CHANGE COURT DISTRICTS
Levy Court Boundaries in Kent
County To Be Changed

Both houses of the General As
sembly passed the bill of Rep.
Thomas E. Moore to provide for a
change in the boundaries of the
Kent County Levy Court districts.
Rep. Raymond B. Phillips joined
the House Democrats in voting
against the measures. The bill is
one of those which the Democrats
have fought on the ground it is a
gerrymandering measure to assure
Republicans control of the Levy
Court. Senator ]. Carl McGuigan
of Wilmington, minority floor lead
er, charged the bill was ripper leg
islation. Senator William Deanne
Johnton denied this, claiming that
when the court was changed from
ten members to three, the districts
were set up to favor the Demo-
Gratis. He said the proposed change
would give both parties a $3.50
chance to win.

Farm Bureau Praised
The chief speaker on this occa-
sion was R. w. Blackburn, secre-
tary of the American Farm Bureau
Federation, who called attention to
the legislative and educational &C
tivities and accomplishments of the
Farm Bureau which have been
most beneficial to the farmers of
the nation, and urged that every
farm family become associated
with this national farmers organ
ization which is operating in forty
three states. Mr.. Blackburn stated
that the farm manpower problem is
very serious, primarily because SO
many experienced men in agricul-
ture have left farms for service in
the armed forces and for work in
industrial plants, and unless some
satisfactory adjustment is made to
this situation there is a
grave possibility that food produc-
ton will be greatly curtailed this
year.
State Wide Meeting
Plans are also being formulated
for a statewide meeting of all
Farm Bureau members and other
farmers on April 20 in the Caesar
Rodney School when it is expected
that Edward O'Neal, president of
the American Farm Bureau FEEDER

cordial invitation is extended to all
farmers and the general pubic to
attend this meeting and to hear
this presentation of the agricutur-
al problems facing our country and
how farmers are contributing to

OLD RECORD OF
KENYON SCHOOL
Presented to State Archives
by John w. Graham, ESQ.,,
KentOn-bOrn Attorney
CONTAIN FAMILY NAMES

Through the kindness of John
w. Graham, Esq, a well known
Philadelphia attorney, born in Ken
ton, the State Department of Pub
lie Instruction has received for de-
post in the States Archives two
School Registers covering the per-
iod 1875 when Delaware had its
first State Superintendent under a
new school law passed March 20,
1879 to 1879. Many interesting
items are contained in these old
registers. In 1876 the teacher
was Miss Rebecca A. Lee. She
taught until July 81, 1876. Seven
ty-one pupils were enrolled in No
vember, 1875.
67 Pupils Enrolled
George t. Baggs began teaching
September 6, 1876, and taught to
April, when he was succeeded by P.
F. Nickerson who completed the
year on July 81, 1877. The highest
enrolment this year was sixty-sev-
en-. P. F. Nickerson opened school
again about October 1, 1877, and
taught continuously until August
10, 1878. The next year, 1878, he
began September list and taught up
to the end of the first week in Oc-
tober, when for a week there was
no school. Miss Annie w. Lord
took up the reins of authority the
third week in October and taught
until the end of December. How
ever, there were three days out the
first week in December for "Insti-
tute" and two weeks out for Christ
mas. Gamaliel Garrison, who is
still living, now residing in Smyr-
ma, began as teacher January /,
1879, and filled the Register by
March 31st. In that month he en-
rolled seventy-five pupils, but the
month before he had seventy-nine.
There the record ends.

much greater interest in their
studies since the introduction of
the new books" The family names

TEST RAID HERE
CALLED FLOP"
Ignorance of Signals Results
i'm Confusion During Test
Air Raid and BlackOut
LEARN SIGNALS URGED

The Sunday night air raid test
here was declared a complete
flop" by Civilian Defense Cord
inator Clifford Jones. The general
ignorance of the air raid signals,
even among the air raid wardens,
was held responsible for the con-
fusion resulting here during the
test. Mr.. Jones stated that all res
idents of this town, for their own
safety, should learn thoroughly to
recognize the signals and to obey
civilian defense regulations. The
fact that the Red Signal came
through first is not unusual, he add
ed, but only proves how unprepared
the people of this town would be in
the event of an actual raid.
No Blue Signal
A misunderstanding at the Dover
Control Center was the reason for
no Yellow or Blue signal here, Mr..
Jones said. Dover phoned the
wrong number, and failing to get
the Smyrna Control Center, phoned
to the Fire House, and by the time
Mr.. Jack Wick, cutodian, had con-
tacted Mr.. Jones for instructions,
the Red Signal had come through.
Mr.. Jones stressed, however, that
during an actual raid, the Red Sig
nal could come through first at any
time. The State Welfare Home,
Mr.. Jones said, were ION their
toes, for they Immediately recog-
nized the Red Signal on the fire
siren, and in turn telephoned Clay
ton. Mr.. James Wilson, town cleo
trician, didn't reach the power
plant to extinguish the street lights
until the All Clear was sounded on
the State Welfare Home whistle,
so that Smyrna was BACKED out
some time following the All Clear.
Air Raid Signals
A long, steady blast on the siren
is the Blue Signal, meaning that
enemy planes probably are coming.
Residents must black out the lights
in their homes and business places,
and motorists and pedestrians pro-
coed to safe place. A series of
short blasts is the Red Signal,
meaning that enemy planes are
overhead. All lights are to be
BACKED out, with motorists and pc
destrians seeking shelter. After
the Red Signal, there will be a
Blue signal, which is not an All
Clear, but means that enemy planes
are no long overhead, but may re-
turn. Lights are to be kept black
ed out, but drivers and pedestrians
may proceed with caution. The All
Clear signal will be sounded on the
State Welfare Home whistle.

Decline Further Details

Mr.. Bodley said his resignation
was being rendered in protest over
the forced resignation of Mr.. Luke
last week, but declined to give any
further details at this time. Other
ration board officials throughout
the state are conidering what &C.
ton they will take, while it is ru-
mored that several boards will also
resign in protest. Mr.. Luke, &C.
eding to the demands of National
OPA Administrator Prentiss M.
Brown, on Saturday rendered his
resignation as state administrator
of OPA, effective April 18th. Mr..
Luke, in his letter of resignation,
charged political interference, in
that leading Delaware Democrats
showed interest in the OPA mainly
for finding positions for party
workers. Reliable reports are that
Mr.. Luke will be replaced by Char
les w. Hardety, of Dover, former
state senator and at one time state
director of the MIRA.
