CARNIVAL CASE
IS DISMISSED
Judge Keith Dismisses Case
Involving Games of
Chance at Carnival
FOX POST RAN CARNIVAL

Judge Ernest v. Keith of the
Kent County Court of Common
Pleas, yesterday dismissed the
American Legion carnival case in
Dover involving the operation of
wheels of chance but said that in
his opinion some of the gambling
devices do contribute to juvenile
delinquency. He dismissed the
case because the defendant was
Solomon Walls, commander of the
Walter L. Fox post of the Amer
lean Legion while the actual
charge was against the post itself.
The Legion post several weeks ago
ran carnival and among the at
fractions were wheels of chance.
The proceeds were to have been
used for building new home for
the post in Dover. A number of
Dover ministers, members of the
Dover Ministerial Association, OBJ
jected to the operation of the
wheels of chance. The legion shut
down the wheels and then followed
the arrest of Walls who said that
he was willing to have the entire
subject aired in court. With the
dismissal of the case yesterday,
the question of wheels of chance
at carnivals remains unsolved. At
the trial were a number of resi-
dents of Kent County towns, OBJ
viously interested in the outcome.
Contributes to Delinquency
In dismissing the case, Judge
Keith said: "The court feels that
operators of various carnivals have
permitted operation of some de-
vices which in my personal opinion
contribute to juvenile delinquen-
cy." The motion to have the case
dismissed was made by Walls at
torney, A. B. Magee, who argued
that nothing had been proven that
Walls himself operated gambling
device. II

MEETING OF
TOWN COUNCIL
Discussion at Recent Session
of Much Interest to
Property Owners
RECEIVE DELEGATION

Town Council at their regular
meeting Friday night gave consid-
erable time to a discussion of wat
er pumping facilities now in use.
Since the completion of the new
water tank it has been found that
the old pumps at the well are
barely adequate to take care of the
increased load and fill the new
tank. Engineers were called in
and tested the pumping ability of
the present system now in use. The
water was turned into the new
tank for about a week, but until the
pumps are adequate the water in
the stand pipe will continle to be
used. Council also contemplates
the extension of the water system
by running a 4-inch main from the
Boulevard on Monrovia Avenue to
Commerce Street, then west on
Commerce Street to connect with
the main where it crosses the
Boulevard. This will give service
to many houses occupied by color
ed people who have never been
able to have town water installed
New Member Electric Crew
Kennerly Lambert of Dover, has
been employed by the town as a
member of the electric crew. Mr..
Lambert has been employed in the
same capacity in both Milford and
Dover and comes well recommend
ed to Smyrna. William Dignan of
Smyrna Landing has been employ
ed as a member of the street main
tenance crew and will work with
the truck. A motor grader, ade-
quate for any type of grading to
be done within the town limits has
been purchased for the use of the
maintenance crew. Council is con-
sidering the adoption of an ordin-
ance where water and sewer are
available, or may be made avail
able, that all property must con-
meet with the sewer and flush
type toilet must be installed.
Property owners were asked to
do this several years ago and
many did not comply. If the ord
nance becomes a law on our
books, property owners will be
compelled to connect with sewer,
which will be safeguard to their
own health as well as the sur
rounding community.
Delegation Visits Council
A delegation from the Smyrna
Clayton Chamber of Comerce call
ed upon Cuncil and informed them
that the Resolute Hosiery Mills of
Philadelphia had selected a site on
Glenwcod Avenue, near the Clay
ton Gun Club property, for the
erection of a hosiery mill in the
near future if sewer, electric and
water is made available to them.
City manager Marvel has had the
site surveyed for sewer and water
and reports that the location is one
foot lower than the lowest practic-
al point for sewer connection,
therefore the installing of a sew
erage pumping station would be
necessary in order to connect with
Smyrna sewer. This would cost
several thousands of dollars. Coun-
Gil has directed the secretary,
Richard G. Long, to write the Res
olute Hosiery Mill to the effect
they cannot extend the sewer sys-
tenn to the site selected, but will
extend electric and water for their
service. Electric and water Will
be furnished the Wilson Cabinet
Co. storage plant which is now
completed and occupies site
nearly oposite the site selected by
the hosiery mill.

Big Increase in Butter Due

A ten-million pound increase in
civilian butter supplies is expected
next month, OPA said, as the re-
suit of a cut in the amount order
ed set aside for military use.
Householders have been buying
less butter in the last two or three
weeqks, OPA said in announcing
the point cut a fortnight ahead of
the date previously reported such
action probable. OPA tied a string
on its gift to housewives, however,
with warning that the point
value would be increased again if
butter sells too rapidly.

New Plan on Meat

Meanwhile the agriculture de-

gram to increase livestock slaugh-
ter in non-federally Inspected
plants as a step toward greatest
possible use of all slaughtering IA
cilities. Under the plan announced
by Secretary Anderson a week
ago, the government will exempt
slaughterers from the present
quota limitations if they meet GER
tain conditions, and the govern
ment will accept non-federally in
spected meat in its own buying. To
obtain exemptions, the smaller
slaughterers must give assurance
that they will observe price cell
ings, will not let meat move into
black markets, will meet sanitary
standards and provide the govern
ment with such meat as it may re-
quire.

There are great many women who want
to 60 on working at their present jobs after
the war ends. All kinds of women married
and unmarried, young and old, women with
capable average workers.
We often hear that women will have to
give up their jobs to returning servicemen.
Well, | don't know any women who want to
hold jobs at the expense of our veterans. But
then, don't know any men who do either.
As heard one man in our plant comment:
The day discharged soldier walks in
here and asks for job, I'm willing to pack
up my tool box and let him have my place"
1t was fine thing to say; and he meant it.
Yet no one suggests that we assure vet
Grams jobs by throwing men in factories.
out of work. We have been planning jobs for
present workers and returning soldiers alike.
l do not know why the same constructive
attitude can't be taken toward women who
want to keep on working.
Women today take their jobs seriously, and
for the same reasons men do.
Must Make Living
HE all-important reason, of course, is to
make living. Some need to work because
their husbands are in the Army, and they
cannot get along on a soldiers pay. And
when the war ends, there are husbands who
won't be coming back. Some who do return
will not be able to work for while. A few
may never be able to work again. For their
wives, jobs will be necessity.
Women who are not married will certainly
have to support themselves. And it is gen.
orally agreed that this generation will have
more than it's share of single women, with the
wars taking its toll of our young men.
Many married women, too, will want to
keep on working because of economic pres
sure. People who have long needed medical
and dental care are finally able to afford it.
Couples have bought homes because they
were making enough money to meet pay
ments; and they count on two pay checks
to help them continue after the war.
Besides, lot of women have found their
Jobs more interesting, more stimulating, and
above all, more social, than housework. There
are certainly very few men who would enjoy
staying home all day, even if they could
afford it.
For the first time, on a large scale, factory
women have done work in keeping with their
physical and mental abilities, their training,
and their quickness to learn. In war plants,
where all types of workers are needed, women
are no longer restricted to unskilled, monoto-
nous jobs To great extent, they have been
treated on par with men, both in classical
ton and pay.

w lately, about getting women to 60 back
where they came from. A year ago, it was the
question, How can we prod them out of
their kitchens and put them to work in vital
war industries?" Now certain uneasy males
begin to hold forth on ways and means of
reversing the process.
That women will go back to their prewar
occupations, that they must go back. seems
to be a foregone conclusion. No problem
there. But, we are informed dolefully women
have changed. The former housewives
horizon has been broadened by work
done and contacts made during this
period How can we persuade her that true
contentment lies only within the four walls
of her home? How can we ''readjust' her so
that she will be happy - or at least docile -
in her old way of life?
Frankly, don't think we can.
Table-talk Experts
HE "readJustment' talk emanates largely
from professors, writer's of editorials, and
tabe-talk experts worked in Detroit war
plant for year and a half, and among my
friends and fellow workers there, | do not
believe ever heard this issue raised.
Not that the girls weren't given to dis
cussions They were. But it was not ques-
ton of readjustment. 1t was, simply, as it was
with the men, How can we hold our Jobs?'
Some of the men felt that women should go
on working if they wanted to, Others thought
not.

Wife's Tired Too

In MANY cases it has been possible for women
to work during the war because of help
given them by family and neighbors. Many
a husband has taken on household duties,
realizing that his wife, too, was tired after
full days work. Many children have taken
on their share of work, or have assumed re-
sponsibility in the care of younger children.
Neighbors have shared cars to finish weeks
shopping in single evening, asked children
next door in to lunch because their mother
was at work.
Maybe something was gained here beyond
the immediate objective. A better under
standing between husband and wife, greater
responsibility on the part of children, deeper
community sense in big cities where once
next-door neghbors never spoke to each
other We have discovered something good;
let's not lose it.
Some say, But it won't work, once the
war ends" The same ones, no doubt, who
said that women could never be trained for
the work they are now doing.
Can America be as resourceful and ener-
getic in its peacetime program as it has been
in its wartime program? If SO, the skeptics
will be wrong again. The End

Under such circumstances women with the
