Armistice Day
Celebration
Called Off
O'Daniel Post Hurt by Public
Attitude

A general lack of interest on the
part of the public of Newark called
off the plans of the j. Allison
O'Daniel Post of the American Legion
for an Armistice Day celebration. At
ter the question had been opened for
discussion at the regular monthly
meeting of the post in the armory,
last night, many of the Veterans rose
to protest against participation by
the Legion in any half-hearted show
ing which may be planned at a later
date.
A touch of the pathetic hovered
over the meeting as speaker after
speaker arose to decry the public dis
regard for the most recent national
holiday, the memorial to the dead
heroes, who so nobly died" The
citizens of Newark according to the
Legionmen, have looked no further
than to sanction period of 1.-TWO
Minute" reverence, with perchance
the tolling of a bell The plans for a
parade were squelched at the outset
for the reason that available music
cannot be secured with the resources
at the command of the post. There
has been no assurance of assistance
from any other local organizations
The town has taken no action. It
seemed to be the consensus among the
legionairres that display would be
useless.
The new post commander, J. E.
Doughtery, presided over the meeting
for the first time, last night.
Plans were arranged for dance
on the night of November IL. By a
vote of the organization, all members
attending the dance, will be expected
to wear their uniforms. Orville Little
was appointed chairman of the COM
mittee in charge of the affair, and
given the right to appoint four associ-
ates.
c. A. Short spoke favorably of the
action of the local delegates in regard
to the Ku Klux Klan motion which
was defeated in State Convention at
Milford. The comments of all veter-
ans upheld their delegates actions.
Mr.. Short thought that excellent
judgment was shown in defeating a
motion which would have made of the
legion at large trifling organiza-
tion."
Announcement that the winner of
the Ford Sedan on display in the win
dow of the Fader Motor Company
would be determined on November II,

Bible Reading

A Pertinent Resolution Adopted

whereas, There is a strong
forward movement in this coun-
try to place daily Bible reading
in the schools in honor roll of
compulsory education, instead
Of leaving it to the local option
of school boards and individual
teachers, as if it were a trivial
matter, and daily Bible reading
has been prescribed by law in
rapid succession in few years
past, with little opposition, in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Tennessee, Alabama, Iowa,
Ohio and Georgia, having been
previously made compulsory in
Massachusetts,, the District of
Columbia and in New York

Resolved, That we urge that

Concrete Courses Offered:
Portland Cement Associa-
ton Makes Donation

Through the efforts of R. w. Helm,
State Director Of Vocational Educa-
ton, the Portland Cement Associa-
tion has been induced to donate sixty
barrels of Portland cement for use in
the agricultural departments Of the
State. Some work in concrete has
always been required as a part Of the
Farm Shop Course, but during the
war when prices were prohibitive,
this feature Of the work was aban-
doned temporarily.
For the current fiscal year it is
planned to have several weeks work
given to the making of practical
things out of concrete. The schedule
includes the making of fence posts,
manure pits, cisterns, watering
troughs, cooling tanks, septic tanks,
retaining walls, hot beds, cold frames,
etc.
Mr.. Helm was also able to secure
the services of Mr.. Knight, personal
representative of the Portland Ce-
ment Association, for a period of
three months, during which time he
will make demonstrations in eighteen
different high school departments of
agriculture.
The first demonstration was held

ed on the school property, the boys
of the agricultural department doing
the major portion of the work under
Mr.. Knights direction. Patrons of
the school will be welcome at these
demonstrations as they will be held
in the various centers during the next
two months. The completed schedule
will appear in later issue.

CLASSES
OVER-CROWDED
Many Denied Vocational
Opportunities

r. w. Helm, State Director for Vo-
cational Education, made an official
inspection of the vocational work con-
Quoted by the city of Wilmington in
it's Free Evening Vocational School,
during the past week. The work thus
far carried on for the most part is
of an encouraging character, al
though large numbers are being turn
ed away each night the school is in
session, because adequate provisions
have not been made to take care of
them. At the present time there are
102 people who have registered for
work and are not allowed to attend
classes. This is very unfortunate
when we consider that between fifty
and sixty percent of the youths in
Wilmington entitled to high school
education never get into the High
School, but become wage-earners and
contribute to the maintenance of the
school system. A city the size of Will
mington cannot afford to continue to
deny them the right of securing an
education through evening classes.
The present enrolment is 445, who
are pursuing courses along the follow
ing lines: Millinery, Cooking, Sewing,
Electricity, Shop Mathematics, Ele-
mentary Drawing, Advanced Me-
chanical Drawing, Plan Reading,
Machine Shop and Sheet Metal.

Why a Conference ,

Limitation of Armament is
a world phrase, a term for dis.
cussion among statesmen and
diplomats. So broad in scope
that few of us in the rank and
file of everyday citizenship dare
approach it. So serious, so full
of technicalities of international
thought, that we shift the bur-
den of decision to the Halls of
Diplomacy. So far off, we think
the result will have no effect on
us personally. So confused are
writers and thinkers that the is
sue itself has been lost sight Of.
Governor Sproul of Pennsyl-
vania, that unassuming master
of common sense, hit it the other
day in language and illustration
that we can all understand. Ac-
cording to George Nox Mccain,
in the Evening Public Ledger,
the Governor was spending the
day, back home in Lancaster
County of his boyhood days.
, After making a speech to the de-
scendants of the Scotch-Irish
and Quakers who knew his fore
bears, the occasion became
honey and informal. Hand-shak-
ing and reminiscent, they were,
when there came a sudden vi
bration and the far-off subdued
sound of cannon.
Returning to the speakers
stand, the Governor raised his
hand, and calling the hundreds
to attention, he said:
"Did you hear that, my
friends? That was the
sound of a gun on the Gov
ernment proving grounds
thirty-fve miles away. Do
you catch it's full signifi-
canoe?
'Let me illustrate what is
conveyed in the sound you
have just heard in connec-
tion with the universal de-
mand for the disarmament
of the nations.
"The money spent for one
of those projectiles used in
testing that great engine of
war yonder would educate
a boy and girl from their
first day in the primary
school through the succeed
ing years to their gradual
ing day in college or univer-
sity.
"Aside from the sinful
ness of war, it's waste and
its destruction of human
life, there is a practical side
illustrated in this homely
way. Work for universal
disarmament"
Then the Governor stepped
down.
This explains the coming con-
ference. Think of the waste
one shot enough to train and
educate your boy or girl for a
life of service and happiness. In
our rush for gain or power, the
tremendous strain of War in
days of Peace is lost. This con-
ference we are approaching is
not alone one of Diplomats and
Statesmen but conference
where your thoughts and inter-
ests should be expressed-and if
expressed the visiting Nations
will pay respectful and fearful
attention.
This community has an inter-
est and responsibility.
