The 10 per cent increase in
Smyrna times., 1952-12-04

The Smyrna Town Council met
in regular session last Friday even
ing with all present except Coun-
cilmen Moore, Wright and Rey-
nolds. Secretary Anthony sug-
gested that the members give some
thought and consideration to the
improvements to be made to the
electric light plant and if the town
wished to borrow money, some ac-
tion should be taken toward get
ting things in shape to rush
through the Legislature soon after
it convenes. A new 60 K dynamo
may be installed at cost of $1100
or $1,000 and this with the new
feed water heater just installed is
thought to be sufficient to put the
plant in good condition.
With the change of the time
table of the Delaware Division,
which went into effect Monday
morning, a new train service was
installed. This new train coming
south arrives at Clayton at $3.50
am. about the same time that No.
90 goes north, and this has made
it convenient for the Smyrna
branch to meet both, but on the re-
turn of the new train which passes
Clayton at 1:34 in the afternoon,
the railroad company sees fit to
leave Smyrna out and have given
no orders for the Smyrna Branch
to connect. A train going north
right after the noon hour would be
one of great convenience to the
Smyrna people and naturally there
are protests being made from
every quarter.
Next Wednesday, the 28th An
nual Session of the Teachers In
stitute of Kent County will con-
vene at the Smyrna Opera House
for three days session. The oc-
casion will be one of interest to
the people of Smyrna as well as

At a meeting of the Smyrna
Business Mems Association at the

plans were furthered for the Yule-
tide season soon to be celebrated.
A committee was appointed con-
sisting of ]. C. Mannering, Clifford
Jones and B. Franklin Middleton
to have the strings of red and
green Christmas lights put up in
the business section of Commerce
and Main Streets. David c. Har-
rison Post, No. IA, American Leg
ion of Smyrna, it was reported,
will furnish the Community Christ
mas tree to be erected in the place
of the traffic light at the Four Cor
ners. 1t is the purpose to have the
lights strung and turned on Satur-
day, December II.
Mr.. and Mrs. E. H. Donovan,
Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Deakyne,
Mr.. Benjamin Hurlock, were those

Milk Producers Association at
Elks Hotel, Philadelphia. E. H..
Donovan, Smyrna's well-known
farmer, was reelected a director
from Delaware and new director
elected was H. w. Cook of New
Castle County near Wilmington.
Smyrna's water tower, better
known as the stand pipe, situated
on west Commerce street, near the
Smyrna r. R. Station, has receiv-
ed a fresh coat of paint inside and
out. The inside was painted with
special paint in order to preserve
it from rust and leaks, and the
outside of the standpipe is being
painted aluminium, a hard wearing,
weather resisting paint. On each
side of the standpipe going to and
from clayton big letters SMYRNA
are being painted in black to ad-
vertise Smyrna to the travelling
public.

Gamma Club Meets
With Mrs. Rucker

The Gamma Literary Club met
Thursday, October %, in the
home of Mrs. w. R. Rucker with
very interesting program pre-
scented by the literature, educa-
ton and guidance committee,
Mrs. A. M. Stonestreet and Mrs.
S. J. Hermann were chairmen.
The program was introduced
by Mrs. Stonestreet as she read
a tribute to artists and asked club
members to note that October
18th was Poets Day. Because of
this she requested every club
member to write an original poem
to be read at roll call.
Many clever poems were read
and this part of the program prov
ed to be very amusing. Miss Ca
mile MCCULLOUGH gave the Tooth
Psalm as a reading for the devo.
tional. Afterwards, the club
members were asked to bow fol
a silent prayer which was con.
cluded by a short prayer by Mrs
Stonestreet.
The program was highlighte6
by a book review, Courage Is
