CITIZENSHIP SCHOOLS TO

The citizenship School inaugurated
a movement which will not stop until
every. woman. and man too. il they so
desire. shall have had the opportunity
to understand the simples Of govern
ment; the connection between the in
dividual and the stale and nation to
the end that every one may learn that
our form of government properly ap-
piled provides a remedy for all griev-
ances; and eliminates any necessity for
a resort TO force. That is the big idea
OF the League OF Women Voters"

When asked what impressed her most
in regard to the National Schools Mrs.
Mcmahon replied:
First, the very earnest spirit OF the
women who took the course. They
are coming to their responsibilities Sc
riously and thoughtfully; In all
realizing their limitations
and determined TO overcome them. Al
so, there was something OF the Cru

MANY ASSEMBLE TO HONOR
SERVICE MEN OF THIS VICINITY
Music by Continental Band, Speeches, Songs by
Rehabilitation Division, Constitute
Varied Program

In numbers greater than the
seating capacity of the Armory
could accommodate, the residents
of Newark and vicinity assem-
bled at that place last night to do
honor to the service men of this
vicinity who were presented with
the State medals awarded to them
by legislative action. Through an
unfortunate circumstance the list
of those entitled to these medals
was lost and many whom the State
thus desired to honor were omitted
from the tentative list made up
from the records then available.
The situation was further COM
plicated by the fact that many
from this neighborhood who did
valiant service enlisted and regist-
cred in other places and were
therefore not on the local lists.
Every effort was made by the
committee, however, to see thai
every service man should receive {
medal. To that end a number o.
medals in blank were provided ant
an earnest appeal made that al
persons who know of such omis
sions notify Representative w. D
Dean or the members Of the Amer
| lean Legion in order that justic
may be done. -.sE

Board of Directors

The annual meeting Of the
stockholders of the Newark Trust
Company held last Monday morn
ing marked the close of remark
able period Of growth covering l5
years since the establishment of
the institution. By a curious coin
cidence the Company declared a
dividend of Is per cent for the six
months just closing. A dividend
of 10 per cent was declared for the
previous six months ending De-
cember 81, making a total of rs
per cent for the year-a record
equalled by no other bank outside
of Wilmington and by only one in
that city.
1t was decided to continue the
liberal policy of paying 2 per cent
interest on checking accounts ano
per cent on savings. No charge
is made for handling small &C
counts.
This company started In busi
ness Is years ago with a capita
of only $4,000 and at the presen
time has resources of nearly 81,
OOO, 900. An attractive booklet don

Reverend Walter G.. Haupt, pas

the invocation. This was followed
by a brief informal address by
Commander C. A. Short who ex-
planned that the public awarding
of the State medals was arranged
by the efforts Of Representative
Dean, the custodian of the medals
for the local service men. He paid
a high tribute to Mr.. Dean for
whom, he said, he in common with
other Delaware soldiers, was not
privileged to vote, since the State
made no provision for the exercise
of the franchise while the men
were in the service. He then pre-.
sented George Carter, with the
statement that it was eminently

so frequently and eloquently
raised in defense of those princi
