That Academy Fence

The old Newark Academy, with it's bit
of lawn and wonderful old trees, is one Of the
landmarks of the town. 1t is the one thing
on Main Street that recalls the Newark of
yesterday. The old building has a history
dating back to the Revolution and sentiments
and memories crowd around it that are
worthy of preservation. There is, even in
this day of rush and gain, sort of dignity
that challenges respect. With all our pro-
gress and development the front campus of
the old Academy is the one spot of restful
green in the town, that welcomes all.
Newark chershes the place Even those
of this younger day have reverence for the
Memories of those, older, and of the yester-
days.
Speaking therefore for the town, we be-
lieve we voice it's sentiments when we call
attention to the disreputable excuse for a
fence A few sticks of wood, apparently
picked from the scrap pile, and strands of
bent and broken-twisted wire make up the
alignment to keep the public off the grass.
1t would crudey become fence to keep the
goat on the town dump, but as for the pur-
pose and place used, it is reflection on the
towns very decency. We do not know just
who is responsible, but let's fix it up. Very
little expense and very little time is neces-
sary. 1t could so easily be made beautiful
spot little attention to the lawn and
we would all enjoy it. This isn't said in

TWO FISH STORIES
One Local News-The Other
a Historic Fact

Dean E. Laurence Smith, John
Miller and w. E. Hays fishing from
row boat in the Bohemia river
Saturday afternoon caught 331 white
perch in two hours. Mr.. Miller who
is an expert perch fisherman guided
the party to the edge Of the grass
just off shore where the fish feed and
it was not long until school of them
was found. The boat was anchored
and using spreaders it was not un-
usual for the fishermen to yank out
two fish at one time. 1t was A o'clock
when the school of perch was found
and by 6 o'clock 331 had been caught.
There was a fisherman who lived
near Abraham Lincoln that told such
outlandish fish yarns that he acquired
reputation of being the biggest liar
in the county So to prove the stories
Of his wonderful catches, he bought a
pair of scales. After that he used
them to verify his statements. One
day says Lincoln, happy father sent
over to borrow the scales to weigh the
newly arrived baby. The child, ac-
cording to the scales weighed 70
pounds.
Of course, all fishermen have a
poetic license not permitted in the
business world and we always enjoy
a good fish story-all of which leads
us to inquire whether there is a new
adding machine on the market.

carping criticism but just speaking plainly.
1t just doesn't represent what we think of
Newark. Let's correct it,
Denny Was Governor I64 Years Ago

That William Denny was Governor of
Delaware 1874 years ago attracts attention.
Especially interesting to note that what was
virtually the first charter of Newark was
secured through William Denny, acting
Governor in 1857 of "the three lower coun-
ties on the Delaware" To this Governor,
King George of England referred in his
grant to Newark as "our trusty and well-be-
loved William Denny Esq" He was Lieu
tenant Governor under Thomas and Richard
Penn, Governors of Pennsylvania to which
Delaware territory then belonged. The grant
to Newark from King George made as a
market town, privileged to hold street mar
kets Wednesdays and Saturdays and Coun-
ty Fair once year. Twelve years later
Newark was mentioned in printed account
as "a suitable and healthy village, not too
rich or luxurious, where real learning might
be obtained" At that time Newark was
written NEWARK

Retirement of Harry Mayer

The retirement of Harry Mayer from
the Industrial Accident Board will be
distinct loss to the State. Probably no man
in the State is more familiar with the work
and certainly there are none more respected
for method and manner of his dealings. To
him, with the other members, is due the
credit for the wonderful success of this new
and important function of our State Govern
ment.
The Act providing for the Board does
not provide for bipartisan Board Gov
ernor Townsend, however, recognized the
wisdom of minority representation so he ap-
pointed Mayer, a prominent Democrat. By
so doing he brought storm of protest from
many of his own party. But the appoint
ment has justified itself not only in the
ability and service shown by the minority
member but also in preventing a future
tampering of the Act.
The request of Mr.. Mayer asking that
his name be not considered for reappoint-
ment is to be regretted. He has served at
time when the work was most difficult. The
organization Of only a few years is now suc1.
that it ranks high with similar, departments
of other st.Aes
