consolidated High School Building for
Smyrna and Clayton, erected at a
convenient place between the two
towns, that the children of both COM
munities may enjoy better education
al advantages. A consolidated High
School will go long way in helping
the two towns grow together. The
thought of a fine building between
the two towns, good road and a ce-
ment walk with shade trees along the
Smyrna Clayton road, is no idle
dream. There are great possibilities
in it, and one which in time may help
the two towns to amalgamate into one
incorporated municipality, Smyrna
Clayton. Now that both towns are
to enjoy night and day current from
the same central plant, with possibly
a lighted street between the two
towns all night long, good walk and
a fine High School building will be
an important step.

Our esteemed contemporary, The
Delaware State News, of Dover, has
these kind words to say of Smyrna
in the matter of the much discussed
railroad service: "Many residents of
Dover and central Delaware were
greatly and unpleasantly surprised
by the article recently published in
the Smyrna Times and Wilmington
newspapers declaring there is a pos
sibility that railroad communications
may be entirely cut off from the town
of Smyrna in the near future. 1t is
hardly conceivable that the railroad
authorities can be seriously contem-
plating such a move, which would be
of great detriment to one of Della
wares most fourishing communities.
Smyrna is one of the most progress
sive towns in central Delaware with
large business interests that make it
imperative that railroad facilities
should be continued. 1t is really to
be regretted that the main line of the
railroad should have passed by in
stead of through Smyrna, for there is
no doubt that had our neighbOring
town been on the main line it would
be even larger than it is today. This
however, is something that cannot be
helped, but the cutting off entirely OF
railroad communication between the
main line and Smyrna is something
that can be avoided. A vigorous pro
test against such procedure should be
voiced not only by the citizens Of
Smyrna but by all residents of Kent
county who are interested in the wei
fare and development of the beautiful
old town."

Because we have delayed in ex-
pressing our hearty welcome of The
Milford Chronicle in its enlarged form,
is not because we had not noted and
appreciated the fact, but because of
limited space our editorial column
was of necessity "boiled down." There
is no exchange that comes to our ta-
BILE that is brighter, fresher or more
welcome than The Milford Chronicle,
and in its enlarged form it is a bet
ter paper in every way. We congrat-
ulate Col. Theodore Townsend and his
staff on its excellent appearance. II
is a model paper and a decided credit
to Delaware journalism.

DAY HONoRED BY WELSHMEN
March the First Known the World
Over as Anniversary Of the
Country's Patron Saint.

The first day Of March has long been
observed as a special day by the peO-
pie of Wales and is called st. David's
day in honor of the good st. David,
patron saint of the Welsh, who lived
in the sixth century.
st. David was said to have been the
son of a prince of Cardiganshire,
Wales, and is accredited with the
working of many miracles, especially
among the poor of the country. 1t was
said that when the saint first went
into the fields to preach to his follow
ers the ground on which he was stand
ing began to rise until it assumed a
gOOdly height, and hencefOrth was his
pulpit.
For hundreds of years the Welsh
wore sprigs Of leek-a plant with
broad bluish-green leaves and yellow
flower cluSters-in their hats as a sym
Dol of recognition of the day. This Gus
tom was brought about, some say
from the fact that in a battle Of the
Welsh against their old enemies, the
SaxOns, st. David had ordered all
Welshmen to go into battle wearing
their native leek, not only to distin-
guish them from their enemies, but to
bring them good luck.
Other writer's argue that the badge
was worn more as a fraternal sign and
because leek was grown in every Welsh
garden and was the favOrite vegetable
of a true Welshman.
Writers of the last century depict
a typical Welsh garden as a garden of
onions, garlic and leek. HOmely incl
dents are told of Welshmen assisting
each other in farming and eating their
leeks together, a ceremony symbolic of
hospitality and good fellowship.

A better future awaits our public
schools and incidentally better edu-
cational advantages await our chill
dren under the new School Code,
which the Smyrna Board of Educa-
tion recently adopted. Smyrna could
have done nothing else but take this
progressive step. While it's adoption
means that some of the members of
our school board will be obliged to
end their services, at least three, ap-
pointed by the Governor, will be re-
tanned. We are sorry to see the serv-
ices of the other four terminate, but
for the good of the schools it was
thought best to adopt the Code and
be one of the first schools in the
county to carry out the provisions Of
the new law passed by the recent Leg
islature. We congratulate our School
Board for taking this progressive
step, and with happy anticipation thai
the Code will work well in Smyrna
we hope to see a further move for

would not be disturbed for the pres
ent and no trains taken off without
due notice, Superintendent Smith and
Trainmaster Fleming and the heads of
the Delaware Division P. B. w. Rail
road have Thrown a bomb" in the
face of a dissatisfied public, by cut
ting off more trains. Hardly had they
gotten back at their desks in the
Pennsylvania Building in Wilmington
after their conference in Smyrna, be-
fore orders came to discontinue all
Sunday train connections on Smyrna
Branch, and now this morning the
first north and first south bound, and
the 6.13 p. m. north bound trains are
to be discontinued. And all of these
in the face of protests. 1t has devel-
oped further, thru an investigation,
that the Government Railroad Ad-
ministration had nothing to do or
knew nothing about the Smyrna
Branch curtaiiment of trains. With
such a situation, is it not high time
for the people of Smyrna (and citi-
zens of Delaware who are back of
Smyrna in their righteous protest)
to wake up and demand our rights.

be the slogan with the Superintendent

Among the eight famous Victor

known American tenors.
He began making records -
years ago. when the talking machine
was still more or less at the toy
stage. At that time he was one OF
the leading singers at the celebrated
Church of the Incarnation in New
York, a position, he had won after
nine years study. Burr was told
it would hurt his musical reputation
to make records under his own
name, which is Harry McClaskey.
so he assumed the recording name
of Henry Burr.
The other artists who will appear
are Albert Campbell, tenor; Billy
Murray, character comedian; John
Meyers and Frank Croxton, bari
tones; Monroe Silver, the Cohen"
story teller; Fred Van Fps, banjoist,
and Frank Banta, pianist. The
members of the. popular Sterling
trio and Peerless quartet are among
those mentioned, and both these
we'll known organizations will have
numbers on the program.

Announcement Of break in corn quota
tions In Argentina where holders were said
to be alarmed over the scantiness Of ex-
ports to Europe gave the corn market here
a downward tendency from the outset.
Later this tendency was greatly increased
by word that Argentine corn was being
purchased At New York much below what
domestic corn, either old or new, could be
delivered for. The Acknowledged serious
ness of the presidents illness operated
likewise as an evident depressing factor
from the moment the market opened, but
