LEGION FUND FOR WIDOWS AND

DELAWARE'S ALLOTMENT OVER
SUBSCRIBED BY $4,000 SHOWN
1889 Was Melted From Sale of Pop
pies-Smyrna Raised $3.50 of the
Allotment Others Subscribe

Once again Delaware has gone over
the top in a campaign. This time it
was for the American Legion fund for
widows and orphans of service men
and disabled veterans. While the al
lotment for Delaware was $4,000,
$15,980.57 was subscribed, according
to figures just announced. The sale
of poppies netted $939. The cam
paign to raise the $4,000 was con-
Quoted actively during the week from
May % TO 80. For a time during the
campaign it looked almost as though
the workers would fail to obtain the
States quota, but by dint of hard
work in the closing hours when the
last day of the campaign arrived, it
was known that the goal had been
more than reached Added to the
$1,000 approximately, which was re-
ported as having been subscribed up
to that time was the splendid sum of
$1,200.10 reported by New Castle as
the amount subscribed in that town,
the amount from the sale of pOppies
as reported above, the sum of S528.78
as the proceeds Of the Westminster
Choral Club performance at Long
wood and additional amounts reported
by each of the state towns. What the
various subdivisions of the state sub
scribed to the campaign is shown in
the following figures: Wilmington,
/ $1O,61O; Dover, $1,8O244; Newark,
! $244; Milford, 1882; Harrington,
( $466.25; Smyrna, $3.50. Sussex coun-
ty contributed S439. The success of
this undertaking was achieved under
the direction of Jay NJ. Holmes, State
Director for the American Legion in
Delaware; J. Alex. Crothers, State
Commander for the Legion; Josiah
Marvel, chairman Of the State Citi-
zens Committee and J. Huber DEM
campaign manager, together with the
various committees and agencie;

WATCH MAIN ROAD ARTERIES
Autos Must Halt Before Turning from
Side Roads Under $25 Fine

All motorists driving from a by
road onto a State highway from now
on will be required to stop to see that
the way is clear along the main road
before they cross or turn into main
artery of travel. Warnings requiring
motorists to stop have been placed
throughout the State by the State
highway police and hundreds of per-
sons have been warned to stop before
turning into a main road from
cross-road. But from Monday arrests
were started to be made by the police
where motorists violate this rule,
which is to guard against possible
accidents at intersections. The warn
ing signs were posted two weeks ago
and the police believe now that suf-
ficient time has been given all users
of the roads to become acquainted
with this new safeguard. A fine of
S25 and costs goes with each violation
of the new traffic rule the State High
way police department announces.

Lewis-Returned to Their Father


William and Charles Cannon, IA
and u years respectively, hailing
from Philadelphia, walked into town
Friday evening tired, worn-out and
with feet blistered. They were ques-
toned by Chief of Police Lewis and
were found to be runaway boys. They
told a story of a cruel step-mother
and were on their way to Rehoboth.
They came from Philadelphia to Will
mingtbn by boat, got a ride to ST.
Georges and "hoofed it, the rest of
the way to Smyrna. Chief Lewis
took charge of them, giving them
their meals and taking them to his
home while he made inquiries con-
Cerning them. The boys had been in
mates of st. James Home after the
death Of their mother, several years
ago. Their father had married again
and had taken them back home and il
was from this home they ran away.
The chief kept them until Monday.
On Sunday they spent the whole day
at Chief Lewis home where Mrs.
Lewis, with a tender care talked to
them and made them happy. In the
meantime Chief Lewis got in COM
munication with the boys father, POO
Jackson street, and the carfare for
their return was telegraphed. Chief
Lewis took them to Clayton, put them
in charge of the conductor. They
were to be met at Broad street. Phil

SMYRNA 5-DAY CHAUTAUQUA

on the School Grounds, Saturday

The fve-day Swarthmore Chautau-
qua which has been holding the inter
est of its supporters, closed its pro-
gram Saturday. Miss Everett, the
platform Superintendent, so delighted
with her stay in Smyrna was anxious
to get enough signatures to assure
the coming back Of Chautauqua for
its 18th consecutive year, but enough
guarantors were not secured under the
old plan. Then the talk of Smyrna
and Clayton joining in a community
affair was launched but still enough
guarantOrs seemed not to be secured.
Now an effort to underwrite the guar
antee by having 120 Obligate them
selves to purchase $1,000 worth OF
tickets and dispose of them as they
desired, provided they would not sell
them for less than the season ticket
price is being worked up but with what
success remains to be seen.

This aught not to be so; neither do
think the people who once formed this
prosperous society are willing it

pastor in those prosperous days, when
a great revival was had | therefore,
thru your columns, appeal to the
former members and friends of Sew
ersOn's Church to join me in restoring
the building far enough to protect it
from decay. 1t is said that the pulpit
furniture and organ were taken by
some friends to a safe place for pro-
lection. | am sure they will be glad
to restore the same. 1t will not be a
difficult matter for us to meet on the
grounds and repair the church-then
hold a service some Sunday in late
summer or early fall, and an annual
service each year. | would be glad to
know the feeling of former members
and friends of old Severson's and the
children of the parents who wOrshiped
there-Respectfully, r. K. Stephen

covered about $50 o'clock by Mr..
Moore's daughter, who went outside
to get pitcher of water just as the
family was preparing to retire for the
night. A call was sent to the Middle

promptly, but the fire had gathered
so much headway when discovered
that the buildings could not be saved
Attention was directed to keeping the
flames confined and from spreading

FIREMEN's CONVENTION PLANS
Coming State Gathering in Smyrna
July Promises to Be Red Let
ter OccasiOn-New Fire House

Kipling's immortal words, Lest We
Forget" apply just as we'll in Smyr-
ma as they do in London. And the
event we must keep in mind is the
State Firemen's Convention which will
be held in Smyrna on July 8th. This
will be an opportunity for a display
of civic pride in our town, as well as
a change to demonstrate again the
hospitality for which Smyrna people
are noted throughout the State. Let
everybody who is interested in the de-
velopment and progress of Smyrna,
do all they can to aid our Firemen in
making not only the visiting Fire
Companies, but the thousands of peO-
pie who will be drawn to our town
that day, feel a genuine and hearty
welcome and depart with a desire to
"Come Again" In fact let US make
those two words the town slogan. Not
only the streets should be gaily dec
GRATED, but our stores and dwellings
generally should likewise have an
abundant display of flags and bunt-
ing. Coming so near the 4th of July
when our people celebrate the ami
versary of our independence, it will
be an easy matter to leave the decOra-
tiOns on display until after July 8th
in honor of the State Firemen's Con-
VentiOn.
Smyrna times., 1925-06-17
Smyrna Feels Pride in Coming Even


Let us also feel proud of the fact
that the State Firemen's Association
has hOnored our local Fire Company
and town by selecting Smyrna as the
place for holding the Convention this
year, and it is especially appropriate
because the Citizens Hose Company
will dedicate their new Fire House on
this occasion. Pride is a very COM
mendable virtue, and our Fire Laddies
are justified in feeling chesty over
their new $3O,OOO.OO Fire House. 1t
is one of the handsomest buildings in
Smyrna, and there is no more up-to-
date Fire House in the State, so why
shouldn't our boys feel proud? When
we consider this building was made
possible largely through public con-
tributions, aided by an appropriation
/ by the Town of Smyrna, it is a matter
every tax paying citizen can likewise
take pride in.
553 Subscribers on The Honor Roll
Five hundred and fifty-three names
I Of subscribers are on the Honor Roll,

over $4,000 which was augmented by
a like sum from the Town of Smyr-
ma as above indicated. The Citizens
Hose Company had in reserve an ad-
ditiOnal S6,OO000, and the balance due
on the Fire House will be loaned by
our local banks, and in due course of
through Carnivals, suppers and enter
tainments. Don't fail to respond to
any call for help on the part of our
Firemen as they are ready every min
ute, day or night, to respond to your
call for their services. If you have
not yet paid your subscription to the

rowing what is now due from YOU.
