self respect, keeping mentally and

Three rival area distributors for

aid of fourth competitor in Su-
perior Court on Friday of last
week IN the condemnation suit OF
the State Highway Department
against Carey d. Sapp of George
town
In spite of the title of the suit
the arguments were entirely over
the matter of compensation, since
the land has already been taken in
the Improvement by the state OF
North Bedford street, where a SER
vice station owned by Sapp is 10
Gated
After a day of testimony before
Judge Charles l.. Terry, Jr., the
case was continued until Tuesday.
Judgment will be made by three
man jury consisting of George T.
Reed, Jr., Milford; Henry b. Nit

Lord, Greenwood
The Sapp property in question
is on a "fatiron" point where the
Police Station Road meets Route
49," Only 113 square feet of land
was taken for the road work but
this amount was said by the oil
men to make the difference be-

Though the John NJ. Clayton
School, serving both this town and
Dagsboro. has advertised its April
referendum on a. proposed $780,
900 bond issue for construction at
the school, it doesn't mean that the
school district has abandoned its
desire for a central senior high
school with the Selbyville District.
Albert w. Adams, supervising
principal and clerk of the Board
of School Trustees, said that the
construction work is necessary at
once and would not be waste
should the senior union school la
Ger be constructed
The Selbyville and John NJ.
Clayton School Districts voted by
large majorities on February II in
favor of the central high schoO'
and passed on the official record
of the vote to the State Board OF
Education. However, the bill es-
lablishing central schools has been
tabled by the Legislature, and the
John NJ Clayton District saw no
relief in sight for its badly over
crowded situation.
Mr.. Adams said that the propos-
ed construction is required for the
junior high school which would re-
main at the two schools when a
senior high school for both might
be constructed.
The proposed bond issue was
previously defeated at a referen-
dunn, it being the concensus of op-
inion at the time that the defeat
was caused by the hope of the i'm
mediate construction of the central
senior high school.
Now that this high school is
still in the distant future, the gem
eral belief is that the bond issue
will be passed this time.
Included in the construction
work to be financed by the bond
issue are five classrooms, an in
dustrial arts shop, enlargement of
the cafeteria and cafeteria kitchen,
construction of a music room, re-
modelling of health room and Office
area, renovation of existing build
ing and equipment and furniture.
The $150,000 is the school dis
trict's apportioned share of the
1876, 900 cost of the construction.
The state would pay $225,000.

ST. PAUL LUTHERAN

The first of a series of three
sermons of Christian Stewardship
was preached last Sunday morn
ing in st. Paul Lutheran church,
| Carl c. Sunwall, pastor. Mr.. Ar
vid Leaf, secretary of Stewardship
of the church brought the mes
sage. He used the text for All
Saints Day which is a part of the
Sermon on the Mount.
He quoted from Matthew 5-l3,
"Ye are the salt of the earth. If
the salt have lost its SAVIOR, where
with shall it be sailed? II is
therefore good for nothing but to
be cast out and trodden under
foot"
He spoke of the value of salt. He
said that in ancient times ones
salary was often times paid in
salt. 2. II adde's flavor to our food.
3. Salt is antiseptic, wards off
infection. 4. II is a preservative
for meats and vegetables. So the
Christian must be pleasing to God
and man to prevent the spread of
sin and rottenness in the world.
II civilization is to be preserved
there must be more faithful Chris
ton living.
Mr.. Leaf announced that for the
year 1857, the members of the con-
gregation will not be asked to
make a promise of pledge for the
support Of st. Paul church. We
will be asked to exercise the Bible
way of giving which is, give as
God has prospered you. We have
drifted away from Gods program
of giving.
Mr.. Leaf thanked the congrega-
ton for faithful givers, not criti-
Ching the poor and widows who
always give generously and
prayerfully.
Mr.. Leaf called upon the con-
gregation to prove that we can
support the church by faith when
he quoted. Bring we the whole
1.-THE into the store house, that
there might be food in my house,
and prove me herewith, saith
Jehovah of hosts, IL / will not open
the windows OF heaven, and pour
you out a blessing, that there
shall not be room enough to re-
ceive it." Malachi $40.
Repentance is the need of the
world today. Evangelism is every
Christians duty. II we cannot go
we can give. First, they gave
themselves to the Lord. When they
had done this giving was no prob
lem. Many people think they do
not need God. We need to pray,
even as the Publican in the temple
prayed, God be merciful to me,
sinner"
Mr.. Leaf will continue his mes
sage on stewardship next Sunday
with the emphasis on, True
Riches and Eternal Values"
