SMYRNA ROTARY CLUB MEETING
Fellowship the Key Note of the
Meeting Led by Rynear w. Slaugh-
ter-Ten Dover ROtarians Attend

On Thursday evening, September
9th, the Smyrna Rotary Club held
their regular weekly melting at the
Wayside Inn. President "BiIP Mat
thews, Jr., read a communication
from Governor Charlie" Ackiev of
Vineland, New Jersey, who was a
guest of the local club last week. In
the communication Governor "Char-
lie" complimented the club upon the
cordial whole hearted reception he re-
ceived at their hands. A letter was
read by the Club Secretary which re-
ferred to the West Indies Florida hur-
ricane disaster. Each Rotarian pres
ent was asked to lend his assistance
on relief through the local chapter of
the American Red Cross. The pro-
gram of the evening was to have been
in charge of DR.. C. G. Harmonson,
chairman of the Fellowship Commit
tee, but due to illness he was unable
to make the presentation. R. w.
Slaughter acted as a "Pinch Hitter"
and put the program across. The pro-
gram consisted of the reading of an
article on Fellowship which was fol-
lowed by series of questions which
were asked the local club members;
anyone failing to answer his ques-
tions correctly was fined the sum of
ten cents. A great deal of mirth and
good fellowship resulted. The fellow
ship committee is one of the very i'm
portant committees in any Rotary
Club. The visiting Rotarians from the
Dover Club were as follows: NJ. P.
Morris, Lynford Outten, Andy Glenn
ents, Ray c. Helfenstein, Harry Heite
R. NJ. Sarde, |. H. Boyd, J. P. Holt,

SmyrnaS Movie Theatre to be Con-
Quoted in Future by Louis p. Rubens
The Strand Theatre, Smyrna's NOV
ing picture house, has undergone new
management. The Diamond State
Theatre Corporation, George VI.
Schwartz, has secured the services
Of Mr.. Louis p Reubens of Baltimore
Nd, to succeed Eugene Porter, whose
position as book-keeper in the Ma
tional Bank of Smyrna, precludes
him from giving all his time to the
Theatre. Mr.. Reubens has been III
the show game all his life. He has
had much experience in moving pic
lures, vaudeville and musical produc-
tlons and comes to Smyrna qualified
to make the Strand Theatre an amuse-
ment place of higher class order
than it has ever been. He will, no
doubt, give Smyrna the best pictures
and road shows available and will CO.
operate with the business and educa-
tional interests of Smyrna in any en-
terprise for the public good Next
week The Strand, which has been hav-
AAiS OALly LHO oltONS d Week. IludN
and Saturday, will commence having
four shows. Monday, Tuesday, Fri
day and Saturday. The organ is
again to be overhauled, new stage set
tings and draperies are being install
ed, the stage has ben enlarged and
footlights are being put in and soon
The Strand is to have high class
vaudeville, atleast once a week, prob
ably Thursday nights. Manager Ru-
bens promises a number of improve
ments looking to the comfort and
amusement of patrons, including at
all times an orderly house Smyrna
needs a well conducted moving pic
ture house and theatre, for there are
many who do not have autos to motor
to Dover or Middletown who yearn
for up-to-date pictures to be shown
here in Smyrna The new "lease-on-
life" promised The Strand Theatre
will be welcomed.

NEW FARNHURST BRIDGE SOON
Wider Highway Span Over Railroad
to be Ready by First of the Year

Plans for the new bridge across the
Pennsylvania Railroad at Farnhurst
We're received from the Pennsylvania
Railroad engineers last wek. The only
objection to the plans is as to the
character of approaches to the bridge
but this will be adjusted. The rail
road company will then advertise for
bids for materials and the construc-
tion of the crossing. According to
the agreement between the railroad
company and the State Highway
Confusion the bridge is to be finished
by December 81, this year. At the
next meeting of the commission, bids
for additional road work will be
awarded and along the big jobs for
next year is the railroad crossing at
Newport The wet weather of the
past six weeks has set back road
work On the first of September, it
was estimated that $1,1OO,OOO worth
of road construction remained uncom-
pleeted and with the storms that have
interfered since that time, road con-
tractors have not ben able to make up
much.

PROSPECT OF A NEW CONCERN
STARTING A SMYRNA CREAMERY
SMYRNA MILK PRODUCERS AND
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE MEET
DR.. Kelly of Scott-Powell Concern.
Feels One Creamery, That at Clay
ton. is Sufficient for Community

Since the E'break-down" in the
Smyrna Creamery and the apparent
intention of the Scott-Powell concern
not to operate it any more, two out
side concerns are already talking
with Smyrna farmers and members of
the Chamber of Commerce with a
view of starting another creamery in
Smyrna. Last Wednesday evening
DR.. Kelly of the Scott-Powell concern,
appeared before the Smyrna farmers
and members of the Chamber of Com
merce and the situation was gone
over. DR.. Kelly was accompanied by
Mr.. Thomas. DR.. Kelly was the
principal talker He declared his con-
Germ was only renting the Smyrna
creamery and since the power system
broke down they felt better results
could be had to have only one cream
cry in the vicinity, that at Clay
ton which he said was ample to take
care of the farmers milk supply of
the Smyrna-Clayton community. By
saving the operating expenses of the
Smyrna creamery, Scott-Powell are
to placate the Smyrna
farmers by offering them eight cents
per hundred pounds for extra number
of miles or SO they have to haul
their milk. Since this extra offer on
top of what they were already getting
is still much below the market price,
farmers are not altogether satisfied
The result is there is more or less
agitation for reviving the old Smyrna
creamery or starting another one in
Smyrna AS above stated there are
already overtures being made with
this end in view. The breakdown at
the Smyrna creamery is one that can
be put in repair speedily if the
Powell people really wanted to
operate it. The real object it seems, is
to make Clayton creamery take care
IF the community with one overhead
and since this is apparent there is
title hope that Scott-Powell will op-
crate the Smyrna creamery again.
There was a good representation Of
Doth milk producers and members Of
he Chamber Of Commerce at the
meeting Wednesday night but little
,atisfaction resulted from the discus
ions. 1t may be that Dr. Kelly will
again meet with the Smyrna dairy
ren. Tn the meantime agitation is
icing made for a creamery in Smyr-
IA and already outside concerns are
ooking over the situation. Smyrna
'armers, those living north, south and
,ast Of town, demand a closer output
or their milk supply and they will not
est content until the Smyrna cream
nv is restored OF another one built
hat will offer them shorter hauls and
he highest market prices for their
milk supply.

EXAMINE STATE OYSTER BEDS
Test Of Water by Federal Chemists
Being Made Again This Year

More contamination Of waters flow
ing over oyster beds over which Del
aware has jurisdiction, is shown in
tests made within the last month at
the laboratory of the State Board of
Health. The samples Of water were
collected by Federal inspectors, ac-
companied by r. c. Beckett. In this
way, there was double check on the
samples, and according to reports
from Washington, the state analysis
corresponds in every particular with
the tests made by Government chom-
lists. Last year the United States
Public Health Service placed ban on
the shipment of oysters out of the
state, due to the pollution of the wat
ers cowing over the oyster beds. What
decision the Government health in
spectors will reach as the result of
this recent survey, is awaited with
much concern by the oyster packers.
Within few weeks, Engineer Beckett
will begin a sanitary survey of the
oyster packing houses. He will look
into conditions about each plant and
the health of the employees. In addi-
tion to this, it is expected that an
other survey of the oyster beds will
be made in order to double check con-
ditions. 1t is not expected that there
will be any relief from the contami-
nation of the waters until towns and
cities in lower Delaware, whose sew
age flows into these streams, arrange
to dispose of wastes though sewage
plants.

The David G. Harrison Post No. Ia.
American Legion, of Smyrna, is now
conducting a spirited campaign for
the purpose Of raising sufficient funds
to liquidate their outstanding IN
debtedness on the purchase of their
second post ambulance, which was
placed in service two years ago. From
q business viewpoint, this indebted
ness should have been paid off and
certain sum of money set aside each
year in the local banks as a reserve
fund to pay for the purchase of still
another ambulance, which must of
necessity, take the place of the pres
ent one at some future date The
cost Of maintaining an efficient am
bulance service, such as the David G.
Harrison Post is now offering, is
about one-third greater than the rev
enue derived by the Post. Therefore
i is, and perhaps always will be, nee
essary for the Post to depend on the
generosity Of the public From a
recent report given by the Finance
Officer of the David c. Harrison Post,
it was ascertained that, with the pres
ent obligation, it would be practically
impossible to reduce the post debt,
and in order to accomplish this, it
would be necessary to make an appeal
for outside assistance. No matter
how small the contribution sent in
during this compaign, it will be most
thankfully received, and the donor
will have the personal satisfaction Of
knowing that his dollar or dollars
were in their degree responsible in
removing the burden. All funds
should be sent to American Legion
