Milk Question
in Town Council
Some Definite Action Ex-
pected at Meeting on
Next Monday Night

Next Monday night is the time
when it is thought that the town Of
Newark will know whether or not it
drinks pasteurized milk, inspected
milk or just milk. This is question
that has been before the public so
long that many of the citizens are in
hopes that when Town Council meets
next Monday night the question will
be settled for once and all.
The present milk question came up
with the recent outbreak OF typhoid
fever and the members of Council in
conjunction with the Board of Health
started an investigation to learn the
source of the fever and came upon
the conclusion after many inspections
that the milk of the town should be
under stricter supervision. The town
then became divided on the question
as to whether nothing but pasteur'
lied milk should be served to the peo
pie or whether inspected and certified
milk should be allowed.
Several public meetings were called
by Town Council on the matter ant

New Movie House
Ready Very Soon
Mr.. Handloff Orders Seats
and Misunderstanding
Not Rented

Louis Handloff, the local merchant
who is building moving picture
house on the site of his former de-
partment store, reported yesterday
that the work on the building should
be completed in three weeks. VI
course if there are any more storms
like the one of last week this work
will not be completed in this time.
The seats for the theatre will arrive
here in a few days and Mr.. Handloff
is going to Philadelphia this week to
pick out two frst-class motion pic
ture machines.
The new theatre promises to be one
of the finest on the Peninsula and
Mr.. Handloff stated today that he
hoped to present pictures here at
popular prices that are being run in
the larger cities at high prices. The
opening picture has not yet been Sc
lected but Mr. .Handloff states that
as soon as he is able to ascertain jus'
when the theatre will be ready fol
occupancy he will go to New YorI
and Philadelphia and view some O
the current releases for the purpos
of obtaining the best possible picture
All the pictures that will be run il
the new picture house will be review
ed first and Mr.. Handloff will sho'
only those best fitted for the audi
ences that he expects to cater to.
One of the features that Mr.. Hano
loft is to install is special musics
+ setting for all his pictures. The nam

Health of Town
Back to Normal
No Further Spread of Scarlet
or Typhoid Fever-Ban
Is Lifted

Through the efforts of the local
Board of Health the spread of both
scarlet fever and typhoid fever have
been checked and one doctor stated
yesterday that he hoped persons going
to Wilmington would be careful not
to communicate with anyone of that
city who might have a case of scarlet
fever in their home. The local au-
thorities are of the opinion that the
local outbreak of scarlet fever came
from Wilmington and ask the public
to take all precautions possible to pre-
vent another outbreak.
The quarantines on most OF the
cases have been lifted and as far as
can be learned only one new case has
been reported lately, that being OF
boy whose father was taken down
with the fever at the start of the out
break.
The local schools, all of which were
closed during the outbreak, are nov
opened and the mid-year examina
tions are being held in the Higl
School. All the school rooms wer
thoroughly fumigated and the Boar
of Education feels assured that n
further outbreak will result fror
the opening of the schools.

Young Blizzard Grips
Newark In Fury
Traffic at Standstill - Busi-

Effects-Schools

Southern Points Hard Hit

More than twenty-four hours or
continuous snow fall last Saturday
and Sunday showed Newark under.
That Newark was fortunate in rela- Or
ton to some other towns Of the PENN
sula is evident from the reports re-
ceived from down-State. Some OF
these places were cut off from the
outside world by Saturday noon,
whereas here travel was kept open
pretty well and the trains although
late, were able to make the local
stations.
Only those who were up from their
beds about 1 o'clock Saturday morn
ing can realize how fast the snow did
fall. When most people retired FRI
day night the weather was threaten
ing but few if any expected to wake
up Saturday morning and find the
ground covered with about IL inches
of snow and the storm still raging.
Never since 1899 has worse storm
struck Newark.
The storm, which the weather
bureau officials at Washington, after
looking up their records, said was one
of the most severe in history and eX-
ceeded in the depth of snow fall
only by the long-remembered blizzard
of February 1899, ragged on all day
Saturday.
i Reports of the storm show that
Delaware, Virginia, the Carolinas,
Maryland and the District Of Colum-
q. bia were the storm centers. Virginia

Days of Newark's Sleigh

The recent storm brought back
memories to the "old timers" of when
a snow of this nature meant the con-
verting of Main Street into a speed
way. Every time there was a heavy
snow the horsemen Of this section
hitched ''Dobbin" to the sleigh and
many merry and spirited brush
was held along Main Street which
was closed to all other traffic.
That was in the days Of the inn
when the forbidden "liquid" could be
put up as aside bet. But the sleigh

Choral Club Still
Hunting Members
Local Community Spirit Again
On the Decline-Recital
In Short Time

Community Spirit here in Newark
is again in the old rut. The Christmas
celebration which was community
affair proved big success and the
Choral Club, under whose auspices
the affairs was staged, looked forward
with the hope that the people OF this
town would again support community
undertakings. For time the Choral
Club drew rather large crowds at the
meetings, on Monday nights, but just
certain number turned out each
week and even some of these faith
fu,s' have now ceased to turn out to
the meetings.
Why is this? Newark, one OF the
biggest towns in the State, seems un-
able to support any community un-
dertaking while towns with smaller
populations put over undertakings OF
this nature with bang and there is
always large turnout.
All the officers of the local Chora
Club have strained their every effor
to make go of the affair and arr
still working along this line but tn
results are anything but encouraging
There is not certain clique OF peo
pie running the Choral Club but 1T
community affair and everyone
welcomed and if the people OF tn
town would only turnout to one meet
ing they would be regular patrons.
: The club is making preparation
. for recital in few weeks and

Dora Wilcox.
