KINDERGARTEN
SCHOOL
Despite No Appropriation
From State, School Board
Finds Way Out
COURSE TO CONTINUE

Smyrna Special School District
is to have its Kindergarten De-
partment continued next year and
on until the Legislature meets to
make an appropriation. At a
meeting of the Smyrna Board Of
Education last week it was found
by converting some unexpended
state funds, they would have
enough to carry on without drop
ping this department which start
ed so auspiciousiy a year ago un-
der Miss Helen Foard of Middle
town. The announcement is pleas
ing to friends of education all over
the district and especially to par
ents here in Smyrna who have lit
tie ones hardly old enough to en-
ter the first grade but could well
be sent to the Kindergarten. Supt.
c. w W. Schantz and the Board
of Education had no real desire to
discontinue this department but
when the appropriation bill to car
ry on the kindergarten work
throughout the State was pocket
vetoed" by Governor Buck and al
lowed to die, there seemed no 9TH
er way out of the situation than
for the Smyrna Board of Educa
ton to drop the department alto
gether And this they did, noti-
flying Miss Helen Foard, that they
would be forced to cut out the
course in Smyrna Schools. So
much disappointment was express
ed over the affair that the Board
met last week to talk over the sit
uation and see what could be done.
They knew they could not hope to
get an appropriation from the
state for the Legislature will not
meet again until year after next.
The money appropriated for Kin
dergarten by the Legislature just
adjourned had to come under the
economy axe" for Governor Buck
found said Legislature had appro-
priated more than the State treas
ury could meet and the Kinder
garten appropriation bill went
down with other bills to keep
balanced budget in State finances.
Therefore the local Board of Edu-
cation can hope for no State aid
until the next Legislature meets.

OPEN NEW ROAD
FOR JULY 4TH
Dual Boulevard From Hare's
Corner to Wilmington Used
For the First Time
FASTENING OTHER JOBS

Anticipating extra heavy traffic
over the July Fourth holidays of
ficials Of the State Highway De
partment decided to open last
week the section Of the new dual
highway between Wilmington and
Hares Corner The stretch from
Reynolds Corner TO Smyrna was
opened over a week ago. North
bound traffic from down-State used
a cutoff near Hares Corner to en-
ter the new highway SO that traf-
fic between Wilmington and the
beginning of the new section was
only one-way on both of the lanes.
The new section ends at the en-
trance of Wilmington causeway.
The addition of these three miles
makes about SO miles of the dual
highway in use. Superintendent G.
G. Reynolds, of the State Police,
said that the new section will
greatly relieve traffic between
Hare's Corner and Wilmington.
Meanwhile hundreds of workmen
are employed grading the dual
highway right Of way on the Glas-
Cow Road and from the completed
section at 5are's Corner to State
Road. Superintendent Reynolds
ordered another count of motor
traffic made at the State Road Po-
lice Station yesterday, Fourth of
July, from noon until midnight.
State Police at Dover also con-
Quoted a count of traffic of down
State motorists on Fourth of July.

SMYRNA HAS A
QUIET FOURTH
Nothing Doing In the Way of
a Celebration This Year,
Tho a General Holiday
MANY MOTOR FOR DAY

Fourth of July was observed as
a general holiday in Smyrna but
there were no events to mark the
day and it was the most quiet of
any Smyrna has had in years. Us
ually there has been something in
the way of carnivals or boat races
on Lake Como, but this year there
was nothing The day dawned
bright and clear following the
northeast storm and sudden drop
in temperature. This made it ideal
for motoring and outing parties to
the beaches and seashore were in
vogue Many motored to Wood
land Beach, Crystal Beach, Bow
ers Beach, Betterton and other
nearby places. Other folks went
to Rehoboth for the day, a
number of young folks remaining
over for the dances last night. The
day was without serious accidents
so far as Smyrna parties were con-
cerned and as many sought their
Fourth of July pleasures out of
town, the reports of pleasant pas
times are heard from all sources.
While there was some pyrotochnic
display last night, there were no
especial features. The small boy,
with his fire crackers and other
explosives, reminded passersby of
the Fourth, but as for fireworks
there seemed to be a general alb
sence over previous years, mainly
so because of the restrictions
placed by law on selling explosives
in the State. Reports of automo-
bile traffic over Delaware high
ways show a total of 1880 auto
mobiles passed the State Road
Station of the State Police be-
tween noon and midnight yester-
day. This is an increase Of 927
cars over the 1882 traffic count
and of 1892 over the 1881 count
The increase is attributed to the
excellent weather conditions. Yes
terday was the first Fourth of July
in many years that was both COO
and clear The thousands who
went for short trips and the hun
dreds of others returning from q
prolonged weekend holiday appar-
emily enjoyed themselves as they
put off returning until several
hours later than last year. Traffic
was heaviest on the DUPONT Boule-
ward between 9 and 10 o'clock last
night when 1873 cars passed. and
between 10 and IL o'clock on the
Glasgow Road when 1908 passed
Traffic last year was heaviest be
tween s and 9 o'clock on both
roads. That most of the vacation
lists spent their time at resorts OF
in visiting instead of in riding is
indicated by the fact that traffic
was lightest on the DUPONT Boule-
ward between l and o'clock yes
terday afternoon.
