Owners of Cars in Delaware

CHANGE IN NUMBERING

Approximately S675,OOO which in
the past has been spent by Della
wareans during the last two weeks
in December for automobile regis
trations will be available this year
for Christmas shopping. An offic-
ial of the Motor Vehicle Depart
ment stated that the 1889 motor
vehicle registrations which former
ly had to be obtained by midnight,
December 81, now will not be re
quired until midnight, March 81,
1910. This means the average car
owners will be able to spend about
SIP more on his Christmas pres
ents, if he wishes, and will not have
to raise that amount for his age
until fully three months after the
Christmas season has passed. This
average price of automobile tags
and the fact that more than 56, 900
cars are now registered was used
in compiling the estimate of the to-
tai available for Christmas shop
ping. This was made possible by
the law passed by the Legislature
which changed the date of the
deadline for tags. Other changes
provide for a 16 per cent reduction
in the cost of registration of pleas
ure cars; the extension of the dead
line for operators licenses from
midnight, February %, to mid
night, March 81; and the reduction
in the cost of operators licenses
from S1.50 to 81.

three months grace as their pres

CHESTER HOUSE, SMYRNA,
RORRED

Charley Smith, of the Chester
House, was robbed on Friday night.
When he woke up on Saturday
morning and proceeded to dress
himself, To- his pants were gone, a
further search revealing them in
the barroom with the pocket rified.
He found also his vest and watch
had disappeared. An investiga-
ton showed that the house had
been entered by a burglar by fore
ing the back door of the kitchen,
and that the thief had gone to the
room occupied by Mr.. Smith by the
aid Of low light that is kept burn
ing all night, and got his watch, a
valuable gold one, and the money
from the purse in his pants about
SIG, and made his escape through
the barroom, but not until he had
also gotten several other articles
of clothing, the overcoat of Mr. Col
Inns the bartender, and a bottle of
Whiskey. Mr.. Smith heard the
noise in the exit, but thought it
was his wife stirring about as the
light was burning, and Immediately
went to sleep again. The watch
had attached to it valuable Ma
sonic charm which cost $40. This
with the chain to which it was fas-
tened was detached and lef behind,
which caused some to remark that
the thief had a wonderful regard
for an emblem because it was such,
since it and the chain were both
solid gold. His name was engrav-
ed on the watch as well as the
charm. Mr.. Smiths loss was ex-
cess of $3.50. There is no clue to
the thief that has been heard Of.
This house is not on the beat of the

NEW US. RULING
HITS CHARTERS
So 1t is Construed By States
Like Ours With Corpora
tiOn Laws
SUED WHERE "FOUND"

The Supreme Court of the Unit
ed States delivered an opinion
recently which may be of far
reaching Importance to corpora
tions chartered in the state of Del
aware. The majority opinion,
written by Justice Felix Frank
furter, held that a corporation may
be sued in a state other than that
in which it is Incorporated. It was
a to decision, with Justice Rob
erts delivering the minority view
point. The case in point was that
of stockholders of United Ship
yards. Inc, against the Bethlehem
Shipbuilding Corporation, Ltd,
which is chartered in Delaware.
Smyrna times., 1939-12-07

The plaintiffs opposed the transfer
of their properties to the Bethle-
hem concern. When the transfer
was made, the stockholders
brought suit against Bethlehem il
the New York Southern District
Federal Court, arguing that the
venue was correct, since the Beth
lehem offices are in New York.
They lost in the District Court
however, and in the Second Circuit
Court before their appeal was tax
en- to the nations highest tribunal.
In delivering the majority opinion.
Justice Frankfurter reversed an old
practice which has been in effect in
the lower Federal courts since
1892. State courts and laws have
also followed this practice This is
that corporations have been re-
garded as citizens and residents of
the state Of their Incorporation. It
was the custom for corporations to
maintain agents in various cities
for the purpose of accepting pro-
cess in civil suits The lower Fed
eral courts asserted in the Beth
lehem case that the plaintiffs did
not bring their suit to the prop
venue where the corporation it
self was chartered.
Justice Frankfurter, however, re-
verted to an opinion of Chief jus
tice Waite in 1875, in which he
held for the court that a corpora
tion may give consent to be sued
where it was found" This was
an earlier judicial Interpretation
which was overlooked or miscon-
strued by subsequent courts. II
going back to Waits opinion, JUS
tice Frankfurter therefore yalidat-
ed a ruling that IS older than the
one which has been in effect up tc
the present time The fact that q
corporation may now be sued
where it is found" or located, OBJ
viates the necessity for bringing
suit in Federal or state courts il
which it is incorporated.

partition that now divides the store
from the parlor is to be torn out
and the two rooms to be thrown

This will involve several other
changes to adapt it to the family

FAREWELL TO REV. DIR. AMI
MRS. WIN. S. ROBINSON

The members of the Society of
Chritian Endeavor, the young
members of the church, to the
number of about thirty, repaired
to the parsonage Monday evening
to have a "sociable" with Rev DR..
William S. Robinson and his excel
lent lady, prompted by the realiza-
tion that in a week or two they
will have departed for a distant
field of labor. There was in it a
further recognition of the fact that
he had organized them in a society,
and had cared for and watched
over them and that they were
about to lose their guide and coun-
selor. The most of the company
met at the house between eight and
nine o'clock, occupying the hours
with the social pastimes incident
to such companies. The cake and
cream which the visitors had car
ried with them was spread on the
tables between half past ten and
eleven o'clock and the pastor and
his wife with other members es-
corted thereto, and pleasant time
spent at the festive board. During
the evening Miss Lizzie Mcdowell,
securing silence. approached the
pastor and in the midst of profound
silence proceeded to read as fol-
lows: THE Young Peoples Society
Of Christian Eudeavor of Asbury
Methodist Episcopal Church desires

which has been aroused in it by the
knowledge that you are about to

gret than is usually expressed in

chosen this mode of free and un-
restrained expression. Our society
is the child of your planting, and
we doubt not has often been lifted
upon your prayers to the throne
of grace. From you came its in

A Thought for Today
Not Involved

The question of toll roads or bridges, as it applies to Connecticut, IS not an involved one and should not be allowed to become so. There is disposition right now to wander away from the real point at issue. We have built fair section ot the Merritt Parkway, our first adventure into this type of road constructions; plans for its financing were taken care ot py previous legislative bodies. We do not see the need now of worrying about the completion of the road, since the funds should be available when needed.
 There is need, though, of determining if the proposed new Housatonlc River bridge, which will link the Merritt Park way with the Wilbur l.. Cross Parkway, is to be of the toll type. We think It should be and that it might well be de- cided upon finally now. If it is not con- sidered feasible to build the entire Wilbur L. Cross Parkway with tolls collected at this point, (then there might be further toll station where the road will cross the Connecticut River. AS yet no plans for carrying this parkway across this rlVer have been announced.
 To be very frank we don't think the actual method collecting tolls is anything to be debated. What the state wants, though, is a good policy with regard to future highway expansion along the park way scale. Modern methods of financing make it possible for the state or the county to bond itself, legal require ments being satisfied. It's the paying off that counts. If funds must be di- verted from the present highway income, then some present services must be sighted or the bond retirement is so slow as to be tremendously expensive. Making the road or bridge pay for itself is good economy today. We think Connecticut should commit itself to the toll theory.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-05-10
Growing Alarm

Quietly but steadily sentiment is form ing in the United States against the plan to Socialize medicine la New Deal. The Wagner National Health Bill now before Congress is being carefully examined from every angle and all is not well with this proposed piece of legislation. In the first place people are beginning to wonder about some of the modernistic decora- tions of the Roosevelt administration. Now we may be in error in terming this National Health Bill part of the Roosevelt scheme of things. He may not have smiled benignly upon it. But if it should blossom and bear fruit the President would be weighted with responsibility of picking this fruit.
 There is much to be discussed before we turn the nation into one gigantic hos pital or health camp. Admittedly no one can find fault with any plan that is designed to bring closer to thousands unable today to afford adequate medical care this attention Therefore the course ureS must know whereof he speaks and must speak very clearly upon the subject. Putting Uncle Sam definitely into the field of medicine and making the entire profession completely dependent upon the government for it's survival doesn't seem the right way of solving social well fare problem.
 There are other ways than having the government assume not merely the re- sponsibility for solving a condition but also assuming complete charge of pro fession whose very existence depends to a great extent on the independence of it's membership. We venture into unknown fields and we set up not only threat of political oblivion for medical services, but very clearly put doctors and surgeons on the public payroll, answerable to the whim of the political leader. State medi- cine is an attractive inducement, but we must look beneath the gloss; we must see what might follow in its wake. That pic ture is not as pretty.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-05-10

this time contained in warning to Americans not to- be dragged into cat and-dog fight from which they will emerge with no new laurels, no fine prin- ciples upheld, etc.
 At least in this nation public opinion seems to be definitely against war, against our participation in it, and against too much meddling in foreign affairs. We can't be positive of public opinion across the Atlantic, for it comes to us after ap- plication of an official yardstick. What Americans are privileged to hear and reac may not always be a true expres- sion of English, French, Italian, German or other national feelings. But there is one thing to which we can give complete accord - worldwide peace and unity.
