DIMOUT VIOLATORS TO BE
ARRESTED INSTEAD WARNED

Warrants for arrest, and not re-
quests or commands to violators of
the military dimout regulations in
Kent County, to correct flaws will

John P. LeFevre, State dimout di-
rector warned this week. His an
nouncement followed disclosure of
an inspection of dimout conditions
of Sussex County, conducted by
Army officers under the command
of the Delaware Defense District.
"It would be regrettable to have to
arrest any Delawae citizen for vio-
lating the regulations which the
Army has seen fit to issue, but vio-
lators, especially the fragrant ones,
will have to be prosecuted" Colonel
LeFevre cautioned. He was I'M

any prosecutions may result from

BOY SCOUTS REORGANIZED
Roland V. Weber Elected Scout
Master to Succeed Elery Ward

AT meeting of the Boy Scouts
held in the j. B. M. School last
Monday evening Roland v. Weber
was elected Scout Master to sue
coed Elery Ward, who resigned due
to pressure of other business. Mr..
Ward was master of Scouts for the
past four years and during that
time much activity was shown by
the boys. Mr.. Weber comes from
the state of Wisconsin and has been
i'll this section about four years.
He married Miss Ruth Urian,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. William
H. Urian of dupont Boulevard
north of Smyrna. Mr.. Weber is an
Eagle Scout and has been much in
terested in the work of the scouts
in this section. Attending the meet
ing was George Hardin, District
Commissioner. Assistant Scout
Masters will be selected from
among the boys who have attained
rank of Star, Life or Eagle Scout.
A charter which must be applied
for annually was asked and Troop

AIR RAID TEST
IN DAYLIGHT
To Be Friday Morning With
All Wardens on Duty and
Civilians on the Alert
ALL CLEAR ON RADIO

The statewide practice Air Raid
Drill has been scheduled for tomor-
row friday morning. The "blue"
signal, which signifies enemy planes
approaching will be sounded at
1925 a. m. with a long blast. This
signal permits traffic to move eau
tiously. The "red" signal at 10.45
with a series of short blasts-all
traffic must come to a standstill
and every person must be off the
street except those officially active
and remain so until the "blue" sig
nal at 1855. The white, or all
clear signal will be given over the
radio by station WDEL and locally
by the Welfare Home whistle. The
main purpose of this test is to ia
miliarize the civilian population
with the new air raid signals, and
every person, man, woman and
child must obey these orders as a
matter of safety should raid sud-
denly become a reality. Wardens
will patrol their beats and a care
full check-up will be made to catch
any vioators. Remember the
change in signals which will be
given on our fire siren and less con-
fusion will result.

DRIVE TAGGING
FOR RED CROSS
Failure to Contribute Here
May Bring Serious Results
to Boys on Battlefield
GIVE GENEROUSLY NOW

With the finest solicitors of which
any community can boast, and with
the giving of their time and efforts
in the Red Cross War Fund Drive,
we have barely reached the half
way mark. This year, above all
years, double contributions are
needed from everyone if we are to
keep the helpful, kindly light of the
Red Cross burning where the dark
ness of disaster is running ramp
ant. We must not fail to realize
the serious results from our failure
to contribute fully to the financial
needs of the Red Cross. From
every battlefield we hear the crying
urge of our boys to give generously
to the Red Cross. These men know
how invaluable to them is the aid
of the Red Cross. Less than two
weeks remain for this drive. Every
citizen of this community is urged
to give generously and give today.
Anyone who may have been over
looked in this drive is urged to take
or send their contribution to George
w. Boehmler, treasurer of the Red
Cross War Fund Drive.

AID FOR CENTER" REFUSED
Recreation Center For Defense
Workers Here Refused Help +.

The Federal Works Agency of
Region No. 2 has replied to a re-
quest of the Town of Smyrna for
assistance under the Lanham Act,
to secure money to keep the Rec
reation Center of Smyrna in exist
ence, as follows: I'm view of the
small amount of Federal funds re-
Guested, it is believed that contri-
buttons of the girls who use the
Center and local resources should
be used to finance the SERVICE" In
refusing the application for help to
support the Center, the work of
carrying on has been purely volun-
tary since the WPA went out of ex-
istence the last part of February.
This center has provided whole
some recreation and a meeting
place for many of the three hun
dred extra girls now being housed
in Smyrna, and it is worthy of the
help of any organization or person
who might SO desire to contribute
to its support.
Smyrna times. [volume] (Smyrna, Del.) 1854-1987, 1943-03-18

the most common violation was the
failure to draw down the shades in
homes to prevent the actual source
of light from being visible from
outside. Several cases were noted
where stores maintained more light
in their show windows than permits
sible under the regulations. Other
glazing violations noted were deter
ioration of the paint on the upper
half of headlights and paint cover
ing less than the required full up
per half of the lenses, together with
use by some motorists of the high
beam which is banned even when
the headlights are properly BACKED
out. Calling attention to the
stringency of the regulations and
the necessity that all persons OBJ
serve them, Colonel LeFevre reiter-
ated that it is incumbent upon all
to acquaint themselves with the re-
quirements as arrests now will be
made instead of appeals for compli-
ance.

CONSIDER NEW WOMEN ARMY
Many Women Needed For Enroll
ment In the WAAC

The satisfaction of personal par
ticipation in Americas great
struggle is not the least of many
reasons why the Women's Army
Auxiliary Corps is attracting a gall
liant, sturdy group of women pa
triots. 1t isn't easy to give us
good-paying job or leave comfort
able home to don uniform. Yet
many women are doing it, and
glorying in it. Women who have
husbands, sons, brothers, and sweet
hearts in combat; and women who
simply believe their greatest con-
tribution is this direct one to the
Army. If you have not yet found
your most effective, satisfying post
in our fight for freedom, consider
this new women's army. Many of
the jobs which the WAAC will be
called upon to do, wherever Ameri-
can soldiers are fighting or training,
offer experience which will be val
liable in postwar life. Just few
of the openings in the WAAC in
clude: bookkeepers, camera tech
nicians, cashiers, clerical workers
of all kinds, cooks and bakers,
craftsmen, drivers, messengers, mu-
sicians, radio operators, and re-
pairmen, statisticians, stenograph-
ers, telephone operators and typists.
Pay is equal to soldiers pay. Every
auxiliary has equal opportunity to
compete for selection for officer
training in this rapidly expanding
corps, regardless of race, creed or
color. You need only be strong, in
telligent, a citizen, aged 81 to A,
inclusive, and eager! Do your part
for Uncle Sam = join the WAAC.

SLOW SECURING
NEW CAR TAGS
Many Whose License Expire
on March 81 Not Renewed
At This Late Date
EXPECT SOME DECREASE

Those motor vehicle owners
whose present registration will eX-
pire on March 31st will be doing
themselves and the Motor Vehicle
Department great favor if they
will not wait until the las tweek of
this month to have their cars in
spected and their registration tags
renewed If they desire to con-
tinue to operate their car they
must have their registration renew
ed and before they can have the
registration renewed they must
have their car inspected. Surely
all of them are familiar with these
regulations. Therefore, the wise
thing to do is to have the car in
spected and registration renewed
now and not wait for the final rush.
According to the records of Mr..
Williams there are total of 49,
476 registrations listed to expire on
March 31st and thus far 5,646 have
been renewed with the possibility
that this number may have been
slightly increased in the last day or
two. Under the present system of
having Delaware motor vehicle reg
istrations expire at the end of each
quarter, the number expiring on
March 31st is the largest for any
quarter in the year. While officials
of the Motor Vehicle Department
expect that there will be some de-
crease in the registrations, due to
motorists not using their cars dur
ing the war, Mr.. Williams pointed
out that this decrease would not
probably exceed ten per cent. Ac-
cordingly department officials are
anticipating a rush for renewals of
registrations at the end of the
month but they do not expect that
there will be any extension of the
time for renewing the registrations.
Before the registration can be re-
newed each motor vehicle must
pass an inspection for safety opera
ton. The period for renewing reg
istrations expiring on March 31st
has been in effect since January list.

BOYS STATE
Is TOMORROW
Legislature to Be Host at the
Meeting in Legislative Hall
Where Boys Will Organize
STATE FIRST IN LINE

At the first meeting in the six
year history of Boys State to be
held in Dover tomorrow the Legis-
lature will be in session and boys
will conduct affairs for the day.
George Wright, Senator, and Jack
Mood, Representative, have been
elected from the ]. B. M. School
here. Former State Senator Will
liam e. Matthews, Jr., chairman of
the Delaware Boys State Commit
tee announces that all is in readi-
ness for the successful carrying out
of their plans for the day. Della
ware is the first state to organize
a Boys State and the first to have
a joint meeting with the Legisla-
ture in session. Those taking part
in the meeting will be selected from
schools all over the state. Rumors
that Delaware's first morning air
raid test, scheduled for Friday
morning, would be postponed be-
cause of interference with the Boys
State session were scotched by Gov.
Walter w. Bacon, chairman of the
State Council of Defense. He said
he had conferred with Gerrish Cas-
saway, executive vice-chairman of
the council, and no mention was
made of calling off the test or hold
ing it at some other time. 1t was
pointed out those taking part in
Boys State, will be delayed only 10
minutes during which the red"
danger, period will be in effect and
all except designated emergency
traffic will be required to halt.

PRICE.
CEILING SET
Del-Mar-Va Broiler Raisers
Face Tremendous Respon-
sibility Now
RECORDS MUST BE KEPT

The price division of the state
Office of Price Administration is be-
ginning in this issue series of ar
ticles on the control of poultry pric-
es in Delaware. Be sure to follow
the series closely; it will be well
worth your while. No farmer or
poultry raiser may accept more
than ceiling prices for poultry from
any buyer, whether he is live
shipper or a professor" James L.
Luke, Jr., State Director of the
OPA, emphasized today in pointing
out the provision of Revised Max
imum Price Regulation 269 which
establishes equal liability for seller
as for buyer in price violations. He
added that, after having studied re-
ports from OPA field investigators,
the District Office feels that atten-
ton to the above should be noted
by members of this area. If any
farmer is in doubt about ceiling
price, all he has to do is get in
touch with the Office of Price Adj
ministration, los Pennsylvania
Building, Wilmington, and state the
weight average of his chickens and
where they are to be Shipper, and
the office will gladly inform him of
the highest price he can accept.
Continuing, Mr.. Luke pointed out
that the oPultry Industry in this
State occupies a position of vital
Importance in the overall picture
of hostiities. 1t is not the desire of
the OPA to retard in any way the
continued maxifum production of
poultry by Delaware farmers and
growers-to do so would result in
turmoil. BY the same token CELL
ing prices must be maintained if a
supply of this essential food is to
be available to people who need it
to supplement short meat rations.
Meat rationing insures that the
stomaches of our fighting men at
the front are properly fed. Poul-
try farmers, growers and buyers
must keep for inspection by the
OPA representatives records show
ing date of sale, to whom sold, the
quantities, varieties, grades, weight
classes, and the price per pound.
This applies to farmers who sell
their f1ocks to live buyers and pro-
cessors as well as to those who buy
for shipment. Next weeks article
will further discuss the responsible
tiles of the poultry industry in Del
aware.
