HORNETS WIN
OVER DOVER
Jimmy Ford Drops in First
Field Goal for Smyrna to
Start Scoring
HARD-FOUGHT GAME

In one of the most exciting
games of the season the Smyrna
Hornets defeated the Dover Bull
dogs, 1896, Monday night on the
local court. Both teams fought
hard from start to finish, but Dow
er's rally midway through the con-
test failed to halt what appears to
be a Smyrna winning streak. Jim
my Ford, Smyrna forward, broke
the ice by dropping in the first
field goal from out past the foul
circle after about four minutes of
the first quarter had gone by.
Hastings started Dover rolling
shortly afterward by sinking foul
shot. Smyrna stayed ahead
throughout most of the first half
but Dover rally late in the second
period put Dover ahead, 1915, as
the half ended. Tie Hornets came
back strong after intermission and
surged ahead to stay for the re-
mainder of the game but the Bull
dogs refused to give up and only
few points separated the teams
during the third and fourth quart
ers. Good foul shooting accounted
for Smyrna's margin of victory.
Scotty Duncan, captain of the Dov-
er team, left the game on fouls
late in the fourth period. Ford
fouled out in the last two minutes
shortly to be followed by Ronald
Grier. High man for the winners
was Ford with IL points while
Thompson of Dover accounted for
IL. This is Smyrna's second vic
tory over the capital boys this sea-
son. The Hornets journey to Ches-
tertown tonight to take on he
strong Chestertown quartet. Mon
day night they meet Denton on the
Smyrna High School court. This
game is scheduled to get under way
at $50 pm. Both these games
promise to be ding-dong affairs
as both Chestertown and Denton
have been undefeated as of the
first of the week and tied for first
place in the Mar-Del League Cham
pionship race.

SEEK FUNDS IN
POLIO FIGHT
Unless People Provide Funds
Disease Cannot Be Fought
Adequately
3 CASES HERE IN 194S

The citizens of Smyrna are asked
to get in back of the campaign for
March of Dimes, which starts on
Friday, and give it active support.
Last summer the three local cases
of infantile paralysis cost in care
more than $1230 and the total col
lection in the March of Dimes To-
cally was $104, so it can be seen
that this town did not take care of
its own cases financially. AS re-
suit of the prevalence of the dis
ease in this country last year the
treasury of the National Founda-
tion for Infantile Paralysis is de-
pleted, and unless the people pro-
vide the funds this year the disease
cannot be fought adequately nor
the proper care given the potential
cases of next season. There is no
assurance that there will not be
more cases in Smyrna next year
than last, and we must be prepared
to take care of our own. Now is the
time to think of the future needs,
and also of the fact that three To-
cal children last year were treated,
with no expense spared, through
the generosity of those who do
not live in this community. When
the disease strikes the need is i'm
mediate. Let us provide now and
be ready for any emergency. Fifty
per cent of all funds raised are
used locally. Boxes will be placed
in all stores on Friday, and letter
campaign has been inaugurated by
William Kruchen, local chairman.
Those who wish to contribute may
send their checks to the treasurer,
Charles M. Gee, at the National
Bank of Smyrna, and have them
marked for use of infantile paraly-
sis, March of Dimes. The Smyrna
Lions Club sors tn e
drive here, and asks the support of
all of the people. A list of contribu-
tors will be published in The Snyr-
ma Times beginning next week.

WOMEN HEAR
BURKHOLDER
Senator BurkhOlder Addresses
Business WOman's Club at
The Paddock
TALKS ON LEGISLATION

Despite the slow start this ses-
sion, the state Legislature will be
one of the best sessions, it was pre-
dicted by Senator Paul Burkholder
in talk at the dinner meeting of
the Smyrna-Clayton Business and
Professional Women's Club on
Monday night at The Paddock.
Many items deserve the attention
of all citizens, the speaker stated,
and he expressed pleasure that the
people are government-conscious.
He urged being specific in attempts
to get legislation, and advised his
hearers to get in touch with their
own representative or senator, get
a copy of a bill, read and discuss
it, and do something definite about
it. This plan to influence legisla-
ton is more effective than a pill
grimage, according to Senator
Burkholder. Predicting that the
following items will have consider
alton at this session, but making
no prediction about what will be
done about any of them, he named:
improvement of the election laws,
which has been effected slowly
through the years; the welfare sit
uation, in which a movement prob
ably will be made to unity and CO.
ordinate all agencies; the labor
situation, in which it is hoped to
find a solution to some of the prob
lens and adjust differences between
labor and capital; education, the
main items to consider will be the
improvement of physical equip
ment, personnel, and added COM
pensation. He stressed that Child
rem are the greatest asset of the
state" The speaker agreed that
all these items are good, but they
will entail expense, and the needed
added revenue will have to be pom
dered. Senator Burkholder predicts
the efficient functioning of the
Legislature, and it is his belief
that the state will profit and move
forward. The speaker was intro
duced by Mrs. Oswald Denney,
who presided, and also reported on
her trip to Washington with the
state delegation of clubs, and her
attendance at the luncheon honor
ing Margaret Chase Smith, Sena-
tor from Maine, and also the con-
vening of the U. S. Senate.

HERCULES MAN
BEFORE ROTARY
Don Martin of Hercules Pow.
der Company Guest Speaker
at Rotary Meet
early LEGISLATION"

Don Martin, of the Hercules
Powder Company, Wilmington, was
the guest speaker at the Smyrna
Rotary Club last Thursday night.
He talked on the practices in at
tempting to write legislation in the
early history of our states. Citing
the case of a bill introduced in the
Indiana State Legislature in 1897,
which referred to a mathematical
problem, and if passed was to be
used exclusively in the public
school system of that state, he told
that the bill was referred to the
committee on canals and swamp
lands, afterward referred to the
committee on education. The house
passed the bill; the senate submit
ted it to the committee on temper
ance, a senator rose to a point of
order as to the lawful legislation
of mathematical problems, and
rallied support to table the bill in
definitely. Harry P. Jones respond
ed on behalf of the club to this
commentary on law-making in this
country. He also reminded the
of the on-to-New York
to attend Rotary Inter
national in June. Nelson Everhart
presided and Albert Newcomb, Sr.
was chairman of the program, and
also led group singing. Visitors
