May Day Event
Attracts Big Crowd

The May Day exercises Of the city
schools were held last Saturday aft
ernoon on the campus of the Y. M.
G. A. To say that every number of
the program was wonderfully carried
out and beautiful in Its costuming,
is to put it toy mildly. Each one of
the six graded schools were repre-
sented and their May Pole dances
showed careful practice on the part
of the pupils and a thoroughnesS in
training on the part of the director of
music and the teachers.
At the sound of the herald's trum-
pet there marched onto the grounds
the participants in the 'Tom Thumb
Wedding" beautiful sight it was,
too, the little folks in their grown
up" costumes, each acting his part
so well. Then followed the Queen
of the May, Miss Ola Mizell, proceed
ed by her jester, Joe Blackwell, and
followed by her train of attendants,
the Misses Ida Mae Lee, Lena Mae
Mackie, Florence Blanchard, Eta
Dickey, Myra Bell Lessel, Dorothy
Davis, Lois Caraway, Mary Hunt
Plummer.
After the arrival of the Queens
party she was formally crowned, then
followed the May Pole dance.
The Daisy Dance by little Miss Don
Andrews was executed in her usual
graceful and attractive way, as was
also the Flower Drill by pupils of the
Long avenue school.
A very beautiful folk dance was
interpreted by Sarah Berenson and
Bonnie Joseph. Another pretty folk
dance by pupils of the Superior ave-
nue. school was next on the program.
And last, but not by any means least,
the Mother Goose Drill by pupils of
the North Side school.
After the program all flocked to
the ice cream and lemonade stand
and to the sideshows that had been
put up for the occasion by the "Yp
as an added means of amusing the
children. = -
1t was wonderful time for the
children and the grown-ups seemed
to enter into the spirit Of the day
and gave rounds Of applause as each
number of the program was carried
out.
The judges of the May Pole dances
gave first honors to Central School
and second to Long avenue school.

man, stopped his tfuck at the corner
of louisiana Venue and Austin

Ten minutes later he returned to find
the truck in flames.
The alarm was quickly turned in
but before the fire trucks could ar
rive on the scene Moffett had dug a
hole in the dusty street scooping up
handfulls of dust with which he ex-
tinguished the flames.

GAS TO KILL TREE BORERs
N. J. HOrticuIturistS Are Told How
Peach Pest is Conquered.

The peach tree borer," a lowly
worm that was once the despair of the
fruit grower, since every tree had to
be cut open and the "borer" plucked
out, has met his doom. He is a victim
of chemical warfare, plan used in
some other States, but really, discov-
cred in its most deadly form by DR..
Alvah Peterson, of New Brunswick,
assistant State entOmologist.
DR.. Peterson explained how the
pests are destroyed by gas to gath
ering of about 900 recently at the 47th
annual meeting of the New Jersey
Horticultural Society. The gas is in
crystalform. A few handfuls are TAX
en- and placed about the base of a
peach tree. The gas sinks into the
ground, and soon after the borers are
no more. 1t was said thousands of
trees have been treated successfully
in this manner in the last year, some
twenty tons of the gas being used in
the fruit growing sections of the
State.
DR.. M. T. Cook, of New Brunswick,
State plant pathologist, announced the
intention of the fruit and vegetable
growers to ask the Legislature for
$25,O00' to fight plant diseases in the
coming year. Several new diseases
have been discovered by plant scien-
lists in the last year, he announced,
including root rot of peaches and
peach wilt, the latter causing tre-
mendous losses.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
is WANTED IN EASTON

Business men interested in form
ing a Chamber of Commerce in Eas-
ton, Md, met and discussed the mat
ter. 1t was a continuation of the
movement started recently by the Ro-
tary Club, when about thirty-five men
agreed to support a Chamber of Com
merce and to pay twenty-five dollars
a year each.
At the last meeting the organization
was brought up to the point of can
vassing the entire county, and this
will be divided among the thirty-five
men who signed the original appeal.
From a careful estimate it is believ-
ed that at least 200 members may be-
come active through a Chamber of
Commerce. There are many who be-
lieve that Easton and the nearby
towns will never improve to any
great extent until they have the help

legal title to School District" schools
tiOn and the legal title to Special
School District" schools is now in the
respective Special School District.
2. Such titles may be either in fee
simple or only to an easement or
right of use as is hereinafter more
fully explained.
8. The State Board of Education is
given power to convey property under
the provisions of the last paragraph
of Section 80 of the above act but
this express power seems to be limit
ed to conveyances to Special School
Districts.
4. In the United States it is gen
orally held that an agency such as the
State Board of Education has no inn
piled power to sell property which is
devoted to a public use. 1t has fire.
quently been that where property has
ceased to be used by the public, it
may be sold by such an agency by
virtue of it's implied powers. This
latter doctrine has been, questioned to
such an extent in some of the States
that I do not believe it would be up
held in this State. In addition, I seri-
Ously doubt whether any lawyer in
this State would pass title for a
school property for his purchasing
client under our existing law.
5. The situation would be further
complicated by reason of the possible
fact that some of the lands in ques-
tion may have been devised or con-
veyed solely for school purposes, or
may have been condemned by virtue
of the power of eminent domain. If
such properties were conveyed or de-
vised solely for school purposes they
Milford chronicle., 1921-12-16

revert to the grantor or his heirs if
used otherwise than for the purposes
for which they were granted or devils
ed.
If required under the power of emil
nent domain the same principle would
apply unless the condemnation stat
ute expressly provided for the taking
of an absolute fee simple title.
6. Where such school properties
stand abandoned for school purposes
there is no reason why the school
houses and other structures may not
be sold and removed.
