would like to see building ccde

of buildings in certain areas. This
would put restriction on building
stables, chicken houses, etc. in GER
tain residential areas, whereas, as
it now stands, there is no law from
preventing a person from building
a stable or other such type of
building right on the Four Cor
ners. Playground facilities for
colored and white are in the plan
ing stage. DR.. Prickett is highly
in favor of a recreational center
for children run by various civic
organizations-but it must be with
planned program in advance for
its successful operation in future
years. There is no use in putting
up $4,000 recreational building

the sewerage situation, he wants
to see a system set up that would
reach all sections of the town,
thereby doing away with open
toilets. There is no use in having
perfect toilets in one section of the
town, and unsanitary, open ones in
another section" advises DR.. Pric-
kett. Under the present high cost
of operation this plan is financially
impractical but he and the Town

In a recent visit to the state
Welfare Home where I lunchel
with DIR. C. ]. Prickett was es-
pecially impressed by the feeling
of friendliness prevailing between
the doctor and his patients. was
also impressed by the apparent
smooth operation and cleanliness
of this institution of which DR..
Prickett has complete charge. He
seems to be ideally suited for this
great task and has been associat-
ed there since May, 1943.
DIR. Prickett, one of the most ac-
tive citizens of our Smyrna COM
munity, has a keen interest and
desire to do all in his power to
give to the Welfare Home, Smyrna
and his fellow citizens something
worthwhile that will last for years
to come. That is the very reason
he consented to be Mayor of tie
Town of Smyrna.
He was born in Fairmont, w.
Va, and graduated from the Uni
versity of West Virginia, from
there going to the old Medico
Chirurgical College in Philadelphia
which later was absorbed into the
University of Pennsylvania. In
1916 he married Marie Burke and
the two moved to Smyrna in 1925
where he has been a practicing
physician ever since.
At present, and combined with
all his other pressing duties and
responsibilities, he has managed to
spare enough of his time to act as
Smyrna Chairman for the Kent
General Hospital Drive and has
taken great interest in this capac-
ity. Along with other doctors and
surgeons in this area, DR.. Prick
EFT sees a great need for this ex-
pansion of our hospital in Dover.
Since 1885 he has been president
of the Smyrna School Board. He
belongs to number of medical So
cieties, notably, Secretary of the
Board of Trustees of the Delaware
State Hospital, Staff member of
the Kent General Hospital, men,
Der of the Executive Committee OF
the Delaware Cancer Society
which is connected with the Ma
tional Society, and past-president
of Delaware Medical Society. He
is member of the Asbury M. E
Church and vice-president of the
Fruit Growers National Bank
Also, he belongs to Union Lodge
No. z, A. F. and A. M, Delawar,
Consistery of Lulu Temple Shrine
AS Mayor, DR.. Prickett sees
many improvements to be accom-
plished. He says that the church
school and municipal affairs mus
be integrated to accomplish these
improvements. DR.. Prickett wants
to see a good, pure water supply
an adequate sewerage disposal, in
