MIDDLETowN AFTER sPEEDERS
New Chief of Police Fisher Provided
With a Motor Cycle

Automobile speeders will do well to
watch their step when arriving in
Middletown hereafter, as the board OF
town commissioners at its regular
monthly meeting it was decided
to buy a motorcycle for the use of
Chief of Police John Fisher. For
several months there has been an alb
solute defiance of all speed laws on all
four approaches to the town, many
machines having been seen going at
the rate of from forty to sixty miles
an hour. Dissatisfaction over the
manner of estimating the speed OF a
driver who was arrested last week
brought the commissioners to the idea
of buying the machine.
New ordinance regulating the au-
tomobile traffic to the town have been
made and are being carried out with
very little hardship, the state law re-
garding lights, speed, etc., being
strictly followed. In the business dis
trict on Main street all cars are re-
quired to park on an agile of 45 de-
grees, headed in the direction of traf-
fc. This part of the ordinance is
causing some confusion but the ma
iority of the autoists are falling in
line with very little trouble. No ar
rests have been made yet. A warn
ing is given by Chief Fisher which
generally sufices. 1t is the intention
of the town authorities to have the
chief appointed special constable il
order to follow the speeders outside
the town limits and make arrests.

Has the Boyertown, (Pa.) theatre
fire in which so many lives were lost
SO far faded from the minds of our
citizens that they still refuse to de
mand proper exits and safeguards for
our own Smyrna Opera House? We
often think when we sit in our crowd
ed movie theatre what an awful fire
trap it would be if castrophe such as
visited the Boyertown theatre, should
break out in Smyrna. Why our Town
Council has waited so long is hard to
understand. Another exit by all means
Should be provided our opera house.
This could be easily done by cut
ting down one of the windows near
the stage on the West side, and build
ing a broad stairway down into the
yard next to the Coverdale residence.
Uhis exit would relieve the congestion
at the main entrance and with the
stage entrance should provide easy
and quick means of emptying the op-
era house in any emergency. Town
Council should take "time by the for
lock and better provide this safeguard
The cost would be nothing in compari.
son to what it might cost in injuries
yea, even lives, if an alarm of fir,
should be given when the opera hous,
was crowded. It's a serious question
and one in which Council should no
delay.

vegetable crops, which form very
great part of the canning materials.
Especially will the women who work
during the canning season feel the
shortage of labor. This source for
earning money for very great many
families, is the souce from which the
clothing outfits are drawn. With the
corn packers practically shut down
and the pea crop below an average,
not to mention the almost entire alb
sence of tomato canning in Delaware,
makes the outlook for cannery labor
this summer very discouraging for
those dependent upon this former
source of revenue. But the people
general have in the past managed to
dig up some other form of supply for
crop failures, and it will be the same
with the labor deprived of its source
for employment by shut down of the
canneries for the season.-MilforG

Let US not be discouraged over the
flax industry just because of disap-
pointment in not getting the industry
goin this year. With business condi-
tions as they are all over the country
and tightness of the money market,
it is not to be wondered that the flax
corporation was prevented in getting
things in proper shape for the plant
ing season now two or three weeks
overdue. President Charles D. Stock
ly (and much credit is given his loyal
ty-to-Smyrna stand) was anxious to
put the first seasons crop across but
the arrangement he so eagerly sought
did not materialize in time. Hence
the release to the growers and the
holding over to next year. There are
great possibilities in the flax industry
for this community and the outlook is
not doomed by any means. Another
season, let us hope the seed will be
here and distributed in time and that
the corporations affairs will be il
strong shape to meet all promises anC
demands.

What ever can be said about the

Councilman ]. E. Wilson did a good
thing before Town Council in advocat-
ing better street lights at street inter-
sections. The lights should never
have been changed to short arm
brackets. 1t probably is all right to
have the short arm bracket in between
but where lamps are supposed to diff
fuse light up and down two streets,
they should by all means be properly
centered TO give the best service.

Citizens who voted for a bond issue

Citizens who voted for bond issue
for a new school building are anxious
to see these bonds placed and an effort
to get work started during the sum-
mer vacation. With the aid of the

agreed to give 100000 to our propos-
ed $4,000 bond issue, this can be done.
Let us hope things can be gotten in
shape for an early start.
