POsTOFFIcE IN NEW BUILDING
Shift Over Was Made Wednesday Night
last-Ne Building Has. Been Ad-
mired Generally Ever Since

Without any trouble or friction
Postmaster A. Lee Cummins moved
the Smyrna Postoffice from the room
1t so long occupied in the old Ward, now
Stockly Building. to its new and per
manent $35, 900 Federal Bnilding, on
Wednesday night Postmaster Cum
minis was assisted by the Rural Deliv
erymen and a corps of helpers and
worked late into the night getting ac-
quainted with the boxes and entire
new furniture equipment Early
Thursday morning the new postoffic
was thrown open to the public and all
day long the lobby was crowded with
patrons many who fingered to admire
what was to Smyrna a dream in post
Office quarters. 1t took no little time
to assign boxes and give out keys, for
in the lobby everything now is a lock
box (no more call bOxes) and patrons
who have no boxes must call at the
delivery window for their mail. This
innovation caused a veritable STAN
pede for lock boxes and by the end of
the day Postmaster Cummins had
rented large portion of the 346
boxes. Mails the first day were ma
turally little slow in delivery. hut
the public did not mind waiting for
the time was spent in admiri1g the
beautiful cement floor, the finished
wood work and the brass trimmings.
Thru the stamp and delivery windows
they watched the workings and the
equipment inside. At night, when
the lights were turned on. the build
ing was all the more beautiful. Hand
some electrOliers threw a soft light
everywhere. There was only two COM
plants, if any, noted during the Gay.
Some were disappointed that the lobby
(Which is only 8 feet 2 inches by "a
feet incches), was not larger and
more commOdiOus and others disliked
the narrow entrance doors and their
arrangement. But to a large portion
the realization of havinsg an up-to-
date Federal Building with every mod
ern equipment, was the unspeakable
pride of Smyrnians. who feel FORUM
ate that such building, with it's con-
veniences, IS in our midst.

get from Lent? You can learn the
power of prayer! Lent is a season of
prayer-of earnest prayer-of honest
prayer Deep longings of the soul
find utterance and relief. The SOULS
sincere desires come to the ears of
God, who alone can answer. Such is
prayer always. Such it is especially
during the time when the mind dwells
upon the picture Of the suffering
Saviour. When the very sight makes
the ear more attentive to the utter
ances of His lips, and we hear Him
speak of pardon for sin, compassion
for the penitent, and love for the re-
turning child. Such it is especially
when closer communion with God
makes US long to be more like God,
and when true view of life creates
in US the desire for that true life in
our souls. Lenten prayers create de-
sires as vel! as express them-desires
for pardon. for compassion, for love,
and they draw our life beavenward in
their very expression. This good you
want, and can find in Lent.

ADOPTING HIGHWAY MEASURE
Bill Calls for Graded Auto License Fees
and Carries Right to Take Over Ali
County Roads and Maintain Them

Representative men from all parts
OF the state attended a good roads
conference held at the Hotel du Pont
in Wilmington. Friday. and the pro-
posed bill providing for a state high
way department was approved by the
unanimous vote of those present, each
good roads advocate pledging himself
to appear before the committee of
the general assembly and urge its
adoption. The state highway depart
ment would be composed of four men
to serve without compensation, one to
be appointed at large to serve for two
years, one from New Castle county to
serve for four years, one from Kent
county to serve for six years and one
from Sussex county to serve eight
years and one new commissioner to be
appointed every two years. The mea-
sure provides tor a graded automobile
license fee based upon the weight of
the cars and passengers, the money
thus received to be paid to the high
way department, which shall apply
this revenue exclusively to the main
tenance of improved roads The de-
partment will be authorized to employ
an expert road engineer and a secre-
tary. The bill carries the right to take
over in the name of the state all pres
ent county roads ard to construct
and maintain them, which will re-
lieve the counties of the cost of their
maintenance. The commission will be
authorized to borrow funds for road
construction. The measure also au-
thOrizes the department to take over.
in the name of the state the du Pont
boulevard, upon its completion and to
assume its maintenance. The aim of
the whole bill is far better roads in
