baby Kenneth died last week. Mrs.
Graham is niece of Mr.. Hooker
and was on visit here with her baby
for two months, having left only
three weeks ago. Mrs. Graham is
quite sick herself and not expected
to recover.
Those who were privileged to be
at the church last Sunday evening
surely had a big treat. The pictures
shown on the canvas were on "Moth-

were beautiful, as also was the ad-
dress given by Mrs. Thompson and
the singing by Miss Barker of Ken
newick, "My Mothers Prayer" and
"Tell Mother I'll be There We take
this opportunity of thanking Miss
Barker for her kind service. Also the
Junior Epworth League must not be
forgotten. Twenty-Five of these young
people sang their Epworth song and
at the close threw handsful of flow
ers as tribute to mothers who had
to occupy the front seats for the
young people.

FUTURE OF SEvERSON CHURCH
Slight Encouragement Given to Reviv-
ing Interest and Preserving Chruch

Services at Severson's Church on
last Sunday were held in the Grove
adjoining the church at o'clock p. m.
Rev. r. K. Stephenson, pastor of AS
bury Church, Smyrna, conducted the
service assisted by Rev. W. E. Mat
thews, a retired minister Of the Will
mington Conference, now residing in
Smyrna. This church has been closed
for some years. DIR. Stephenson,
former pastor of said church, felt i'm
pressed that the people of the COM
munity should have an opportunity to
conduct a Sunday School and any 9TH
er service they might desire for all
or any part of the year, and thereby
preserve the property. Accordingly,
with the assistance Of Mr.. M. ". Ford,
trustee of the church, they arranged
for a service on the above date and
thru the Smyrna Times in two issues,
invited any persons Of the community
who were interested and desired
Sunday School to be present and ex-
press their desire. For some reason
only a small gathering attended the
meeting, none Of whom were residents
of the community. Four persons from
Wilmington, two from Townsend, one
from Clayton and three from Smyrna
made up the congregation. DR.. Steph-
enson expressed himself as very much
surprised and disappointed that not
one person of the community was
present. He further stated that if at
any future time an interest in the
proposed service was manifested, he
would be glad to cooperate and rem
der any assistance.

ceed the Rev. Thomas Getz Hill who

meet the vestry when the call was ex-
tended. He is holding it under con-
sideration and will definitely decide at

splendid attainments and well quail
fed for the ministry. He is married

Mr.. Hill leaves August 1, serving as
rector both of St. Peters Church,

MILFORD HAS SCHOOL FIGHT
Will Vote on Proposal to Bond Dis
trict S125,O0O for New Building


Indications point to bitter fight in
Milford on June II when the issue of
bonding the Special School District of
Milford for $125,0OO will be decided.
Given authority by the State Board
of Education the local board has call
ed for referendum vote on that date
on the proposed bonding. The object
Of this bond issue is the building of a
new elementary school in this district.
On account of the large number Of
elementary scholars several buildings
in Milford have to be utilized by the
local board. Three rooms in the Ma
sonic building on North Front street
are now being used as school rooms
for elementary grades, and building
adjoining the present school has been
purchased and used for class work
The local board believing it wise to
have all the elementary grades in one
building have asked for the bonding
of the district which can only be ac-
complished by a referendum vote
when the majority of taxables favor
the plan. Plans have been drawn for
the new building, which call for a
modern structure. The plans are now
on exhibition at the store of the
Pierce Hardware Company, Milford.
The $125,000 is to be used for the con-
struction of the building and the pur-
chasing Of a site. While no definite
site has been decided upon it was stat
ed by member of the local Board
Of Education that a site being consid-
cred is lot owned by Caulk Com
pany, on Clark avenue, South Mil
ford, near the residence of General G.
H. Hail. Opposition to the plan has
developed among the taxpayers of the
district. Many of the taxables feel
that the town and district is now
bonded for all that they care to stand,
and claim that taxes are now at the
top peak. There is also opposition to
building school across the railroad
tracks.

Sixteen or More of Old Organization
Are Meeting With Much EncOurag-
Ment-Personel of New Band

The organization of Sylvesters
Concert Band, which has recently been
accomplished, has revived public in
terest in this splendid group of talent
ed musicians, and We are looking for
ward to their restoring the prestige
which the original Sylvester's Concert
Band gave to Smyrna Those who
constitute the membership of the new
organization, sixteen or more musi-
clans, were all members of the former
band, and have entered heart and soul
into vitalizing this new band and
earning for it the reputation of being
one of the best in the State. They
will apear in their new summer uni
forms at an early date, and propose
giving open air concerts once month
alternately at the -Four Corners" and
in front of the Fire House on Com
merce street during the summer even
ings. There is no more practical way
of showing your appreciation Of the
revival of this organization, than by
dropping a liberal contribution when
the hat is passed around at these open
air concerts. We all realize uniforms
cost money and this is the most popu-
lar way to help these bandmen pay for
them. They are a valuable asset to
the social and civic life of our town,
and deserve your encouragement and
support. Don't forget this fact, and
do all you can to maintain them. The
personnel of the new band is as fol-
lows: Executive Staff-Wells FAIRIES,
president; John Morris, business man
ager; Franklin Ennis, treasurer; Yer
non Ford, secretary; George w. Syl-
vester, director; Vernon Ford, cornet,

RAILROAD CALLS OFF MEETING
Plans Made to Substitute Subsidized
Bus Service for Train on July 1st
Hardesty, Dover, Gets Contract

The contemplated meeting between
committee of the Smyrna Chamber
of Commerce and the officials of the
Pennsylvania Railroad which was set
for last week was called off by the
Railroad Company and no definite
time has been fixed for a conference.
The cutting off of negotiations may
have been due to the transfer
June 1st of Supt. l. B. Sinclair
to the Conemaugh Division in Western
Pennsylvania and the naming of J. G.
Sheaffer to the Superintendency of the
Delaware Division to succeed Supt.
Sinclair or some other reason may be
back of it all. In the meantime plans
are being perfected to discontinue the
passenger train (gasoline motor carr
July as ordered by Supt. Sinclair.
A subsidized bus service has been ar
ranged for with c. w. Hardesty of F.
L. Hardesty & Sons Co., of Dover, and
low-hung bus on a Graham truck
chassis has been ordered. This bus
which carries 21 passengers and is
heated and ventilated, will operate
from the "Four Corners" Smyrna
to the Railroad Station, at Clay
ton, and it is said will meet all trains
with the probable exception of the
midnight train. The bus will have
every comfort and convenience. Just
how Smyrna will be taken care of on
the Railroad timetable and railroad
map has not been decided. Smyrna,
however, will continue to receive its
freight by rail. The uppermost con-
Germ with the people of Smyrna is
losing its place on the railroad time
table and maps. If the Railroad Com
pany can find a satisfactory way to
take care of this point it will go a
long way toward alleviating the bitter
feeling and resentment in Smyrna, al
though there are many who may never
become reconciled to the change and
will fight to the last ditch. Smyrna
has enjoyed too long the distinction
Of being a railroad town, to lose its
position on the railroad map and while
bus service from the center of the
town may be we'll and satisfactorily
handled, the cutting off of organized
and scheduled passenger railroad ser
vice is a thorn in the flesh of a COM
munity of 5000 people and does not
set well. In the meantime officials of
the Smyrna Chamber of Commerce
are not asleep and are carrying on
their appeals quietly but with the de-
termination to do all for Smyrna pos
sible.
