STORM
HITS HERE
Not Much Damage in Smyrna
But Some Rural Roads
Have Drifts
NO SERIOUS ACCIDENTS

The rain and sleet storm of Sun
day which kept many home from
church services, made streets a
frozen mass by late Sunday night
and on Monday the walking was
very treacherous. Another sleet
storm broke before daylight Tues
day and was followed by snow
thruout the day until late after
noon when considerable melting
occurred. The storm delayed de-
liveries of milk from farms and
bread from Wilmington where con-
ditions of travel were much worse
than in Kent County. No damage
was reported in Smyrna to electric
lines altho lines and shrubbery were
heavily coated with ice for two
days. Farmers in this section re-
port their lanes in some places
made impossible with drifts large
enough to cause the car to stall,
and ice-laden branches hanging low
enough to prevent the passage of
a car on the driveway. Schools
in this section were not affected by
the storm, buses arriving with a
large percent of the pupils.

Campaign For February End
Marks Annual Extension
Service Program
HELPS SAVE FOOD

This winters annual rat poison
ing has been scheruled for Febru-
ary 2, the day usually devoted to
observing the action of another
rodent. the ground hog, according
to William E. Tarbell, County
Agent of Kent County. Rats are
a menace to public health and pri-
vate enterprise. They destroy lives
of people and animals through car
rying diseases. Every year they
destroy thousands of dollars worth
of food and feed. On the Delmarva
Peninsula they present a particu-
larly serious problem, since much
of the feed for the important poul-
try and dairy industries is in
ground form most palatable to
them. They also treaten the poul-
try industry by killing baby chicks.
Necessity for efficient production
and good use of all available ma
terials during wartime has empha-
sized the necessity for controlling
rodents. The annual rat poisoning
campaign is part of the general
control program which has been
conducted by the Extension Service
during the past year. Details OF
the program, including complete
instructions for safe and efficient
use of the two rodenticides to be
used zinc phosphide and red squill)
will be presented to farmers within
the next few weeks.

CLUB WOMEN
HEAR ADDRESS
Lieut.. Isaacs, State Highway
Police, Tells of His Work
With Crime and Traffic
TEA FOLLOWS MEETING

Lieut.. Edward Isaacs of the
State Highway Police, was the
guest speaker at the meeting of
the Twentieth Century Club on
January II, on program arranged
by Mrs. Alfred Tilghman, chairman
of Public Safety. Lieut.. Isaacs told
of the qualification of the police in
the interest of the public in what
they are trying to do. Their work
is divided into two phases: l. traf-
fic; 2. criminal. Their problem is
the scarcity of man-power; the
normal strength 80 men but today
they have only 76. He spoke of
the hazard due to the use of old
cars on the highways. In postwar
times they will have choice mater
ial from which to select their per-
sonnel; and they look for increased
speeds with the use, after the war,
of high octane gas. The present
roads will be inadequate, but post
war road construction plans are
set up. Only the absolute essential
up-keep is being done during the
war. Good results are anticipated
from the training in driving pro-
gram now being held in the schools.
He cited figures showing the great
increase in crime during 1914, es-
pecially in the age limit under 25
years and stressed the need for
public support, particularly in the
matter of juvenile delinquency, in
repressive and preventatie measur-
es. He also paid tribute to the
excellent public support now given.
Miss Anna B. Beckett gave several
readings on Thoughts for the New
Year" Mrs. Marion Coverdale
played two piano solos and group
singing was led by Mrs. John L.
Johnson. A reading, "Bless This
House." was given by Mrs. Thigh
man with musical background by
Mrs. Coverdale. Mrs. A. d. Cole,

program on January 26 has as
chairman Miss Julia Griffith, chair
man Of International Relations. On
February 20 Mrs. Robert Denney
will arrange Fine Arts program
and asks the cooperation of mem
bers in a display of old glassware
and china. Mrs. Alfred Tilghman
who was chairman of the program
