Congratulations

Congratulations to H. o.
Crawmer who was recently
elected president of the
Licking County Building
and Loan. For twenty years
Mr.. Crawmer served ably as
director of the institution,
and was one of the men who
safely guided the business
through the precarious de-
preston era. 1t is fitting
that he should be chosen to
the new post, a worthy sue
cessor to the late A. H. Rick
ert. We wish him every
success.

Credit

A great deal of credit
should go to A. B. Jones,
general chairman for the
past two years of the Infan-
tile Paralysis drive in Lick
ing county. Both drives
have been highly successful
under his capable guidance,
and as his report showed
last week, a net of $14O6
was realized this year, one
half of which amount is be-
ing used locally.
Assuming Craftsmanship of
drives of this nature entails
not only a great amount of
responsibility, but a lot of
work.
Along with Mr.. Jones the
many workers certainly
should come in for their
share of praise for the hours
they devoted to a worthy
cause so that many unfortu-
nate children could be aided
in their fight for health and
happiness.

BlackOuts

Newark now has a Black
out and Air Raid ordinance
prescribing certain rules and
regulations for the citizenry
to observe. No doubt most
residents will become famil-
lar with the requirements,
in time.
It is of interest to note
that practically every news
paper exchange coming to
the editors desk from viii
lagos to cities the size of
Newark, and larger, carries
the ordinance in full as an
official publication.
At a recent meeting the
Newark council decided
against printing the legisla-
tion as an economy meas
ure.

eminent Project i'm Tennessee

A large truck loaded with porce-
lain bath tubs for a government
project in Tennessee turned over
Tuesday in an effort to avoid hit
ting a car at the intersection of
the Boulevard and Commerce
Street. No one was injured. Ac-
cording to police, the truck driven
by Ernest Brown of Ocala, Fla. was
going south when an automobile
darted out of Commerce Street. In
order to avoid hitting the car,
Brown twisted the wheel so vio-
lently the truck overturned. The
driver of the other car did not stop.
Truck Damage is $1,000
The owner of the truck, H.
Schwartz, of Brooklyn, who was
travelling with the load, estimated
damage to his car at about $4,000.
The porcelain tubs, he said, were a
total loss, all being Clipped or
broken. Their loss was not deter
mined. When arraigned before
Magistrate Edgar Frazier, Brown
paid $13.65 on a charge of reckless
driving. Traffic at the intersection
was slowed for five hours, while the
tubs We're unloaded and the truck

BLACKOUT HELD
USELESS HERE
Mayor Corley Declares Black
out Alone, Without Defense
Operations, a Waste
NEED SURPRISE TEST

A blackout practice for homes
and other buildings without simula-
ton of actual afraid defense OPP
ertions would be of no advantage to
this town. This opinion was ex-
pressed yesterday by Mayor R. F.
Corley, director of civilian defense
for Smyrna. "a blackout practice
of this kind might be of value to
larger centers of population, but it
is practically useless for Smyrna"
said Mayor Corley. The Whining
ton Civilian Defense Cabinet, in an
nouncing plans for an hour-long
blackout of homes and other build
ings on June 4, had indicated de-
sire that Kent and Sussex Counties
join in the plan at the same time.
Called Waste of Effort
Mayor Corley expressed the view
that such a test here, with the nee
essary checking-up and carrying
out of other routine, would be a
waste of time, effort, and material,
referring especially to gasoline and
tires, without a practical AFRAID
blackout drill. Daylight mobiliza-
ton drills for the defense organiza-
lions whereby members of defense
units get practical experience, are
favored, but building blackouts do
not provide the conditions which
the workers and residents have to
face in a real afraid.
Need Surprise Test
Mayor Corley said that when
Smyrna has another night test, he
is DESTROYS that it be complete
surprise and that he himself not
have knowledge of when it may
come, not even as to date after
which it may be called. Such a
he said, is needed to put
Smyrna to a real test. An essen

NEWS COLUMN
Local Post and Auxiliary
Start Medium of Exchange
For Persons in Service
NEWS FOR "THE BOYS"

In this weeks issue of The Smyr-
ma Times, new weekly column is
being introduced. This feature has
been sponsored jointly by the David
C. Harrison Post, No. IA, American
Legion, and their Unit of the
American Legion Auxiliary. This
new column will be called "Drib-
bles From Our Boys In The Ser
vice" It's purpose will be to act as
a medium of exchange of news for
persons now engaged in the armed
forces of the United States who,
prior to their enlistments, or induc-
lions, into the Service lived in the
IKenton, Clayton, or Smyrna area.
This may also be interpreted to in
clude the entire northern portion of
Kent County now being served by
the John Bassett Moore High
School.
Auxiliary Will Interview
In the very near future repre-
sentatives of the Auxiliary will call
upon, and interview, families and
friends of Service men and women
in the area as outlined. They plan
to explain the purpose and intent
of this new column. Undoubtedly,
they will ask the families of the
Service men and women to cooper
ate with them by securing interest
ing news for publication. They
will also wish to secure information
relative to present addresses, and
subsequent change of addresses, of
such members of the family who
are now in active service. 1t is to
be hoped, that those upon whom
the calls are made, will enter heart
/ lily into the project, and supply
such information as requested.

RATION BOARD
REMAINS HERE
H. R. BOdley, Chairman of
Smyrna Unit, Assured Board
Will Not Be Moved
NEW QUARTERS READY

Harley R. Bodley, chairman of
the Local Rationing Board, has re-
ported that he has been assured by
authoritative sources that the
Smyrna board will not be moved
for incorporation with any other
unit, as had previously been report
ed. Last week, members of the
Board received notice that the
Smyrna unit was to be disbanded,
and incorporated with the Dover
Rationing Board. The town-wide
dissention which resulted prompted
the Board to take steps toward
seeking reinstatement of the local
rationing unit, and the assurance
that it would continue operations
in the same capacity as before.
New Offices Ready
The new quarters for the Ration
ing Board are completed, and the
offices will be occupied within two
or three days. These new head
quarters will be located in the old
Fruit Growers Bank Building, on
the corner of Commerce Street and
Market Street Plaza. With the in
creased volume of work, the Board
had need of extra space, and will
now occupy three large rooms.
Sugar For Canning
Registrars desiring additional
sugar for canning are now applying
to the present Rationing Board
headquarters in the Delaware Real
Estate Office, on Commerce Street
There will be no time limit on this
registration, but each registration
will be split up into seasonal can
ming periods, the Board said Sugar
allowances include one pound of
sugar for each four quarts of fin
ished fruit, and for preserving, one
pound per person per household
There were IL family unit applica-
tons the first two days.

WHEAT CROP
STORAGE SPACE
Farmers Must Be Prepared to
Store Wheat on Their
Farms This Year
EXPECT LARGE 1912 CROP

In view of the fact that almost
two-thirds of the grain storage
space in all warehouses, elevators
and storages other than those or
farms are already filled with wheat
which represents two-year's sup
ply, farmers must be prepared to
store their wheat this year on theil
farms, according to information re-
ceived by R. Harry Wilson, chair
man, and Russell E. Wilson, secre-
tary, of the Kent County USDA
War Board. In order to make
sure of having this additional stor-
age space in time to take care OF
| the 1912 crop of wheat, materials
should be ordered now, as it is ex-
pected that farmers will be able tc
secure these materials which they
will need for the construction OF
farm storages if orders are placed
early. A recent War Production
Board order provided for increased
production of nails for a foul
months period.

DIMOUT STRICT
IN COAST AREA
More Stringest DimOut Rules
Suggested; Results made
quate, Gen. Terry Claims
GREATER LIGHT CONTROL

More stringent dimout rules for
Kent and Sussex Counties appear
ed probable as results of dimming
lights so far seemed to be made
quate. Mayor j. Wallace Wood
ford, Dover, and Mayor Edward C.
Evans, Milford, civilian defense CO.
ordinators for the two counties, re-
laying the opinion of Maj.-Gen.
Thomas A. Terry, commanding
general of the Second Corps Area,
said that the average person ap-
parently has not yet grasped what
is expected of him to prevent sill
houetting of ships against the
landward glow. With this disclos-
ure, General Terry announced that
stricter rules may be enforced for
Delaware, New Jersey, and other
coastal states. The change, it was
predicted by Mayor Albert w.
James, would not affect Whining
ton.
Urge Greater Control
In view of General Terry's state
ment, Mayor Woodford and Mayor
Evans urged greater control over
all lights in the two counties al
ready affected by partial dimout
regulations General Terry's ref
Ierences were directed principally
to coastal areas but there was gen.
eral Interpretation that it applied
to all sections now under partial
dimout control.
