BETTER LIGHTS
ON BOULEVARD
Smyrna Rotary Club Passes
Resolution Advocating
New System
HEAR TALK ON THE NRA

The Smyrna Rotary at its meet
ing Thursday night recommended
new lighting system on the
Dual Highway thru Smyrna when
it is built. That the travelling
public may be more attracted to
Smyrna as well as Smyrna having
thru its main thoroughfare a
brilliantly lighted dual road, it
will be necessary, when the high
way is rebuilt and improved with
its flowers and shrubbery between,
to have brightly lighted thor
oughfare at night. The plan sug-
gested, it is said, with the consent
of the State Highway Depart
ment, is to have a row of orna-
mental electric light standards
down the middle of the grass plots
between the north and southbound
lanes, equipped with sufficient
lamps to light both roads. The
Rotary, ever sponsoring the good
things for Smyrna as they see
them, passed a resolution for new
lighting system to be presented to
Smyrna Town Council The Smyr-
ma Rotary had the pleasure of be-
ing hosts at The Wayside Inn din
ner Thursday evening to the Rev.
Ralph Minker and Mr. William
Guerke Of Wilmington. They were
the principal speakers at the NRA
meeting held at the Smyrna Fire
House at 8 p. m. The address of
both of these men were well re-
ceived, much valuable information
being impaired. Answers to ques-
tions asked were given in the
most intelligent manner dealing
direct with the administration as
set forth by the act creating the
NRA and all that is embodied
therein. Mr.. William T. Doughten
was admitted to membership in
the club. G. w. w. Schantz well
coined him with few remarks.
The club decided to eliminate all
future consideration of private
requests for the club attendance
at suppers. Visiting Rotarians:

yer Club. Guests: r. L. Minker,

SCHOOL NEWS
Building Commission Elected
Wednesday to Serve With
One From State Board
TO SPEND SUM OF 1925, 900

On Wednesday, October IL, a
special election was held at the
school building to elect a local
school building commission. The
following persons were unanim-
ously elected: Mr.. w. o. Hoffeck-
er, President of the Board; Mr.. w.
w. Hynson, Vice-President of the
Board; c. w. w. Schantz, Secre-
tary; and Harvey c. Jones, mem
ber. These gentlemen will meet
with a committee of four, appoint
ed by the president of the State
Board of Education and these
eight will form a school building
commission in order to plan for
the needs and equipment of the
extensive additions to be made to
the present school plant. 1t is
sincerely hoped by the local COM
mittee that the work on this pro-
ject will be expedited in order that
the building may be ready for use
by next fall. The plan is that the
alterations be made at cost of ap-
proximately $225,0OO. The orig
inal portion of the new building
that was constructed in 1922, in
Guiding the athletic field, cost ap-
proximately $185,000. In 1881, an
addition of six rooms was made at
a cost of $4,000. With the new
addition of $225,O0O, for building
and equipment, Smyrna will have
a school plant which will have
cost in the neighborhood Of $780,
000.- Tuesday, October II, will
mark the close of the first advis-
ory period, or thirty days of ac-
tual teaching. On Friday, the
twentieth, the report cards for
the benefit of the parents will be
distributed. Parents and guard
ians should take a keen interest in
these reports in order to familiar
ize themselves with the education
al progress being made by the
students. It is only by persistent
application to his school duties
that the average student can hope
to succeed. Now is the time to
lay the foundation for the years
work. If any worrying is to be
done at all, let's do it now and not
wait until next June, when it will
be too During the past
week, the Juniors have made a Sc
lection of the class ring and the
Seniors have ordered their class
pins. In order to economize in
these matters which, incidentally,
mean a great deal to pupils in
high school, it has been suggested
by those in authority that instead
by buying class rings and pins
every year, that standard school
ring of attractive design and
quality be chosen and that the
pins which are purchased during
the Senior year be eliminated
This will not only be economical
but is in line with what is being
done in other first class institu-
tions of learning.-There will be
soccer game on Friday at Smyrna,
with Smyrna team and FELTON,
team.-The girls volleyball team
played at Harrington on last We'd
nesday and lost the game with a
score of 2-1.-The banking results
for Monday 10th. are as follows:
Number of pupils in attendance,

amount deposited, 5000; total
amount deposited to date this
