In light of my errors related to an obscure road in a small town in Maryland and Orson Welles, I will table this.
 
You either go east to OC, or north/west to get to Annapolis/Baltimore. Just by looking at what direction they are going will tell you where they are headed.

Owen's Branch Rd runs east-west with a slight curve to the north at the west end. If they are going to DE via OC, then they'll be going East. If they are going anywhere else they'll be headed the other way. Not hard to mix up.
You clearly haven't spent much time around idiots. Be glad.

And someone is seriously lost if they are marching down Owen's Branch Rd. It's practically a dead end.
Now that's a problem, unless it wasn't a dead end in 1933.
 
You can forget securing Du Pont installations in southern DE: at the time, virtually all Du Pont operations in DE were in/around Wilmington and just across the Delaware River at the Chambers Works in NJ. Thus, those jokers around Salisbury, MD were on a wild goose chase unless they were about to secure a bunch of chicken farms. You'd need to have troops going up the Kirkwood Highway from Newark toward Wilmington, with some splitting off toward New Castle on DE 9 and the New Castle/Penns Grove ferry to cover the places mentioned above.
 
DISSIDENT, Orson Welles didn't make his war of the worlds broadcast till 1938 so the musician in 1933 wouldn't think of it. in regards to this and the road issue, retcon comments like this and when you are done you can post a corrected version if you want to. Your work will be looked at by hundreds of people as you post it and at least one of them will have eaten at some obscure diner that you refer to in passing and write to tell you that there were 8 stools not 10. Treat it as a free research staff, it's your story and looks interesting. Nobody knows everything, my spell checker caught 3 mistakes in this post. :eek:
 
Poor HAW. This means hybrid corn won't be as popular.
Will Canada or Mexico join in? The UK? The USSR?
Oh, Butler was USMC...
