DEMONSTRATION
Local School Children See
How Shoe Repairing
Is Done

The First Grade Of Newark public
school, under the direction of Miss
Burton, student teacher, has been
studying the cobbler in industrial
geography. An observation trip was
planned and due to the courtesy and
help of Mr.. Pilnick the trip was
real success.
The children were very much in
terested in the tools and work of the
cobbler, but when Mr.. Pilnick en-
couraged and helped them to operate
the tools and machines in the mend
ing of real shoe much enthusiasm
was shown in the gaining of knowl-
edge.
Not only was the process of half
soling done, but all the processes in
volved were shown that the children
would have correct idea of the in
tricate work undertaken in the shop.
A genuine spirit of cooperation be-
tween the business men and the
school has been greatly appreciated
by the teachers and pupils.

Health Education
at High School
Miss Chadsey and Coach
Mcdonald Start Work
Along New Lines
With Pupils

Health education has started at the
High School under the direction OF
Miss Gladys Marie Chadsey and Mr..
Mcdonald, athletic director. This line
of education was installed at the
local school last week and has made
hit with all the pupils. At the pres
ent time, a group of high school boys
and girls may be seen hiking up
Main Street or playing games on
Delaware Avenue and this now is
part of their daily routine.
Twice daily, three minute drills
are held in the class rooms for the
entire high school. Exercises are
graded in respect to difficult. Cor
rective exercising, posture and other
physical defects will be emphasized
and in the future round shoulders
among school pupils will be thing OF
the past. These exercises will be led
by the students previously trained by
! the instructors and an elective sys'
tenn for the choosing of leaders will be
in vogue.
An innovation since the introduc
ton of health education in the higf
school is the opening of the window:
in the class rooms between periods
All windows must be opened for a
least one minute. In connection witt
the health program, series OF lee
lures will be conducted, giving prac
tical instruction in the following sub
jects: Posture, Sleep, Vision, Use o
Alcohol and Nicotine, Bacteriology
Infection and Contagion, Hygiene
Sanitation, First-Aid, Physiology an
home nursing study in relation o
health to civics. Other points to b
presented in these lectures will b
: elements in dietetics, eugenics an
other subjects that the boys and girl
may plan.
Miss Chadsey will carry on tn
work among the girls, while Mr.. MI
Donald will have the boys in charg

NUMBER 4
Ritter Plant May
Open This Year
Information that Local Busi-
ness Men and Farmers
Are Encouraging
Movement

With the work at the fibre mills
looking brighter than at any other
time since the war, it is encouraging
to learn that there is a probability
that the Ritter plant may be opened
again this summer.
Information to this effect is we'll
spread about Newark and vicinity but
no one can be found to verify the
report. 1t is understood that several
farmers and business men Of this
section have waited on the Ritter
people and requested that the local
plant be opened again.
If this plant is opened it will en-
ploy quite number Of people and
also take care to a great extent of the
tomato crop of farmers in this
vicinity.
From what can be learned several
farmers are contemplating financing
move to open the plant if the Ritter
Company will assure them Of taking
their tomato crops over. 1t has been
sometime since the plant operated
and it would take quite a great deal
of work to get it in shape for opera
tion but it is understood that two
representatives from the Ritter Com
pany have been in town for the past
few days going over the situation
with local business men and nearby
producers.
The Ritter Co. suffered loss re-
Gently when one Of their big factories
was destroyed by fire and whether Oh
not this would be a reason for tn,
!, opening of the local plant is no
known. Newark is in spot of ad
:. vantage with railroads and goot
a roads leading to the plant and it i
claimed that the plant here could b
operated at great deal more prof
, than similar plants and canneries il
% other parts Of the State where tn
% natural facilities are not to be had.

Pasteurized Milk
Urged by Citizen
Action on Question of Milk
to be Acted On Next
Month by Council

The question of pasteurized milk in
Newark still holds high place in
local discussions but it will probably
be next month before any definite
action will be taken on the matter of
the kind of milk that the people of
Newark can drink. The Town Coun-
Gil at it's February meeting decided
that an ordinance should be drawn up
and presented at the meeting of the
body in March.
1t is hardly probable that this ordi-
nance will call for the sale Of only
pasteurized milk but it will probably
regulate the sale of certified, pasteur-
lied and inspected milk. When the
last outbreak of typhoid fever took
place it was evident that some action
would have to be taken by the au-
thorities to see that the milk supply
of the town was better regulated. At
that time several well-known citizens
took steps to install a pasteurizing
plant here and for time it looked as
though such a movement would re-
ceive enough support to be put
through but action and words changed
the situation and it was about decided
that certified and inspected milk
would meet the approval Of most peo
pl as we'll as pasteurized milk.
Fred w. Gehrold, of Newark, wht
is at the present time at Fort Bayard
New Mexico, is interested in the mill
question and writes the following t.
The Post from New Mexico:

Paso (Texas) Times, where pasteur

over the counter, in a town where tn

Newark will realize how necessary
is, to have pasteurized milk. 1t

Elkton Bank May
Pay All Obligations
George Casho, of Newark
Becomes Interested in Pro-
ceedings-R. C. Finney
Receiver

Where the depositors of the Second |
National Bank of Elkton are coming
out is still question that is inter-
esting Elkton, Newark and other
nearby places where persons live who
had money in the bank.
AS predicted last week receiver,
in the person of R. G. Finney, has
been appointed. From statements
made yesterday by those close to the
bank, the depositors will be paid in
full Those in charge of the affairs
of the bank are now collecting all
valuable paper and although it is
thought that it will take sometime for
the collection of all this paper it is
figured that there will be enough of
it to allow full payment.
In connection with the bank failure,
Mr.. George Casho, of Newark, has
become greatly interested. The rea-
son for his interest can be obtained
from the following item from Elkton:
"Another case that has been much
talked about here is that of a Newark,
Delaware man, who claims to have
bought a mortgage from President
Warburton and from him received in
terest on that security. Later, he
said, according to report, he was in
formed that the mortgage had been
paid to Mr.. Warburton. The man is
George Casho. About two years ago,
he says, he bought mortgage for
$4,000 from Mr.. Warburton. The
president of the bank, he says, paid
him the interest regularly until last
December. Then came the closing of
the bank.
"a few weeks ago, this story goes,
he met the man against whom the
, mortgage was filed, on the street. He
, said to the man: Are you little
short Of money? l haven't gotten nj!
t interest for the last three months.
q The man replied that he did not owe
any interest, but had paid Mr.. War
burton the amount of the mortgag,
a in full.
: "Casho has retained Albert D
Mackey, an Elkton attorney, who is
e member of the Maryland Legislature
= and who is now in Annapolis. Ac
Il cording to information received, MI
: Mackey has made a search of tn
IS records Of Cecil county and ha
G learned that when President War
burton sold Casho mortgage ther
j. was no record of the transfer mad
y at the county clerks Office at tina
e time.
,e "It is said that the Casho case
only one of several other legal case
g very much similar in character.

Green Mountain circuit and tentatively

outstanding feature of the 1922 dope
for the race tracks.
The meeting was one of the most in
teresting ever held by members of the
circuit and because of the fact that the
state fair has changed its dates so it
