DUAL HIGHWAY, SMYRNA

With the fine dual highway
with it's plots for flowers and
shrubbery laid out thru Smyr-
ma, it is distinct improve
ment to our town and one that
citizens are admiring with
consumate pleasure. Now if
Smyrna Town Council will fall
in line and have a curb to curb
street surface on Commerce
Street from East Street and
joined up smoothly with the
Boulevard, and follow this up
by laying macadam on East
Street from North to South
Streets it will give Smyrna
fine approaches for Boulevard
traffic to get in and out of
Smyrna, better advertising
the town and incidentally an
aid to our merchants. The
State Highway Department is
doing a fine piece of work and
it's up to Smyrna to join up
with this improvement in a
proper manner.

A GOOD TIME AT HOME

Yes, you can have a good
time at home. Millions Of
people are spending a lot Of
money in roaming around the
country. Up to a certain
point, travel is useful, if peo-
pie can afford it. But many
Of them roam around just be
cause they are not having a
good time at home. They
think if they went off to some
public resort, they would have
more excitement and pleasure.
Anyone who has 4 social ma
ture or enjoys activity can
have just as good a time in
Delaware and on the Delmar-
va Peninsula as he can any
where else, and he does not
have to 60 away to have that
good time. If he enjoys
games at the summer resort,
why does he not start playing
bridge with his neighbors, or
play lawn tennis and other
outdoor games with them?
All these and other diversions
that make life pleasant at
resorts, can be enjoy
ed in your home town.

MOVING FACTORIES OUT

President Roosevelt intends
to call a conference of leading
manufacturers in the near fu-
ture, to consider plans for the
transfer of many factory
plants from crowded city
areas to suburban and coun-
try towns.
1t seems unnatural that
vast masses of people should
be concentrated in a few great
cities, living under congested
conditions, when there is un-
limited space in the whole
country. Take New York
City. for instance. In the 800
square miles of that great
population live, 100000 peo-
pie are trying to live, which is
nearly six per cent Of all the
population Of our great coun-
try.
Why is it necessary for
such masses Of people to
crowd together? High prices
must be paid for land, for
homes and stores, which add
to living costs. The majority
of these people must live a
long way from their daily
labors. Many Of them spend
two to three hours a day Just
coming to and going from
their work, which takes a big
slice out Of their time, and the
transportation costs money.
Millions Of these people live
in too crowded homes, and
many Of the poorer folks can't
afford sanitary and heaIthfuI
accommodations. 1t would be
a godsend to such ones, if a
million or two in various cities
could be moved out into small
er places.
1t is Of course a tremendous
proposition to accomplish
such changes, and such things
have to be done very gradual
ly. Many people would rather
live in a crowded metropolitan
street and congested tene-
ment, than in a healthful
small city or town.
If steady work can be offer
ed in smaller communities, a
drift out of the great metrop-
olitan centers will be encour-
aged. When a family ex-
changes its precautions foot
hold in some great city slum,
for a home which it owns with
grass, flowers, and trees
around it, a time of new hope
has dawned.-Milford Chron-
icle.

Opponents Of the Long machine also
have scored in several selections.
Gov. Allen. whose subservience to
Senator Long surpassed even that OF
majority OF the Legislature during
the session which closed 10 days ago,
has begun to feel repercussions.
DR.. Irvine Ward-Steinman, repre-
senting the Louisiana milk industry
through the Statewide Mix Com
mittee of which he is secretary,
charged that Gov. Allen double
crossed the milk producers when he
vetoed bill which would have set
up State milk control board.
In an open letter addressed to Gov.
Allen the milk industry representa-
tive asserted that the Chief Exec
utive had agreed to sign the MIX
Control Board bill ON condition that
the milk interests deliver just one
vote for the income tax bill" The
spokesman for the dairymen said that
two such votes were delivered" TO
make possible the passage OF the
income tax bill.
At the opening Of the legislative
session Gov. Allen pronounced him
self u champion Of honesty in cleo

session he vetoed bill sponsored by
District Attorney Eugene Stanley OF
New Orleans which would have
placed a penal clause in the States

in the penal clause of the existing
election law is corrected, attorneys
agree, it will be impossible to penalize
primary election thieves. The bill
making this correction was passed
unanimously by both houses of the
Legislature before it received the
Governors veto.
Gov. Allen vetoed also bill which
would have prohibited the soliciting
OF campaign funds from employees Of

divisions.
