WILL MOVE THIS -
WEEK TO VIRGINIA
DR.. and Mrs. Mitchell to Leave
Sooner than Was
Expected

DR.. and Mrs. Samuel C. Mitchell
are making preparations to move
to their new home in Richmond,
Va, in a week or so. Their son,
Morris r. Mitchell, came on from
the South last week to assist with
the packing.
DR.. Mitchell, whose resignation
takes effect in September, origin
ally planned to remain in Newark
until that time. Since, however,
he and Mrs. Mitchell will spend
their vacation in Boothbay Har-
Dor, Maine, during the early part
of August, they decided to move
before rather than after the vaca-
tion period.
DR.. Walter Hullihen, the new
president, will probably move here
the latter part of September. He is
expected July %, however, for a
conference with college officials.
During the absence of DR..
Mitchell the affairs at the college
will be in charge of Dean E
Laurence Smith.

DR.. Greenfield Sails for Europe

DR.. X. R. Greenfield expects to
sail this week on the "McKees-
port" a vessel operated by the
Green Star Line. He will be ac-
companied by Irving Reynolds, a
graduate Of Delaware College in
1917, who has just taken his de
gree in law this spring. These two
will be the only passengers on the
"McKeesport," which will land at
Antwerp, Belgium, in about two
weeks. This will give them an
opportunity to see the Olympic
games in progress there during
July and August. They will later
proceed to England where they
will spend most of the time until
their return the latter part of
September.
According to published reports
appearing in the Wilmington and
Baltimore papers, DR.. Greenfield
and DR.. Reynolds were to have
sailed in June on a cattle boat. DR.
Greenfield left about that time for
a visit with friends in Chester.
town, fact which led to the belief
that this report was true.
DR.. Greenfield was in town the
first o fthis week.

REPRODUCES CON-
TINENTAL PLANT
IN MINIATURE
Bert" Everson Makes Paper
Model and Mounts 1t on
Bakelite-Dilecto

An interesting piece Of work
which is attracting much favor
able comment, is on exhibition in
the window of the Newark Inn. 1t
is a clever reproduction in minia-
ture of the entire plant of the
Continental Fibre Co., erected on
block of Bakelite-Dilecto 13x31
inches and made entirely of paper.
This remarkable achievement is
the work of Albert Everson, affec-
tionately known to his hosts Of
friends as Bert" In a compara-
lively few days, with no instru-
ment other than a penknife, he
fashioned the perfectly proper
toned Fibre Plant, including in it
every detail--office, shop, hose
houses, water tanks, trucks, horses
even ]. P. Wright's Marmon car
in front of the office.
Everson was formerly connected
with the Bakelite-Dilecto depart
ment of the Company and has al
ways maintained a keen interest in
its development. Several years
ago he received injuries In road
accident, from which he never re
covered. His mechanical genius
manifested itself during his con-
valescence in the construction of a
''f1ivver," which was the apple Of
his eye and which afforded much
pleasure to him ana 70 his friends.
For the past few months he has
been confined to the house and
with indomitable spirit has whiled
away the hours with such activi-
ties as that mentioned above. With
a megaphone, he greets from his
bedroom window his former fell
low workmen at the Continental

Bumper Wheat and
Hay Crops in Vicinity

Farmers in the immediate vicin-
ity of Newark, from all appear
ances have no cause for complaint
this season either as to crops or
weather conditions for harvest.
The wheat has been cut and gives
every evidence of being a bumper
crop. Hay. was never better and
is bringing s45 a ton. Potatoes
are in good condition and will
without doubt produce a record
crop. Help is scarce and high, but
as one progressive farmer puts it
"You can get the help if you pay
the price, and the prices Of farm
products seem to warrant it."
Some of the finest fields Of wheat
seen in years are those on the
Huber, John F. Richards, C. P.
Wollaston, and Charles Lafferty
farms. On the latter property is

Only that all drivers of cars would
learn the simple rule to drive to the
right, and always do that thing It
is the state law, and besides it helps
the pedestrian as well as the driver
sof other cars. When one goes to
cross any Of the streets Of the city
he must look in all directions, and if
the crossing is at an intersection Of
streets he has to look more ways or
direct,uns than he has eyes, and then
he is in danger of being run over.
Because even when the stop sign
swings and waves the car generally
crosses the street before it stops, and
then you are already run over.
