Seventh-Day Adventists have al

determined to make these changes
beginning with January 1, 1956
which will add an extra day to each
year which will not be included in

in leap year, thus bringing a hard
ship to those who conscientiously
keep the first day each week, and
likewise to those who observe the
seventh day of the week, because
these days will drift down through

He seemed to gleam in the rising

As he chirped on so merrily.
Another day was almost done
When a robin warbled his
His red breast glowed in the

His clear chant just glided along.
These blithe feathered creatures

In the sunshine and rain
sing
Their trust in the Heavenly
Father's care;
What sure signs of coming
Spring!
Cold Winter blasts will soon

Although there be sunshine

Welcome Spring will be

Hugh Sharp Scores
Carvel Attack On
State Road Work
(continued from first page)
of Delaware now underway.
Mr. Sharp said:
"The former governor of Dela
ware has either had another lapse
of memory as he did in the Lewes
Beach erosion matter or is just
simply resorting to partial-truths
in a,political attempt to embarrass
the present administration.
"But—instead of embarrassing
the present administration," Mr.
Sharp continued, "the former gov
ernor has 'merely succeeded in re
pudiating the actions of some of
his own appointees and focusing
public attention on the many fail
ures of his own administration."
The Hockessin by-pass bids and
also bids for altering the curve on
the Governor Printz Boulevard at
Stockdale, east of where the boule
vard joins the Philadelphia Pike,
will be opened in Dover on March
30.
The charges to which Mr. Sharp
has reference, were made by Mr.
Carvel in the course of a Demo
cratic rally in Georgetown last
Friday, Mr. Çarvel not only at
tacked the Boggs administration
for what he called its lag in high
way construction but also in school
construction.
The other day the school con
struction program charges were
answered by State Senator Wilmer
Williams, Republican.
Wednesday night, Mr. Sharp took
up the reply cudgels in connection
with the department heads.
Concerning the overall highway
program of the present administra
tion, Mr. Sharp stated that "with
in the finances available we are
complying with our responsibility
to provide adequate, safe and effi
cient highways in Delaware. Al
ready a great number of projects
have been placed under contract
and by the end of this year the
aggregate total of such project

extend the dual highway to Har

agreement with former Republican
plans. It is therefore difficult to
understand why the former
