SMYRNA FIREMEN
SEEK SUPPORT
Will Not Hold a Supper This
Year But Will Ask For
Donations From Vicinity
ASK CASH OR PRODUCE

Smyrna's splendid organization
of firemen, officially known as Cit
izens' Hose Company, No i, Inc,
have decided not to hold their an
nual supper in February this year
but instead will come direct before
the citizens of Smyrna and vicin-
ity and ask for donations of cash,
or produce that can be converted
into cash, as means of raising
funds to meet their operating ex-
penses. Due to having purchased
a new fire engine the past year
they are obliged to keep up an ad-
ditiOnal amount of interest besides
their running expenses and instead
Of having chicken salad or turkey
supper which experience has prov
en- to be more improbable than
profitable, our firemen feel their
efforts might be better spent i'll
making a direct canvas for funds,
especially since there have already
been a number of church and club
suppers asking for public patron
age. Usually it has been begging
for a supper and then asking all
to come to the supper and buy
it back, a system that some mem
bers feel works an imposition With
this idea in view the Smyrna Fire
Company at recent meeting turn
ed the matter over to a special
soliciting committee composed Of
J. Kent Sheubrooks, Grover @.
King, and William Ellison, who
propose to start canvassing next
Monday, February g. Their cam
paign will close Thursday, Febru-
airy 23. It is sincerely hoped BY
all our volunteer fremen, whose
services are always yours, day Or
night, when a fire catastrophy
overtakes your home or property,
that you Will respond as generous
ly as you can in this campaign and
give the Fire Company the en-
couragement of your whole heart
ed support. They will appreciate a
donation not only from every prop
erty owner, but renters Of proper
ty as well. Make your checks pay
able to the Citizens Hose Company
No. !, Of Smyrna, and either give
or mail to Grover O. King, secre-
tary Of the committee. Farmers
who do not find it convenient to
raise the cash, can make a dona-
ton Of poultry, eggs or any prod
uce the committee can turn into
cash.

FOR OUR STATE TO
RIVAL NEVADA
AssembIyman W. T. Bennett
of Laurel, Would Make Will
mington Reno" Of East
PLANS TO PRESENT BILL

Delaware would become the rival
Of Reno, Nevada, for the distinc-
tion Of being the nations foremost
divorce mill, if a bill now contem-
plated is introduced into the State
Legislature and becomes law. Rep
resentative William 7. Bennett, of
Laurel, said he is planning to intro
duce a bill which would relax the
divorce laws to steal some of
Reno's divorce business and pro-
vide additional State revenue. He
also plans to introduce a bill to
legalize horse racing, as another
source of revenue Wilmington,
since it is the largest city in the
State and is located on the railroad
lines. it is pointed out, would prob
ably be the center of the divorce
industry, if Representative Ben
nett's contemplated bill becomes
law Since Wilmington is IN the
eastern metropolitan district, it is
even thought possible Wilmington
would attain greater fame than has
Reno in the putting asunder of the
joined together. There are many
it is pointed out, who think they
have found that the martial knot
ties a hangman's moose, but who
have not the funds for a trip to
Reno, which is far from most
thickly populated sections. A trip
to Delaware from Baltimore, for
instance, or New York, would be
within their means Revenues, Mr.
Bennett believes. would be increas-
ed not only through fees, but
through the money which would be
spent in Delaware while the di-
vorce-seekers are establishing resi-
dence. Mr.. Bennett would have the
residence period as low as Reno's
or lower.
