Smyrna Town Council can
aid traffic through Commerce
Street and possible trade to
the stores in the center of the
town if they would cut down
the length of time the stop
light is on at the -Four Cor
ners" as we'll as at the other
street intersections (when
on) at Delaware and Com
merce; Delaware and South
and South and Main streets.
The ideal way would be
to have these stop lights
over town of the automatic
type, the stop light cut down
in time to a minimum. The
result of the present delay is
driving much east bound traf-
fic thru Smyrna over Mt. Yer
non street and the new street
extension by The Wayside Inn
to the Boulevard. There is
not so much traffic at anytime
in Smyrna to hold motorists
up by red lights. Down at
Dover the traffic stop light at
State and Loockerman streets
is on and off considerable less
than Smyrna and with Boule-
ward traffic too. On Sundays
it is not on at all. Here in
Smyrna the traffic light is on
all day on Sundays. Council
could help greatly in this mat
ter where it is not a necessity.

Smyrna times., 1929-07-17

Smyrna Town Council has
done a good thing by marking
off parking places in the busi-
ness section of Main Street
parking at an angle on one
side and curb parking on the
other. This will accommodate
more cars and make it inf
nitely better for automobile
parties who come to Smyrna
to deal to back out when they
desire to do so. This move
ment of Council is a step in
the right direction. Now the
question is how to fix the
parking in the business sec
ton of Commerce street. Be
cause of its narrowness the
parking at an angle must of
necessity be on one side of the
street only. This plan was
tried out when following the
break at Garrison's Lake and
the highway at that point, a
detour had to be made thru
Smyrna. The plan was a sue
cess until some merchants on
the south side of the street
where no parking was allowed
raised a ''kick" that it inter
fered with their business and
Council removed the one-side
parking rules. Now the ques-
ton is up before Council again
and it is probably that this
time the south-side of Com
merce street between Market
and Delaware street and to
below the -Four Corners will
be marked off at angles for
parking and no parking will
be allowed on the north side.
1t is contended that there are
two alley ways on the north
side of the street that cannot
be interfered with while on
the south side there are no al
leys. The latter side would
therefore accommodate more
cars in an unbroken line of
angle parking places. This
seems to be the feasible plan
and Council no doubt will go
ahead and make one parking
side only.

The report that 10000 men
and women are enrolled in the
Columbia University summer
school may be taken as an in
dication as to the vast growth
of the movement, inaugurated
for the benefit Of school in
structors. As all of the near
ly 1000 such schools report a
capacity attendance it is not
to be doubted that half a mil
lion students are availing
themselves of the opportunity
for advancement in their pro-
fessions. Commenting on this
the Wilmington Every Even
ing says: Summer schools
seem to have become almost a
necessity to teachers in en-
abling them to refresh the i'm
pres of their earlier tuition,
and to keep pace with the de-
velopments and evolution in
school teaching. Evidently
the five or six weeks of extra
study is of great advantage to
ambitious teachers determin-
ed to render efficient service.
Without these occasional re-
turns to text book and peda-
gogue it is almost impossible
for them to attain and main
tain that degree of capacity
tax payers have the right to
demand.
4'The students of summer
schools find the experience in
turning back from teaching to

ant, but quite the contrary,
and one can hardly commend
with sufficient emphasis the
value of these vacation CEN

HE WAS HONEST

Socialism, in a political sense of the word, is not popu-
lar with the American people. 1t is a movement domineered
by men of the fanatic type and exploited by political charla-
tans to such an extent that in only a few isolated instances
has that party been represented by anyone approaching any
degree of craftsmanship.
One of the few big men Socialism has produced in Am
waukee. His elements of greatness lay not so much in bis
accomplishments nor his ability to expound his theories of
government, for he was a mar of very ordinary ability, but
hi. steadfastness won him the admiration of even his most
bitter enemies.
There was nothing Of the opportunist about Berger. He
never sidestepped an issue nor waivered in his convictions
even though at times his stand was nationally unpopular and
average Socialistic politician, he refused to pose as a martyr
to win sympathy to his cause.
The world admires an honest man, and Mr.. Berger,
whose untimely death occurred in Milwaukee recently, is
mourned as such by thousands of people who had small sym
pathy for his theories of government but saw in him a man
true to his honest convictions-a virtue none too common
among the politicians of today.

IS SINCERE

If a. c. 1ownley is seriously concerned over the liquor
problem and would like to see it solved in the interests of
temperance and morality it is strange that he did not place
his organizing ability at the disposal of the government in
its efforts to enforce the law that is now on the statute
books, rather than to go out to seek the repeal of that law
and the substitution of the government sale of liquor, which
has not proved very satisfactory-perhap not more SO than
our own law even in its present stage OF enforcement. His
influence and organizing ability might have gone far toward
helping establish a wholesome sentiment in support of the
Volstead law, which needs most of all the moral backing of
that great percentage of the country population which does
bring about as general an observance of this law as is given
to any criminal statute. Mr.. Townleys gifts and donations
are not likely to come from those who really want to Danish
liquor, and it is doubtful that his persuasive powers will

YOUTH LOSES AN OLD COMPANION-

Many a gray-haired boy is mourning the passing of the
Youths Companion, lately taken over and merged with the
American Boy. For more than a century the Companion
was a weekly visitor in the homes where thoughtful parents
sought to stimulate their boys and girls to reading Of the
right sort. Its memories they still cherish as a part of their
youth.
Long before the Boy Scout movement began, the Com
passion was teaching boys ~woodcraft, and stimulating them
to learn the practical use of tools. Its fiction was sexless and
sane compared to that of today, and would be dismissed as
'stufy' by the modern boy, unless he found it "goofy.' But
it held young folks interest in those days. When a serial by
J. !. lhowbridge was running, they would hang on the front
gate and watch the town clock for the approach of mail time
on Companion day"
Perry Mason & Company had many an eager, untutor-
ed helper in their circulation campaigns. Most boy sub
scribers made themselves nuisances to neighbors in their ef-
forts to win a magic lantern or a stereoscope. For only ten
new subscribers a boy might make himself the owner of a
smelly stereopticon and give parlor shows. With this mot
ley army OF solicitors the Companion penetrated and even
blanketed most of the smaller American communities in the
pre-Roosevelt days.
Newer selling methods, snappier fiction and changing
juvenile tastes, gradually r~elegated the Youths Companion
to the discard. What once was a gold mine became a white
elephant and SO, goodbye to the old Observation-Disclosures

FIND 57-TON GIRDER TAKEN
OUT BY FLOOD

Glendive-Fifty-seven and a half
tons of steel railroad bridge, which
did a Houdini disappearing act dur
ing the Wibeaux flood seven weeks

the Northern Pacific Railroad.
The bridge, which was located 10
dry creek. But on June 6, a cloud
burst forced a channel "a feet deep
through the course, wrecking the
bridge. Northern Pacific crews quick
ly constructed a temporary bridge
and then it was discovered that one
Of the spans Of the steel bridge, 81
feet long, representing a gross cost
of $l3,265, had disappeared COM
pletely. A search failed to disclose it.
The water receded, a mud surface
caked the creek bed and it baked
and cracked in the sunshine. A few
days ago, engineers discovered in the
cracks in the mud an outline of the
missing steed girder. It was located
right side up, 90 inches below the
the surface of the mud, from which
it is being excavated. The near end
of this 81 and one half ton girder
was found 230 feet downstream from
the track, having been carried to
the opposite band of the creek.

Richland County Fair
Will Feature Huge Fire
Works At Night Show

One of the largest open-air fire
works attractions eve brought to
this State-"The Festival of Fire.
will headline the evening entertain
ment program at the Richland Coun-
ty Fair at Sidney, September 10th
to 18th, this year, according to con-
tracts which have been closed by
Fair officials and which were an
nounced today by Secretary Harold
F. DePue.
The attraction will be planned and
carried out in its entirety by the
worlds largest producers of fire
works displays, the Thearle- Duffield
Fireworks Company of Chicago, who
have furnished the pyrotechnic spec
tacles for the last three World Fairs,
and for hundreds of State Fairs and
celebrations throughout the country.
1t will be enacted on a huge scale,
much more elaborate and extensive
than any evening program presented
here in recent years.
According to the preliminary out
line given out today by Secretary
DePue. "The Festival of Fire" will,
as its name implies, present every
type Of feature now embraced in the
world of modern fireworks. Quad
ripple repeating rockets, battle shells,
set pieces of dazzling beauty and
color, weird aerial bombs that shrek
and howl as they zig-zag across tho
sky-these and scores of other en-
tirely new types of py~rotechnics will
be mingled in profusion with histor.
ical features, comedy tableaux in
fire and flame, and many other at
fractions running the entire gamut of
the fireworks art.
Aside from the new, bizarre and
unusual, the event will also bring
back to local fair-goers all Of the old
favorites of other times, such as
Niagara Falls" the Fountain Of
Jewels" portraits of famous figures
done in living flames, action pieces,
and like attractions which have been
favorites with fair-goers for many
seasons.
A special corps Of fireworks TECH
nicians will be brought here to stage
the entire event, and tons of fire
works will be required for the COM
plete presentation, Secretary DePue
said today. ut will be the very last
word in modern evening entertain
ment, and will make an entirely new
step in fireworks attractions" the
management declares. 1--WE are
sparing no expense to make this the
greatest night show we have ever
presented in the history Of the Fair"
