Wanted--A Name--
Plies For Same
Louis Handloff Offers a Three
Month Ticket for Best
Theatre Name

Here's q chance to win a three
months free pass to the new moving
picture house to be conducted by
Louis Handloff.
Mr.. Handloff announced today that
he was undecided just what to name
his new theatre and that he was going
to leave the matter up to the people
Of Newark and vicinity.
In connection with this he asked the
Newark Post to help in making this
selection and this paper is today
printing coupon for it's readers to
submit a name on. When all these
coupons are received the one that best
suits the judges will be awarded the
prize and the lucky person will be able
to attend the motion pictures free
of charge for three months.
There are no strigS connected with
this offer and everyone is qualified
to enter the contest. The new theatre
is one of the most up-to-date on the
Peninsula and Mr.. Handloff has saved
no expense to have the theatre meet
with the approval of those who at
tend.
Many suitable names have been sug-
gested to Mr.. Handloff but he would
rather have the people at large get
chance to name the picture house
and as a result started this campaign.
Everyone can submit as many names
as she or he sees fit but they must be
submitted on one of the blanks in
today's issue Of the Post.
Those who submit names must do
so on the opening night which will
be Thursday, April 9th.
Mr.. Handloff called the Post from
New York yesterday and announced
that he had arranged to open his
theatre on April 9th with "Way
Down East" as the attraction. This
is one of the biggest pictures ever
produced and has been crowding
houses in New York, Philadelphia,
and other large cities at 50 a seat.
All names must be submitted at the
theatre on this night and there will
be box inside the entrance for the
purpose or receiving these names.
This manner of naming theatres is
often carried out in larger cities but
it is entirely an original idea of Mr..
Handloff to conduct such contest in
a town the size of Newark.

Crops ASain--PeaCh and
Apple Crops Large

Weather conditions up to the pres
ent time have been extremely favor
able for the future of this years fruit
crop in Delaware. There have been
no dangerous warm spells during the
winter and the weather has been con-
tinually favorable during march. AS
result fruit trees are in excellent
condition and there seems but little
danger that peaches and other fruit
will bloom before the normal period.
Peaches and apples in Delaware ap-
pear to be set with buds and if the
weather continues to be favorable for
the next ten days Delaware can look
forward to bumper crop Of peaches
and apples.
This statement was made today by
Dean McCue and it is welcomed by
everyone in the State after the dis
astrous season last year when the
cold weather ruined the fruit crop.
Owners of peach and apple orchards
claim that from the number of buds
per twig at the present, if bad
weather does not set in, the crop this
year will be one of the largest ever
harvested in this State.
The fruit trees have benefited from
the failure of the crop last year, fol

After this Mayor Frazer turned
the chair over to H. Warner McNeal,
vice-president in the absence Of Mr..

from Mr.. Griffin appears in the Post
today in which he boosts the organiz-

Mr.. Griffin was aware of the fact that
he was to be nominated or elected
as president Of the body. Following
Mr.. McNeal's taking charge of the
meeting, Warren Singles read the let

Frank Collins made a motion that
about 200 copies of the bylaws of
the organization be printed. This
motion was carried.
James c. Hastings, manager of the
Home Drug Co., took the floor and
said that he was of the opinion that
various committees should be appoint
ed at this meeting so that action
could be taken by the various men,
bers in their lines of activity.
There seemed to be a great deal of
opposition to the appointing of these
committees at last weeks meeting,
it being claimed that the officers and
those who had charge Of the appoint
ing of these committees should be
given more time to think the matter
over. No definite action was taken
on the matter.

chants to use these days for the pur-
pose of putting up lot of inferior
material for sale, simply for the pur-
pose of clearing their shelves. The
committee has stated that they
would rather merchants would not
enter into the event if they had any
thoughts of this nature in mind. But
the people of Newark and vicinity
need have no fear of any of the local
merchants pulling" any stunts like
this. Newark's merchants have al
ways been noted for their square
dealing and of their big bargains on
special occasions.
On these Dollar Days the merchants
claim that they will outdo themselves
and that the people of Newark will
receive the biggest one hundred cents
worth they ever received for dol
lar.
Many of the local merchants have
been thinking seriously Of having a
Dollar Day but with the organizing
of the Chamber of Commerce it was
thought that this was the time tc
make the master stroke and to have
the event staged with the sanction
of the new body.
Not only will the people of New
ark be offered these rare bargains
that will grace the shelves Of every

country will likewise benefit. The

Cleanup Weeks
Now The Style
Looks as Though Local Civic
Bodies Should Get Together
for This Purpose

Now is the time for a Cleanup
Week. Why not have one? An event
of this kind is always profitable to the
health and beauty of the Community
and this of all times of the year is
the best for a town-wide movement
of this nature.
Wilmington and other towns of the
Peninsula are having Cleanup weeks
at the present time. A clean town
means a healthy town and an attrac-
tive town and what two points makes
town better fitted for it's citizens
and those who may be looking for a
new location.
Newark in the past few weeks has
| been showing a better community
spirit than in a long time, first the
Parent-Teacher association got under
way, then a Chamber of Commerce
and next a first-class ball team Or
ganized to represent the town, so
why not keep the good work up and
brighten up. There are several spots
in the town that could stand a good
cleaning and with the aid of some
grass seed some pretty rough looking
ing lawns could be beautified one
hundred per cent.
Far be it from US to be cellar sniff
ers but the writer will give big odds
that a general cleanup of cellars anc
attics in several places would elimin.
ate fire hazards that now exist. A
general Cleanup week would not only
include the cleaning up of streets ant
yards but also cellars, attics and Other
parts of stores and houses that are
used for storage purposes.
Now that the Chamber of Commerce
is functioning it would seem goot
plan for this body to come togeth
er with the Town Council and Boart
of Health and have a cleanup weel
here in Newark that would result il
the town shining like new dollar.
Do you realize what Clean-Ul
Week means? A clean town means
healthy town, an attractive town. l
means that by little forethought a
this time, little extra effort, you ma.
prevent later on sickness in you
, family or your neighbor's, and at tn
, same time make your premises cred
it to the community. In addition t
this it means that you will make tn
task of the Board of Health muc
easier. 1t is no pleasure to them t
poke around in your backyards o
outbuildings. 1t is, rather, an un
pleasant duty to notify you that yo
, must remedy certain conditions
Avoid this! Clean up, so that whe
+ the executive officer of the Board O
, Health makes his inspection he wi
find a clean town, a town you wi
be proud of, a town you are glad t
r live in. And finally, don't wait TO
your neighbor to clean up! Don
worry about him! He will clean u
either of his own accord or by tn
order of the Board of Health.
