(Editor's comment)

From our archives:

April 1946

(After seven years of hard work, hampered by wartime interruptions and serious labor problems, the one-time "choked up" Pocomoke River, which drains a large portion of lower Delaware when it is in working order, flows freely again. The biggest drainage job east of the Mississippi is completed and all is in readiness for landowners to clean out ditches leading into the river so as to drain their wet fields.)
