SMYRNA 2OTH CENTURY CLUB
Program Last Friday in Charge of
Mrs. S. J. Reynolds, Chairman of
Education - Talk on India

The Twentieth Century Clubs pro-
gram last Friday, March 11th, was in
charge of Mrs. S. ]. Reynolds, chair
man Of Education. AS the talk which
followed was to be on India, Mrs.
Thomas Coverdale, appropriately be-
gan the program by playing a piano
solo, "Chanson Indue,'' from the Leg
end Of Sadko, IN. Rimsky Korsakow-
ski). The music with that weird
strain, so enthusiastically Eastern,
was greatly enjoyed. Mrs. Howard
r. Jones, the Club President, with her
usual east and with well chosen words
announced the speaker of the after
noon, the Rev. George P. Jones, Field
Secretary of the Conference Claimant
Endowment Fund. DR.. Jones said
that as he had never visited India, his
acquaintance with that great country
comes from four angles. These angles
were: first, History; second, "Direct
information from missionaries; third
Reading Kipling'; fourth, "a son
who is living in India" DIR. Jones
proved that he was fully equipped
from any of these sources, to give a
most interesting talk. Dwelling prin-
cipally upon Interpretation from In
dia through Kipling," the speaker
carried US from "East and West to
"Mandalay" The climate of India is
told so wonderfully in Kipling's poems
"June," and September" which were
read. The last number on the pro-
gram was "The Recessional," by Kip
ling. It was sung by Mrs. Frank
Hynson (soloist), Mrs. Thomas Will
son, Mrs. L. NJ. Price, Miss Laura
Bell, assisted by Mr.. L. NJ. Price,
tenor, and Mr.. Walter o. Hoffecker,
bass. A delightful afternoon and an
appreciative audience. Don't fail to

TWO BILLS SHIFTING COUNTY
DEBTS TO STATE PASS SENATE
DESIGNED TO RELIEVE LOWER
COUNTIES OF HEAVY BURDENS
One Bill Directs State to Pay State
Aid and County Road Bonds; the
Other on Principal and Interest

The Senate Monday afternoon pass
ed two of the most important bills
that have come before that body for
consideration, the bills, introduced by
Senator w. F. Deputy, would relieve
the tax burden in the lower counties.
One of the bills directs the State to
pay all State aid and county road
bonds falling due during the next two
fiscal years, amounting to several
hundred thousand dollars. The other
directs the State Highway Depart
ment to carry the debt service, includ-
ing principal and interest on State
aid and county road bonds and does
not limit the time this shall continue
1t sets up a fund in the highway de-
partment to meet this expense In the
House third bill goes with the above
two was reported favorably This is
Representative. Shiles bill to increase
by one cent the tax per gallon on gas
oline. The money derived from this
bill should it pass will be used to pay
the interest on the bonds referred to
should the two Deputy bills become
law. Because of the large amount of
road bonds issued during the last ten
years Kent and Sussex counties were
finding it great burden to carry the
charges and these bills are meant to
relieve that situation. 1t is claimed,
however, that this simply shifts the
burden to Wilmington and rural New
Castle county as most of the revenue
that will be used to pay these bonds
come from the metropolis of the
State. Senator Deputy's bill, which
passed the Senate, We're reported fav-
orably in the House yesterday.
