AS long as a single infected
animal remains, there will always
be danger of spreading tubercu.
losis to a disastrous number OF
cattle. The last source of infection
must be eliminated before we can
let up in this fight.
Periodic testing of herds, on a
herd or area basis, Is the only way
to be sure that new and serious
fiare-ups of bovine T. B. will not
occur. In areas where tuberculosis
has appeared In recent years,
veterinarians are advising yearly
tests. In areas long free of the
disease, it may not be necessary
to make tests oftener than every
two or three years.
Following the tests, reactors
should be slaughtered. Govern
ment funds are available to CON-
pensate the owners of the cattle
thus destroyed.
Livestock health authorities
throughout the country are active
in efforts to finish off the fight
against tuberculosis. With cooper
alton from stock owners, they be-
lieve the job can be done. In the
meantime, every cattle owner
should make sure. that his own
animals are tuberculosis-free. By
doing so, he not only protects his
livestock but the health of his
own family.

SMYRNA AND VICINITY

Outside the war news, which has
given us nothing special for sew
eral days, the most exciting was
the conviction in the U. S. Circuit
Court of Wilmington yesterday, of
Ezekiel T. Cooper for aiding Boggs
in the Dover bank defalcation. The
penalty will be fine and imprison-
ment.
George M. Stevenson and son
Reynolds returned yesterday from
a weeks visit to his brother JAM
es, at Preston, Md.
Charles Moore, who has been
clerking in the grocery store of the
late Henry Spruance, has succeed
ed Frank Armstrong at the gen
eral merchandise store of William
George Lees.
1t is a rare incident for a photo
grapher to have four generations
of the same family looking in the
camera for the same picture, but
such was the luck of Cummings,
the artist, a week or so ago, the
four being Mrs. Rachel Hoffecker,
(now in her goth year,, son ex-
Speaker John H. Hoffecker, recent
candidate for governor, and Mrs.
H. p. Hall (nee Nan c. Hoffecker)
and little John Hoffecker Hall.
There will only be a few more
meetings of the Twentieth Century

At the meeting last Friday after

tury Club, of this town, on the

of disabled veterans and needy
children of veterans. II hope
everyone will understand the pub
lic-spirited service being given by
our volunteers on Poppy Day" said
Mrs. Bailey. "Their only reward
for the hours of hard and unac-
customed effort will be to see the
poppies being worn in honoring re-
membrance of those who died for
America, and to know that the
contribution they collect will help
make life easier for the war dis
abled and dependent families dur
ing the year ahead. ''We all should
be highly grateful to them for
bringing us this opportunity to
honor the dead and aid the wars
living victims"

Memorial Day Exercises

Big plans are in store by
the David G. Harrison Post,
American Legion, to revive
the old fashioned Memorial
Day exercises, complete with
parade, firing squad, school
children, poppies, band and
services at Odd Fellows Gem
etery. 1t is hoped by the
committee in charge of ar
rangements that residents of
Smyrna and Clayton and sur
rounding communities will
lend their support and patron
age to help make this project
well worthwhile and to help
restore, on a pre-war scale,
the ceremonies memorializing
our honored dead.
This is the first time in the
past several years that a par
ade of any size has been held
on Memorial Day. Incorpo-
rating a new idea in parade
procedures in this town, all
Gold Star Mothers in the sur
rounding area will be given a
place of honor in the parade
Immediately following the
Color Guard. These honored
ladies, who have given so
much to their country, will
ride in open convertible auto
mobiles SO that residents of
this area may have the chance
to see them - and remember.
Remember - because, at this
time, we dare not forget.

Delaware Park The latest of
many improvements at Delaware
Park is the installation of a new
water system with an 80-foot high
pressure tank. Delaware Park
will, also, have five tracks ready
for the thoroughbreds when racing
starts May 20. The addition of the
five-eights mile oval adjacent to
the stable area was of great inter-
est to horsemen, and became the
fifth strip in the setup at the big
400-acre plant.

Ventilation In Barns

Ventilation is one of the most i'm
portant factors in successful farm
ing, agricultural specialists empha-
size. They point out that dairy
barn ventilating fans, operated by
motors of a quarter or a half horse
power, should have capacity of go
cubic feet per minute per animal,
and that there should be one fresh
air intake for every four cows. Re-
commended for poultry houses are
fans, powered by 1-40 to 1-20 horse
power motors, with a capacity of
rs to 100 cubic feet per 100 birds
housed.

An artesian well is being driven
