Smyrna times., 1931-12-30

With the coming of the new
year let Smyrna resolve to
use its utmost endeavor to at
tract some industries here
which in turn will give more
employment and put more
money in circulation. If farm
erS can get a fair return for
their grain and produce and
industries in our midst can
give employment to men and
women in considerable num-
bers, Smyrna would naturally
feel the impetus, business
would be better and the town
would grow.

announced as the result of
cross-breeding by the Federal
Agricultural Department, is
regarded as especially adapted
to the soil and climate of Del
aware and adjacent states.
The Bellmar, as it is named,
is said to be particularly de-
sirable for marketing, and the
government recommends it
for a tryout in this section.
Two other new varieties also
have been developed, one aim
ed to meet the wants Of the
Pacific Northwest and the
other fitted for the South
western country. So each has
a field Of its own. The de-
partment emphasizes the be-
lief that the Bellmar will car
ry better and longer without
injury than the strawberries
now raised in the berry belt of
the North and East, and the
top tier Of the eastern South
ern states. The fruit is said
to be large and attractive in
color and possibly would sell
to consumers more readily
than some of the present pop
ular favorites. The new hyb-
rid is expected to be planted
over considerable acreage in
and in the Del-Mar-
Va section until its bearing
qualities and the merit of the
fruit are fully tested. AS yet
he Bellmar has only been
grown by the government bu-
eau, the head of which re-
cards the result of the cross
breeding as a berry of great
oromise.-Every Evening.

We note with pleasure that
the Telephone Company is to
spend a large budget in i'm
proving its lines and system
in Delaware. Then why not
give Smyrna-Clayton a COM
mon battery service like Do
yer, Milford and other places.
The days of the wall box bell
ringer is becoming passe.
Smyrna is eager for the most
modern service and the wish
is the Telephone Company will
see fit to install the common

preciated.

Nearly one-quarter of the
nations 24,OOO,0O0 operating
automobiles are to be found
on the farms, according to the
Bureau Of the Census. Fifty
eight per cent Of reporting
farms have passenger auto
mobiles and 1874 per cent of
them have motor trucks. 1t
might seem that the farmer,
dealing in rather heavy pro-
duce, would find a deeper need
for the truck than for the pas
senger car but his very calling
makes him a resourceful pers-
on. He finds that it is much
more practicable to load a calf
into a sedan in a pinch than
his sweetheart into a truck.
The calf has less to say about
the incongruity. Eggs and
tomatoes fit into a rumble seat
very well but 5-ton truck
takes up too much room park
ed in front of a movie on the
court house square.

was riding turned over three times

to Centreville and later taken to
his home. The other occupants of
the car were Miss Barbara Hum
phreys and Michael Williams, of
Chestertown. Mr.. Roe, who is a
student at the University of Vir-
ginia, was spending the holidays
with his parents in SudlersviIIe.

Smyrna has passed thru a
very happy Christmas. Be
sides the cheer in street, bus
iness and home decorations,
the treat to the kiddies by
Santa Claus and the remem-
bering of the shut-ins, sick

mas spirit a quickening one
and the celebration a worth
while event.

Final reports of savings by
Christmas clubs for 1881
show that the accumulation Of
money released for the holi-
days averages about S. for
every man, woman and child
in this country. Despite the
period Of depression, the saw
ings for the year exceeded
those Of 1880 by $1OO,OOO,OOO.
"The Washington govern
Evening, regards this show
ing as of the utmost import
ance just at this time, con-
tending that with $6OO,OOO,-
900 laid by for Christmas and
almost S3O,OOO,OOO more in
savings banks, deposited by
less than half of our people,
our nation is long, long way
from restitution or even from
lack of ready funds. There
is, of course, no way by which
one might ascertain whether
the Christmas savings releas-
ed at holiday time went for
purchases. Presumably a
quarter of it went back to
work another year, drawing
interest.
''The total shows that our
people are thrifty and have
adopted the practice of put
ting aside considerable sums
for holidays, and for the rainy
days that are the bane Of hui
man existence. In addition to
these figures, large amounts
we're sent to the people "back
home" in foreign lands, and
we believe that the dangerous,
unwise habit of banking in the
family china closet and other
unsafe places has not been en-
tirely abandoned, although
the "first of banks" has large
ly ceased business since the
manufacturers of hosiery
have woven their wares with
such fine silk as to no longer
protect the deposits from
sight and consequent danger.
"In discussing finances it is
interesting to learn that there
were no big holdups nor thefts
of money during the holidays,
and Yuletide was singularly
