CATHOLIC CHURCH SERVICES.
ST. POLYCARP'S R. c. CHURCH RE.DEp.
lCATED SUNDAY LAST.
tdifice Recently Improved With New Affairs
and Interior OecOratiOns-An Inter.
esting Celebration.

Ihe re-dedicatiOn of st. Polycarp's
church, Sunday, after some importan+
changes as place of worship, including
manly side affairs, besides paperino
was an interesting occasion, and called
out large audience. Bishop Mona
ghan, was not present as was expected
but Father Waldron, of Dover. cele.
brated High Mass, assisted by Father
Donovan of the st. Joseph's Home. at
Clayton.
The choir was very efficiently assis-
ted by that of the Holy Cross church
OF Dover. and an orchestra, in their
part OF the exercises. The church was
neatly decorated with flowers and ever
greens and the occasion made one of
interest throughout.
Father Donovan, instead of PREACHING
made an address which he thouobt
would be more beneficial than a ser
mon to the Catholics and Cath
ollcs as well, In regard to their wor-
ship. He said that the alteration of
Christ, the blessed Virgin and Saints
was not worship, as some believed
put these figures only symbol
lied certain virtues that were helm
Iul by keeping in mind. He held
up the great value of home discinlipa
and II the value of these saints in
the correct lives they led were more
impressed on the minds of the young
they would not grow into those habits
OF uemorallzation that make boys pro.
fame, and grow up into vicious men

Miss Nellie Campbell, the leadino
soprano, sang two solos, while a bean.
tl1ul duet was rendered by her and
Mrs. Walter Minner. The A. OH
OF Dover, some twenty-five in number
attended the morning services in a
body.
The affairs of st. Polycarp are now
very elaborate, two new ones have
ing been added, one being the image
OF the Virgin Mary, and the other ST
Joseph. They were purchased in ItaIv
and from these figures Father Dono.
van selected the subject of his dis !
course.

as comfortable and cozy as possible.
Manager Baker Intends giving the peo-
pie OF this town and Peninsula an up-
to-date system, and they hope to get
hundred subscribers in the twin
towns OF Clayton and Smyrna.
There has been much unnecessary
talk over the placing of telenbone
poles. 1t is not the wish of Chairman
Wright, OF the Street Committee. to
have poles placed in front of a resi-
dents door or window, and if the neo-
pie will just keep quiet, there is no
reason why matters cannot be ad-
Justed amicably. No one should stand
IN the way of improvements. SMYRNA
should be abreast of the times in every
movement. The Peninsula Telephone
system is good thing and the TIMES

thing that tends toward the enterprise
of the town.

ESTATE SOON PETERED OUT.
william COndOn's Money Disposed of BY
Kent County Officials.

The Kent county trustees of tbe
poor have made a record in disposino
OF the estate of VIM. Condor. who
aled recently in the county aims.
mouse says the Wilmington .Sun
Oondon left 1928 in the National Bank
OF Smyrna, of which town he was q
former citizen. j. Henry Jefferson
trustee of the poor, who resides at
smyrna, was made administrator Of
the estate. He employed Edward
hldgely as attorney. Ridgelv cbaroad
go Tor his services. DIR. E. w. Cooper
OF Camden, came forward with a hill Of
500 for attending Condor, notwitb-
standing the fact that the county nave
DIR. Cooper for all services rendorod -
the almshouse.
Inc trustees admit that Condor paid
81 a week board every week he re-
NAMED at the county institution. Yet
the administrators bill of items shows
tnat the trustees were paid S263 for
board out of the estate. When the ad-
minlstrator deducted his per cent. the
register received his fees, and the fun
eral expenses were paid, not one cent
remained.
Since the settlement of the estate Il
appears that heirs of Condor have
been located in Philadelphia, and there
is now talk of a suit by them either |
against Jefferson or the trustees.

The Frost of Last Week Did But Little DAMAGE
in this Locality.

There was considerable scare last
Thursday morning over the fruit crop

down as low as "a to 9S degrees, with
abundant frost, and in some cases ice
There was naturally considerable
apprehension about the damage to
fruit, but fortunately no serious result
followed, only few Strawberries black
ened. Another fortunate thing for the
following night, that seemed nearly as
cold, was, that it clouded up soon
after nightfall, and frost does not come
with a clouded sky. We are not en-
tirely out of danger yet, though we are
at the middle of May, for killing frosts
rarely come after this date.
