WPA PROJECTS
IMPROVE TOWN
Smyrna Council Derives Full
Benefit Through Efficient
Use of Federal Grants
$500 ON STATE ROLLS

The recently released report of
State WPA Administrator Benja-
min Abelman mentions Smyrna as
among those communities which
have helped to reduce the problem
of unemployment throughout the
state by taking full advantage of
federal aid offered by the Works
Progress Administration towards
the completion of local projects.
The members of Town Council are
to be congratulated on their lead
ership in providing projects of per
manent value to Smyrna citizens
and in securing the full measure of
worth for the funds secured from
the WPA. Among the improve
ments completed to date by local
men under the direction OF Earl
West are the installation of con-
crete curbing on various streets,
tn identification of Lake Como by
the grading of a section of the
south shoreline, and the provision
for an improved community swim
ming pool and beach. Concrete
work on the streets will be resum-
ed as soon in the Spring as danger
of freezing is over. Totals for the
state as given by Mr.. Abelman
show that through the Works Prof
ects Administration, federal aid in
the reduction of unemployment has
been made use of to the extent of
carrying continuously, since 1885,
an average of $500 persons GER
titled from relief rolls. The make
up of this personnel constantly
changes as some workers relief
rolls are employed The workers
have performed a great number Of
services and have completed a wide
range of permanent improvements
that otherwise would have waited
for some future day In doing so
they have kept up their spirits and
their skill and health, and many of
them have displayed an active and
constructive interest IN community
improvement that speaks well for
their usefulness as citizens.
Through the cooperation of public
agencies and citizens at large,
WPA labor has been turned to
good account in useful improve
ments such as sewers and water
lines, that have opened up suburb
an building areas, and many miles
of ditching in Kent and Sussex
Counties that have changed the
economic picture for many farm
ers. Road construction, sidewalks,
grading and drainage, improve
ments to park land, to towns,

Old Christmas trees would make
an excellent fuel for the bonfire and
their disposition in this manner
would solve the problem of what
to do with dangerously dried out
decorations. The students and
townspeople supporting the team
should be congratulated on their
manifestation of spirit. The slogan,
Beat New Castle, is a good bat
tie cry to usher in what coaches
and players feel will be another en-
tirely successful season. Smyrna
has been meeting increasingly diff
ficult competition in the past few
years with uniformly good success,
and has set a pace matched in vic
tories only by the fighting junior
team, the Smyrna Jay Wees. Best
wishes of the community go with
the Smyrna teams. May they be
victorious again!
