NO WOMEN FOR JURY DUTY
Effort of Mrs. Tschudy in Her Bill
for Equality of Sexes, Defeated

Mrs. Estelle Tschudy's bill to
amend the present law relative to
women serving on jury duty was
defeated in the lower House of the
Delaware Legislature Monday by a
vote of yeas, % nays. Under the
present law a woman called for
jury duty may be excused on re
request. The purpose Of the bill
was to place the women on the
same footing as men as to jury
duty. The bill had the backing Of
the Women's Joint Legislative
Committee. In called the bill up
Mrs. Tschudy asked the privilege
of the floor for Mrs. James H.
Hughes, Of Dover, Miss Marie
Lockwood, of Middletown and Miss
Edith Spruance, of Wilmington.
Each of the women argued that
women should be required to serve
on juries under the same condi-
tions as men and that the law
should not allow them to be ex-
cused simply on request. One Of
the speakers contended it placed
women in the class of slackers as
the law is at present. Represen-
tative Hollett, of Clayton, in a
short address said he would have
to be controlled by the majority in
his district. He said he had con-
suited most Of the women in his
district and of the 500 ne was sure
80 per cent were opposed to the bill.
Others agreed with Mr.. Hollet,
and cited the unpopularity Of the
measure and lack Of sentiment

Mr.. Roy Reed, accompanied by Mr..

tion for Kent County on February
5th. 1t was decided at this meet
ing that a get-to-gether' banquet
would be held on March 10th, the

er. The purpose of this banquet is
to afford everyone attending Adult

the opportunity of meeting others
who are studying in evening class
es and at the same time to become
acquainted with the scope of this
Adult Education movement.
Much interest is being manifested
in their work by the pupils of the
sixth grade. The first section of
the sixth grade is working on an
industry map of Delaware the
second section is making a histor-
ical map of Delaware. We find,
however, that both sections are
combining in planning a South
American expedition to which all
of their parents are invited to at
tend.

INTEREST IN TOWN ELECTION
Coming Election Monday, Febru-
airy 23rd, Promises Lively Contest
Both Factions to File Names

Both Factions to File Names
Following in the wake of the
recent Referendum Election in
which a majority of voters voted
down the offer of the Eastern
Shore Public Service Co. to buy
our electric light plant and fran
chise, much interest is being awak-
ened in the coming annual Town
Election to be held Monday after
non, February 23rd, from 2 to 5
o'clock. The terms of three mem
bers of Smyrna Town Council ex-
pire: Edward T. Porter, V. Lay
Phillips and George Reynolds Stew
enson. Messrs. Porter and Stew
enson, no doubt, viii be nominated
to succeed themselves. Mr.. Phil
lips, it is understood, will not be
a candidate for reelection. Al
ready the victors at the recent
Referendum Election have slated
G. Reynolds Stevenson, President
of Council, who was the lone mem
Der who stood out and opposed the
franchise sale. With him they are
boosting the names of Creadick
Ennis of the firm of Ennis & Dea-
kyne, auto dealers and George w.
Turner, our well-known retired
property and land owner. The
other side, those who wanted to
see the Towns bonded indebted
ness liquidated and favored ac-
cepting the munifcent offer made
for our plant, distribution system
and franchise, will no doubt, wish
to see the name of Edward I.
Porter on the ticket. Mr.. Porter
for years has been the efficient sec
retary of Council and his long ex-
/ perience with town affairs makes
him too valuable man on the
Board to lose his services. The
name of Matthew V. Ford, retired
farmer and milk dealer, will also
be filed along with Mr. Porter
while the name of George W.Turn-
er, filed by the OPPOSITION, is as ac-
ceptable to one faction as the
other. Whether any other
names will be put in nomination
besides the five suggested above
has not been definitely announced
at this writing and may not be
known until after Friday night.
All nominations must be submitted
to Town Council ten days before
election and Friday night incident
ally is the last regular meeting.

SMYRNA ROTARY CLUB NEWS
Fellow Rotarian Alex. HandlOff
Speaks on Social Vocation


The Smyrna Rotary Club at
their weekly meeting held last
Thursday at the Wayside Inn
heard fellow Rotarian Alex. Hand
loft discuss Social Vocation from a
personal standpoint. The speaker
said in part while being born
abroad and entering the United
States at an early age he was
compelled to learn the English
language in order to proceed along
the lines that he desired to pursue.
He first entered upon an industrial
career and after a few short weeks
he discarded that pursuit to be-
come a merchant, this business not
being the best at the time he en-
tered the paper-hanging trade and
later became a mechanic. While
still a young man the mercantile
business still had his attention and
after a few ventures in this busi-
ness he chose Smyrna as the place
to establish a business and estab-
lish a permanent residence. Past
President c. L. Harmonson presid-
ed at the meeting in the absence of
both the President and Vice-presi-
dent. The club accepted an invita-
tion of the Harrington club to be
present at their meeting on Feb
ruary 18th to hear a concert by an
ensemble from the Philadelphia
Orchestra. Visiting Rotarian,

CHESAPEAKE BAY BRIDGE
Attempt to Bury the Whole Prop
osition Seen in Legislature

Appointment of special COM
mittee, jointly of the House and
Senate of the Maryland General
Assembly, to consider the report
of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge
Construction and, IN general, the
proposal to link the Eastern and
Western Shores of the State, was
assailed last week by Senator S.
Scott Beck, of Chestertown, Md,
representative of Kent county, in
the upper house, as an effort to
bury the whole proposition. De-
claring the the decision of the gov
ernor and officers of both branches
of the Legislature to place the
problem in the committees hands
was passing the buck" on the
proposal to build the span across
the bay, Senator Beck added that
"the whole thing is stacked against
one man." He asserted nothing
can be done, however, to remedy
the situation. The Eastern Shore
terminal of the proposed ten-mile
structure. estimated to cost at
least 100000. would rest near
Colchester Beach, II miles north
west of this Kent county seat, and
the western terminal would rest on
Miller's Island, about II miles east
of Baltimore City.
