the chance for the towns citizens

icism. The interest shown in this

FOR
KOREA DRIVE
Girl Scout Drive Here Satur,
day Far Exceeded Hopes
of Leaders
ALL TROOPS AID

The response by townspeople in
both Clayton and Smyrna in the
drive for Clothing for Korea con-
Quoted last Saturday by members
of all Smyrna-Clayton Girl Scout
troops far exceeded the hopes of
the scout leaders. One entire room
at the Youth Center is packed with
the clothing and contributions are
still coming in. Anyone wishing
to contribute more clothing may
leave it at the Youth Center The
town of Clayton contributed large
ly to the success of the project,
with the work there being done by
Brownie Troop 141 and Intermed-
late Troop 211. The scouts, under
direction of their leaders, made a
door to door canvass, using sleds
and express wagons to haul the
clothes to certain collection points.
Mrs. Richard w. Comegys, -Sr., as
! sisted with the use of a station
wagon and Mrs. Richard G. Price,
using a car. Scout leaders are
happy and pleased with the large
additional contributions of soap,
pencils and other small articles to
be sent with the clothes, made by
several residents who had no
clothes to give. The leaders are
also pleased that so many persons
followed the suggestions to place
gifts in the pockets. The fine con-
dition of the clothing, many artic-
les in cleaning bags with the clean
ers tag still on, makes the project
still more successful and shows the
real interest of residents in the
worthy project. On Saturday four
scouts from each of the eight
troops will sort and pack the
clothes at 1890 o'clock. They will
then be sent to New York to the
American Relief for Korea Asso-
citation. Smyrna troops participat-
ling included Brownie Troops 213
and 81; intermediate Troops 212,
55, and 214; and Senior Troop 101.
The gifts by several organizations
of clothing which had been given
them for sale were greatly appre-
ciated by the scouts and are here
by acknowledged with thanks.

MANY MATTERS
FACE COUNCIL
Several Ordinances and Re-
quests Discussed by Town
Council Friday
PLAN FOR ELECTION

A varied agenda faced the men,
bers of Town Council at their
meeting on Friday night, with
Mayor Hurd presiding and Coun-
cilmen George Blendt, Richard C.
Price, and William Stats attend
ing. Office manager Clifford Jones
was also present. Among the mat
ters discussed were reports on
properties which are considered

from sidewalks and its enforce
ment. Also, the re-investment of
United States treasury bills for
three months. The installation of
new fire plugs at Four Corners is
awaiting more favorable weather,
and the arrival of two new plugs
to be used. There was a lengthy
consideration of the matter of re-
quests by residents for street
lights on New Street, which had
been passed on favorably several
months ago by council. This mat
ter and the need for transformer
on Hamilton Lane will be placed in
the hands of James Warren, fore
man of all town crews. Consider

Wilson Graham for sewer or
Fisher Street, but no action was
taken. Mayor Hurd and Mr.. Blendt
reported on their investigation OF
the request by a citizen for the
town to remove a treet on High
Street, about which there is g
controversy as to whether the
tree is on the property of the own.
er or IN the street. This will be
given further study.
