Coal Strike May Cause Loss
of Annual Christmas
Town Lights
TOWN LOSES REVENUE

Due to the soft coal strike called
by John L. Lewis, the Civilian Pro-
duction Administration has ordered
a brown-out in 81 eastern states,
Delaware included. Although no
official notification has been re-
ceived by the Town of Smyrna, the
Delaware Power and Light Com
pany has informed S. G. Marvel,
Town Manager, the brown-out
regulations as published in the
Wilmington and Philadelphia pap
ers must be followed. William c.
Pierce, Industrial Sales Manager
of the Delaware Power and Light
Company said, "It is government
order and we must comply" The
federal authorities are asking the
public to help conserve the small
coal reserve by turning out lights
on the following: Interior Christ
mas decorative lighting, Outdoor
Christmas decorative lighting, Air
Conditioning units for comfort,
Display signs, Show windows, In
side display cases, Flood lights
Advertising signs, Marquee light
ing not to have more than a total
of 60 watts, Direction lights not to
be more than go watts, Street
lights to remain as they are at
present for safety reasons. The
Town, like all other distributors OF
electric energy, is the loser of rev.
enue and profit when it is needed
the most, due to the increase ir
cost of all materials purchased al
the present high prices. The Towr
is continuing to put up the Christ.

Smyrna Clayton residents a bril-
liantly lighted Christmas, it was
announced today by members of
the Smyrna-Clayton Chamber of
Commerce, who are cooperating
with the officials of the two towns
in the holiday lighting project. The
only bar to the complete fulfill
ment of the plans, may be the
continued strike of mineworkers
and consequent continuing of the
brownout through the holiday sea-
son. The Chamber of Commerce OF
the two towns has voted to give
four sets of prizes, two sets in each
town, for the best decorated ex-
teriors of homes and the best dec
GRATED exteriors of places of busi.
ness. There will be a first, second
and third prize in each classifica.

CHILDREN'S BENEFIT

Members of the University of
Delaware's Athletic Council yester-
day voted to accept the invitation
of the Cigar Bowl committee, and
thus the widely heralded Blue Hens
will be pitted against Rollins Col
lege of Winter Park, Fla, in the
Jan. 1 charity football contest
which will be played at Tampa,
Fla. In announcing the acceptance
of the invitation, the council stated
the game was approved in appre-
citation of the fine play of the Della
ware team this season. Speaking
for the Council, William D. (Bill)
Murray, who is head football coach
said the school would derive no
monetary reward for playing in
this game inasmuch as it is a char
liable affair and sponsored by the
Shriners for its Crippled Children's
Fund. Thus the affair will be con-
Quoted somewhat along the lines
of the annual East-West Shriner's
game which Is held annually in
Kezar Stadium, San Francisco.
Both schools will receive travelling
expenses only. Delaware had also
received offers from the Tobacco
Bowl in Lexington, KY, the Glass
Bowl in Toledo, Tangerine Bowl in
Orlando, Fla, and bowl game to be
played in San Antonio, Texas.

Don't overcrowd the dishpan.
Wash one pan at time and you'll
spare knobs and handles from USE

Before reputtying seal the wood

For good swinging-gate sup

Before dyeing a garment, it is
best to remove all buttons, buck

out hens, pleats and Innings so
the dye can penetrate the fabric
more evenly.
When painting doors or furniture
cover the knobs and hardware
with coating of petroleum jelly.
After painting has been finished

Questions and Answers
On
National Representation
For the District of Columbia
(Sirth of a Series)
RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES Denied

right and privilege do you seek
national representation?
Answer-This distinctive Amer
ican privilege decorates the
American with a badge of honor
and arms him with power. Its
lack slurs the Washingtonian as
unfit and defective, and slurs the
Nation as in this respect un-
American and impotent.
What the amendment proposes
is equitable in itself and COM
pulsory in accordance with
American principles and tradi-
tions.
It gives to residents of the
District rights and privileges
which, under our scheme of gov
ernment, belong to all who pay
national taxes and fight as ma
tional soldiers.
It gives to residents of the
District a self-protecting power
in the national councils which is
denied to the residents of no
other community in all of the
mainland and contiguous United
States, from Maine to Texas and
from New York to California.
Washington will cease to be
the only American community
numerous, intelligent, prosper
Gus, public spirited and patri-
otic-in all the expanse OF con-
tinental and contiguous United
States whose fitness to exercise
national privileges, as well as to
bear national burdens. is denied
Evening star., 1946-11-01

Question: In What particulars
are you depriped of the rights
and privileges OF Americans 1oho
are citizens of a State?
Answer-In relation to national
laws the sole function of the
District residents is to obey. They
take no part in making the laws
which they must obey.
> In relation to national taxes,
their sole function is to pay.
They have nothing to say, like
other taxpayers, concerning the
amount and kind of taxes they
shall pay and how the tax money
shall be spent. H..
In relation to national war,
their sole function is to fight in
obedience to command. They
have no voice, like other Ameri-
cans, in the councils which de-
termine war or peace. They have
no representation in Government
which requires them to fight, to
bleed and perhaps die.
Since the 938,450 (1945 esti-
mate), Americans of the District
pay national taxes, obey national
laws and go to war in the Ma
tion's defense, they are entitled
on American principles to be
represented in the national Gov
ernment which taxes them,
which makes all laws for them
and which sends them to war.
