Parents Asked to Cooperate With
Committee for Proper Pictures
For the Children To See

Many of the civic organizations
in Dover have, for a long period
of time, talked of and wished for

and heroines, exhibitions of prowess
in sports, etc. 1t is along these
lines the weekly matinees will be
planned followed by a moving pic
ture of high merit. The Better

of a few people but will be COM
prised of representatives of public
spirited people of all civic, relig-
ious, educational and social organi-
cations of the county. The objec-
tives of such an organization are:
First-Increase demand for bet
ter films by promoting patronage
of only clean and wholesome pic

Gus and unwholesome films. Third

Harrington, elected first vice-presi-
dent at the Dover meeting, tender
ed his resignation as he is planning
to move to Snow Hill, Md, where
he will enter the milling business.
Chief ]. N. Jordin, vice-president
of the Delaware State Firemen's
Association, was the first speaker.
He mentioned the recent death of
their president while in the line of
duty, and the accident at Malvern.
He was there to convey the sym
pathy of the State association to
the Malvern Company. He also
complimented the town of Mag
nolia on its water system. w. A.
Thompson, chief safety engineer of
the Pyrites Company, was the next
speaker. He said that every fire
man should consider the response
bility that rests upon his should
ers; that it is a sacrifice to be in
the volunteer fire service. Mr..
Thompson declared he derived
much benefit from meetings of all
fire organizations. He further
stressed the fact that first aid
should be taken up by every fire
company; that one cannot tell
when first aid will be needed. Chief
Frank Soule, of the Coatesville
Fire Company, also fire marshal of
Chester county. spoke. Chief Soule
explained the Malvern accident in
detail. In closing Chief Soule said
there were two things a fire chief
should do. He should select COM
petent drivers, thoroughly capable
of driving a fire truck and above
all those with cool heads, because
in sense they are responsible for
the lives of all volunteers on the
truck. Information was given re-
garding an interior fire on the sec
ond or third floor being fought
with chemicals. He advised the
man with the nozzle first to should
er three or four coils of chemical
hose and enter the building. Di-
rectors Hayes and Schmidt were
instructed to collect the question
naires for round table discussion at
the next meeting in Hartly. A few
remarks were made by r. D. Sim
mons, G. w. Johnson, Frank Bur-
ris and George w. Swain.

HOLD STATE MUSIC CONTEST
First Delaware State Contest Held
Last Saturday at Dover

On Saturday, April 25th, the first
Delaware State Music Contest was
held. The contest movement in mu-
sic has been developing very rap
idly during the past ten years
throughout the United States. At
present forty states hold contests
annually The Delaware contest
included the following types of
events: Music Memory Teams from
grades 5, 6, z and 8. Group events,
such as bands, orchestras, glee
clubs, quartettes, instrumental en-
sembles from the high school. In
addition there was solo contests in
piano playing, in singing, and in
playing on bona fide band or or
chestra instruments. The contest
was held in Dover. Bands and or
chestras in the auditorium of the
Dover high school; soloists and
small ensembles in the auditorium
of the Murphey School; music
memory contest in the community
auditorium of the Peoples Church.
Registration for the contest occur
red at $50 at the Dover high
school. The contest began prompt
ly at 1000 o'clock. There was
about 300 pupils who entered into
the contest. Preliminary tests
have been held throughout the diff
ferent schools in the State. 5000
children took the preliminary Mu-
sic Memory Test so that the re-
suits of the contest reach practi-
cally every school in the State. In
the afternoon Mr.. zanzig, the mu-
sic specialist from the National
Recreation Association of America
who is one of the judges, conduct
ed the combined group in a musi-
cal festival in the auditorium of
the Murphey School, after which
DR.. H. v. Holloway, State Superin-
tendent of Public Intruction, ad-
dressed the participants and made
the awards. The other judge for
the contest was Mr.. John H. jan
quish, Director of Public School
Music, Atlantic City, N. j. The

the direction of Miss Helen Mar
tin, State Supervisor of Music, and

d ecoration committee, Baker,

mittee, Johnson, Burris, Pettyjohn
and Morris; entertainment commit
tee. Pettyjohn, Walker, Davis and
Massey. There was discussion in
connection with the State conven-
ton dates, as the State of Mary
land will hold their convention at
ocean City, Md, on the same
dates. 1t is believed that conflict
ing dates will be more of a hind
rance to the Maryland convention
than to Delaware and steps are be-
ing taken to have Maryland change
their dates. It was learned through
The Dover delegates that Safety
Director John Argo had recently
received a citation for his heroic
work in life saving at a recent fire.
Mr.. Haddaway remarked that he
hoped all fire companies would
avail themselves of the chance to
get first aid and added: Lets
make it a safety year" He later
commended the members of. the
legislative committee and on mo-
tion discharged them with vote
of thanks. At this time a recess
was declared to allow the dinner
to be served by the ladies of Mag
nolia. State Vice-President ]. N.
Jordin offered the blessings. The
association then went into business
session and sustained the action of
the president in sending flowers to
the funeral of Lieutenant George
McGonigal and also the Kent coun-
ty secretary in purchasing new
minute book. The Carlisle Fire
Company, of Milford, made appli-
cation for membership. They were
unanimously elected and their dele
gates present were given a voice
and vote. Desiring to be listed as
charter member of the associa-
ton, they accompanied their ap-
plication with check covering in
itiation fees, assessments and dues
to date. George w. Swain, Of
