COUNCIL AND CLUB WOMEN
ARRANGE CLEANUP WEEK"
FIX ON THURSDAY MAY 22 TO
REMOVE RUBBISH AND LITTER
Citizens Urged to Cooperate With them
in This Sanitary Movement-Rub-
bish to be Removed Free.

The Civic Committee of the
Twentieth Century Club, of Smyrna,
Miss Anna B. Beckett chairman and
the Street Committee, of Smyrna
Town Council. John P. Hudson. chair
man. have arranged a Cleanup
Week" for Smyrna in which they
wish the cooperation of all citizens.
The movement is the same that has
been inaugurated in other towns in
the State and on the Peninsula for
needed sanitation and public hygiene
and in line with a town beautiful.
The committees above stated have set
tied upon Thursday, May %, to
inaugurate the Cleanup" days.
All citizens are requested to gather
their tin cans, rubbish and litter
and have it put front where it
will be gathered up and carted
away by the town free of charge.
This does not include ashes which
the town does not consider rubbish
and will not be responsible for.
There is much rubbish that accumu-
lates about a property in the course
of a year. Dark cellar corners, un-
suspected alleys and back yards more
or less abound with litter which if
allowed TO stay becomes germ laden
and unhealthy and a breeding place
for disease. Along with this the
dump heap and pound play their part as
a breeding place for flies and mos
quitoes and with the cleanup pro-
posed. it is urged to start a fly swat
ting campaign. Instead Of the dump
heap, use garbage can with lid Sc
curely fastened. This will break up
the breeding places Of flies and event
ually make cleaner and more healthy
surroundings. Citizens of Smyrna
are urged in the interest Of good pub
lie health to cooperate with the Civic
I Committee in this Cleanup move
ment. The town of Smyrna has Of
cred to do its part if you do yours.
Then let the cleanup be general.
Have your litter ready by May %
and if all will join the move
ment it will be the success hoped for
by the ladies Of our Century Club and
I Smyrna Town Council.

Everything is now in readiness for
the opening of the strawberry season.
The first berries will be shipped from
Sussex on May 10th. While there
are not so large patches around about
Smyrna or in fact Kent county as there
were ten years ago, yet it is surpris-
ing how many straberries are bearing
this season, KlOndykes, Champions,
Success and Candy. Sussex now
grows the Hathaways, also. Della
ware will grow and ship a great crop
Of strawberries this year. beginning
early this month of May. At least
that is the report made at the direc-
tors meeting of the Delaware Pro-
duee exchange in Dover this week,
and the exchange at once began its
preparations for inspectors, cars and
refrigeration in the handling of the
crop. The bureau of agriculture pre-
diets that the peninsula berry crop
this year will reach twenty million
quarts. In fact everybody is hustling
for 20, 600. 600 quarts to fill the de-
mand occasioned in the city by the
high cost of everything else. The
strawberry acreage is about the same
as last year. when the berries suffer-
ed slightly from rainfall aud unfav-
Orable conditions. And yet there
were shipped, last year 1s, 626, 763
quarts over the Delaware road, includ-
ing the berry shipments from the road
extending to Franklin City, Va, and
also some shipments from Goldsboro,
Md. but not including any berries
which were sent out by water, or any
of those canned in the preserving

other sources to give them a day cur
rent in that town, It is more than
likely that Milford town council will
give gas company a franchise to

ter will come before Councilat its re-
gular monthly meeting on Monday
evening next at which time three
distinct propositions will be placed
before that body. One of the pro-
positions will be offered by local cap
italists who are anxious to install
gas works for heating and power
purposes. The other will be by out
Of town capitalists, while the third
will be by persons who are thought
to be working for the U. G. /. Com
pany of Philadelphia. The light and
water plant Of Milford is owned by
the town, but it is controlled absO-
lutely by a body of five commission
ers. While council is anxious that
Milford should have day current. if
il can get it and has urged the com
missioners to give it to the citizens,
it will act on the kas proposition
should they fail to act. At the pre-
sent time the town is paying 81, 500
each year to the light and water plant
for street illumination.
