Smyrna times., 1947-12-18

II, Dover Post, and for three weeks
space has prevented US from MAX
ing our weekly appearance. This
group of veterans form one of the
most civic-minded groups now op-
Grating downstate. Calvin Boggs
tells us that there has been some
talk of starting another post here
in Smyrna, although there has
been no move in that direction.
Anyway, Main Street goes on rec
ord as being firmly behind it.
Speaking of Cal Boggs, he is al
ready predicting that Smyrna
won't get more than look at the
ball when the next Smyrna-Kenton
baseball series rolls around. He
didn't look as though he wanted to
put any money on it, though.
Which leads us to believe that
maybe we won't have to start our
baseball workouts until the regular
season.
Why has Smyrna South, North and
East Streets, but no West Street? !?
Since Ripley day in Smyrna and
Kent County, several weeks ago,
we have heard any number of fav-
orable comments upon the general
appearance of our school and the
conduct of the students. 1t seems
that JBM is one place which can
always be counted on to bring fav-
orable comment from visitors.
Why isn't something done about
marking our streets? Visitors to
the town find it almost impossible
to find an address without asking
the way several times. AS far as
this columnist knows the two little
streets which go nowhere but be-
hind the post Office are the only
ones in the entire community which
have these markers.

that from that moment her recovery had
been nothing short of a miracle.
Father Michael kept waiting for sum-
mons he knew would come But it was three
months before Martha Merrill sent for him.
She received him in her drawing room
and he wouldn't have known her anywhere
else. Here was lady of curves and graces,
all her pallor gone Yet her eyes held sad

Three hours later DR.. Crane was hanged
in the prison yard.
FATHER MICHAEL drove into the city In
his hand was prescription. 1t puzzled him,
but his duty seemed clear enough.
At the first telephone he called the office
of DR.. Mark Eberle. Eberle had been men,
toned in the news as one of the eminent
physicians who had been battling for Mrs.
Merrill's life An Office nurse said that DR..
Eberle wasn't in; crisis, she said, had
called him to the bedside of Mrs. Merrill
Father Michael drove to the Merrill resi-
dence. When maid admitted him, he asked
for Dr. Eberle The maid showed him into
a study, and in a little while Dr.. Eberle
came in He was slight, precise man of
quick speech and impatient gestures.
"Yes?" he asked briskly
Father Michael gave him an exact account

him the prescription.

You mean she's past help?'

Then why not let her decide for herself?
We could at least show her the prescription
Is there any objection?'
DR. EBERLE lighted cigarette, pulled it
fretfully. Cant see any objection he
said, provided you don't shock her. Well
say nothing about prisons and executions
mind you. And don't believe she d recog-
nize Cranes name; she's been too sick to
read the papers for many weeks. Come. -
He led Father Michael to the sick room
A nurse was in attendance there. On the
bed lay woman who seemed little more
than a living skeleton The bones of her
face stood out, and her eyes were deep, dark
hollows
This is Father Michael" Eberle said
He has queer story. Do you feel strong

She nodded, listlessly. Sitting down by
her, Father Michael said: "A DR.. Crane
