Unfair Criticism

Since the arrest of the Blue
Law violators here last Sun
day, some adverse criticism
has been offered concerning
the participation of the local
police in the affair. AS I'M
pleasant as the task may have
been for the members of our
police force, they were obliged
to carry out orders from the
States Attorney General by
cooperating with state police
in arresting all offenders. En-
forcing the law is their duty,
the job for which they are
paid. 1t does not seem fair
and just to blame them for
carrying out their orders.

Quick, Efficient Service

A quick and efficient service
was rendered by the Street
Cleaning Department last
week when they cleared the
streets for normal traffic.
There has been considerable
mention of the speed with
which the cutters were clear
ed, so that cars could pull up
to the curbstone, and not be
forced to park in the middle of
the street, as has heretofore
been the case. 1t is the opin-
ion of many that never before
have the streets here been in
such good condition after such
a heavy snowfall.

A Cultural Opportunity

The people of Smyrna will
be given the opportunity
again this week of taking
memberships in the Dover
Cooperative Concert Associa-
ton. Not only does the hold
er of a season ticket enjoy
three concerts of the highest
type for three dollars but his
membership also insures the
possibility of an advantage to
many children in having the
concerts brought in reach Of
those who would otherwise
miss having this door to music
opened for them. The cultur-
al effect is not easily measur-
ed. In 1888 the membership
in the Smyrna area was SO,
for the next two years it drop
ped to 80 and it is the goal Of
the committee this year to
reach a membership of so.
The chairman, Mrs. C. Leland
Harmonson asks the cooper
alton of all in this venture.
Even tho a purchaser sees
only one Of the concerts in the
series full value will have been
received and the entire series
brings rich returns. The lev
ell of the talent which will be
heard during the coming sea-
son will be raised in proper
ton to the number of sub
scribers, which gives weight
and meaning to the purchase
of each ticket. Not only does
the holder benefit himself by
subscribing the gesture is also
a philanthropic one. All low
ers of music and the arts in
Smyrna are asked to help by

This Farm Goes to Dogs
And Becomes Real Town

DELLVIEW, N. C.-Stray dogs
with a taste for chicken are respon-
sible for this Incorporated town
perhaps the smallest in the United
States.
In 1925 the three Dellinger broth
ers, operating a large chicken farm,
were bothered by dogs. The dogs,
because Of lack Of enforcement of
county laws. played havoc with the
fowls.
Davis P. Dellinger, another broth
er and lawyer in nearby Cherry
vile and a part owner of the farm,
came to the rescue.
He conceived and carried out the
idea of Incorporating the farm as a
town by legislative enactment. Town
ordinances against dogs running at
large were passed and the farming
Dellingers were made town officers,
armed with shot-guns.

Dogs and
Conservation

In the February 18th issue of the
Saturday Evening Post, Verne Bell
again came through with one of his
dog masterpieces, in"Prairie Dogs"
Every word and sentence of this
newsy article thrilled me to the
marrow, inasmuch as am proud to
say that have a speaking ac-
quaintance with each dog and per
son mentioned in the article with
the exception of the Canadian.
Most of the handlers and dogs
mentioned participated in the Del
aware Setter and Pointer Club
spring trials of 1910, which were
run at Glasgow, and M G. Dudley,
the owner of 'tHillbright Susanna"
for which he paid $500, served
as one Of the judges of Delaware's
spring trial, which was his first
big league assignment, and he is
coming back to judge the English
Setter Club Trials. So Delaware
adds another leading judge to its
long list of discoveries made since
its first trials held in 1909 Most
of the dogs, and trainers Farrior
and Crangle, will be at Delaware
this spring on the dates of March
22nd and 23rd, the days on which
the professional stakes will be run.
Prairie Dogs" will put field trials
in an entirely different light in the
minds of many dog-minded people
throughout the nation, and the fine
thing about it is that it is real and
legitimate. Verne Bell knows field
dogs and field trial men and here
he painted an extremely vivid pic
ture of both.
AT the Garden Show in New
York, recently, I talked with many
leaders in conservation and | asked
each one the same question and
from each I received identical
answers. The question was What
or Who is doing the most good for
conservation in your section or
state 2" Each one answered, THE
many conservation clubs through
out my state and community are
doing good work for conservation
and it is being felt in no small
way" Each one went on to say
that the schools, Field Trial Clubs,
Rod and Gun Clubs, Isaac Walton
Leagues, and Fish and Game Pro-
tective Associations were doing
yooman's work in their states. ]

tell them what our state was doing
in this respect. We have the or

SERVE.
i Fishermen join the Isaac Wal
ton League" The dues are small
and the return is great. With a
united front this great organiza

erman's Paradise. Every person
interested primely in conservation
should be member of one of the
Fish and Game Protective Associ-
atoms, and every man who owns q
bird dog should be member of the
Delaware Setter and Pointer Club
regardless of whether or not they
are interested in field trials, be-

HEATING HINTS

ONE way to cut the cost of heat
~ ing your home is to avoid
"Ashpit Waste. By that | mean
ne amount of coal shaken through
the CRATE before it has been COM
pletely burned. Here are few
precautions which will help you to
cut down this waste:
l. Burn coal of the proper size.
Every heater is designed to burn
a particular size. Your dealer can
helm you decide this.
2 Shake the CRATES gently
ard only when necessary to make
room for fresh fuel.
3. Keep the ashpit clean and
clear of ashes. This is most i'm
portant because the ashpit
serves as a chamber from which
air is supplied to the fire. With
out an ample supply of air, COM
plete combustion of the coal is
impossible.
a. Use a high quality Pennsyl-
vania hard coal. (19)

Smyrna Business Association
Smyrna, Delaware
Gentlemen:
In keeping with my policy of not
associating myself with any parti-
san or political organizations, I
must submit my resignation as a
member of the Smyrna Business
Association.
In the recent Town Election the
president of the Smyrna Business
Association openly solicited votes
in such a manner that Association
members and the public were led
to believe that the Association was
interested in the defeat of certain
candidates. I openly protest
against such partisan policy in
the name of the Association. A
local business association should be
a unifying force rather than a
source of constant strife and dis
sension, which it has become.
A committee was appointed to
represent the Association in vel
coming the new mayor to his of
fee. 1 refused to serve on this
committee. 1 shall personally con-
graduate our new mayor on his Of
flee. 1 highly respect him as an
individual and am confident that he
will give us an honest and efficient
administration. However, in view
of the closely contended election
and the circumstances surrounding
it, I felt that such a welcoming
committee would even further &C
centuate what appeared to be the
partisan policy of the Association.
In spite of my refusal to serve on
the committee, the president Of the
Association ignored my protest and
published my name as a member
of the committee. I resent such
action.
I regret that I must take this
course, but I see no alternative.
Very truly yours,
Alex. Handloff.
