CONSOLIDATE WITH MILFORD
SCHOOLS

At an election called by the
Slaughter Neck Public School voters
according to law as made and pro-
Vided for consolidation of public
school districts, the voters of Slaugh-
ter Neck District ON Friday, May l,
1881; voted fifty-eight for cOnsOlida-
tion and fOrty-eight against. The
Milford Special School District Vot-
ed on the question at the same time /;
the result being a total of nine votes
all for consolidation. This result
brings all of Slaughter Neck into
the Milford School, and the children
will be carried to and from school
via auto bus. One half of this school
of two rooms in Slaughter Neck has
previously been in attendance in
Milford and only one room left in
service.
The concrete highway from
Slaughter Beach to Milford passes
through Slaughter Neck and good
connecting roads with that highway
affords the children opportunity for
the best education provided by the
State.
Milford is to have six new rooms
added to the new high school this
summer to meet absolute require
ments at the high school.
The two school rooms at the old
grade school No. l, will be made to
accommodate one of the grades and
relieve any congestion in that
school.
The Milford Special School Dis
trict will probably engage teachers
for 1928 school year next week.

ENTERTAIN GUESTS

Mr.. and Mrs. John H. Bennett and
family entertained two very delight
full guests and relatives over the
past weekend. They were two bro
ther, Charles F. Jester of Newport,
and Maxwell B. Jester of Chicago,
Ill.
During the visit very strange
and interesting family history was
unraveled. The Jester guests are
members of an old Delaware family
who came to this country from Eng
century. landing at Bowman's
Beach. This beach was given to the
Bowman family by grant from the
King of England. The two families
were later united by marriage, the
great-grandmother of the two bro
theirs being a Bowman.
John H. Bennett is also a member
of this old Jester family through his
mother, Mrs. Margaretta Bennett
who was Jester and an aunt of the
two brothers. Mrs. Bennett is still
living at the age of 78 and resides
near Milford in the home to which
she went as a bride.
The two brothers have only just
met each other due to the fact that
the eldest was left in the East with
an aunt after the mothers death.
The father, Foster C. Jester, moved
to Indiana and married again, later
becoming the father of the second
son, Maxwell. Lately they had an
opportunity to meet each other and
look up family history for the first
time. Charles, the elder, has a pro-
fitable interior decorating business
at Newport and Maxwell is connect
ed with the Calumet Refining Com
pany as chief chemist and chemical
sales director.

the Federal Government in the
administration of the prohibition
laws, it was disclosed today in
reports to both wet and dry
organizations.
For the most part, it is shown
in the results Of the sessions in
more than 40 States, some of
which have not ended, that pro-
hibition was shunted in the con.
sideration of state legislative mat
tiers.
Action Followed
While both the wet and dry
organizations claim victories in
various legislatures, Federal Off
cials here have followed closely
any action which indicated a viii.
lingness of States to assume a
greater burden of the job of en-
forcement.
In its report on prohibition,
made last winter just after many
State legislatures had gone into
session, the Wickersham Commits
sion said:
"There has been in recent
years a growing tendency, even
in States with prohibition laws,
to let the Federal Government
carry the burden of enforce.
ment."
No New Ones Created
The commission pointed out
that very few States have State
prohibition agencies, similar to
the Federal Bureau Of Prohibi-
ton. r.. @
The survey of the legislatures
diSclOseS that no new State en-
fOrcement agencies were set up,
nor were any abolished.
Federal officials expected the
Wickersham report might be fol-
lowed by drastic laws in many
States, together with establish
ment of more central agencies and
greater appropriations.
Both the association against the
prohibition amendment and the
Anti-salOOn League claim victories
in the State legislatures. The
former lists Is wet actions against
three claSsed as dry, but the Anti
saloon League declares the wet ef-
fort for major legislation was
defeated in all parts Of the nation.

One of the most drastic dry
acts was in Iowa, where trans
portation. of liquor was made a
felony, with prison sentence. Mis-
souri, also removed the minimum
penalty for first offenders.
Michigan passed a measure
placing q tax on malt syrup, ac-
cOrding to the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment, and
Alabama placed q tax on malt
syrup.
The survey shows an attempt
to repeal a novel law in Ala
bama was defeated. The proposal
sought to prohibit possession of
any beverage which ''looks like,
