SMYRNA To HAVE GAS TURNED
ON WITHIN TWO MORE WEEKS
CLAYTON AND CHESWOLD
ALL READY FOR SERVICE
Gas Turned on i'm These Towns
Last WeelS-New Main Being
Laid on Union and Market SITS.

Gaunett, Seelye and Fleming of
Harrisburg, Pa, who are under
contract with the Associated Gas
and Electric Corporation of which
the Dover Gas Light Company is
a subsidiary, has about completed
its work and gas will be ready to
turn on in Smyrna within ten days
or two weeks if weather conditions
permit. This contracting firm of
which H. V. Gulick has been the
superintendent in charge, started
last November. They have laid a
pipe line from Dover to Smyrna,
connected up Cheswold, recondi-
toned and put the Smyrna mains
in shape and run line from
Smyrna to Clayton. Cheswold and
Clayton are ready. In fact gas
has already been turned on in
those towns, but regular service
has not been established because
the new lot of gas meters has not
arrived. AS soon as they get here
service will be inaugurated in
those towns as fast as they can
get the meters and gas stove
hook-ups installed. The work now
is being pushed in Smyrna with all
possible speed. The Boulevard ex-
tension was completed yesterday
afternoon and this morning dig
ging was started on Union Street
between South and Commerce to
lay five hundred or more feet of
three-inch main. When this is
done the small main on Market
street will be replaced by larger
one and Smyrna will be ready to
take on service. All the old mains
have been gone over, cleared of
obstructions and put in regulation
order. Considerable more testing
is to be done and as officially re-
quested by advertisement in an
other column, patrons are expect
eG to look out for leaks and report
at the office. The chemical used
in making the test has q penetrat-
ing odor and you will be able to
detect it easily. In the meantime
the Associated Gas and Electric
Securities Co, thru the local office,
the Dover Gas Light Company,
are giving you an opportunity to
share in the profits of the COM
pany whose net earnings last year
was over fifty million dollars, an
increase over 1928 of 16 per cent.

ing planned for Kent County un-
der the auspices of the Extension
Service of which Mrs. Helen Nc
Kinley is state leader. Mrs. Ern-

on the fitted foundation pattern.
One of the hardest things for a
woman who sews for herself is the
fitting, and these patterns are
carefully made for each individual
just to help out on that particular
problem. They are splendid for
making up quickly simple house
dresses and inexpensive wash ma
terials for the summer. At these
meetings, also, will be taken up
the subject of short cuts and how
to make tailored f1nishings like
set-in-pockets, bound buttonholes,
etc. Each woman will bring wool
and cotton pieces SO that models
may be made to take home. These
meetings are to be held in the fol-

SMYRNA ROTARY CLUB MEET
Colonel A. K. Tanner Presents In
teresting Address to Rotary

The Smyrna Rotary Club held
its meeting on Thursday evening at
the Wayside Inn. The speaker of
the evening was Colonel A. E.
Tanner of the Ferris Industrial
School of Wilmington He gave a
very interesting talk on the work
and the progress of the school to
which he is associated. His most
interesting address was divided
into three parts: The first part
gave the reasons why the boys
were in the school; second, the
life of the boys while attending
the school, and third, and last, the
aims and objects of those in
charge of the organization. At
present the school has an enroll
ment of two hundred and sixty
five. The address was a revelation
to all present of the good work
the school is really doing and which
many people had no idea that was
being carried on there. The men,
bers of the club warmly thanked
Colonel Tanner for coming thru
the heavy storm. @. L. Harmon
son, president of the club, presid-
ed over the meeting and Hervey P.
Hall, presented the speaker. He
was accompanied to this meeting

Snow Storm of Thursday Gave
Young and Old Rare Opportunity

The snow storm, almost ap-
preaching a blizzard, which swept
up from the Carolinas last Thurs
day, clothed Smyrna and vicinity
with four or five inches of snow
and drifts that impeded progress
but without any serious damage to
traffic or property. The snow fall
ing on surface already covered
with ice and sleet, made real win
ter sport and while it lasted, was
indulged in to the fullest by the
small boy and his sled and grown
ups too. There were sleighs out
but "Old Dobbin" is TOO slow in
this day for winter pastimes, SO
the real kick" came with attach
ing a string of sleds to fast
moving auto and seeing the snow
fly" A number of parties were
out and boys with sleds watched
their opportunity to catch on most
every automobile that was out. All
day Thursday, it showed constant
ly and to be out in the snow was
pastime enjoyed by many until
late hour. Coasting was indulg-
ed in by young and old. Further
down the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula
there seemed to be more snow
with 9 inches reported in Virginia,
6 or Z inches in Maryland and six
inches at Delmar The snow soon
went away with the moderate
weather and thaw of Saturday.

LEWES-CAPE MAY FERRY LINE
AWAITS NEW JERSEY ACTION
DESIRE TO HAVE BILL PASS
ED AS DID DELAWARE
Movement For a Ferry in Lower
Delaware to Connect by Regu-
lar Schedule, Lewes-Cape May

That activities toward promot-
ing the proposed Lewes, Del, to
Cape May Point, N. j., ferry line
are still under way is reported to-
day by the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore Association. At a meeting
of the Chamber Of Commerce, at
Camden, NJ, last Thursday night
Messrs. Joseph F. McSweeney,
President of the Rehoboth Beach
Kiwanis Club; Paul E. Carpenter,
President of the Lewes Chamber
of Commerce, and Edwin G. Tot
ten, Executive Secretary of the
Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore Asso-
citation, were invited for confer
ence which might be of assistance
in aiding the New Jersey author
tiles toward securing the neces-
sary legislation on their side.
While no formal action was taken
at this conference, assurance was
given that Senator Reed and other
officials who introduced legislation
last year would again be active
during the session this year and
plans were talked over whereby
such legislation might concur with
that which was favorably acted
upon in Delaware last year. From
the Peninsula point of view the
parties interested in establishing
the ferry service from Del-Mar-Va
to New Jersey are still actively in
terested and are awaiting upon the
New Jersey legislation which
would prevent any later hindrance
to their proposed plan of opera
tion. A conference at which facts
will be presented to representa-
tive of the New Jersey legislative
body was scheduled for Saturday
last, February 1st, in Wilmington.
Material prepared and compiled by
the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore As
sociation was presented at that
time and as it has been accepted as
authentic and of direct value, its
weight in the action of the New
Jersey Legislature is anticipated
to be effective. Still later, con-
ference between the Cape May
County Chamber of Commerce
and its officials, who advocate the
ferry line, with the Rehoboth and
Lewes organizations and a repre-
sentative of the Del-Mar-Va Asso-
citation, is scheduled.

KENT COUNTY LEVY COURT
NAMES TRUSTEES OF POOR
WILLIAM H. LURTY, SMYRNA
Is A HOLD-OVER MEMBER
Contest on To-Day For Overseer
of the Kent County Home and
Farm to Succeed Leon Jones

Kent County Levy Court met in
regular session yesterday and con-
siderable business was before the
meeting, the most important of
which was the naming of the
Trustees of the Poor of Kent
County. w. H. Lurty is the hold
over member from this district.
The trustees of the first, third,
fifth and ninth districts all being
hold-over members, the election
did not effect them. The Levy
Court named trustees in the dis
tricts where terms had expired, as
follows: John Caulk, second dis
trict; Alexander Jackson, fourth
district; Linden Caulk, sixth dis
trict; a Mr.. Clark from the eighth
district, and a Mr. Armour of the
tenth district. The newly-elect
members and the hold-over mem
bers are meeting at the Kent
County Home near Wyoming to-
day for the purpose of re-organiz-
ing for the year. The principal
business before the trustees is the
election of an overseer to succeed
Leon Jones of Smyrna, who has
been the incumbent of that Office
for several years and has made a
good record. He probably could
have been reappointed unanimous
ly had not change been made in
the politics of Kent County Levy
Court at the last election. Mr..
Jones is a Democrat and the pres
ent Levy Court is Republican, and
since the latter party is in control
Mr.. Jones had to step aside. One
of the contenders for the position
to-day is G. Herman Garrison of
Cheswold The latter was promis-
ed the place and so assured was
he that he would get it that he
has advertised public sale of the
stock and farming implements in
order to be ready to accept the job
if it came his way. Recently an
other candidate from the lower
part of the county entered the
race and yesterday it looked about
fifty-ffty. However, Mr.. Garrison
is going on with his sale and in
event he does not land the job he
intends to move to smaller farm
near Cheswold.

port on each dairy herd in the as
sociation was presented by Alois
Leinen, tester for the organiza-
ton. He believes that at the end
of the testing year, March 81,
there will be about nine herds
making an average of 300 pounds
or over of butterfat and about six
herds will average 275 pounds but
terfat, while the remaining ones in
the association will average better
than $50 pouns for each cow in
the herd. Discussion on how to
figure the yearly milk production,
payment for testing cows in the
herd over 80 and the basis of re
testing cows producing over two
and one-half pounds of fat per day
was heard and these matters were
referred to the executive commit
tee which decided to meet in
County Agent Willim's office this
week to act on these matters.
