COMMUNITY XMAS TREE AN
AT TRACTION OF HOLIDAYS
SMYRNA SCHOOL CHILDREN AND
CITIZENS COMMUNITY SING.
Tree was Erected at "FOur Corners"
and Illuminated With CoIOred
Lights-Dr. Hill the Speaker.

Christmas passed off quietly in
Smyrna. Following a Christmas Eve
that was rainy and disagreeable, the
weather was clear and cooler and was
ushered in with the usual noise and
enthusiasm that children like to make
1t. 1t was day of home gathering
and many pretty Christmas trees.
some colored with electric lights, made
merry the hearts of old and Young
Outside of the movies there was no
Xmas attraction. The feature of the
holidays so far as the public was con-
cerned was the Community Xmas Tree
erected in the center of the Four Cor
ners and lighted with red, white, and
blue lights and decorated with Amer
lean flags. This Innovation was due
to the Century Club women. Last
year they had the tree in front of
their Club House but this year they
gained the consent of Town Council
to erect it at the Four Corners and a
pretty sight it made. From any direc-
tiOn up or down Main and Commerce
Streets it could be seen and proved
not only an advertisement for the
town but an innovation enjoyed by
old and young. Thursday evening,
the day after Christmas, a "Commun-
ity Sing" took place at the tree and
a large crowd was in attendance. Pres
ident L. NJ. Price of Smyrna Town
Council opened the ceremony with a
few appropriate remarks and Rev.
Thomas Getz Hill took charge of the
community sing and directed the mus
ic. Several Xmas songs were sung and
the voices of the school children who
marched to the tree from the School
Building, augmented by the club
women and citizens of Smyrna made
the air ring. Rev. DR.. Charles A. Hill
gave an appropriate address on
christmas" and what it meant this
season of all others, following closely
on the ending of the war. After more
singing the children repaired to their
own Churches where a Christmas
treat was had.

TWO TRAINS CUT FROM SMYRNA
Two O'clock Afternoon Train and
Eight O'clock Evening Train Drop
ped From Smyrna Branch.

smyrna citizens are being worked
up over the curtailing of train service
to Smyrna by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company. With the advent of
the New Year two trains are dronned
from the schedule of the Smvlna
Branch-the 2.15 p. m. afternoon
northbound train and the SOB u. m
evening southbound train. That the
dlscontlnuing of these train connec-
tons will work hardship to Smvna
Is the opinion of citizens generally.
ms means that there is no train
north between the $50 am and 2 20
p. m. and no train south after 5A6 n
m. To many who spend the dav in
wilmington or Philadelphia, the tax
ing Off of the evening train means that
they must leave Philadelphia around
4 o'clock in the afternoon to take a
Smyrna Branch connection. where
heretofore a passenger did not have
to leave Philadelphia until about six
O'Clock. These two hours difference
to day shopper means much. Be-
sides the train connection it means the
cutting out of the late edition of the
Philadelphia evening paper and the
loss OF an important mail. Business
men OF Smyrna could mail letter at
7.3O p. m. and have it delivered in
Philadelphia early the next morning
Now letters to get in the early de-
livery will have to be mailed around
five o'clock. Some think it an "out-
rage" that town of the size and i'm
portance of Smyrna should be treated
so, and already there is talk of send
ing a delegation to the proper au-
thorities to have both reinstated.

tive work in keeping the fire confined
ana from spreading. The fire started
on the second floor of the Middletown

among the articles destroyed were a
grandfather's clock, owned by the Ma
sonic order, which was 125 years old.
together with their charter granted
them IN 1916. The fire was combated
by tiremen from Wilmington, Smyr-
na' Delaware City and the govern
ment shell-loading plant at Port Penn.
The destroyed building was owned bv
5. NJ. Rosenberg, who conducted a
clothing store on the first floor. and
ne estimated his loss at $4,000. The
second floor of the structure was used
as a motion picture theater and it
is thought the fire started here. Red
grave Brothers, hardware dealers un-
der the Opera House, estimated their
loss at $1,000, while L. V. Kirk owner
OF the general store, lost all his stock.
The frame dwelling of Miss Alice
Wood, adjoining the Opera House.
was also wrecked by the flames and
water, her loss being estimated at 81
500. At the time of the fire, there was
little wind and this fact saved the en-
tire business section of the town from
being destroyed. During the fire a
topping wall came near falling on
several persons.
