TOWERS TO SPOT WOODS FIRE
State Forestry Commission Thinks
Land Owners Will Join Movement

For the protection of the forest
land in lower Delaware it is believ-
ed that private interests will CO.
operate with the State Forestry
Commission in the erection of a
fire tower in that county. The
recent fire in Sussex county swamp
and forest land consumed timber
of an estimated value Of about S25-
600. w. s. Taber, state forester,
has informed the owr.ers Of the
forest land burned that he is will
ing to cooperate with them in the
operation of a fire tower. If they
will erect the tower ne will see
that it is manned during the dang
erous season in the fall. Mr.. Tab
er reports that he has received
much better cooperation this fall
from the reputy field agents locat-
ed in the various fire companies
throughout the state. These dep
uties make report on all forest
fires in their section, and from this
data. Delaware will eventually
have facts and figures on which to
base an intelligent summary of the
loss from forest fires.

the Smyrna Chapter Red Cross,
are in charge of the annual roll call
between Armistice Day and
Thanksgiving to canvass for mem
bers. The roll call has begun sim
ultaneous in this State and thruout
the nation. A greater effort than
ever before will be made this year
to recruit members here ard thru
out the State as Delaware has
dropped to 18th place in the ma
tional rating based on population.
Alaska topped the list for 1928 in
the final report on membership and
Delaware fell down the list with
only a SO per cent membership
with a population of 243,000. Lead

cent membership on basis of 55,-
036 of population. Reports show
that branches in the smaller towns
have outranked Wilmington in
membership on the basis of their
popultions. Delaware had a mem
bership of 1882 in the 1928 roll
call out of a population of 243,00o.
Pierre S. DUPONT, president of Del
aware Chapter, points out chat The
dollar spent for Red Cross mem
bership is insurance against possi-
BILE disaster for any community
and it is the hope of all officials of
the Red Cross here that this years S
enrolment will be banner one and
will surpass those that have gone
before. Support of the r;ank and
file of the citizens will accomplish
this, it is felt.

Club Woman" She stressed sew
eral reasons in proof of her state
ment, as to the privilege and prof
it. Also the responsibility of be-
ing Club Member. A piano duet
by Miss Violet Long and Miss An
ma Thompson, high school girls,
was greatly appreciated and enjoy
ed. An appeal for books was made
for the womens' prison at Green
bank, and it was decided TO have
a Book Day at the Club in charge

are planning to make the tenth an
niversary notable in every respect.
The Delaware Anti tuberculosis

progress of the health project, in
connection with the Modern Health
Crusade. There are always new
ideas being made about the health
project and some of these will be
exhibited and other new ones
sought. Enrolment in the Health
Crusade shows an increase this
fall over the same period last year.
Last year at this time there were
163 teachers, in III schools and
4,785 students enrolled. This year
there are 169 teachers, in $50
schools and 4,S49 students enroll

AUTO DRIVERS 1929 LICENSES
GOOD UNTIL MARCH FIRST
VIM. BALL ORDERS STAMP TO
PROTECT THE MOTORISTS
Who Go on Tours Away From
the State-Activity in Titling

William Ball, in charge of the
Titling Department of the Secre-
tary of States office, has ordered
rubber stamp made, which will be
placed at all magistrates Offices,
police stations, and state highway
police stations, and the Touring
Bureau of the Delaware Motor
Club, and also of the Delaware
Automobile Association, for the
benefit of persons contemplating
tour into some other state after
January L. This is because 1929
driver licenses are good until
March 1, 1880. "It would be an
unfortunate thing said Mr.. Ball ''if
some Delaware driver was detain-
ed in some rural section of Texas
during January and February be-
cause his driver license was in
question. That is the reason why
L am having these rubber stamps
prepared. The rubber stamp will
state that the drivers license is
legal until March /, and ought to
serve as protection in other
states. THE total amount receiv-
ed from the tax on gasoline up to
November 1 was S764 ,461.4 The
total for the same period last year
was S646,012.33. This is an in
crease this year over 1928 of S118,-
459.11. The receipts for the month
of October were SS5, ,531.07. WV
Mack, chief engineer of the High
way Commission believes that the
gasoline tax will be more than
5000, 100000 this year. Ten thou
sand coupon automobile cards went
out in the mails from Dover last
Thursday and like number went
out Friday. Saturday night the
batch comprised 10000, with
more on Monday and Tuesday, un-
til every holder OF an automobile
license tag in this state has receiv-
ed one. From November Is to 80,
requests for the old automobile Ii
cense numbers will be accepted and
deliver made after December L.
One feature in this asking for an
automobile number is emphasized
by Charles H. Grantland, secretary
of state, who announces, that when
a person asks for another number
other than the one they now hold,
this automatically causes them to
forego any right for the old num-

NEED FOUR LANE HIGHWAYS
Narrow Roads Are Cause of Many
Accidents When Traffic Isl Heavy

Motoring towards large met
ropolitan center on a sunny Satur-
day afternoon, when wheeled
hordes are bound for the open
country, reveals pertinent facts
about highwayH, states E. e. Duff
fly, Delaware Automobile Associa-
ton, Wilmington The first thing
that is forcibly impressed upon the
motorist going against the heavy
traffic flow is that two lane roads
are decidedly not wide enough
usually by two lanes. Slow trucks
crawling old hulgs of cars, hyper
cautious drivers hold back traffic
until a jam of cars quarter mile
or so long results. Drivers driven
to distraction by delays then sud-
denly dart out from their pre-
scribed lanes of travel when on
coming traffic permits of a passing
Here, the well known human ele-
ment enters in, for if a driver mis-
judges the open spaces a collision
may result. A four-hour ride
against this wave OF country bound
traffic brought several narrow es-
capes that cannot be recounted
without a rise in blood pressure.
Another criticism of the rural road
in remote regions as well as met
ropolitan areas, is that it usually
passes through the center of every
hamlet and town on the route. One
little town in southern Wisconsin,
with a single traffic light on the
main highway running through on
the chief business street, is fire.
quently nothing short of choked
with automobiles that have not
business there. Narrow roads must
be widened as fast as communities
can make finances available, for
without doubt, congestion and acci-
dents are costing as much or more
than wider roads. Two lane roads
are suitable for traffic only where
week day travel is light and week
end travel moderate. A heavy vol
ume of traffic demands roads at
least four lanes in width. Acci-
dents would be reduced consider
ably if by road builders magic all
congested routes were to be wild
eped. That would mean a distinct
lowering of car insurance rates.

HOST OF TRUSTEES OF POOR
j. ID. Reynolds nd Wife Entertain

Mr.. and Mrs. John D. Reynolds
formerly of this vicinity, but now
residing on the Walter ]. Staats
farm near Middletown, were hosts
to a dinner party given Sunday to
the Trustees of the Poor of New
Castle County. A more cheerful
place than the spacious home of
John D. Reynolds could not have
been found. Mr.. Reynolds is a
model farmer and he took the
Trustees around his 300 acre farm
with his milking machines and
more farm appliances and de-
lighted them all. Later the festive
board was ladened with sumptu-
Gus feast and a jolly evening was
spent. Miss Mary Reynolds, the
accomplished daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Reynolds assisted her parents
in receiving and entertaining the
guests. The quartette of the Trus-
tees delighted the gathering with
a number of selections and there
was some impromptu speech MAX
ing. Jacob Emerson, the chaplain
offered the invocation. The Trus-
tees present were as follows: Rich

ing from the home of her cousin,
Mrs. Urias j. Taylor, in Seaford,

of New York, and was married by
the Rev. McWilliams, of that city.
She had known Stone, who is 30
years of age, only two weeks, he
having come to board at the Tay-
Ior home two weeks prior to the
elopement. Stone is a steel riveter
and was employed at the Atlantic
Ellis Channel System there. Mrs.
Taylor received telegram from
her cousin, Thursday, stating
where she was and that she and
Stone were married at Salisbury,
October 26. Since the death of her
parents several years ago, the
young girl had made her home

RABBIT AND QUAIL SEASON
Prospects for Cunning Reported
Better Than for Several Seasons

Better Than for Several Seasons
The season for shooting rabbit
and quail in lower Delaware viii
open on Friday, November Is, and
sportsmen throughout lower Della
ware are looking forward to the
opening day with much delight.
Reports from the rural sections
would indicate that the fields
abound in quail and rabbits are
more numerous in the forests than
for several years. Prospects for
cunning have not been as good as
at the present time for many sea
sons. The new dog law, compell-
ing owners to chain them when
rabbits and birds are young, coup
led with the unusually favorable
weather conditions during the
breeding season, have both been
contributing factors to the abund-
ance of game now being reported.
The Smyrna Times office is selling
many cunning and trespass notices
indicating the gunner is out of
luck in many places unless he has
a farmer friend.

last Thursday evening, November
1th, in order that their members
might have the opportunity to lend
their moral and financial support
TO the Annual Arnistice Supper,
given by the David C. Harrison
Post, No. IA, American Legion. In
as much as the activities of the To-
cal Legionnaires are confined to
the lines of community service, the
smyrna Rotarians feel not only
willing, but morally obligated, to
assist them in their splendid en-
deavors. Community Service" in
tEe strict sense of the word means

heip one another means to eventu-

ship and good will that will, it is
TO be hoped, lend to a long and
lasting universal peace; the far
distant goal, the vision, the dream
