Smyrna times., 1947-03-20

Smyrna, one is to extend the town
corporate limits. Just what this
will take in has not been definite
ly decided. The other bill is to
amend the town Charter so that
Smyrna may have the dignity of
having a Mayor like Middletown,
Dover, Milford and other towns.
Smyrna contestant, Pauline Low
man, entered the statewide SPELL
ing Bee Wednesday night.
The new tower, including the
electric clock, has been installed,
the scaffolding taken down and the
job turned over to the Town as
completed. 1t was not, however,
until the scaffold was torn down
that the true symmetry of the
tower and clock showed up to ad-
vantage.
William Glenn Matthews, seven
year-old son of State Senator w.
E. Matthews of Smyrna was a
proud young man Friday after
noon. Some of the members nam
ed him 'aThe junior senator from
Smyrna" when he visited the
chambers. During few tagging
moments while Senator Matthews
was presiding he asked "the Jun
ior Senator from Smyrna" if he
had any remarks to make. Young
bill" arose, greatly embarrassed
and smiling shyly took a bow.

Town Betterment

The Smyrna-Clayton Cham
ber of Commerce recently
marked its second anniver-
sary-two years of commun-
ity service. Starting with 36
members, the Chamber of
Commerce constitutes a con-
structive program for the
first year and successfully
achieved its aims as well as
promoting a few long term
projects such as a Local Air
port, Smyrna Theatre and the
improvement of housing con-
ditions. All such long term
projects have been and are
being worked on for the near
future. Among the accom-
plishments were the success
full adoption of the Town
Manager system for the local
government; cash scholarship
award to outstanding stu
dents of civics and CONNER
cial courses in our public
schools; a traffic survey of
Commerce Street parking
conditions from which a rec
ommendation was made; and
the Chamber has promoted
the location of new factories
here which would mean new
families and new homes as
well as additional employment
opportunities to help the bus
mess of the community. This
list is, by no means, complete.
These and other projects have
been planned for and COM
pleted in the two short years
of its existence. The Cham
Der of Commerce has laid the
foundation upon which can be
built a bigger and better
Smyrna for all of us. Let's
give it the community sup
port it needs today, so it can
give us a better community
tomorrow.
