that there Is "no reason for argument for the people of Del-Mar-Va do not have to prove that theirs Is the orig inal garden they admit it."

He said that such a plan had been worked successfully in Ohio. In that State crippled Industrial workers have been charged from a liability to the State to an asset.

He spoke of the moral importance of such a move, and stressed the fact that the rehabilitation of these men was -an important factor in creating the proper home conditions and environment for the families of i.uch permanently injured men. The speaker ursrd the cftabiLh-i-ert of a center where the crippled nvcht be trained. He said that the organization might be sponsored by the State or by a group cf citizens. the same way that th? Safety Council was organUrd in Delaware. He said that it could opera a Ion? the same lines.

It was because of this generally satisfactory conduct of the business that the company directors have again leased the theatre to Mr. Harris. This week the sensational motion picture play cf newspaper life. "The Front Page." is the special attraction at the Play house. During the recent theatrical season the Playhouse presented to local playgoers a widely diversified list cf attractions, despite the fact that many cities much larger than Wilmington were either without any, or enjoying only a few plays.

The best players in their newest offerings included this city in their bookings, among them being Ethel Barrymore. Jane Cowl. Helen Hayes. La Bordoni, Otis Skinner and William Hodge. Cther notable offerings were twe plays by the Theatre Guild.

Eugene O'Neils "Strange Interlude." and G. Bernard Shaw's, "Getting Married." Perhaps the greatest local interest were the Delaware Musical Association and the Orpheus Club concerts series, the Junior League charming offering and presentations by the Mask end Wig and American Legion. Among the other stellar offerings were the Passion Play and Thurston. The season proved most pleasing to the citys amusement lovers, and no little the credit is due to Mr. Harris, his personal contact with the Broadway producers having brought many of the plays to the city.

Mr. Harris is now making arrangement for the new season. His wise selection of only the best in theatricals for Wilmington during the closing season is taken as a guarantee that Wilmington playgoers will have an equally delightful season beginning September 1.
