PASTEURIZATION-
DIR. WATSON
Expert On Health Board Gives
His Views

DR.. Herbert j. Watson, of the State
Board of Health, and also member
of the local board, has the following
to say on pasteurization:
'I do not think that it is practical
for the town to operate pasteuriza-
ton plant. The idea of the local
Board of Health was to have Town
Council pass the ordinance as pre-
sented by the Board. If this ordinance
is passed, it will make it unlawful for
any milk dealer to sell raw milk and
the Board of Health is to see that
no such milk is sold. With the past
experiences of this community with
the contaminated milk supply, it is
almost criminal to serve raw milk
here.
at is argued that pasteurization
will destroy the vitamines, but this
condition can be overcome by placing
about teaspoonful of orange juice a
day to the baby's meals"

MUSICAL TREAT
Newark's Music Lovers Hear
Wilmington Orpheus Club

The Orpheus Club of Wilmington,
packed Wolf Hall last night, in their
first annual concert in this town. The
affair was for the benefit of the Del
aware Review and that publication
realized a goodly sum due to the ap-
probation of the music lovers of
Newark.
Nothing better in the musical line
has ever been presented to this town
and everyone present enjoyed the en-
tire program. Noah H. Swayne, End
the soloist, rendered several selections
in creditable manner.
Walter Dent Smith, editor of the
Review, made the address Of welcome
The staff of the Review feels deep
ly indebted to the Wilmington singers
as they made the trip here for ex'
penses only. Newark will probably
hear the singers every year now as
the University paper staff will make
an effort to obtain the Orpheus Clut
annually.

PASTERIZATION-
DR.. PALMER
Head of University Depart
ment Gives His Opinion

Probably one of the best versed
persons in Newark on the real need
of pure and wholesome milk and the
best manner in which this brand OF
milk can be obtained, is DR.. G. q.
Palmer, head of the Department OF
Bacteriology and Animal Hygiene OF
the University Of Delaware. And this
is what he has to say about the local
milk situation:
with conditions as they exist l
would say there ought to be an
adequate system of inspection. This
I believe to be better than pasteuriz-
ing. But if the town has not enough
money to employ capable inspector
the next best thing is pasteurization
"But if this is not properly handled
little or no value will be derived
Pasteurization should not supplan'
cleanliness, it should only be looked
upon as disease controlling measure
at looks to me as though pas
teurizing plant might be essential II
good man was put in charge ane
all the work of handling the milk was
done at the pasteurizing plant, that i:
the clarifying, pasteurizing, cooling
and bottling Of the milk and tn
sterilizing of the bottles"

Pasteurization Proposition
Discussed by Council
About Fifty Persons Heard Arguments Pro and
Con on Town Ownership Monday Night
Further Information to be Obtaiaed
Further Information to be Obtaiaed

Mayor Frazer answered that the
Clover Dairy, of Wilmington, would
supply the town with milk.
Councilman Wilson said that the
Wilmington company would send milk
here at IL cents a quart and that he
understood that the management Of
the company might be able to CO.
operate with the local milkmen.
DR.. Hullihen said that he was not
in favor Of in any way injuring the
local dealers.
Councilman Beals asked why the
town could not employ an inspector to
inspect the milk supply and source in
stead of going to the expense of in
stalling pasteurizing plant.
"Most of our typhoid cases have
come from carriers as far as l can
learn," said Councilman Wilson.
DR.. Hullihen said that there seemed
to be only two alternatives in the
matter and they were, either to have
the milk pasteurized, or to have an
inspector. He thought the latter
method was open to all kind of
errors and that many uncertain ele-
ments might creep in. Pasteurizing
kills germs, was claimed by the Uni
versity President.

Christiana Has
Fire Company
Nearby Community to Install
Volunteer System---Meet
Thursday
George w. Appleby is President

1t will not be long now until
Christiana has fire company of it's
own and then the people of that COM
munity will feel much safer. There
are between 800 and 400 persons
living in this thriving little town but
as yet they have never had any fire
protection so that the announcement
of company Of fire fighters having
organized will come as good news to
everyone living in Christiana and
vicinity.
The new organization which is to
be known as the Christiana Fire Co.,
held meeting last Thursday night,
at which time the constitution and
bylaws of the company, as drawn up
by j. Pearce Cam, Newark attorney,
were presented and accepted.
Many of the more progressive men
of the town have been after an or
ganization of this nature for many
years but their efforts have never
been rewarded until now. At the
present time there seems to be some
opposition to the formation Of the fire
company but it is thought that those
who are opposing the movement will
soon join hands with those backing
the movement and that harmony will
reign.
At the meeting last week there WI
good attendance and the meeting
was adjourned to meet again tomor-
row night, January ~, at which time
it is hoped that everyone who was not
at the last meeting will be on hand
and help to make the new company a
success.
The following officers have been
elected to guide the new company in

PUBLIC COMMITTEE
Mayor Announces Body on
Pasteurization Investigation

At the special meeting of the Town
Council, last Monday night, in re-
gard to pasteurization, the Mayor
was vested with the power to appoint
a committee to obtain further infor-
nation on the cost and up-keep Of a
pasteurizing plant for the town.
Mayor Frazer announced the per-
sonnel of this committee yesterday,
which was, E. C. Wilson, Alfred A.
Curtis, John S. Shaw, A. L. Beals and
Charles B. Evans. This committee
will report at another special meeting
of Council next Monday evening.
At the meeting on Monday night
it was decided that sufficient figures
had not been obtained for any definite
action by Council and it will be the
duty of this committee to secure this
data.

Newark Still Haven
for Petty Thieves
Sortman's Music Store Entered
---Records and Electrical
Appliances Stolen

That Newark needs more police
protection was brought forcibly to the
front again on last Thursday night
when the music store of I. Harry
Sortman, on Main Street, was broken
into and about 5000 worth Of mer-
chandise stolen.
Just when the thieves broke into
the place is not known but from the
manner in which they left things they
must have had lots of time to work.
From the manner of entrance it
seems that it might have been the
same culprits that visited the Sort
man store who broke into several
other local business places and stole
cigars, cigarettes and smoking needs.
A Jimmy" was evidently used to pry
open window in the wash room at
the rear of the store.
Mr.. Sortman, proprietor of the
store, left his place of business early
on Wednesday night and at that time
the store was securely locked. 1t
was one of the clerks of the store who
discovered that the place had been
broken into when she opened up for
business on Friday morning. The first
sign to show the work of the culprits
was the rack in the center of the store
used for the display of graphophone
records. When the store was closed
on Thursday night this rack was
filled with records but on Friday
morning it was was like "Mothel
Hubbard's cupboard" bare. Further
investigation showed that not only
had about 80 records been stolen but
that vacuum cleaner, electric stove
and an electric perculator had alst
been taken. Whether the thieves
meant to make a clean sweep will
the vacuum cleaner is not known bu
they surely cleaned up any mark
that might have offered a clue t.
Officer Tyrens who investigated tn
: case.
The culprits must have been rathe
stout or rather short for they brok
out the transom in the rear door 0
,, the store but evidently found tina
they could not use this means Of en-
: trance as well as the window in tn
wash room.
8 The thieves made a trip to the cas-
register and opened it but Mr.. Sort
man had taken all the money out Q
this place and therefore no cash wa

School Children
Have Demonstration
Local First-Grade Students
See Practical Side
h.. of Studies

Little did A. j. Wagner, the local
blacksmith, think that he could take
a part in the education Of the children
of Newark but he has and many other
business men fthe town will be call
ed on to help educate the "kiddies" of
the primary school. A system has
been installed in the first grade
whereby the children studying there
are being given a chance to study
both technically and practically.
At the present time the children OF
this grade are studying "The Black
smith," Every man and woman has
studied this little piece and knows
how interesting it is but the present
day students are being given an even
more interesting side Of the story for
they are being shown just how the
blacksmith works.
During the past few days these
children have been taken to the black
smith shop of Mr.. Wagner, on South
College avenue and there shown and
explained the various items that the
"smithy" uses in his work.
The first day the children were
taken tothe shop the blacksmith made
horseshoe while they looked on and
then explained the uses Of various
tools of the shop. 1t was hoped tina,
horse could be shod at that time but
there were no horses brought in. Bu'
local man was in the shop at the
time and stated that if the children
would be brought back in a few day.
he would have a horse there to b.
shod. The youngsters were takel
back this week and alas there wer'
, seven horses there to be "half-solet
and heeled."
The children watched Mr.. Wagne
! as he shod each of the animals an
, now they can read "The Blacksmith
, and have much better understand
E tings of the story than ever before.
Miss Pauline Rutledge is teache
r of the first grade and in charge Q
e the work, being assisted by Mis-
{ Anna Marvel, a student teacher. Th
t teacher expects to carry out this lin
: of work in other industries and ever
e business man of Newark can be of
big help in educating these childre
h along up-to-date lines by co-operat
: ing with the teachers in these prat
f tical demonstrations.

that it might make the price of milk
prohibitive to the poorer people Of the
town. He said that this would prove
an unbearable hardship.
Mayor Frazer was the next to take
the floor and he explained that at first
he was very much opposed to the town
pasteurizing the milk but that he was
now almost convinced this must be
done and that it would surely bring
the town up-to-date if a plant was
installed. He further suggested that
the old pumping plant, now idle, be
used to house the pasteurizing plant
should it be obtained. The Mayor
continued that the idea he thought
the best was to have the milk pro-
ducers bring their milk to the pas
teurizing plant and there it would be
pasteurized, bottled and capped and
all the milkmen would have to do was
to come to the plant and load theil
wagons. He pointed out that this
would take a great deal of the present
expense and work off the milkmen's
shoulders.
In continuing the Mayor said, that
the argument had been put up to him
that no other town operated a pas
teurizing plant but that the fact mus
be taken into consideration that be
tween 500 and 600 young men ant
women come to this town each year
something that no other town of tn
peninsula can boast Of, and that tn
town must take all precautions posi-
BILE to protect these young people. TIL

A NORTHEASTERNER
Newark and Vicinity Has a
Weather Mixture

The worst storm of the winter
struck Newark and vicinity early this
morning. Nearly all the peaceful
citizens Of the town must have been
tucked away in their feathery nests
when the storm started but there was
about an inch of white evidence on
the ground when they arose this
morning as evidence of the visitor.
Shortly after daybreak the snow
changed to rain and hail and con-
tinued so. This was accompanied by
a wind of high velocity which caused
quite great deal Of damage through
the countryside. Local electric wires
were blown down, as were several
trees, including one in the grove Of
Red Mems Home.

A Pasteurizing Plant Here
Would Cost About $65OO
This is the Figure Set by Expert at Meeting in
Town Hall
May Use Old Pumping Station

The question, SIS Newark's milk
supply to be pasteurized?" still re-
mains the problem Of the day.
During the past week there has
been hardly a person who has the
town at heart that has not discussed
this problem and both the pro and
ron have forcible arguments that they
set forth.
In the Town Hall, on Friday after
noon, the first real definite informa-
ton on the subject Of pasteurization
was obtained by a number Of the
townspeople who attended meeting
arranged by Mayor Frazer. Among
those present at this meeting besides
the Mayor were, Mrs. F. M. X. Foster,
Mrs. John Shaw, Mr.. and Mrs. c. o.
Houghton, Councilmen E. C. Wilson
and ]. C. Willis, DR.. Walt Steel, DR..
G. A. Harter, and Ernest Frazer.
At this meeting H. Burley Max
we'll, representing the A. H. Reed
Creamery and Dairy Supply Co., one
of the largest producers of the milk
pasteurizing plants in the country
was present and pointed out the cost
and advantages to be derived from 8
plant to take care of the quantity Of
milk used in Newark.
Before the arrival of Mr.. Maxwell
several of those present at the meet
ing expressed various opinions on tn,
question of installing a pasteurizint
plant. DR.. Steel said that from wha
he had learned it looked as though i
might be very expensive proposition
to install a pasteurizing plant an,

When Town Council convened on
Monday night in the Town Hall, the
Council Chamber was filled to over
flowing. This meeting was for the
purpose Of discussing pasteurization,
and that the town as whole is in
terested in the matter was shown by
the fact that over fifty persons were
in attendance at the meeting besides
the regular members of Town Coun-
Gil. In the audience were about ten
ladies of the community.
The meeting was opened by Mayor
Frazer, who read the ordinance of the
Board of Health which gives that
body control Of the milk supply Of the
town and which further signifies that
nothing but pasteurized milk be sold
in Newark.
DR.. Walter Hullihen, president of
the University of Delaware, was
among those present and he asked
that anyone wishing to discuss any
point at the meeting be allowed to dc
so without standing in the usua
parliamentary manner. This permis
sion was granted by Mayor Frazer.
The President of the University wa:
the first to speak and he asked i
there was any other wa yto Obtain
pure and clean milk in Newark with
out pasteurizing.
