May Have Public
Band Concerts Here
Town Has Two Bands Which Could
Furnish Mu.ic-Academy
Lawn Suggested

Many people of this town are plan
ming at the present time manner in
which there can be public band con-
certs here for the remainder of the
summer.
Newark, unlike very few other
towns its size, has two bands and
good ones. These bands have prac-
tices once week and the people in
back of the movement have as one
plan to ask the bands that on the
night of practice they assemble on
the Academy lawn and give concert.
The plan is have one band play one
week and the other the next weeq and
there is also chance that COM
munity singing plan would be ar
ranged for the same night.
The majority of the larger towns
that have bands are having these con-
certs and the people in back of the
local movement are of the opinion
that Newark should follow this lead
and give its people this form of
recreation.
1t may be that the Newark Chamber
of Commerce will be asked to take
this matter up and help those who
favor the movement put it across.
1t is believed that both the Red
Mems Band and the Continental Band
would be only too willing to take part
in these concerts and that the con-
certs would be favored by the public
is little doubted. The Academy lawn
would make an ideal location for the
band and if those who are trying to
get the movement across are success
full in their efforts concert may be
given inside of the next two weeks.
At the present time New Castle, a
town without band, is organizing it's
musicians for just such concerts.

Continental Fibre
Has Big Outing
Fibre Company's Employees 500
Strong Went to Augustine
Piers

With about eight hundred of its EN-.
ployees, including their families, the
Continental Fibre Co., on last Satur.
day, held its outing to Augustine Pier
10 say that a good time was had by
all those present would be putting it
mildly and if you used all the adiec-
tives that the employees used to de-
scribe the greatness of the event it
would take more than Webster's to
help find the definitions.
But the outing was a success in
every sense of the word and those in
charge cannot be given too much
credit for the excellent program that
was run off. There was not a dull
moment all day. The athletic events
were the feature of the program.
The following committee had charge
of the program: A. H. Messick, C. A.
Short, Howard Leak, John Clark,
Howard McCulley, Harvey Gregg,
William T. Gregg, and Earl F. Daw-
son. Charles Hubert had charge of
arranging for the transportation of
the gathering. 1t took eight large
busses and many private cars to take
the large crowd from here to the piers
and back again.
1t is claimed that the attendance at
this outing was larger than at any Of
the other industrial plants of the
State.
The members of the company Joined
into the spirit of the thing and did not
spare cent in making the event a
blue ribbon one in the annals of the
Continental Fibre Company. Fifty
dollars in cash was given as prizes in
the athletic events and many prizes of
candy were also awarded. The COM
pany's band furnished music.
The first athletic events were to
determine the championship depart
ment and the Office, Bakelite and Ma
chine Shop had representatives in
these events. The score after the final
event had been run off, showed the
Bakelite team to be on top with As
points, followed closely by the Office
with 40 counters, and Machine Shop
was third with 10 points.
In these events George Haney ran
the 100 yards in II 3-5 seconds and
copped first honors.
In the running broad jump Earl F.
Dawson carried the office colors to the
front with a leap of Is feet 1-2
inches.
"Rip" Smith took the standing broad
jump when he travelled through the
air feet II 1-2 inches.
Dawson, Poole and Smith were all
tied in the high jump. Each one
cleared the bar at feet 1-2 inch. The
points were divided.

Routine Business
Before Council
Boys Must Behave Themselves
10 Eliminate Unsanitary Con-
ditions-Finances Good

Many complaints have been received
by the town officials recently of the
action of the younger boys of the
town. Many persons have complained
OF the youths riding bicycles on the
pavements, playing ball in the street,
throwing stones and other stunts that
every boy generally has his fling at.
AT the monthly session of Town
Council on Monday night, Councilman
Wilson told complaint he had re-
celved from John Mote of the action
OF the boys on South Chapel street.
Mr.. Wilson announced that Mr., Mote
had offered to act as a special officer
to stop the actions of the boys, free
OF charge. This offer was accepted
and Mr.. Mote will be sworn in as a
special officer.
Mayor Frazer said that there was
the most unsightly and unsanitarv
condition existing on Main street near
Elkton avenue. This condition results
from rain lying in the cutters until
it is dried up by the sun. All the
members of the Council admitted that
the condition was bad and the men,
bers will have an investigation made
to learn of remedy.
Councilman Wilson said that the
people of Newark, who build houses,
had gotten into the habit of placing
their electric meters on the top floor
OF the houses, and on his motion it
was decided that in the future all cleo
trio meters must be placed in either
the cellar of the houses or not higher
than the first floor.
Mr.. Wilson said that about 80 per
cent. of the electric meters in the town
of Newark were on the top floors of
the houses and that this made it very
hard on the meter readers. He also
pointed out that this was very un-
usual custom.
Mayor Frazer was authorized by
the Town Council to pay note Of
$4,000.
The matter of filling the vacancy
in Council, caused by the recent death
of Councilman Robert Morrison, was
brought before Council when Council
man Colmery nominated Orlando
Strahorn for the office.
Mayor Frazier said that the name
of E. L. Richards had been presented
to him also. No definite action was
taken on the matter and probably
there will be no appointment until the
September meeting.
The report of Town Alderman Nc
Kelvey for the month of July showed
fines and costs amounting to $64
having been collected and turned into

FISH POND ASSURED
All Followers of Ike Walton Have
Chance to Get In

The fishermen of Newark and
vicinity are assured of having one of
the best fishing ponds in the State
The Newark Anglers Association this
week signed twenty-five year lease
with Joseph Eastburn for the use of
the stream near Cooch.
The list of subscribers is fast filing
and as soon as sufficient number of
subscribers have been obtained no one
else will be taken into the association
and so all followers of Ike Walton
had better get their names in.
The contract for the fixing of the
pond is expected to be let this week
and work will soon be started.

Interesting Addresses Big Features
At Farmers Day Annual Celebration
Dean McCue Tells Many Interesting Facts Deawares
Farming improvements Lipman Points Out
Advantages of Agriculture Schools
Attendance Smaller Than Usual Sussex

Although the attendance at Far
mers' Day, held at the Experimental
Farm, last Thursday, was not as large
as in former years, there was goodly
turnout and very interesting time
was had by all those who were on
hand.
Farmers from various parts of the
State started to arrive early on Thurs
day morning and continued to arrive
until the speakers of the afternoon
had taken places on the stand. The
absence of Sussex's farmers was no.
ticeable.
The morning was taken up almost
entirely with the inspection of the
farm at the Experimental Station by
those present. There was also cat
tie judging contest by the Boys and
Girls Clubs of New Castle. This
event attracted a great deal of inter-
est.
There were among those present
farmers who feature various crops,
raise cattle and hogs, or fruit as their
best bet and there were exhibits and
experimental work Of interest. to all
of them.
Probably the most interesting feat
ure of the day was the excellent ad-
dress by Dean C. A. McCue. The
talk of the local man was of interest
to every farmer of the State and he
revealed maAy figures that surprised
even the closest students of the farm
ing game.

CHICKEN THIEVES
Jacob Shew Surprises Culprits
Last Week

Ihe town authorities are at the
present time trying to come up with
chicken thieves who operated here
during the past week.
JACOB Shew and E. L. Richards are
among those who reported hav-
ing chickens stolen from them and il
is known that several other places
were visited last Thursday night.
1t was on this night that Mr.. Shew
heard noise in his chicken house and
thought that it was rats after his
young chickens. He at once went to
the place and came face to face with
man in the act Of carrying off chick
ems.
The man was frightened at the sud-
den appearance of Mr.. Shew, but made
his escape before the local resident
could catch him.
Newark post., 1922-08-09

In opening Dean McCue spoke of
the smallness of the crowd in attend
ance and urged all those present to be
sure and turn out next year and to
bring their neighbors.
The speaker pointed out that the
Experimental Farm presented MANY
new ideas for the farmer and said
that many experiments have brought
good to the farmer and that new ex-
periments are being worked out every
day.
Dean McCue said that the farmers
who came to the experimental farm
just once year, on Farmers Day
could see changes that were taking
place there much better than he could,
who was located their day after day.
In speaking of the various depart
ments that carried on the experiment
tai work, Dean McCue pointed out the
excellency of the work accomplished by
these departments and the results that
their experiments had brought about
IN the work of the farmer today.
He said, that the Agronomy De-
partment was in charge of the field
plots and that one of the features of
these plots this year was the fact
that each was labeled so that the
farmers could go about and see the
results of various experiments with
out guide as had been necessary in
former years. The dean continued by

POULTRY EXHIBIT
One of the Features of Farm
ers' Day; Rehabs in Charge

One especially attractive place of
interest on Farmers Day at the Uni
ersity of Delaware Farms, was the
poultry farm exhibit. Carol Num-
ford, a graduate Rehabilitation stu
dent and now manager of the poultry
farm, arranged exhibition pens of
some exceptionally fine white Leg
horns. The birds We're classed for

used in the plant, attracted much at
tention.

~ The boys and girls started to arrive

State Club Leader, in Wolf Hall, and
then taken to their quarters in Har-
ter Hall.
Yesterday afternoon there was a
sort of get-together meeting held in

agricultural department by Dean C.

List OF Taxables
Is Now Complete
Board Of Education Will Soon Ad.
vertise for Bond
Bids

The local Board of Education has
announced that the list of taxables
who will be effected by the tax in
crease to take care of the coming is
suance of bonds for new school here
has been about completed This work
has taken some time, as the members
of the local Board had to figure on the
boundary of the district affected be-
fore any definite action in issuing the
bonds could be made.
Now that this work is done the
members of the Board are of the opin-
ion that it will not take long before
the advertisements for bids for the
bonds will be placed in the newspapers.
This is about the next step that the
local Board will have to take. Of
course there are many minor details
that will have to be arranged but the
members of the Board are confident
that the larger obstacles have been
overcome.
The bond issue will be for S165, 900,
enough to build part of the new
school. The architect, whom the
Service Citizens are supplying to the
local Board visited here last week and
looked over the ground for the pur-
pose of making notifications. Plans
had already been drawn for the local
school, but due to the fact that the
School Auxiliary will not be able to
give the town any money at the pres
ent time the building of the originally
planned building cannot be carried out
at this time.
Just as much of the new building
as can be built with the money real
lied from the bonds this year will be
erected. 1t will take nearly a year
before the building is completed and
the members of the local Board are
not looking forward to housing any
pupils in the new school before Sep
tember, 1928. Then the High School
and as much of the Grammar School
as possible will be taken care of in
the new structure.
Several repairs and alterations are
being made to the local schools at the
present time, and one major change
which will be announced next week is
on the program.
