NEW AGENT FOR PONTIAC
Al. Pleasanton's Garage on Smyr
na-CiaytOn Road, Has Agency

The Oakland Motor Car Com
pany today announces another ad-
dition to its rapidly growing sales
organization in the appointment of
A. ]. Pleasanton of Pleasanton's
Garage, on Smyrna-Clayton Road,
as Oakland Pontiac dealer here for
the smart new Pontiac Big Six and
its companion car, the colorful new
All-American by Oakland Both
lines of cars are displayed at his
showrooms where the public is in
vited to inspect them. The huge
Oakland Pontiac merchandising
body with which the new dealers
here are now identified has shown
one of the most remarkable grow
tbs in the entire automotive indus
try. With 5000 dealers through
out the United States, it is five
times the size of the 1925 Oakland
dealer organization. AR. Clancy,
president and general manager of
the Oakland Motor Car company,
believes that 1929 will be the com
pany's greatest year. The two
lines of cars which the Pleasanton
Garage is now showing have con-
sistently set new high monthly
sales figures.

bushels an acre. The early pea
crop, while heavy in some local
tiles, was light in others. Beetles
and army worms caused consider
able damage, and caused growers
to lose many hundreds of dollars.
The lima and string bean crops
are now on, but both are going to
be almost a total failure on ac-
count of the Mexican betles. The
acreage of Watermelons through
out lower Delaware this year is
larger than last season, but the
yield, it is believed, will only be
normal. The cantaloupe crop is
maturing, and fair prices are ex-
pected to obtain, although the
yield may be much smaller than
last year. The early apple crop,
which has been moving for the
past two weeks, is bringing good
prices, and growers are satisfied
with the returns. Late frosts and
freezes in the spring somewhat
shortened the yield. While the
crop may not be as large as in
some former years. yet orchard
lists have made money. The corn
crop, as a whole, looks good thru
out lower Delaware, the yield will
be about normal. The peach and
pear crops will be harvested next
month and present indications
point to a good yield and profit
able returns. The peach crop in
the northwestern section of the
county seems to be heavier than
in the eastern section, according
to an inspection recently made
However all signs point to the fact
that Delaware once more is com
ing into it's own as a peach pro-
ducing state as well as one of the
banner sections for producing ap-
pies, grapes, strowberries, sweet
potatoes, soy beans and poultry.
At the rate new orchards are be-
ing set out, Delaware within the
next decade will once more be one
of the leading peach growing stat
es of the country.

The folks who own a home
in Smyrna or upper Kent OF
lower New Castle County,
should prize such a home very
much now. There has been a
great improvement in such
dwellings during recent years,
and the people who own them
are taking more pride in them
than ever before, and they do
well to keep them up in nice
condition. Many Of us look
forward to the time when
every rural home in this
neighborhood will have an air
of prosperity, when all the
country roads will be harden
ed so that they will provide
good travelling summer and
winter, and through the
springtime also, when many
country roads used to be in
poor condition. These homes
should have advanced very
considerably in value during
the past 10 years. Now that
automobiles have become
common, many families can
live inexpensively in such
dwellings,, and drive in to near
by cities and towns to work.
Such a home gives a family a
chance for gardening and
poultry raising, which helps
keep the cost of living down.
The beauty of our country
districts should appeal to
many people now living in
large cities, who are tired of
rush and noise and dirt and
congestion. They would find
health and comfort in coming

The farm bill has passed
and is now the law Of the
land. The new Farm Board
which was completed yester-
day by President Hoover in
the naming of S. r. McKelvie,
is to handle the provisions of
the new statute is now in
process of formation. Judg-
ing from the splendid ap-
pointment to the Board which
the President has already
made there is every reason to
believe that the new law will
be wisely and properly admin
iStered and that it will give
to the farmers whatever
benefit it is possible to get
from a mere act of Congress.
That the farmer will get some
benefit is evidenced by the
fact that already there has
been a stiffening in grain
prices.

In planning for the propos-

In planning for the propos-
ed new Episcopal School,
which, through the interest
and generosity of A. Felix du-
Pont, is to be built near Mid
dletown, one Of the most ex-
acting phases of the under
taking, the selection of a head
master, has been cleared up.
The committee in charge,
which is headed by Bishop
Philip Cook Of the Diocese Of
Delaware, has chosen Rev.
Walden Pell, now assistant at
Lenox School, to fill this i'm
portant post. Mr.. Pell, al
though a young man, being
only 27, has been highly rec
commended by persons who are
qualified to judge. This is as
Suring. Actual work on the
building of the school is being
arranged for, and, presumably
will be started when the nee
essary preliminaries can be
disposed Of. A modest begin
ming is to be made. One unit
will be built and others can be
added as they are required.
The idea is to first provide a
substantial foundation. The
grounds will be ample for ex-
tensive development. Their
natural advantage also will
add to the attractiveness of
the school. Environment and
supervision will be in keeping
with the ideals upon which
the institution is founded. The
public is interested in the sue
cess of the project, for the
reason that it will be a valu-
able addition to the education
al facilities Of the state and
will have about it an individu-
ality and distinctiveness that
no other school in Delaware
now has. 1t doubtless will at
tract attention elsewhere and
ought to bring to Delaware a
high type of young men in
quest of such training as they
can receive at the Middletown
institution. Every Evening.

velopment and prosperity of
the towns of Delaware? says
the Milford Chronicle. "Our
cities seem in most instances
to be doing we'll, but a few of
the rural communities COM
plain that their young people
are leaving them, particularly
those who are the most cap
able and best educated. The
Chronicle is impressed with
the idea, that the thing that
would do the most to make
the country towns of its sec
tion successful and prosperous
is to accomplish a perfect har-
mony between all elements in
these communities. One thing
that handicaps a lot of these
towns, is that there are so
many different factions.
"There seem in many of
these communities to be diff
ferent elements that do not
work together well. One ele-
ment may go to one church,
and the opposite crowd wor-
ships somewhere else. These
people know their own associ-
ates well, but, those who attend
across the street they are not
so well acquainted with. They
like to work with those of
their own crowd, and if any
thing is started by those of
the opposite bunch, they are
not interested. Or the same
division may exist between
members of different societies
or social elements.
What such towns need is for
people to get together in good
community movements. They
need some organization which
all good citizens interested are
asked to join. If they form
Sucn an organization, the OF
ficers should represent all ele-
I'm many cases these people
need to unite churches or So
cial organizations. IF they
will start on this broad basis,
and forget factional differenc-
es, they will find that almost
any country town has enough
bright and energetic people to
accomplish a whole lot Of pro-
gress."

Agriculturists are waiting
with keen interest Inaugural
tion of the activities of the
Farm Board, appointed by
President Hoover, in the first
step towards relieving farm
ers. 1t is believed that the
board will direct its earliest
endeavorS to untangle the
wheat situation and interpret
the meaning of the violent adj
vances in the market. There
seems to be a general misun-
derstanding with regard to
the crop now being marketed,
and so responsible a news
paper as the New York Times
predicts, through its Chicago
correspondent, that wheat
may go to two dollars in the
present advanced movement,
and bases those conclusions on
a shortage of more than 2OO,-
100000 bushels in the Canad-
ian yield, and a considerable
drop below our governments
estimate of the crop in this
country. Extensive buying
for export demands is also as
cribed as a reason for surpris-
ingly sharp advances in price.

Work on the curbing, gut
ters and other work incident
to making the street exten-
sions, has about been COM
pleted and is a credit to Smyr-
ma Town Council. Smyrna is
now fully on the Boulevard
and with the opening through
of North, Mt. Vernon and
South Streets, there has been
made available some fine sites
for homes, all of which can
easily tap in for water, sewer
and electric lights. The Boule-
ward is doing wonders for the
eastern part Of Smyrna.
