HenlOpen Grange

Questions pertaining to the proposed
changes in the school aw-eliminating
vocational training, ETC., were the prin-
cipal topic under discussion at the meet
/ ing Friday evening, February End. Hen
| lopen Changers expressed themselves as
unanimously opposed to any legislation to
! in any way cripple the present vocational
program in the schools or to approve of
omy' to discontinue the extension work.
The work and the workers are of un-
measurable benefit to the entire commun-
ity, both town and county. Because the
work is not partisan and doesn't go about
blowing a tin horn to call the attention
of everyone to its presence, its benefits
are not realized by persons used to the
class of lf-praiSe- trumpet blowers. This
sort of economy appears to us as penny
wise-pound foolish" propaganda.
This Grange was represented at the

PROPOSED CHANGES
In OUR AUTO LAWS
Bills To Amend Present Acts Intro
duced In House By Represen-
tative HOlcOmb.

Bills aiming to amend the motor
vehicle laws in the interests of great
er safety were introduced by Repre-,
sentative Holcomb on Monday. They
are advocated, it is understood by the
Delaware Safety Council. Among them
was bill revising the present method
of issuing licenses. 1t divides into
three classes, motor vehicle operators
paid drivers and drivers of public SER
vice vehicles and gives the Secretary
of State further power in the matter
of issuing licenses.
A new section is proposed to be
written into the law giving the right
of way to vehicles approaching from
the right, according to another of the
bills.
What is regarded as an important
measure is the bill which would re-
quire reports of accidents to be made
to the Secretary of State by Justices
of the Peace, operators involved in ac-
cidents and coroners, and makes such
reports public records. This bill, if en-
acted into law, would permit a record
to be kept of accidents throughout the
State and enable the authorities to
check up on reckless drivers who have
figured in more than one accident.
Another bill would increase the pen
alties for driving a motor vehicle
while intoxicated. The fine for the first
offense is set at from $100 to $500,
with or without Imprisonment for not
more than one year. The fine for sub
sequent offenses ranges from 5000 to
81 900, and Imprisonment for not less
than three months or more than one
year is obligatory. Conviction also
would make it obligatory on the State
authorities to revoke the license of
such a driver for a period of one year
and stipulates that such license shall
not be granted again until the Secre-
tary of State is convinced that it is
proper to do so.
One of the bills is aimed to curb the
reckless driver and would repeal the
present speed law, putting the burden
of evidence on reckless driving and
also establishing maximum rate of
speed which shall be regarded as evil
dence of reckless driving.
Another measure defines reckless
ness by pedestrians in using the high
ways and makes such recklessness a
nuisance.
Increased fines are provided for op-
Grating an unregistered vehicle and
the fine for such offense is placed at
not less than $25 nor more than $1OO.
One of the bills also would require
the Secretary of State to examine in
to the safety of public service vehicles
before they are registered.

ents were given the little grand
daughter, all of which were useful and
some quite valuable. The evening end

fair and the guests hope to be present
when the second anniversary comes
around.
