SMYRNA FIREMEN SEEK FUNDS

that in this way they could get

The monthly business and fell

Class of Asbury M. E. Church was

ed on the platform thirty-four
members Of the Dover High School
Band, under the direction of Jack
Connor- This aggregation of mu-
sicians delighted the group with a
band concert for twenty minutes.
Too much cannot be said in praise
of the work of these young mu-
SicianS and the fine work of the di-
rector. The men were delighted.
Then came an Illuminating address
by Professor Paul Burkeholder of
Georgetown, Superintendent of
Public Instruction for Sussex
County. His theme was THE
Ethics of Christianity" It was a
address and will long be
remembered by all who heart it.
Then followed several selections by
the band and brief addresses by
members of the class with group
singing. Then refreshments were
served. 1t was a most delightful
affair and every member will antic-
ipate the meeting to be held Tues
day night, April 9th. The social
committee of the class planned and
presented the program. The mem
bers are: w. E. Matthews, Jr.,

TRAPPERS CLOSING SEASON
Has Been a Poor Season With
Trappers About Woodland Beach

Local trappers have been MAX
ing up for lost time in muskrat
trapping during the past few days.
In the Woodland Beach, Taylor's
Bridge vicinities it has been a poor
season but up about Delaware City
it has been a more prolific one.
Trappers there were not able to do
much until the marshes became
free of all ice. The rats were
fat and in excellent condition.
Large quantities of the meat was
sold for food. The season closed
on the tidewater marshes on Sat
urday, March 9. The season will
close on the embarked marshes on
Wednesday, March 20. There is a
bill now before the General Assem-
bly, to prolong the season for the
rest of the month but it will hardly
be passed and approved in time to
do much good this season. Some
of our trappers think a closed sea
son would help greatly in bringing
back the season to normal.

STATE POLICE
TO CHECK SPEED
Reckless Driving, Passing Red
and Stop Signs To Be
Stopped
DRIVE ON FOR SAFETY

Secretary of State Smith, who is
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles
and strong for highway safety, is
determined to make the highways
safer for all drivers this year and
in accordance with other Eastern
States is making a drive through
the State Police and Motor Vehicle
inspectors to watch carefully the
reckless driving that often occurs
on the roads and the total disre-
gard of some of the simple rules
for stopping at red lights and at
stop" signs. Although out of
state drivers as well as Delaware
licensed motorists will probably be
caught in the drive that is being
planned, there will be none but
themselves to blame for disregard
ing the plain rules of safety while
using the roads. The speed limit
allowed on Delaware highways is
certainly fast enough for any driv-
er and excessive driving will be
dealt with strictly according to
law. Just because the road is
open and the highway has been
well built is no excuse for the en-
dangering of the lives of others
who wish to travel the same road.
The drive for safety begins this
week.

lighted the audience. Mrs. Boyer
presented her subject from the side
of humanity, the inspired word of
God in the redemption of man
kind, and how it has been a bull
wark, a refuge, a comfort to count
less millions of people. The Bible
is indestructible, it fits all cases,
we live under the laws of Moses;
the story of Ruth was recommend
ed as tonic after a surfeit of the
modern novel; the devotion and
courage of Esther was held up for
example, and Jobs trial and tri-
umphant faith in the face of diff
ficulties has been an inspiration
through the ages, etc, etc. The
music was appropriate and consist
ed of two numbers by a trio COM
posed of Miss Mary Hynson, Mrs.
