CLAYTON FOR A NEW SCHOOL
One of the First To Put in It's Appli-
cation For New School Building


At meeting of the State Board of
Education Wednesday the school of
ficers of the State were reelected for
the coming year and there was an in
formal discussion of the school build
ing program provided for in a bill
passed by the Legislature which re-
Gently adjourned. Clayton was among
the first to put in its APPLICATION for a
new building. Smyrna asks for an
extension. Action under the school
building program was postponed for
a time because of the absence of ].
Pearce Cam, a member of the board,
and also because the members who at
tended the meeting have not yet been
notified whether Governor Robert P.
Robinson has signed the bill. They
understood that he had not. Applica-
tions for aid under the school build
ing program were received from Clay
mont and Middletown in New Castle
county; Dover, Smyrna, Caesar Rod
ney and Clayton in Kent county, and
Millsboro, Seaford and Delmar in Sus-
sex county. Middletown, Clayton,
Millsboro, Seaford and Delmar desire
new schools but the others only seek
additions.

GOVERNOR MAY TAKE FULL TINE
DECIDING ON FILING FEE ACT
MESSAGES FOR AND AGAINST
$500 TAX POUR INTO HIS OFFICE
Those Interested in the Cause of Ed
ucatiOn Want Governor to Veto Bill
Claims Bill Now Under Fire

Governor Robinson will utilize the
30-day limit granted him by the State
Constitution in considering the House
Bill 1872, which abolished the So filing
fee and which was passed during the
rush hours of the General Assembly.
If he does not approve the bill within
that time, the bill will automatically
die. The claims bill too, by which
members of the Legislature voted
themselves 10 cent mileage in addi-
tion to their salaries, is also under
fire too and what the Governor will do
about approving this is also watched
with interest. The Governors deci-
sion on the Filing Fee measure has
increased to immense proportions land
taxpayers throughout the state are
awaiting anXiously his action. He is
receiving many letters, kilograms and
telephone and personal calls from cit
izens who give their views on the
matter and who urge him to take i'm
mediate action. The opinions of these
persons are equally divided, the Gov
ernor said. Generally, he added, the
interested ones in Wilmington are
against the filing fee, while those
down the state are contented to have
the So tax remain on the statute
books. 1t is conceded by all, however
that the Governor will invoke the con-
demnation of many no matter on
which side of the fence he decides. 1t
is not likely that he will act on the
bill before the 30-day limit. In the
meantime the Governor intends TO
seek more information concerning the
bill and its effect upon the schools of
the state if he signs the bill. 1t was
mofficially learned that he may con
fer with Pierre S. dupont, state tax
commissioner, before he reaches his
conclusions. Mr. DUPONT, in a letter
to the Governor, made public Satur-
day, recommended that the bill to-
gether with other bills reducing the
income tax rates, be vetoed. Cover
nor Robinson refused to make any
statement on the letter on the grounds
that he did not wish to enter into a
newspaper controversy" The after
math of the Governors action, no
matter which way he decides, is now
creeping steadily into the statewide
discussions of the bills fate. With
Mr.. dupont in one camp in favor of
veto and other state officials in the
camp for the approval of the bill, it
is hinted that designations from one
of the two camps may follow.

FINNS TO FORM FARM COLONY
Buy Thousand Acres Near Berlin,
Md, For Fifty Families

Founding of Finnish colony near
Berlin, Md, is under way, directed by
A. J. Vital, who for several years has
been gathering real estate options as
representative of about thirty fam
lilies who are en- route to the Eastern
Shore from their temporary homes in
Massachusetts. About twenty-eight
Finnish farmers have already arrived.
They have purchased a 900 acre farm
at Taylorville, east of Berlin, and
150-acre tract on the Ocean City road,
with several other farms in the neigh
borhood considered by the promoters.
The conoly will finally be established
in the vicinity of Taylorville. Agri-
culture is said to be the chief pursuit
of the newcomers, who have been in
the United States a short time and
are unable to speak English. This is
one of numerous similar experiments
being made in various parts of the
Eastern Shore, where, it is said, Scan
dinavian farmers have made a notable
success and have greatly improved the
neighborhood in which they have set
tied. Over in Kent county, Md,
group of Danish farmers will shortly
be brought for the same purpose.

EASTER SUNDAY IN SMYRNA
A Bright and Beautiful Day-Church-
es All Put on Elaborate Programs
Easter Flowers, Music, Featuring

Easter Sunday, despite weather
predictions turned out to be an ideal
spring day in Smyrna and while many
motored to seashore and other points
to spend the day, the churches all re-
port large congregations. AS usual
the Easter flower display was elabor-
ate and pulpit and chancel showed a
display of Easter lilies and other
blooms that seemed more beautiful
than ever. At all the churches in
town elaborate musical programs
We're put on and "He is Risen" re
sounded from every choir At AS
bury Methodist Episcopal Church, the
Easter services began with the Sun
day School which met at 10 o'clock
under the leadership of Superinten-
dent L. NJ Price There was an ap-
propriate program of recitations and
songs by the beginners, primary and
junior departments and Easter music
by the main school At the morning
service at II o'clock, Rev.Dr Stephen
son preached a sermon on 'The Res
surection of the Body and the choir
under the direction of Mrs. Marion
Coverdale, organist, rendered a pro
gram of special Easter music and an
thems that was highly complimented.
At this service an impressive sight
was when class of thirty young peo-
pie who Sunday, April 10, laid deci-
sion to follow Christ, were received
into the church on probation This
class will be organized into class
for instruction under the Pastors
care. Opportunity was given others
to be received by letter or on confes-
sion Of faith, and three availed them
selves of it. At 6.45 the Epworth
League, Miss Mary Hynson, leader,
had an Easter program and at 7.30
the evening church service was held
at which time some Easter anthems
of the morning were repeated with
some new music. DIR. Stephenson, the
pastor, preached on another sermon
appropriate to Easter. The services
at st. Peters Church, always of an
elaborate nature, was true to form
and a large congregation turned out
at all services. An enlarged vested
choir marched into the church. Mrs
Olive Hirons Shallcross presided at
the organ and Mrs. Lemoine, wife of
the rector, had charge of the music
A number of anthems were sung.
During the offertory, Mrs. Lemoine
sang a solo. The altar and chancel
We're full of Easter blooms. Rev. E.
A. Lemoine, the rector, gave a schol-
arly sermon on "The Resurrection.
In the afternoon special Easter exer-
cises were held by the Church School
and each pupil as usual received
potted geranium. At the Presbyter-
ian Church the floral decorations were
beautiful, the singing of Easter music
and anthems bright and sprightly and
a sermon by Mr.. Malay of the Prince
ton Theological Seminary was most
The Sunday School too
rendered an Easter program. The
services at the Smyrna NJ. P. Church,
Rev. J. H. Ryan, pastor, were full of
the Easter spirit at all services.

needed. The vote was 7035 2-3 for
and 3248 12 against, a majority for
the bond issue of 37S7 1-6. The bill
provided that the bond issue should
not be made by council until there had
been a referendum vote of the people.
There was little interest in the cleo
tion. The law provided that each
property owner should have one vote
for each dollar of tax paid to the town
and POS people voted. The total tax
es paid by the 208 was equivalest to
10,284 1-6 votes. But 29 per cent of
the people qualified to vote took the
trouble to do so. The bill providing
for the bond issue was passed by the
last legislature and no opposition was
shown to the measure at the time
Dover is developing rapidly and some
of the new sections are badly in need
of streets and sewers. 1t is believed
that the new work will result in more
buildings being erected and will in the
end greatly increase the revenues of
the town.
