What Can We Do To Preserve
Democracy?

Today, with the governments of
two of the worlds greatest democ-
racies assuming dictatorial powers
while waging war on the world S
No. 1 dictator, Hitler, Americas
great problem is to preserve de-
mocracy. Everybody is thinking
and wondering how this can best
be done.
Undoubtedly the greatest dang
er to democracy is war. In mod
ern warfare any democracy must
become a dictatorship-at least
temporarily. During the last World
War President Wilson was given
dictatorial powers, but because he
was strongly against centralized
powers, he gave them up at the
end of the war There is always
the danger that they won't be CIV
en- up. Our job, therefore, is to
stay out of war if we are to pre-
serve our democracy.
To stay out of war think we
should keep our present neutrality
law which was made before war
had started. At that time it was

scored by Harold Hopkins-the
chief gamer for the Sophs with the
brilliant blocking of Shuman, Low
er, and Francis.
The Freshmen just couldn't stop
the fast Hoppy. The Sophomore
team, also, was just stronger in all
ways. They had a better line of
fensive and defensive. Lower
Hoppy, Shuman, and Gooding also
were much faster than the Fresh
men backfield.
You will have to give the Fresh
men team a lot of credit for hold
ing the score as low as they did.
The officials were:
Referee, Coach Records
Head Linesman, Wa-Wa Ed
mondson.
Umpire, Juice Welch.
Timekeeper, Lee Slaughter.
1t was a fine game. The next
game is between the 10th and 11th
grade boys and may the best team

MEXICO AND CUBA RESTRICT
ROADSIDE ADVERTISING

Both Mexico and Cuba are fol-
lowing the lead of the United Stat
es in providing legislative protec-
tion against commercial encroach-
ments on road beauty, according to
reports received today by the Del
aware Motor Club from AA.A.
headquarters in Washington, D. C..
I'm Mexico" the local motor club
was advised, emergency orders
have been issued restricting COM
mercialization of the roadside, while
the Mexican Congress considers a
bill which will provide permanent
protection for roadside beauty. At
the present time the Pan-American
Highway from Laredo, Texas, to
Mexico City has the distinction of
being almost entirely free of bill
Smyrna times., 1939-10-19

boards and other advertising signs.
In its program Of tourist promo
tion, the Mexican government is
planning to keep the highway free
from the epidemic of signs and I'M
slightly structures.
"In Cuba, at the suggestion of
the Cuban National Tourist Corpo-
ration, far-reaching decree has
been enacted, which has the dual
purpose of removing unsightly ad-
vertising from places of beauty and
of making highways safer by free
ing curves and intersections from
obstructing signs. Under the de-
cree it is unlawful to place com
mercial signs or billboards in his
torical places, on monuments, and
in places of tourist interest. In
addition to causing the removal of
signs not in conformity with the
decree, the measure requires that
a special permit must be obtained
for erection of all future signs.
In the U. S. many state legis-
latures this year considered special
roadside protection laws, number
of which were modelled along the
lines of the AA.A.'s Suggested I'm
form Act for Roadside Develop
ment and Control. This act is de-
signed to eliminate unsightly struc-
lures along the roadside, to prevent
further commercial encroachment
in the future, and to regulate the
appearance and sanitary condition
of all roadside catering establish
ments.
1T is expected that laws of this
nature will find widespread adop-
tion in the years ahead"
Smyrna times., 1939-10-19
Music? or No Music?

In the past years (at the Hol-
lowe'en parties) the music has
been furnished by Mr.. Benny Good
mans Victrola and swing records.
The records are the same ones that
were used in the fall of '37, when
Social Hour was born. It's still
music, but it's rather rusty. Why
not have an orchestra this year ?
For a small amount of money we
can. If the G.. o. can't afford one,
we can have one any way if the
students want one.
The students who want an or
chestra will be willing to bring con-
tributions so that they can hear
and dance to good music and not
to something old and forgotten.
Think it over for times awast-
in" The party's the last of Octo-
Der. All donations will be received
by the following Seniors: Pete
Stats. Juniors: Charlotte Ever
EFT and Bob Bell. Sophomores:

Be On Your Toes!

Today it is most important for
those who wish to get ahead to be
on their toes. In other words, the
ones who will succeed tomorrow
are the ones who are alert today
Several years ago it was not so
important as it is now for students
to do their best. 1t hasn't been so
long ago that the employer alone
was a college graduate. However,
with the rapidly growing desire for
education a large part of that has
changed
In most cases the employer in
big business today is college
graduate. But he is not alone His
employees, as well as himself,
probably have degrees. At least
they have a high school diploma.
Therefore, if practically every
one in the field you wish to enter
is going to be well prepared, it is
most necessary that you are out
standing. There are SO many who
are ready to do the work that en-
ployment agencies may secure hun
dreds suitable for the same posi-
ton; but if you are particularly
well prepared; if you are far
above the average, naturally your
chance of being placed in that po-
sition is much greater.
The modern world moves swiftly
and those who desire success must
be able to move swiftly with it.
However, swiftness alone is not
sufficient. It must be accompan-
led by efficiency and reliability
With this in mind be on your
toes and get all the education you
can, for as someone once said, "Op-
portunity knocks but once"

They're Off To Dover

Practice and more practice
That's what makes a team and
that's what is going to make the
girls hockey team of ]. B. NJ
On Wednesday, October IL, the
girls who come out for the hockey
practice went to Dover immediate
ly after school. The purpose of
this trip was to watch the Dover
girls and get some pointers "as
well as to play a practice game
with Dover"
They're off, and they're off to a
good start with Coach Records and
Miss Kaufman. We hope that
the next time we 60 to Dover it
won't be for practice. but for vic
tory.

"A Weinie Roast"

Friday night, October 6, a group
of young people from Smyrna,
Clayton and Millington went on a
weinie roast at Massey's Kenton
Mill Pond. The most colorful car
in the group was Lee Slaughter's
1T Model" with Wooleyhan's "28
Chevy" running a close second.
When we arrived, a fire was
built by 'fMilkman" Stats and the
crowd began settling down to
toasting marshmallows and frank
furters 90 By this time "Spec
Ennis, ''Hamie Hamilton" and
Chip BelP' made their political
entrance by passing out cigars to
Bill Melvin, Harold Hopkins and
other members of the smoke ring
Others among the crowd were
Bill Bramble, Janet Keith, Jean
Phillips, ''Weezy" Mabrey, Al Rob

Mary Graham, ''Huffy" HUFF

yard, and Emma Pierce.
About ten o'clock Mr.. Brown
came out and the group began
singing "old favorites" and "popu-
lars" until we decided to go home.
BY the way, the food was all gone
when Mr.. Brown got there and did
he feel gyped? Who wouldn't?

AS you enter the senior home
room and look at the bulletin board
you probably wonder what all the
triangular drawings represent. To
save you the trouble of finding out,
I will tell you briefly what they
are. These drawings are designs
for the pennant of the Class Of 40.
we want to choose one of these
designs as soon as possible SO that

HObbs-Gonce Wedding

Miss Virginia F. Hobbs, daugh-

Gonce, son of Mr.. William Gonce,
of near Blackbird, were united in
marriage on Thursday evening, by
Rev. L. B. Morgan. The cere-
mony was performed in the M. E.
Parsonage at $50 o'clock. They
were attended by the sister of the
groom, Mrs. George Burris, and
Mr.. Burris, of Blackbird. On Mon
day evening the newlyweds were
serenaded at the home Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Burris, and about so guests
were present. Mr.. and Mrs. Gonce
will reside in Middletown.

made to best keep the United
States out of war. Any changes
now made are liable to be biased by
our sympathy with Egland, France
and their allies.
Aside from the war 1 think an
other danger to democracy is the
granting of too many powers to
the President or other branches of
the government. Each of the three
branches of our government was
meant to be check and balance on
the other two. The President
shouldn't be given too much power
or any power over the Supreme
Court or Congress. This should be
needed whether we get into the
war or not.
Another way to preserve our de-
mocracy is to teach the young peo-
pie in American schools the value
of freedom and liberty as exper-
fenced in these United States.
Make them aware of the evils of
relationships and the disadvant-
ages and unpleasantnnesss of "fol-
lowing the leader" If this is done
they will be immune to the foreign
"isms" at work in America today.
In my opinion, preserving de-
mocracy in the United States
means staying out of war, guard
ing against giving too many pow
ers to any one branch of the gov
ernment and the education of
young America against foreign
"isms."

Leave 1t To the Junior Class.

Hamlet, that difficult tragedy
that's what the Junior Glass is
struggling with; and struggling
with it we are. Until one day an
idea hit us like a thunderbolt-wh
not modernize the play; make a
comedy out of it instead of a
tragedy? And SO we did Now
we are scheduled to present it in
assembly.
On Tuesday, October 3, we gave
a successful preview of the coming
event. Two weeks from then, Oc-
tober IL, the class will present the
conclusion of Hamlet.
All the characters in the play
are of vital Importance, but the
main ones are:
''The King" ,....... Ned Wilson
''The Queen" .... Edna Ennis
"Ophelia" ........ Dorothy Badur
"Laertes'6' ...... Bobby Deakyne
''Polonius" ....... Alan Robinson
Under the splendid direction of
Charlotte Everett, the play is sure
to be a great success.
The main players have been pick
ed from the eleven-one English
class, although few minor char
acters Were chosen from other
classes.
I wish to take this time and
space to thank them on behalf of
eleven-one English class for their
kind cooperation even though they
are not members of eleven-one
