Town Council at it's meeting
Monday night authorized t h e
street committee to go ahead with
the work of improving west Main
street from the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad tracks to the town
limit. It is proposed to macadam-
ize the street the same as was
done with the business section of
Main street. When this is CON-
pleted it will give Newark prob
ably the finest section of street of
any town in the state. The i'm
proved Main street from the east
end to the town limits will be
about one mile in length and from
Sc to 60 feet wide. Other street
improvement will also be made
during the summer. Several of
the approaches to Newark have
been resurfaced within the last
few days.
Council received a letter from
Alderman Leonard w. Lovett in
answer to a communication sent
him by Council requesting him to
enforce the traffic ordinance. 1t
was intimated at that time that

ing in the manufacture 2400 bar
rels of sugar.

QUIET FOURTH
IN NEWARK
Quiet And Rest Order Of
Day

Firecrackers, ba b a l, ice
cream cones, automobiling, smok
ing, tramps afoot, loafing around
"a general community rest was
the order of the day here on the
Fourth. Except during the early
morning hours, business houses
were closed. Restaurants, ice
cream parlors and soda foun-
tains did big business. A steady
run of autos passed through the
town all day. General good order
prevailed, giving Newark quiet
Fourth. Wars, rumors of war,
flag day speeches were missing.
1t is with some regret that New
ark does not have some patriotic
exercises on this National holi-
day.

Carnival plans are fast assum-
ing shape and from all accounts
will be the largest affair ever
held in this town. The Firemen's
Parade, which will open the Car
nival at a o'clock on Saturday, af-
ternoon, July 22d, will be the
largest demonstration ever given
here. Havre de Grace brings
their new motor apparatus, uni
formed men and a band; West
Grove brings 35 men and band ;
and eight companies yet to be
heard from are expected. It is to
be hoped that the merchants and
residents over the line Of march
will decorate. The streets over
which the parade will pass will
be given in our next issue. Num-
erous features have been added
since last year to make the carni-
val more attractive than ever.
The management is to be con-
graduated in securing the Silk
Stocking Sisters who make their
first appearance in the East dur
ing Carnival Week and from the
fact that First Assistant Chief E.
J. Ellison and his efficient COM
mittee have charge of this end of
the carnival, the public may ex-
pect something fright up to the
minute" The vaudeville and
moving pictures will be of the
very best. No money is being
spared to make this one of the
head liners of the week. A ten
pin alley will be erected for the
lovers of this sport and under the
direction of the able committee
appointed for this attraction will
make it go some. The company
is delighted with the Boy Scout
movement, as Chairman Wilson
knows their value and as the
boys will camp on the grounds
the public have the assurance of
the most courteous treatment at
all times. The candy committee
under the direction of Mrs. Will
mer Hill scarcely needs comment
for every one knows Mrs. Hills
reputation in past carnivals.

Mrs. Frank Jester is chairman

FREIGHT CARS UPSET
B. & 0. Scrambled Eggs

Traffic on the Baltimore and
o 10 Railroad was delayed
several hours Sunday morning
as the result of five freight cars
jumping the track between Lum-
brook and Red Mill crossing two
miles from Newark. Forum
ately no one was injured.
The wreck was said to have
been caused by the brake bar on
one of the cars of a west-bound
through freight dropping while
the train was going at fast rate
about a o'clock Sunday morning.
In the fraction of a minute five
cars were piled up and practical
ly demolished. Some of them ran
for a short distance along the
ties before leaving the roadbed.
One car struck telegraph pole
breaking the pole about 10 feet
above the ground leaving the top
portion dangling from the wires.
All the cars were overturned
and the contents scattered over
the tracks. Another car con-
tanned sugar and this was also
spread over the railroad prop
erty. A third car was loaded
with old papers and the other
two with general merchandise. It
was several hours before west
bound trains could get through
and it was nearly noon before
residents of Newark and vicinity
got their Sunday newspapers, as
the paper train was due about 5
o'clock, did not get through until
after II o'clock.

Main Street Surprise

Fire Chief Wilson is a hustler.
So much so, he thinks everybody
else is. At the head of the Car
nival for several years, he has
learned the value of surprises.
Here's tip as given to us. Any
one thinking that Newark is slow
will be given conclusive proof to
the contrary by being on Main
Street next Saturday night. At
least one organization is alive.
Some Carnival stunt, we wager
but must wait and see.

Plan For Delaware Regiment

Editor Newark Post:
Sir-For some time I have been
impressed with the very great
Importance and desirability of
Delaware furnishing a full regi-
ment of soldiers to be sent to the
Mexican border, as a full regi-
ment would hvae many advan-
tages that would be denied to one
or two battalions. A full regi-
ment would have many advan-
tages, while one or two bat
talions would be merged with
other battalions from another
state, thereby losing it's designa-
tion as a Delaware regiment.
| feel convinced that if all good
and patriotic citizens throughout
the state would join heartily in
this movement it would be but a
, short time before a full regiment
would be recruited, and certain
ly every patriotic Delawarean
! would be glad to see a full regi-
ment leave the state. l am re-
minded that when the Fourth
Delaware Regiment of Volunteers
was organized in 1862 a full regi-
ment of one thousand men was
recruited throughout the state,
practically during the months of
July and August, and at the same
time the First Delaware Battery
was recruited to it's full strength,
commanded by Colonel Benjamin
Nields, and entered the field.
Our regiment went into camp
at Brandywine Springs in Sep
tember, and this was done after
the First, Second and Third Della.
ware regiments had been pre-
viously organized and sent to the
front. If at that time and under
conditions then existing full
regiment of 1000 men and the
Delaware Battery could be re
cruited in two months, certainly
.; one additional battalion can bt
raised now in a very short time
and thereby form a full regiment
l therefore earnestly hope tha
all good and patriotic citizen.
throughout the state will pu
their shoulders to the wheel ant
do all in their power to recruit
another battalion quickly ant
: have the proud satisfaction O.
knowing that Delaware sends
full regiment Of soldiers to Mex
leo. My son, James H. Cause
and my son-in-law, First Lieuten
ant Charles R. Jefferis, Jr., ar,
both in Company D. of the Or
, ganized Militia, and if I were
few years younger and had m,
eyesight I would certainly hav
joined the force before this.
, l am sending letters to othe
newspapers throughout the state
urging their cooperation in tn
movement as above outlined.

Houses Wanted

At least 25 houses are needed
in Newark right at the present
moment. Ten families who ex-

want houses renting from S18 to
S25. In view of the addition to
the Continental and other de-
mands, some real estate man has
an opportunity.
