BILL TO ELECT
SCHOOL BOARD
Is Vetoed By Governor Buck
Who FavOrs Further Trial
of Present System
STILL TO BE APPOINTED

Expressing his unwillingness to
change without further trial the
law providing for the appointment
Of members of Boards of Educa-
tion and Boards of School Trustees,
Governor c. Douglass Buck Mon
day afternoon vetoed a bill passed
by the General Assembly specify
ing that such school officials be
elected. He returned it to the
House, where it had originated,
with a letter setting forth his rea-
sons for this action. He also veto
ed and returned to the House an
other bill that had been passed by
the Legislature creating a new
election district in the Tenth Rep
resentative District of Kent coun-
ty. His reasons for this were that
the change would be an inconven-
ience to the residents of the dis
trict in view of the approaching
special election in June on the wet
and dry question. This is the first
time during the present session
that Governor Buck has vetoed a
bill. There is before the Senate,
which is likely to pass, another
bill creating an additional election
district in the second of the first of
Kent County. There is now one
voting district in the Town Hall at
Smyrna. The bill provides for an
extra voting place, this to be at
Reese's Garage, Clayton There
seems no real need of this addition
al expense on the county and it re-
mains to be seen if Governor Buck
will approve it. Since the above
was written, the House Monday
overrode the veto % to s, by a
stract partisan vote. The Senate
upon canvas, appears one majority
to sustain the Governor.

DRUGGISTS LIQUOR SALES
Necessary Law Has Not Been Pass

Necessary Law Has Not Been Pass
ed by Legislature Tho Tax is Paid
Thirty druggists who have in
vested money in the special FEEDER
al tax stamps, at the rate of S25
per year for-the dispensing of med
icinal liquor, are afraid of losing
money, due to the failure of the at
torney general of Legislature to
specify just whether they can sell
the liquor or not Twenty-Five of
the druggists, it was said at the
Office of the Internal Revenue De
partment at Wilmington, are locat-
ed in Wilmington and five of them
are in other parts of the State.
Presumably most of these drug
gists have invested further in med
icinal liquor which they are not at
present able to sell. In addition,
hundreds of persons have been ap-
plying at the Office Of the Internal
Revenue Department regarding the
special stamps for brewers, whole
salers and retailers of beer. The
tax is $1,000 for brewers, $50 for
wholesalers and $40 for retailers.

COURT MEETS NEXT WEEK: KENT
COUNTY WITHOUT GRAND JURY

AS the result of the adoption of
an amendment to the State Con-
stitution changing the number of
grand juries it was discovered yes
terday that the three counties are
without such juries at the present
time and that legislation will have
to be speeded through the General
Assembly at once to provide for
their selection. The amendment
was passed two years ago and also
by the present session and became
a law at once. 1t oblished the old
system of selecting "a members of
the grand jury in each of the three
counties but nothing has been done
to provide a way to carry the
amendment into effect. AS con-
sequence no grand juries exist and
here in Kent county the April term
Smyrna times., 1933-03-29

of court will convene next week
and there is no jury to consider
bills for presentation to the court
The House adopted a resolution of
fered by Representative Jackson to
modify the resolution fixing Febru-
ary 81 as the last day for the ad-
mission of new business so that a
bill may be introduced to carry in
to effect the constitutional amend
ment changing the jury system.
Under the new law the jury in
New Castle County will consist of
Is members and in Kent and Sus-
sex counties of 10 members each.
Until a bill to make the new sys-
tenn operative is passed by the
General Assembly no grand juries
can be called in any of the three
counties.

WHITE ROSE MINSTRELS
Given Last Night at Como Theatre
Before An Appreciative Audience

The white Rose Minstrels" pre-
sented the first performance Of a
two-night entertainment at the
Como Theatre last night with a
house nearly crowded to its capac-
ity. This evening an even larger
crowd is anticipated. The curtain
rose on an attractive setting in
which the invited guests and enter
tainers formed a circle with the or
chestra on a raised platform in the
rear. "A. l.. Leader was the inter
locutor and introduced the numbers
on the program. The end men
were composed of two old stagers,
one was John G. Mannering, an
old favorite, who belonged TO the
original White Rose Minstrels and
James H. Lassell, the next oldest in
service. These two were assisted
by James Patterson and w Henry
Ennis. These black-face comedians
got off some wise cracks and kept
the audience entertained with their
song specialties. The singing of
the quartette, composed of Linden
Doughten. Edward Everhart, Will
liam Doughten and A. L. Leader,
was applauded at every appear
ance, Mr.. Leader with mis- fine bass
voice adding strength to all the
numbers. The bass solo of Mr.
Leader was a real treat. Applause
greeted every appearance of the

quartette of singers. Bill McAfee
