ing damage in excess of $l00
during the month of June, as

sibility Division of the Motor
Vehicle Department. These rec
ords disclose that there was
total of 557 of these accidents
reported to the Division during
the month of June, as compared
with CAT being reported during
the same month of last year,
making decrease of 90 in the

Opposes Behen In
Primary Battle

Former Levy Court president
and commissioner Henry 7.
Price, of Smyrna, has filed as a
candidate for the Democratic
nomination for state senator
from the First Senatorial Dis
trict of Kent County, a position
presently held by William B.
Behen. MIR. Price, president of

has served two terms as Levy
Court Commissioner. The new
addition to the court house at
Dover was planned during his
period in office. He recently re-
tired from the Board of Educa-
ton of the Smyrna Special
School District after many years
of service. In announcing his
candidacy, MIR. Price will be at
tempting to follow in the foot
steps of his father, the late L.
M. Price of this town, who serv-
ed as a member of the State
Senate several years ago. A
primary for the Democratic
nomination from the First Dis
trict is assured inasmuch as the

Overhead Traffic
Sign To Appear
Soon On Route l3

The State Highway Depart
ment has completed plans for
the erection of an overhead sign
along US Route l3, at Tybout's
Corner for the purpose of di-
recting traffic to either the Nor
folk Ferry or the Chesapeake
Bay Bridge. The portion of the
sign which will be over the
southbound lane of Route I3
will have an arrow pointing
straight ahead and contain the
words Norfolk Ferry" with
'Dover" underneath it. To the
right, near the intersection with
Route II, the sign will read
"Bay Bridge, with Washing
ton" underneath it and the ar
row will point towards Route
II. The span containing the
signs will have an overhead
length of so feet and the height
will be Is feet above the high
way. The signs will have re-
flectorized white letters, arrows
and border on green reflector
lied background. Reliability of
the signs at night is accom-
plished by rejecting the rays
from the vehicle headlights back
toward the operator. The signs
are being installed as a result of
a study made by the Traffic Di-
vision of the State Highway De-
partment which indicated that
southbound traffic for the Bay
Bridge should travel via Summit
Bridge to Middletown and the
northbound traffic from the
bridge should proceed from
Middletown to Odessa and then
north on Route l3. The present
Delaware routes leading to and
from the Bay bridge are classed
as merely temporary, pending

Fall Completion Scheduled For
Elementary School Construction

Have everything ready for
September" is the key phrase in
the Smyrna Special School Dis
trict these days. Workers in all
phases of construction at the
Elementary School are moving
ahead to have things in readi-
ness for the return of boys and
girls this fall. 100000 is being
spent. Progress is in evidence
everywhere, but all planning
and construction have a deeper
significance. One may see daily
around him the problems which
face a forward looking com
munity such as Smyrna. In this
picture story one may see some
of the problems which schools
of such a community must face
and surmount. In the two top
pictures the finishing touches
are shown being put on the new
wing of the elementary school.
Yet, in the same set of pictures
we see construction in progress
for still newer wing with
more classrooms. In this meet
ing of the start and finish of a
school construction project, we
can observe at a glance the nev-
er-ending efforts of our school
system to meet the needs of
Smyrna's young folks. In the
top photos of the almost COM
pleted wing, the end of the road
is in sight. Only a few work
men are still on this part of the
operation. Doors are getting
their final fitting and trimming
from carpenters, as two men
lay asphalt tile in the last class
