SOCIETY MEET
Held Meeting in Presbyterian
Church School Room on
Monday Evening
REPORTS WERE HEARD

On Monday evening, October
31st, the Missionary Society of
the Fifst Presbyterian Church of
Smyrna met in the Church School
Room with Mrs. Lester Russell of
Clayton, president, presiding. Var
ious Committee Chairmen gave re-
ports on the progress of the work
of their committees. Mrs. Harry
Jackson reported that the hospital
gowns (part of this years sewing
assignment) were cut out and
ready for stitching and asked for
volunteers to finish them. Mrs.
owen c. Jones, Mrs. Elmer David,
Mrs. Harry Jackson and Mrs. Carl
Wright gave reports on their re-
cent attendance at Women's Pres
byterial meeting held in Milford.
Many helpful ideas were brought
back by these women as to ways
and means whereby work of this
society can be carried on and i'm
proved. Following the suggestion
of the Presbyterial it was voted
to do away with the collection of
set amount of dues at meetings
and to rely instead on free-will
offerings. In the future the col
lection plate will be passed at
each meeting and those in at
tendance can give whatever they
wish. The society shall be most
happy to receive contributions
from any of the women of the
church who are interested in the
work of the Presbyterian women
throughout the world. Following
the business meeting Mrs. Harry
Jackson gave a most interesting
talk on world Opportunities"

PLANNING FOR
COMMERCE ST.
Plans by Engineers Include
Road Layout, Profile and
Storm Drainage
STREET is MARKED

A long agenda faced the men,
bers of Smyrna Town Council at
the regular meeting Friday night
which lasted until midnight. Many
of the problems to be discussed
are concerned with the several
new developments for which SER
vices must be supplied by the
town, water, sewer, electric cur
rent, and streets. 1t was decided
that the Christmas lights on the
streets would be turned on Satur-
day, Nov. 26 and retain until Jan.
1. Permission was given the Ma
tional Guard unit here to use the
parking space in back Of the post
Office for one hour for drill on
Monday nights. Of probably the
greatest interest to residents is a
report on progress on the resur-
facing of Commerce Street. The
preliminary plans by engineers in
clude the road layout, profile, and
storm drainage. The limits of the
street have been marked with
white paint and it is planned that
the town will contact property
owners concerning street widening
where necessary. The center line
is marked with yellow markings
and the white horizontal lines on
street or pavement indicate the
limits. The design indicates one
hundred feet north and south on
Main Street will be paved. The
highway department win mark
the trees to remove for curbs.
Town Manager Rex d. Gilmore
outlined plans for work with a
bulldozer at the town dump which
will take care of the fire hazard
there by allowing dumping in the
middle of the space and road
space around. The recent fire re-
suited from spontaneous combus-
tion. Mr.. Gilmore will present
more figures at the next meeting
on the cost of advertising bill
boards for use at the north and
south entrances to Smyrna. He
will also contact roofing men to
take care of repairs to the roof
of Town Hall. Engineers have
presented plans for curb and gut
ter in the Cottage Dale Acres de-
velopment and the work will be
advertised within a week or so for
construction this winter. The
bonded Indebtedness of the town
was reviewed by Mr.. Gilmore ana
due to the vast expansion of the
town there is the possibility that
it may be necessary to float a
bond issue during the next year.
Mr.. Gilmore was authorized to ad-
vertise for bids for curb and gut
ter work in Cottage Dale Acres
as shown in drawing for CDA as
prepared by Whitman, Requart &
Associates dated Oct. 25. The costs
of this work will be paid for
by the property owners. A mo-
tion to request William Manter,
accountant, to prepare the town
audit for the fiscal year of 1855
was unanimously carried.

Freedom of Education

dren according to conviction and
choice"
A second way in which freedom
of education can be threatened is
by the indirect method of creating
conditions which would make il
virtually impossible for schools,
other than those operated by the
State, to continue to exist, the
Bishop said.
To illustrate his point, the pre-
late singled out moves to raise the
tax funds needed for public educa-
ton so high that only the very
rich could afford to pay them and
also send their children to private
schools, and to make unjust use
of such restrictive legislation as
zoning laws"
"In the circumstances of the
times" Bishop Shehan told the
Knights, lit is the particular duty
of Catholic citizens to exercise
their civic rights and to fulfill
conscientiously their civic obliga-
tions. This is their only means of
safeguarding freedom of education
so necessary to freedom of relig-
ion."

K. of c. Delegates
Urged to Action

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. - Knights
of Columbus gathered at their an
nual convention here were told
that freedom of education is un-
der attack in the United States
and that the situation calls for
Catholic men of intelligence and
integrity to fulfill conscientious
ly" their civic obligations.
Bishop Lawrence J. Shehan of
Bridgeport, Conn, sounded the
warning in a speech at the X. of
c. States Dinner, traditional ban
quet of the convention.
Among all the freedoms
which we in this country enjoy"
"the Bishop said, none is more
precious than that which assures
TO parents freedom OF choice in
fhe education Of their children"
But in recent years, he main
tanned, this freedom has been SUBJ
jected to "most frequent and most
subtle" attack on the grounds that
only to State schools can the re-
sponsibility of preserving Ameri-
can traditions be entrusted, even
though State schools had no part
in forming them, because these
schools did not then exist.
The week-long convention of the
73-year-old fraternal organization
was launched with prayer and
pageantry.
