The crying need in Smyrna at
the present, time is help. Our in
dustries are filled up with orders
which they are unable to turn out
promptly owing to an inslf1ciency
of help which does not seem to be
available. Tucker & Thornley's
overall factories in Smyrna and
Clayton are hard pressed at the
present time to get their orders
made up and they are advertising
for operators. At present they
have employed at the Smyrna
plant As and the Clayton IL. They
can easily take on 25 more op-
orators at each factory.
Miss Fannie B. Jones, daughter
of Charles Jones Of this town is
the happiest girl in Smyrna at the
present time. AS the result of a
soc chance on a celebrated horse
raffled Off in Dover yesterday,
she was the lucky winner of "Ef-
derone" the fast bay gelding, by
Box Elder, then 2.051s and winner
of the $1,000 race at Columbus,
o., in 1908. ''Elderone" is a hand
some animal, six years old and 16
hands high. The horse was
chanced off at a half dollar per
chance.
Matters are still progressing
along the trolley line and by an
other week it is hoped the survey
will be complete and application
made for charter. The organiza-

The intelligence was dispatched
to Smyrna early Monday morning
announcing the death of DIR.

OTHER OFFICERS

Sixteen year old Richard Reed,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles H.
Reed, of Walkers School Road,

administrative capacities are Judy
Passmore, vice president; Ronnie
Stevens, secretary-publicity chair
man; Joan Stevens, treasurer; and
Betty Jean Lefer, permanent re-

a popular one among his club
members. They have watched him
progress during the past few
years, serving in the capacities of
treasurer and Junior Council del
egate. He has been an active
member for five years and has
repeatedly .excelled in the poultry
project. For his efforts in this
field Reed was named the state
Delaware Poultry Improvement
Association (DPLA) winner in
1854. This past year young Reed
was awarded an expense-paid trip
to the National All Club Con-
gress in Chicago. Miss Passmore,
although beginning only her Sec
ond year of club work, possesses
outstanding leadership character
istics. Her participance in many
school activities, including the
Drama and Personnel Clubs, has
aided in the development of these
abilities. For the fifth consecu-
tive year Ronnie Stevens was
elected secretary-publicity chair
man. A sixth year member and
freshman at the University of
Delaware, Stevens also serves the
club as Junior Leader. Both

able to display his great

year. Perhaps Larry might
catch fire against the CRU
saders. Or perhaps again we
shall have to wait until his

had other sepia stars like
Herb McKenley and Gil Walk

most beloved B. G. star of

gomery who sacrificed his ALL

as no other player has before

days of bigotry, not too long
ago. B. C. fans never forgot
Lou, and even helped him
launch his own Semi-pro team
which played at Dilboy Field
and other parks in the state.
He now has a good job. Here's
hoping Larry Plenty will leave
B. C. with as impressive a

Larry still has a chance, and
with good health and incen-

Social Security
Benefit Payments
For Women 62-65

Under the 1856 amendments
to the Social Security Act, $50
women in Cambridge between
the ages of 81 and SIS are now
eligible for Old-Age and Sur
vivors Insurance payments, ac-
cording to an estimate of the
Cambridge District Social Sc
curity Office. $50 of these
have already filed their APP
plications and may expect to
receive their first checks in
December.
The law has been written so
that those who file at any
time within the next year may
still have their benefit pay
ments retroactive to November
1854.
Heretofore there has been a
uniform age at which benefit
payments could start for all
beneficiaries other than chill
dren and wives or widows
with children in their care.
That age was IS; it remains
for male beneficiaries. The
1856 amendments to the law.
however, lower the age at
which women can start get
ting payments at age So.
Widows will get the same
monthly benefit that they
would have started to get at
age IS under the old law.
Wives of retired insured
workers and retired insured
working women can, If they
choose, start getting benefit
payment at age 81. However.
the monthly benefit amount
payable to them will be some
what less than the amounts of
the benefits they would have
received had they waited until
age 65.

MEDFORD

The widening Of the histor-
lc Mystic River from the Up
per Lakes, clear to the ocean
at Boston Harbor is now I'M
derwsy with good and bad
effects. The good result will
be a wider basin for flood
control, plus a new, wider,
unhampered gate-way-to-the-
sea for our increasing boat
owners.
Fishing will probably be
much better as well as swim
ming. And the result may also
be cooler summer breezes up
from the ocean. There is
even some talk of local boat
owners sailing direct to the
Cape, or at least to sites of
deep sea fishing, or pleasure
cruising, opening a new wide
world to our former landlub-
Der community. All of which
remains to be seen.
That which can be seen,
however. is. another slicing
down of the local park, a
matter which we have pre-
scented to the City Manager.
Either another park site
may be the solution, or we
will have a limited park for
youngsters while utilizing
Playstead Park for our major
sports. The local park area
is still said to be due for fur
ther cuts II a proposed high
way goes through.
Once again we can blame
ourselves for not having a
local nom partisan civic club
as do our italian friends in

what is happening here un-
til 1t is well underway and it
is our own fault.
Incidentally our Italian
friend, Alexander Celia of 25

House as representative. Mr..
Celia was the gentleman who
