REPORT GIVEN
District Conference Report
Presented to Rotary by
President H. C.. Jones
CHILD NEEDS STRESSED

The members of the Smyrna Ro-
tary Club were given a report of
the District Conference which was
held at Camden, N. j., by their
president, Harvey c. Jones. Mr..
Jones stated that the -four servic-
es" were the items largely discuss
ed. Ivan Culbertson of Whining
ton, addressed the conference on
"Club Service" and outlined the
duties of new presidents and secre-
taries. Guy Gundaker urged all to
put their house in order to preserve
the ideals of Rotary. Fred Math-
ews spoke on International Service
and stressed a need for closer re-
lationship between North and
South America. That parents were,
as a whole, too easy on the youth
of today and youth problems was
the thought of Joseph Sleeper, Ed
ucational Executive, who urged
that parents set an example for
their children, so that the man of
tomorrow will be more able to
meet his problems as they are pre-
sented. Chairman of the evening
was William E. Matthews, Jr., and
singing was led by c. w. Hall.
Visitors were Emanuel Barros and
Ivan Finsen of the Dover Club.

LEVY COURT TO
AUCTION FARM
Public Sale of Old County
Farm to Take Place Sat-
urday, August 30th
CONTAINS 305.S ACRES

The Kent County Levy Court has
fixed o'clock, standard time, Sat-
urday, August 80, for public sale of
the old county almshouse property
on the Wyoming -Hazlettville Road.
Plans to sell the property were re-
Gently completed by the court in
accordance with authority given by
an act passed by the last State
Legislature. John C. Walker will
be the auctioneer. The land, which
contains a total of 305.S acres, will
be offered for sale in three parcels
and then as a whole and will be
sold to the best bidder or bidders.
One parcel contains 1858 acres, the
former superintendent house,
which is a two-story frame struc-
ture with improvements, and a
three-story brick house formerly
used as an inmates home with
electricity and water available. The
second parcel contains 1883 acres,
wheat bins, corn cribs, silo, wagon
sheds, small tenant house, larger
tenant house, and other structures.
On the third section of % acres
there are no Improvements. The
federal government has relinquish-
ed its leasehold interest in a por-
tion of the farm, which has been
used for a CCC camp, as of Sep
tember 80 so that the purchaser
will obtain possession of that por-
tion on October 1. The remainder
of the farm is worked under a
lease. The property was abandon
ed as an almshouse after the open
ing of the Old Age Welfare Home
at SMYRNA.

THREE ROADSIDE AWARDS GO TO
LOWER KENT SUSSEX COUNTY

Lower Delaware dominated the
awards this year in the three class
es of competition for well-kept
roadside properties on the DUPONT
Highway, Willard Springer, Jr.,
judge for the annual presentations,
announced Monday night. Winners
were. Best-kept and neatest pri-
vate farmyard and garden-John
H. Wilson, whose home is just be-
yond Westcoat's Corner on the Re-
hoboth Road. Neatest roadside
markell. H. Webb, whose stand
is just south of Bowers Beach
Road. Best-kept gasoline station
KINNEY, who operates a
station north of Milford. To each
of these persons, Mr.. Springer pre-
sented S25 and an American flag,
on behalf of the Active Committee
for Roadside Identification in Del
aware. He inspected all properties
along the DUPONT Highway be-
tween st. Georges and Rehoboth
Beach-to which the competition is
the company of State
Forester w. S. Taber on Saturday.
In addition to the major awards,
Mr.. Springer gave two honorable
mentions" These went to the
Smyrna times., 1941-08-21

Kitchens farm on the Rehoboth
Road, several miles north of the
prize-winning Wilson place in the
farm and garden Identification
competition; and to the Little
Heaven Market at the junction of
the Magnolia and Dover roads and
the DUPONT Highway. This stand
won first place in the roadside mar
ket group in 1910. Mr.. Springer
found the competition increasingly
keen with larger number of prop
critics meriting consideration. The
sole exception was in the service
station class, where he found a
"disappointingly small" number of
stations apparently interested in
the aim of the committee to elm
mate signs as one step to roadside
beauty. Planting of flowers and
vines is being used skillfully in
many places, he added. This is
particularly true in the yard and
garden class, where the judge
found many places of almost equal
merit. Members of the Active
Committee for Roadside Beautifica-
ton are Mrs. Pierre S. DUPONT,
Mrs. Henry B. Thompson, and Mrs.
Irenee DUPONT.

GOV. WV. BACON
PRESENTS PLEA
Requests Delaware Drivers
Use Maximum Speed of 45
Miles Per Hour to Help
SERVICE STATIONS HELP

Gov. Walter w. Bacon has re-
quested all citizens of Delaware
and visitors to reduce their max
imum driving speed to As miles an
hour during the defense gasoline
conservation emergency. The pres
ent speed limit in the State, in
creased by the last session of the
Legislature, is SIS miles per hour.
The Governor stressed that he
wanted it understood that Della
ware was making no attempt to
prevent its people from enjoying
their vacations or depriving them
of weekend trips they have plan
ned. 1--WE request" the Governor
said, that our citizens and visit
ors to Delaware drive at a max
imum speed of As miles per hour
during this emergency. We ask
this in a spirit of cooperation, be-
lieving that there may be some
persons who don OF yet understand
the danger to the national defense
effort that would result from a fuel
shortage. There is no question but
that reduced speed and inspection
and repair of automobile carbure-
tion will conserve gasoline" he de-
clared. ut is our intention in this
request to assist in the conserva-
tion program and at the same time
to delay by the fuel saving that
will result the time when rationing
may be enforced" he said. eve
realize that the next two or three
weeks will see the height of our an
nual driving as our people take
their vacations. We want them to
enjoy these trips and we believe
that they will find them as pleasant
at As miles per hour as at 55," he
continued. ut has been our
thought from the moment a gaso-
line curfew was mentioned that a
sensible way of conservation was
to be found in lower speeds. We
are not here making an official
proclamation. We are not setting
penalties-the legislature has set
the limit at 55 miles per hour. But
we do request this use of lower
speeds" The Governor, observing
that the various steps in the gaso-
line emergency had so far brought
some confusion, said that one effect
of his request would be to clear
present doubts as to where respon-
sibility rested for conservation. He
said that it seemed difficult to ex-
pect the individual filling station
operator to apply 10 per cent cut
in fuel to his customers. The Gov
ernor praised both drivers and fill
ing station operators for their CO.
operation so far, saying ''The State
is proud of the action its citizens
have already taken. Now it is our
hope that we will continue in this
Ispirit and mill conserve gasoline
without being forced"

HEALTH WORK
CARRIED ON
Pre- School Examination by
Doctors, Nurses and Dental
Hygienists Now Finished
CHECK-UP is IMPORTANT

One hundred and eighty-eight
pre-school children have been visit
ed by dental hygienists in Kent
County this summer, according to
reports just compiled by Miss Mar
garet H. Jeffreys, Director of Oral
Hygiene of the State Board of
Health. This is a part of the
check-up work carried on in the
summer following the pre-school
h h examinations conducted
each spring in all schools by doc
tors, nurses, and dental hygienists
of the State Board of Health. Of
the 1914 children in these examina-
tions who were found to have dem
tai defects, 35 have already had the
corrections made, 108 parents have
promised to have their children go
to the dentist, As families reported
thatt they could not agord dental
care, and the remainder were found
indifferent. There are only two
more weeks before school opens
and Miss Jeffreys urges all parents
possible to have their children's
den's dental work done before the
great adventure of entering school
claims all the youngsters atten-
tion. This is equally important for
children who did not attend the
health examinations. Miss JEFF
frey's reports for the past school
year revealed an immense number
of children in this state who do not
own a tooth brush and many who
own one but do not use it. Since
mouth hygiene is considered most
important factor in good health,
she urges that not only pre-school,
but all children be provided with
tooth brushes. About 10000 chill
dren were examined by dental hy-
gienists in the first. second, third,
and sixth grades thru-out the state
last year. Of these 2,400 did not
brush their teeth at all and 10000
brushed theirs only occasionally.
In addition to the dental hygiene
work, nurses working out from
Kent County Health Unit of the
Board of Health have been check
ing on the physical defects of pre-
