posing the use of Market Street
Plaza were discussed. The Busi-
ness Association feels that since
the Mardi Gras is their affair,
the crowds should be kept in the
central business section of the
town, reported the committee. and
also that they felt that the Plaza
would be too open and cold for
night dancing. Members of the
Citizens Hose Company present
stated that the Firemen's Conven-
ton dance, held recently on the
Plaza, was not the success hoped
for, and that Main Street, which
they had asked for and been re-
fused by Council, would have suit
ed the purpose better. Unless
Council will change their decision
about the use of Main Street, we
feel that the money, time and eff
fort necessary for such a celebra-
ton, would be wasted" stated a
representative of the committee.
Money solicited for ads on the
posters is being returned, it was
announced.

Ellery ]. Ward, on School
Faculty, Tells of Need for
Improved Facilities
URGES MORE ACTIVITIES

Ellery ]. Ward, teacher of social
studies in the John Bassett Moore
School, told the Smyrna Rotary
Club of the various recreational
programs in the community that
were in progress. He said he was
looking forward to the improve
ment of facilities for the young
people here. Mr.. Ward, who has
been directly responsible for the
organization of playground work
and the teaching Of swimming at
the new municipal beach during
the summer months, stated that
nearly 1900 boys and girls partici-
pated in the program during the
season. The value of such a pro-
gram to these boys and girls was
clearly defined by the speaker. He
urged that the "oldsters" get busy
in developing recreations suitable
for the youth of this community.
Bemoaning the fact that the auto
mobile had deprived many of us Of
the opportunity for getting proper
exercise, Mr.. Ward urged the com
munity to develop more and yet
more activities to meet the needs
Of the boys and girls in this town.
Charles w. Hall responded to the
speaker. Emanuel Barros of the
Dover Club was a visitor.

HALLOWEEN MARDI GRAS PLANS
DISPUTED; MAY BE ABOLISHED

Plans for the Halloween Mardi
Gras celebration on October 30th
have been temporarily cancelled,
according to members of the Mer-
camille Committee of the Smyrna
Business Association, who were
sponsoring the affair. Reasons for
the cancellation, according to COM
mittee members, resulted in the
decision by Town Council to re-
fuse the use of Main Street, be-
tween Mt. Vernon and Commerce,
for use during the street dance.
No reasons for the refusal were
given by members of council who
voted against using Main Street,
said committee members, except
that Market Street Plaza had been
constructed with the intention that
it should be used by the public on
such occasions. At a conference
Tuesday afternoon, the Mercantile

National Youth Administra-
tiOn Announces Radio Re
pair Project; Metal Work
NOT ON RELIEF STATUS

To give unemployed youth use
full experience, the National Youth
Administration announced this
week plans for a radio repair prof.
ect to be set up in Dover or near
by. This would afford boys of
from II to 25 years of age the op-
portunity of working ga hours a
month at 25 cents per hour and at
the same time give them practical
experience in radio work, officials
said Since the National Youth
Administration program does not
operate on a relief status, they ex-
planned, any youth within the age
limits who is out of work and
shows an aptitude for radio work
will be considered eligible. For
young men interested in metal pro
duction work, such as the construc-
tion of metal waste baskets, metal
hospital stands, and other items
used by public institutions, a sim
liar project is considered. The NYA
Office in the Dover courthouse is
accepting the applications of all
young men interested in these and
other fields and is making its as
ssignments in the order that appli-
cations are received.

KEEP RECORDS
Cost Account Project, Start
ing Each Year on Oct. 1, I'm
proves State Program
STATEWIDE SUMMARY

One of the projects in connection
with the poultry improvement pro-
gram in this state, conducted un-
der the direction of the agricultur-
al extension service of the Univer-
sity of Delaware in cooperation
with the Delaware Poultry I'm
provement Association, is the
keeping of cost account records by
a number of poultry raisers in each
county. These cost account rec
ords start each year on October 1,
and letters have been mailed from
the office of County Agent Russell
E. Wilson to all poultrymen in
Kent county calling attention to
this project and requesting that
those poultry raisers who would
like to cooperate in this extension
project during the coming year
contact the county extension Office
in Dover within the next few days.
These record books are furnished
free of charge to all cooperators
with the request that these poultry
raisers keep a complete account of
all receipts and expenditures for a
period of one year. At the end of
each month a record blank will be
sent to each cooperator for the
purpose of tabulating the number
of hens, pullets, and chicks, the
quantity of eggs produced, also the
receipts from the sale of poultry
and eggs, and the expenses involv-
ed for feed, labor and other items
in connection with the poultry bus
mess during the month. These
monthly reports are to be returned
to the county extension office, and
will be forwarded to the University
will be forwarded to University of
Delaware When a statewide sum-
mary of this cost account project
will be made by Kenneth w. Bak-
er, farm management specialist,
who has been assisting with this
work for the past year. This will
be the third consecutive year in
which this poultry cost account pro-
ject has been included in the exten-
sion program, and several poultry
raisers have been keeping these
records on their fiocks with much
interest in learning those manage
ment factors that influence profit
or loss in raising poultry. AS a re-
suit of these records, many poultry
farmers have changed their system
of feeding or their flock manage
ment practices which have result
ed in the realization of more profit
from their poultry business.
