The hot days of August sent
many person to the mountains
or seashore. A terrific spell of
heat came near overcoming a lot
of people as they were seen stag
gering in the hot rays of the sun
during the extremely hot spell.
The hot weather had motor cars
moving to cooler places all day
long and many when they got to
cool spot, stayed there to keep
out of the terrific heat as long
as possible.
Spending day at Concord in
Sussex County, some of our resi-

all.
In the absence of the Rev.
Frank G. Buckley, who is away
on vacation, the pulpit at Imman-
uel Methodist Church on Sunday
morning was filled by the Rev.
L. B. Morgan, a retired minister
of Middletown. Rev. Morgan
Smyrna times., 1955-09-01

preached an able, forceful sermon
and his listeners gave rapt atten-
tion to his remarks. He chose for
his text the 26th verse of the
22nd chapter of st. Luke, saying
in part, "Give time a chance to
apply the soothing potion and a
wonderful result follows. Time is
also gracious to the little ones
and carries them to a clever and
safe reward. He also said the
healing power of time is wonder
full and helps out the human eff
fort beyond comparison. AS he
continued he said, People and
ourselves make a great change in
our lives. Time has changed ev-
erything including people. In most
cases time aids our recovery
more than any other agency.
There was a good attendance and
the sermon was much appreciat-
ed. The Rev. Tilghman Smith,
another retired minister living at
Middletown accompanied Rev.
Morgan on this mission and aided
with the service.
Railroad workers are said to be

are employed in making this big
change for future days of opera

In part he was rated as one of the

The rainbow of new auto

last week as to whether the

Whatever the optimism of

that the industry goes into
changeover period with
a peak dealer inventory OF
about 100000 vehicles.
The question is what will
happen t them? Can they be
sold at a profit? Will fantas-
tic discounts be necessary to
move them? Or will this he

It's up to dealers to put a

there is an invitation to re-
possession. RepoSseSson is
not good for dealer business.
And a four to five year pay
ment span pushes that Gus

long. 1t takes equity to trade
cars. Without equity there is
not the repeat business that
has been he industry's life
blood.
There is no intention here
of moralizing on the purchase
of car. 1t is merely rudimen-
tary to point out that econo-

perpetually on debt. Sometime
it has to be paid.
