ACTIVITY AT FORT DU PONT
Between IS and 100 Officers and
Men Arrive at the Fort


Candidates for the Engineer
Corps rife team have arrived at
Fort DUPONT and Monday morning
the men went on the range for the
first firing. They will continue the
elimination rounds until August,
when the team will be picked to
represent the Corps of Engineers
in competition with all other
branches of the armed forces at
Camp Perry, Ohio, in September.
Between rs and 100 officers and en-
listed men are at Fort DUPONT from
the various posts of the Engineers
throughout the country. Most of
the arrivals are ouartered at the
post. Accommodations are ample
for single men but limited for men
with families. Quite a few officers
with their families, are living in
Delaware City. From June 6 to
June 15, approximately $50 officers
and enlisted men of the War Col
lege class, Washington, D. c., will
hold their annual field class at Fort
dupont. The rifle elimination fir
ing and the War College exercises
will be the only summer activities
at the post this year as the usual

NEW MANAGER AT STRAND
G. Park Weaver, Harrisburg, Pa.
Practical Theatre Man, Here

The Strand Theatre, Smyrna, it
is hoped, has a better future, for a
change of management has taken
place. Mr.. George NJ. Schwartz of
the Diamond State Theatre, own
ers, has secured the services of Mr.
G. Park Weaver of Harrisburg, Pa.
to succeed Mr.. L. c. Reubens, who
has gone back to Baltimore, Nd.
Mr. Weaver is a practical man and
tas been employed by the Conner
ford Theatres, Incorporated, at
Sunbury, Pa. He will assist Mr.
Schwartz at both Dover and Smyr-
ma, but will more particularly he
in charge of the Strand Theatre in
Smyrna. There IS plenty of room
for improvement in Smyrna, not
only in creating for The Strand a
better atmosphere" as the saying
goes, but in giving said theatre.
however small it may be, the best
possible. This can be infinitely
helped by better music, more COM

better ventilation and cooling in
summer, better order and better
everything that goes for the COM
fort and entertainment of patrons.
Smyrna-Clayton is declared to be a
trading community of 5000 people.
Surely there should be enough out
of such a population to support one
theatre every night in the week
(not Fridays and Saturdays only)
and the consensus of opinion is that
an attractive and well regulated
theatre can be made pay as we'll in
Smyrna as other communities. L
is to be hoped that Mr.. Weaver, the
new manager, with the cooperation
of Mr.. Schwartz and the Diamond
State Theatre Company, will give
the Smyrna community the atten-
tion it deserves and give to The
Strand a new lease on life. Make
the Strand an attractive place 70
go and it is believed it will get bet
ter support.

FORUM TO CONTINUE LONGER
So Interested Are Members That
Summer Recess is Postponed.
Interesting Debate Thursday

Smyrna Mems Forum which was
to have disbanded for the summer,
last Thursday night, will continue
its meetings a while longer. It
was voted not to take a summer re
cess for several weeks yet, then to
forgo its sessions to early in Oc-
tober. Last Thursdays meeting
was held in the High School Audi
torium where the much heralded
debate "Shall the Teaching of Dar-
winism be Debarred from Our
Schools" The auditorium, despite
it was Memorial Day, and a holi-
day that took many out Of town,
was well filled. President Of the
Forum, w. w. Wright, presided
The speaker of the evening was the
Rev. George W. Cooke, Of VIII
mington, who gave the affirmative
side of the question, "Shall the
teaching of Darwinism be debarred
from our schools" Dr.. Cooke in
handling the subject said it was
materialstic, atheistic and I'M
christian and designed to destroy
faith in the Christian religion He
sad that much Of the crime in
America today could be traced to
Darwinism. The Rev. E. A. Le-
moine, rector of st. Peters P. E.
Church, Smyrna, was the speaker
for the negative side and in his op-
ening remarks said he believed in
evolution and preached it from his
pulpit. Mr.. Lemoine made it clear
to his audience that Darwinism and
Evolution were not synonymous
terms. He said that a true concep-
tion of evolution does not in any
way interfere with the Christian
religion. Mr.. Lemoine stated EN-
phatically that while he believed in
evolution, he also firmly believed in
all the teachings Of Christ. DR..
Cooke again contended that the
teaching of evolution would be in
furious to the discipline Of our
schools, while the negative speaker
asserted that a clear and broad
teaching of scientific facts would
create an open mind for children
which would benefit them in solving
ife's problems

GOV. BUCK FOR PARALLEL
HIGHWAYS OVER 4-LANE ONE
STRONG BELIEVER 1T WILL
LESSEN AUTO ACCIDENTS
In a Four-Lane Traffic Motorists
Too Often Cut Over the White
Line and Cause Accidents


| Governor G. Douglass Buck is of
the opinion that the parallel roads
which will be used between st.
Georges and a point near State
Road, when completed, will elimi-
nate considerable danger and re
duce the number of accidents.
These roads will be some distance
apart. Southbound motorists will
use the present road, while north
bound motorists will use the one
now under construction. In dis
cussing the new road, Governor
Buck pointed to the fact that the
four way highway from Whining
ton to State Road has not elimi-
mated accidents. This is due to the
fact that "road hogs" cut over the
white line when there are two rows
of cars ahead of them, in order to
pass by. In doing this, they vio-
late the law by driving on the
wrong side of the highway. To the
credit of Delaware drivers, it may
be said that most Of the violators
are out of State motorists. With
the parallel road this will not be
possible. Every farm lane leading
to the present highway will have
short stretch between the north and
south roads, thus making it possi-
bic at many places between the
State Road and ST. Georges, to
cross from one highway to the
other. But only at these cross
ings, will this be possible. Cover
nor Buck is 50 confident of the gen
eral benefits that will be derived
from the new parallel highway sys-
tenn, that he believes eventually the
parallel method may be continued
as far as Dover. That viii depend
upon how motor traffic grows.
Drunken Drivers Menace on Roads
According to Secretary of State
Grantland, the drunken driver men
ace continues to increase. One of
the causes, as he sees it, is due to
the change in the motor law regu-
lations. 1t used to be mandatory,
upon a second offense, to Jail
drunken drivers. The recent Gen
eral Assembly, however, amended
this law so that for second Of
fense for driving while drunk, the
magistrate may impose a fine or
prison sentence. Recently the
friends of a young man, who is the
son of a pron1inent citizen of Will
mington, worried the Secretary of
State for two weeks to get him to,
in some way, bring about read
justment of a prison sentence i'm
posed on this young man. Mr..
Grantland, however, was firm and
acted as he always does in cases of
this kind, where he believes The
person is guilty. He refused all
requests and demands, but the
young man didn't go to Jail after
all. The case was adjusted.
Favors Sentence for Intoxicated
1t is such cases as these, Mr..
Grantland points out, that are re-
sponsible to a large extent for
drunken drivers. They realize that
they can evade a prison sentence
for driving while intoxicated be-
cause they can always get the
money To nav the fine

WORK At WOODLAND BEACH
J. c. GarIick, New Owner, Secures
Services of w. ID. Dean to Man
age it-PrOspects ENCOURAGING

Woodland Beach, since it was
purchased by j. c. Garlick of New
Castle, as announced in our last
weeks issue, has started a force OF
men to renovate this well-known
Delaware Bay resort which in time,
he hopes to make one OF the most
attractive outing places on the Del
aware Bay shore. There is no
doubt that Woodland Beach has
natural advantages over any of
the river and bay resorts. With a
fine strand, with a green lawn
right to the waters edge and a fine
grove of trees near by, Woodland
Beach leads all in natural attrac-
tiveness. 1t will take time to make
the improvements Mr.. Garlick con-
templates, but now that the resort
has the impetus to go ahead, the
dream is to see it one of the real
show places along the shore. AL
ready the concrete road from Wen
dells Corner to the marsh road
leading to Woodland Beach, has
been begun. By another year, it is
hoped, pier will be built and eX-
cursion steamers will ply between
Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Woodland Beach. The resort is
undergoing a thorough renovation.
The hotel opens for the season on
Saturday. Caruso's Orchestra of
Wilmington, has been engaged for
the season and the first dance will
be Saturday evening. New conces-
sions from time to time will be
added and while it will take some
weeks, even months, to make the
changes that are contemplated,
Woodland Beach seems destined,
under its new management and
financial backing to become some
thing worth while. Mr.. Garlick,
who has Washington Park, near
New Castle, and other financial in
terests, has secured William D.
Dean of Newark to manage Wood
land Beach for him. Citizens of
Smyrna who are deeply interested
in the success Of this bayside re-
sort, eight miles away, are glad to
note that it has fallen into hands
with such prospects. Ever since
the resort was sold by James r.
Mott, it has had a hectic career
with little or no financial backing
to give confidence to it. Mr.. Gar
lick, it is understood, is not only
able to put the project across, but
he declares there is a future in
Woodland Beach and if all his
plans work out, there is hope that
rot only the Smyrna community,
but all Kent and New Castle Coun-
ties will have in this bayside re-
treat, water resort such as It has
never been, especially since it is to
be accessible by a concrete road all
the way from Smyrna to the
marsh road. Mr.. Garlick intends
to keep the marsh road in a good
state of repair until such a time he
hopes it can be turned over to Kent
County or the State Highway De-
partment for upkeep. Good roads,
an excursion boat service and up
to-date amusements are bound TO
attract and with the mosquito and
green fly nuisance under control
and the resort properly run, Smyr-
ma should feel the effect of good
business which Woodland Beach
will create. Mr.. J. c. Garlick has
the best wishes of this community
for success.
