recent years. Motors are used by
business men to carry them downtown
to work in the morning and home in
the evening. They are used FOR mid

Newark Hero Ordered
to Hawaii

Newark is interested always in
Wilson O'Daniel. He was hero be-
fore the war in all athletic events at
the College. No Delaware man ever
went on the gridiron with more fight
than O'Daniel. He offered and gave
his all smilingly to the game. He
was, too, sportsman and lost his
patience only when he saw yellow
streak or raw deal.
In the war, the same spirit pre-
vailed. He had been to the border
with the Delaware Regiment. At the
call for volunteers, he went to the
training camp and came out with his
Second Lieutenancy. Across seas he
went through the fire, was cited OF
ficially several times, wounded twice
wears his Distinguished Service anc
| Croix de Guerre and came home
leading his personally picked com
pany in "Pershing's Crack Regiment.
Home few days at the Misse

ordered to Arizona as Captain Of tn
25th. He has served as Inspector TO
the Southwest. Now comes word tina
he goes to Hawaii with his regimen
He will probably leave early in tn

Local Shipping
by Christiana
Farm Bureau at Annual
Meeting Brings Up Ques-
ton of Interest to
Local Shippers

With Wilmington establishing her.
self on the riverfront, after many
years of wrangling, it looks as though
Newark was in for an advantage that
has long been obtainable but never
grasped. This is the use OF the
Christiana river from the village OF
Christiana to Wilmington for trans
porting and importing articles that
are shipped to and from Wilmington,
Philadelphia, and other commercial
centers. With railroad rates still at
top figure many local merchants have
been using automobile trucks for the
transportation Of goods they buy and
sell. The Bush Line, of Wilmington,
has service through Newark and it
is well patronized. This company has
ia wharf on the Christiana river in
Wilmington and from this point
makes it's deliveries by a fleet Of
trucks. But should the Christiana be
. opened for traffic to the neighboring
5 village, the boats with freight for
!, Newark, Elkton and vicinity could be
t brought by water to this point and
y their loads then transferred to trucks
+ Although the Bush Line has not made
announcement of such an arrange.
S ment it would not be surprising il
h this company would work on this
is plan, as transportation by boat is thu
If cheapest form.
Il The movement for the deepening
Is of the river to the above point wa
started at the annual meeting OF tn
lie New Castle Farm Bureau last Thurs

New Industrial

Newark may not have it's Chamber

there are a number of public spirited
persons in the town who are always
on the outlook for something to help
the town to progress. The latest
step in this line is the effort being
made to locate the Paramount Reamer

During the war many pleas were madf
to Newark's citizens to supply smokes to,
the bows "Over There" and they sent
them. Gipin Buckingham, the local
Main street dealer, was one of those who
did his ''bit' towards making the KHAKI l.
clad lads happy, but he thought THAT
with the ending of the war it would toe
many moons before he would make simli
lar donations. But alas on Monda.
niobt he made one of the biggest smok' e
donations that was ever made by loca
man. This donation was not one gNea'n

Local Schools
Weather Storm
Although the Finances of the
Local Schools Are Low
They Will Not
Close

With many of the schools of this vi
cinity on the verge of closing because
of the lack of sufficient funds to continue
their work it will be welcome news to
local parents to learn that Newark
schools are not going to be affected Dur
ing the past week the school at New
port was on the verge of closing, when
the generosity of United States Senator
Ball was forthcoming and he assured
the institution $3.50, on which to carry
,ut the work for the remainder OF the
term. Other schools, Mt. Pleasant and
Oak Grove, find themselves in a similar
condition and unless someone comes
across it is doubtful if these two
schools will be able to carry out the
work for the term.
Superintendent Owens, of the loca]
schools, when asked yesterday if the
conditions here were in such shape that
the schools would nave to close, ht
stated that although the financial status
of the local board was not any too strong
the schools would be able to finish ou
the term without closing, although the.
would have to scrape through as eco
nomically as possible.
, One feature that the local school
, have worked out this year, and whic
has saved lot of money for them,
, that soft coal was purchased instead

E is proving very satisfactory and Ina

with Bang" and it is entirely up
to every citizen of Newark to make
this "Bang" one that will ring for
many days. The feature of the cele-
bration will be the large tree on DR..
Hullihen's lawn, which will be wired
and decorated with fancy electric
bulbs, and the gathering around the
tree of the public, and their singing
of the ever loved Christmas carols
which are dear to everybody's heart.

agreed to wire the tree and to furnish
p the current for the lighting of it. Tht
