Proposal to
Light School Field

Zone of a series written by Super
intendent George w. Wright)
At recent meeting of the Board
of Education, approval of the pro-
posed building program was given
as a four az step project. The
first step to be the site, the second
to be the construction of an Ele-
mentary Building, the third the i'm
provements within the present
building, providing for an expan-
sion of the school program, and
fourth, the lighting of the Athletic
Field and providing bleachers
thereon.
The benefits through the fourth
objective in the expansion program
to be included in the proposed ref
erendum, the improvement to the
athletic field and particularly foot
ball through the lighting and
bleachering of the athletic field,
would be inestimable. Football,
added to the sports program dur
ing the past season, is an expen-
sive sport, and unless facilities are
provided for the playing of foot
ball games during the evening
when greater attendance can be
secured, it will be impossible to
continue through the years. The
greatest single factor in improving
attendance is having the facilities
to play games after the dinner
hour when the entire family will
have the leisure time to attend
these games. Many schools
throughout Delaware have recently
lighted their school field for night
football. Lewes and Delmar are
two such small towns.
The use of the athletic field dur
ing the summer period for soft ball
games by the community should be
encouraged and more of the COM
munity would have an opportunity
to enjoy these contests to be played
during the hours of darkness.
without question the lighting of
the field and the providing of
bleachers for the seating of some
two or three hundred people would
be a decided improvement in the
interests of the school and the
community. This project has been
fully approved by the Board of Ed
ucation as a part of the proposed
referendum to he submitted to the
voters during the month Of June.

LETTER
to the Editor

Last Saturday $50 Girl Scouts
and leaders from Kent and Sussex
Counties met at Smyrna for what
turned out to be very successful
rally. Noted by several of the Wis
iting leaders was the evident in
terest of the whole town in making
the affair a success. The local
leaders were conscious of this in
terest not only Saturday, but in
the preparations for the day as
well.
Without the cooperation of
many of our citizens it would have
been impossible for the leaders to
have carried out the event. We
wish especially to thank our Chief
of Police, Mr.. Jacobs, who SO ably
took care of our traffic problem,
our Town Manager and his crew
of men who worked to the last
minute getting the beach ready;
our mayor who sent greetings and
Councilman Everhart who express
ed them; Rev. Donald Parsons,
Mrs. John Fearon and Mr.. Richard
Price who participated in the pro-
gram; The Smyrna Times and Mrs.
Evelyn Webb who covered our
publicity; Mr.. Rutter who took so
many pictures; Mr.. Siekmann and
the Junior Band; the girl scout
mothers who assisted; and the
towns people who turned out to
see our Girl Scout Walk. We were
conscious that our town officials
and towns people felt it was i'm
portant for young girls organi-
zation to be cordially welcomed
and entertained as any adult or
ganization, such as the American
Legion or the Firemen's Associa-
tion.
Towns are like people, they have
good points and bad. AS individ-
uals we are inclined to gripe a lot
about the bad points.
Last Saturday we felt the good
points far outweighed the bad. We
were proud of "Our Town."

Tomorrow evening the citi-

first officers of the newly-or-
ganized Parent-Teacher Asso-
citation. These officers will
guide this lay group through
its first year, and upon this
first year will depend either
the success OF failure of the
PTA.
Therefore, it is important
that serious consideration be
given this election by all town.
folks interested in the PTA
and that all be sure to attend
the meeting and vote. The
primary function of the PTA
is to help the children of
Smyrna, and this is the first
step in that direction.
The hard work which is
promised by so many will be
of little value if it is not guild
ed into the most worthwhile
channels and this is part Of
the responsibility of your Of
ficers. Look for aggressive, re-
sourceful, capable, cooperative
and willing people to fulfill
these important positions.
But above all, attend the
meeting and show how much
interest and enthusiasm in the
PTA have grown even since
that first successful meeting
only ten days ago.

Paris Police Suppress
Red Riot, Arrest 120
By the Associated Press

PARIS, April 6. - Helmeted
police battled down a Communist
demonstration along the broad
Champs Elysees last night and
arrested 100 persons. The hour
long clash was described as the
most bitter in Paris since the end
Of the war.
Twenty officers were injured, six
seriously enough to require hospi-
tai treatment, under B. barrage Of
bottles, stones and cafe tables.
About $500 demonstrators and
1000 police are estimated to have
been involved. The police turned
up ready for trouble, aware that
the Communist leadership had
called a demonstration to protest
publication of the diary q a for
mer Nazi S. S. officer, Col. Otto
Skorzeny, in the Conservative
newspaper LIE Figaro.
Skorzeny, fugitive from de-
notification charges in West
Germany, recently was reported
in Paris.
About 10 policemen were in
jued last week in a similar, but
less riotous protest meeting at the
Figaro Offices.
A police Gordon kept the crowd
away from the newspaper last
night, but fights developed along
the Champs Elysees. Using night
sticks. and folded capes, police
battered the demonstrators back
into side streets to disperse them.
