Joan Bennett, 20, and Gene Mar

HOLLYwoOD-The recent mar
rage of William Powell to a for
mer girl friend OF Mickey Rooney.
and the subsequent nuptials Of
Joan Bennett and Walter wanger
suggest a survey of some other
May-December matings in Holly
wood to see how they've worked
out.
With all the oddly-assorted ex-
amples, the only fair conclusion is
that ages in marriage don't count
any more than on the screen,
where 16-year-old actresses may
be cast opposite creaky-j ointed
gents wearing toupees.
True, when Powell and Carole
Lombard were divorced in 1888,
she attributed their troubles to diff
ference in age. But Miss Lombard,
now 80. can scarcely consider her
present husband, Clark G a b e,
sophomore at 80.
The new Mrs. William Powell,
Dianna Lewis, is rs. while her
husband is Al. In the divorce ac-
ton brought against him by his
first wife in 1880. he was accused
of having berated her for the inn
maturity of her mind. The. fact
that Miss Lewis was attracted to
Mickey Rooney when he was IL
may be interpreted only as trio-
ute to the intellectually Of the
understood boy-star.

KENT AGENT WILSON

cultural conservation program

mers. $205.2i4.00 have been paid
IN benefit payments 70 farmers for

757.00 in wheat price adjustment
payments have been issued In con-
necti0n with the wheat acreage re-
ductl1n and allotment program for
1889.
That wheat growers in Kent cOun-
" are taking more interest in crop
insurance offered by the Federal
Crop Insurance Corporation is indi-
Gated by the increase in the NUM-
Der Of policies issued In this county
in 1889 as compared TO the previous
year. There were 274 applications
issued on 233 farms for 1870 wheat
crop insurance with premiums
70 $3,04S.00, while the
1888 program included only % appli-
cations representing 81 farms.

He later commented that "the court
las thrown out the Democratic
board; IL now passes out of the pic
ture.' He agreed 10 turn over to his
successor all the papers of the Of
flee.
At the meeting of the department
board were: Mr.. dupont, G. ID. ABB
bOtt, Ralph w. Emerson, and Donald
p. Ross, Republicans. and J. Gordon
Smith, Democrat. Charles w. Cullen,
who was president of the old group,
and a. Frank Fader, Democrats, did
not attend. Governor Richard G.
McMullen is eliminated as an ex-Of-
iiciO member.
Boards COOpeTatcd
While the court action was pend
ing, the two boards cOOperated un-
der an amicable agreement so that
the highway system would not suf-
fer and the State would lose no fed
eral-aid funds.
One of the detectives Of the new
board will be to further perfect
the system of the motor vehicle de-
partment This will require a full
time commissioner the next several
months to investigate equipment and
systems in other states, il was said.
Held Legislative Body
The Democratic opponents Of the
new law disputed the laws cOnsti-
in quo warranto proceed
ings. The court held on one point
raised by the petitioners that the
highway department is a legislative
rather than an executive instrumen-
tality and consequently in the regu-
latiOn of the department the court
saw no constitutional invasion of the
prerOgatiYe.
The petitioners had also invoked
a constitutional amendment in their
that the law required a
twO-thirds vote of the Legislature.
The court held: I'VE see no evidence
whatever that the constitutional
was intended to or could
operate as limitation on the power
of the Legislature to pass general
laws with reference TO roads or high |
ways"
ITO u.s." it continued, "it would /
seem a strained and illogical con-
of the amendment TO make !
II to so operate that the Legislature,
I5y a majority vote, could pass gen.
nral laws affecting non-cOntinuOus
roads in all three counties Of the
State. but that any road that was |
intended to run continuously through |
two counties and into the third
would require a vote of two |
thirds of all the members elected
10 each house or assembly. We know
Of no rule of construction which |
would require such a conclusion"
Milford chronicle., 1940-01-05
Ralin2 "a Del,l TsNue

Another contention Of the Demo-
Gratis was that the act required a
three-fOurths vote under q consti-
tntiona provision on creating debts
IN behalf Of the State. The court,
pointing out that the act amends
three sections OF the law, said that
none Of the amendments concerns
the issuance OF bonds or the erea-
tiOn Of debt
The opiinon held thal, where a
statute consists OF seVerable parts
aud a portion would not have re-
qulred for its original amendment
more than a majority vote, Eve see
no reason why this part OF the
statute may not be amended by that
same vote which wOuldhaye been
sufficient for its original enactment
had IL been In fact severed from the
part requiring greater vote; both
reason and authority sustain this
view.
Denying that the title of the act
was insufficient, the court said: I'VE
think that a title Of an act prOyid
ing Tor the reorganization of the
State Highway Department gives to
both Legislators and citizens in gem
eral full knowledge and warning
that the organization and affairs Of
the department may be the subject
Of change and invites the inquiry Of
all persons interested"
After holding that the department
is legislative rather than an exec
utive instrumentallty, the court OBJ
served: with the wisdom of the
action we have nothing to do
The court also ruled: "Thc duties
Of the Motor Vehicle Department,
are IN no way dissOciated from the
roads and highways of the State; its
jurisdiction begins and ends in con-
nection with the highways and the
regulation of traffic thereon, and no
jurisdiction otherwise exists"
