Wen mince no words.
You can buy Buick SPECIAL like the one shown
here if you can buy any new car.
You can boss this big and brawny Buick Sedan
for just about the price of the smaller cars-even
for less than some models of the three most
widely known smaller cars. The price we show
here proves that.
But you can't get anywhere else for the money
what you get in this Buick, or any other new
Buick and that's something you really ought to
look into.
For Buick sales are soaring to all-time best
seller highs this year Just because more and
more people are discovering how much more
automobile their dollars buy In Buick than
the same dollars buy elsewhere.
They find Buick bigger package of sheer auto.
mobile for the money bigger in power thrill, in
stretchout comfort, in ride steadiness, in struc.
tural solidity.

Sussex Courthouse
Is Decorated

Santa Claus came to the county
courthouse on Tuesday with Christ
mas trees, elabOrately decorated.
appearing in the county offices.
Levy Court, after much discus
sion, distributed the monthly pay
roll on Tuesday instead of waiting
until the usual date of Tuesday,
December 9th. The monthly pay
checks to county officials and their
deputies, and other courthouse en-
ployes tOtaled nearly $4,000.
Levi S. Warrington, Seaford, pres
ident Of Levy Court, explained that
because county taxpayers money is
used, no Christmas bonus or other
special consideration could be Civ
en- county employees, and that it
had seemed the christmas" thing
to do to give them their pay in
time to buy gifts for their families.
''It will be long time until the
last Tuesday in January" he re-
marked.
The commissioners met with the
Board Of Assessors and with the ap-
praising firm employed by Levy
Court to conduct the complete re-
assessment Of all county property.
Mr.. Warrington said, however,
that the appraisal firm had not
completed any specific area in
detail to justify any public
announcement of changes.
He said that when the reassess-
ment is completed and announced
there will be ample opportunity
given for complaints and appeals.

Sussex Court News

Judge Isaac d. Short has rem
dered two not guilty verdicts in
cases previously tried in Court of
Common Pleas and in both Of which
he had reserved decision.
Wallace Smiley. Georgetown,
charged with pointing a rifle at
Constable Watson G. Cook, was
one Of those found not guilty. Ac-
cOrding to the outline of the story
given by Deputy Attorney General
Ralph S. Baker, at the time of the
trial, Constable Cook had gone to
Smiley's home near the town dump
to serve an eviction notice. Smiley
was said to have met him at the
door with the rifle and used abusive
language.
Through his attorney. Everett F..
Warrington, Smiley claimed that
he just happened to Rave the rifle
in his hand when he went to the
door and did not point it at Con-
stable Cook.
The other case in which decision
was rendered was the one oeea-
sionally referred to as the battle
OF the slsCer-in-laWs- Three women
from the laurel area, Mrs. Anna
belle Nichols, Mrs. Avis Serman and
Mrs. Winfred Wright, were charged
with assault on Mrs. Myrtle Vickers.
Milton.
According to the story unfolded
at the trial, the three defendants
are all sisters and the complaining
witness married their brother.
There was an argument first be-
tween one of the sisters and Mrs.
Vickers and the latter was sum-
moned before Magistrate J. Alton
Knowles in an attempt to place her
on a peace bond. While in the
Office, so the com |
plant stated, the three sisters at
2cked Mrs. Vickers.
