FIRST STEPS TAKEN FOR
NEW YEARS PARADE
Meeting in Arrnory Last Night
Starts the Ball
Rolling

The proposed New Years Day pa
rade to take place in Newark, received
it's initial push last evening at meet
ing of interested citizens held in the
Armory. There was no definite action
taken until steps are taken to "feel
out" the town and see how the propo-
sition will go.
Temporary officers of a General
Committee of over 25 men were chosen
however. These men are DR.. George
w. Rhodes, acting chairman, and Will
liam Tierney, secretary.
A committee, including Ira Kilmon,
Francis B. Moore and Ira Shellender,
was appointed to lay plans for col
lecting money for prizes and expenses
from the business men of the town.
1t is expected that the Chamber of
Commerce will heartily endorse the
plans at their next meeting.
Further plans and definite action
will no doubt be taken at the next
meeting, to be held on Tuesday even
ing of next week, at 7.30 o'clock.

WALTER C.. CURTIS
SUCCUMBS TO
HEART ATTACK
Prominent Resident Expires
Suddenly Saturday. Shock
to Relatives and Friends
FUNERAL HELD MONDAY

Mr.. Walter C. Curtis, aged CT
years, died suddenly shortly after
midnight Friday night, at his home
on upper Main Street, death being
directly due to sudden attack of
heart trouble. Mr.. Curtis had shown
no signs of illness of serious ma
ture and had attended the perform
ance of "The Microbe of Love" at the
Opera House earlier in the evening.
Upon reaching his home, however, he
complained of sharp pains. DR.. Walt
H. Steel was Immediately summoned
but Mr.. Curtis had collapsed before
aid could be given. The members of
his immediate family rushed to his
bedside. The sick man failed to rally
from the attack and died in few
hours.
Deceased was a son of the late S.
Minot Curtis and many years ago was
connected with the Curtis G. Brother
Co., paper manufacturers. He retired
from business probably 20 years ago.
Until few years ago he owned and
lived at "The Knoll" Delaware and
South College Avenues, which the
University of Delaware bought as a
home for the president of the insti-
tuition. After selling his old home
Mr.. Curtis with his cousin, Miss Fran
ces Hurd, who made her home with
the Curtis family for many years,
lived at Atlantic City for time, but
returned to Newark two years ago and
bought a small property on Quality
Hill, where he and Miss Hurd lived.
Mr.. Curtis was unmarried. A brother
and sister died some years ago.
Former Chancellor Charles M. Curtis,
Alfred A. Curtis, Mrs. Annie NJ.
Cooch, of Ivy, Va, Louis Curtis and
Mrs. Delaware Clark are cousins of
the deceased. He was member of
St. Thomas Episcopal Church and a
graduate of the University of Della
ware. Mr.. Curtis had many friends
and while he had not been active in
local affairs for years he took keen
interest in all matters pertaining to
the town.
The funeral was held Monday after
noon, with services at ST. Thomas
Episcopal Church., of which Mr.. Cur
tbs was a member. The funeral was
attended by many relatives and close
friends of the deceased. Interment
was made in the adjoining cemetery
and was private.

FOR LIGHTS
ON DEPOT ROAD
Sidewalks Also Wanted by
Residents of Danger Zone.
Chamber of Commerce
to Help
APPEAL TOLEVY COURT

The residents of Depot Road between
the Women's College and the P. B. &
w. station are taking matters in their
own hands relative to the dangerous
situation on Depot road at night due
to the total absence of lights along
that highway. Tired of waiting and
hoping for some one to remedy the
trouble, the residents the latter part
o flast week headed by R. J.iColbert,
prepared and circulated a petition to
the effect that the conditions of the
highway at night were of extreme
danger to pedestrians and motorists
alike and appealed to the Levy Court
to continue lights from the town
limits on down to the Pennsylvania
Railroad station. The petition met
with instant approval on the part of
the residents of the section and every
property holder affixed his name to
the document.
At the Chamber of Commerce din
ner on Thursday night, the issue was
again brought up informally. Mr..
Hastings moved that the Chamber
bring pressure to bear upon the Coun-
ty or property holders to lay walk
along the lower Depot road. The mo-
tion was amended at the suggestion
Of Mr.. Singles to include the provision
for lights. At meeting Of the
Chamber of Commerce to be held at
an early date, that body will act Off
cially upon the matter.
With both the Chamber of Com
merce and the citizens most effected by
the dangerous state of affairs work
ing hard for remedy for the evil,
there is no doubt but that the Levy
Court will give the matter its i'm
mediate attention and some progress
may be expected especially in the mat
ter of lights in very few weeks. The
time has apparently come when there
must be something done. The many
and devious ways of the we'll known
"red tape" have been exhausted. There
is no chance of passing the buck now.
Installation of lights and that soon is
the only way to appease the long-suf-
fering public who claim Depot Road
as their abiding place.

diplomacy and politics, will deliver
series Of lectures to the students OF
the University of Delaware and to
the people of Newark this winter.
The first of the series is scheduled
for December 18th, at which date he
will make two addresses, one to the
combined student bodies of the Uni
varsitv at 100 a. m. and the other
to the residents of the town at 800

relating to some economics or political

Franks knew his subject and deliver

driving the truths of his work home.
torcibly and clearly. In this, Mr..
Franks was eminently successful. In
opening his address, he laid a few
figures before the men of Newark
which were somewhat of a surprise.
He stated that production of corn,
wheat, potatoes, fruit, everything but
hay, had greatly fallen off in units
per acre in the period from 1909 up
to 1919.
That this falling off both in pro-
duction and also in the gradual de-
crease of farmers throughout the
country, one is led to believe, said Mr.
Franks, that farming is becoming a
lost art in some sections. Then he
made the astounding statement that
out of all the immense quota of farm
ers in this country today, only one
per cent of them are "skillfully and
technically trained farmers" The
same goes for those engaged in manu-
facture.
The one way, according to Mr..
Franks, in which the farming and
manufacturing interests of this ma
tion can be put on such a production
basis that will allow US to compete
with other countries, is Vocational
Education. We can never hope to
wrest the South American business
away from Germany and other coun-
tries, with the enormous amount Of
unskilled labor in the United States
today. Tho those young people who
find the interior of school room un-
interesting and who feel that they are
not getting what they want-to those
older people who feel that without a
more thorough course in their par
ticular line of work, they will fall by
the wayside in favor of younger,
more skillful man-to every one who
wants to better himself without losing
his means of livelihood Vocational
Training is the one remedy which the
United States Government has to
offer them.
Mr.. Franks then touched upon, in
closing, the rapid strides forward
which have been taken by the Fed
eral Board for Vocational Education,
headed by Herbert Hoover. He spoke
particularly of relation of this work
to home building, the universal oc-

THANKSGIVING DINNER
A GREAT SUCCESS
University Family Gathers at
Fourth Annual Affair in
Old College
MUSIC PLEASES

The fourth annual Thanksgiving
dinner for the Faculty, students and
friends of the University of Delaware
took place last night and all present
voted it the best yet given under the
able leadership of A. G. Wilkinson.
Upwards of three hundred and
fifty persons gathered at the long
tables in Old College and gorged
upon roast turkey and all the fxin'
that go hand in hand with that noble
bird. Then there was plenty of cigars
and cigarettes to top off the big din
ner. After William P. White started
the singing he was relieved of further
duties for long time, for the crowd
kept right on singing without a
leader.
Among those who spoke to the as
semblage after being introduced by
Earl Brandt, President of the Student
Council, were Dean E. L. Smith, H.
Rodney Sharp, A. G. Wilkinson, busi-
ness administrator, and Everett c..
Johnson.
Mr.. Sharp, who had been absent
from these dinners for two years in
which period he had travelled around
the world, spoke briefly upon the out
standing features of his wonderful
trip, in which he spent several hours
with Bayard Carter, Newark boy,
now in Oxford University, England.
Mr.. Sharp stated, however, that he
was delighted to be back with the
boys and expressed his desire to con-
tinue to boost the University in every
way possible.
Dean Smith spoke briefly upon the
need of more American youth in the
Universities of England and France,
and hoped that Delaware would con-
tinue to be we'll on the map in this
department as we'll as the other ones
in years to come as she has in the
past.
The absence of DR.. Hullihen was
regretted by all the speakers, a tele-
gram was sent to him by the student
body wishing him speedy recovery.
Later in the evening, several very
charming musical number were given
by Mrs. Clarence Killen, Of Whining
. Ia
versity faculty. Mrs. Killen played
several old time airs upon the piano,
and was accorded great applause.
Prof. Levine proved to be an expert
violinst and his splendid playing i'm
mediately won him the plaudits of the
students in no small measure.
The College Orchestra furnished
music throughout the dinner.

first cast upon Edmondson when it
was learned that he boasted of hav-
ing won lot of money shooting crap
and showed large roll of bills to his
associates Saturday evening. When
he did not appear for work Monday,
and when it was learned that he hired
car from a friend for SIS to go to
Philadelphia, officials were almost
certain that they had the thief.
Constable Ellison served the war
rant upon Edmondson yesterday
morning, and Immediately took him
to Wilmington, where he was ar
raigned before Attorney General
Townend. He was held without bail
awaiting the results of the grilling.
Misses Huntley and Skewis, C. A.
Nutter, head waiter, and Mr.. A. G.
Wilkinson, testified at the hearing.

delphia on December 18th and lecture

tion in town and his visit will be a
welcome one. Incidently he is COM
poser of the song, "Our Delaware" !"
A special invitation is extended to the
