GLENDALE HAPPENINGS
DOingS Al Dn,cr

while others have but very little
worth whatever and should not take
the time of tie members of both
branches Of the Legislature which
should be spent in discussing and
passing of the more important ills.
The Governors messJSC relating
TO retrenchment should BE- carefully
needed; as we hear that some of the
State Departments have been spcn-
ding money with a lavish hand. IT
true, il should be checked and tn ,
department or departments as the
case may he, placed on more eco
nOmicaI basis
A bill was introduced by Repre-
sentative Hewks of Wilmington 10
amend the "Ilue laws" They viii, if
passed, ALLOW the incorporated cities
and towns to- license the moving
pictures houses and theatres to be
opened lfter one O'Clock Sunday at
tcrnoon..
This is bill which should be
killed. There is enough devilry 90
ing on in the world today without
passing a bill of this kind.
When will people learn to re-
spect the Sabbath?
Representative Green has intro
duced bill in the House which
will give preference when hiring
teachers to those who have resided
in the State one year
This is a good bill and should ne
passed. II seems to the writer that
as many graduates as we now have |
from Delaware University or Wa
mems College, Newark, many of
whom have taken a teacher train +
ing course should Lave the prefer
ence over teachers coming from
other states.
A joint resolution apprOpriating
$4,000 for the Legislature to see the
inauguration of President-elect
Roosevelt is too much money to
waste on such a trip. When times
are good and money plentiful an
appropriation of a sum sufficient to
pay their way might do. but at this
time when there are so many peO-
pie needing food raiment and fuel,
il seems almost crime to waste
such a sum.

4 New Road Needed
The people living along the con-
templated route of a new cement
road leading by the way of Red
Mems cemetery, property owned by I
d. II. Reed, John Watson, John W.
West, Dias Spicer, r. ]. Clendaniel, (
Harvey Wilson, Evans Morgan, John ]
Lindale, David Millman and other
progressive farmers, and on to Ar
gO's store. are wondering why it is |
they cannot have an improved road |
as well as others.
A road built through the section /
enumerated above would bring a lot \
of farmers who are now deprived OF \
the nearby markets and truck facil- l
ities to the city markets by the bad \
roads in winter, would he aided by \
building a new improved road to
avoid these troubles in the future. ! I
The people need work and by ]
building this road at the present I
time, would give men steady work, i
who are now receiving dole from
the State II would do more by caus-
ing the unemployed to earn their d
daily bread by the sweat of their s
brows. which would be much more a
satisfying to honest men. who wish il
to give something back for what Il
they receive. Ii
The section through which the
new road would run, the property "
would soon increase in value; so Il
that the State would lose nothing as n
the increase i'm taxes would soon Fl
pay for the road and would also 81
bring into more prominent notice a ci
beautiful section of Sussex county. q;
