"At the same time the Government,

at the close of business on Wednesday, June 20,

Smyrna times., 1917-06-27

This is Commencement Week in
Smyrna when our High School comes
to the front and engages more than
the usual public interest. We con-
gratulate the Graduating Glass of
thirteen on attaining this hour in
their educational career and may Sue
cess continue with each individual as
they break away from class ties to
the busy world ahead of them. Su-
pervising Principal ]. Lester Section
and his excellent corps of teachers are
deserving of much success in main
tanning the standard OF the school, sc
forcibly brought out during this com
mencement program. Surely no towr
can boast of better schools thar

Complaint comes to US from all over
town of the dog nuisance, yet Council
or the Police Department is doing
nothing to enforce the law. There is
plenty of authority laid down in the
dog ordinance which if properly en-
forced, would make conditions inf
nately better in Smyrna. 1t is not
so much the good dogs that commit
the depredations. 1t is the miserable
hounds and common ours that jump
fences, howl at night and become a
nuisance. AS one man put it, the Pn-
lice will get after an auto owner if he
happens to have his car standing at
the curb with the lights out or fine an
owner for allowing his cows or horses
to Craze in the streets on the out
skirts of Smyrna, either of which while
q breach of the law does not annoy or
modest near as much as the dog nuis-
ance which goes on unabated. 1t will
take an outbreak of hydrophobia to
awake Smyrna Town Council or the
police authorities to their duty. 1t
might be at the expense of some
mothers little boy or girl being bit
ten. 1t might be the loss of a life
from rabies. Why allow the dogs
to run at large unmuzzled. Why not
enforce the law and rid the commun-
ity of the worthless ours. Surely
there is enough law on the subject.
Lets have it enforced before some
distressing object lesson brings the
town authorities to a realization of
their duty.
Smyrna times., 1917-06-27

1t has been exceedingly gratifying
the way Smyrna and the State of Del
aware has responded to the Red Cross
appeal. In the Liberty Bond issue
Delaware subscribed three and half
times its apportionment and in the
Red Cross appeal she has more than
doubled it's apportionment. When it
comes to real genuine patriotism and
showing it first. Delaware lives up to
its history and traditions. Small in
area and population it is mighty in
results when compared to larger
states. Smyrna as an intregal part
in the State is always forward in the
movement, doing its part with zeal
and enthusiasm.

Arrangements Made to Han
die Many Persons Who
Will View Parade

With a baseball game this after
noon and a battalion parade sched-
uled for this evening the guardsmen
on the Island eased down on their
daily routine after the usual Satur-
day morning inspection. 1t is the
custom in military camps to have
frequent battalion parades some
times known as dress parades when
the men don dress uniforms. Lieu
tenant Colonel Frank L. Zeigler will
inspect the men.
Arrangements have been made for
the handling of large crowd at the
island this evening. The parade is
scheduled to start at 6.45 aand be-
cause it may be the last chance for
the people of Harrisburg and vicinity
to see the boys together in parade it
is expected that a large number will
be present.
In keeping with the policy of the
Governors troop always to be pre-
pared for any emergency, Captain
Roberts has started teaching French

New York Guardsmen Coming
New York guardsmen will replace
the men of the Pennsylvania guard
who have been guarding the railroad
bridges in this State. The First
Regiment on duty between Harris
burg and Philadelphia has already
been relieved. The Third stationed
between this city and Johnstown may
remain on duty until replaced by the
New York soldiers. 1t had been an
nounced that the railroads would
guard bridges with men in their pay
but q switch of arrangements Will
bring New York men. Men on bridge
duty have practically no drills or
routine except a two hour shift with
a Springfield scanning the bridge
piers.
Unofficial reports received by
headquarters in Philadelphia, from
the camp site at Augusta, Ga, say
that chances of the PENNSYLVANIA
men being in camp before Septem-
ber is small. Contractors have not
been able to get the work done in
the time expected conditions. it is
said, will not permit their going un-
til everything Is in readiness. A
shortage of labor has prevented the
clearing of some sections of the land
and water pipes have not been laid
on the ground intended for the
camp
