The regular meeting of the
Smyrna Board of Education was
held on Wednesday, April 30, with
all members present. The finan-
cial report submitted for the
month of April showed expendi-
lures in state funds of S36, ,904 .05
with a balance of S99, 9,185.05.
S347.40 was spent from delayed
repair moneys and S745.50 was
expended during the month from
the local taxation account. No ex-
penditures were made during the
month from the debt service ac-
count, and this account showed a
final balance of S24198. A review
of the cafeteria income and ex-
penditures showed this fund to be
running in the black this year;
however, a number of items of
equipment are needed which will
reduce the present balance.
Administrators Rehired
The board renewed the con-
tracts of George V. Kirk, super
intendent; Charles v. Williams,
high school principal; Mrs. Julia
Slaughter, elementary school prin-
cipal; and Willis E. Powell, Thom-
as D. Clayton School principal.
The contracts of the school nurs-
es were renewed with Mrs. Clara
Sparr as full-time, and Mrs.
Charlotte Robinson as part-time.
The board set Monday, May 10,
as the date for tax assessment
appeals. The school board must
use the amounts shown in the
tax assessment lists compiled by
the county tax assessors of New
Castle and Kent Counties. The
board asked the secretary to write

lative to the Leipsic pupils of

POLIO CLINIC AT CLAYTON
Residents Warned to Fortify Now
for Coming Season with Shots

lOT oCehBOh WIN AAhONo
Third shot polio clinics are con-
tinuing in the area, as Delawar-
cans fortify themselves against
the coming polio season. Perman-
ent polio protection requires the
full series of three Salk shots.
The clinics are being held to in
sure that Delawareans having
won the battle for a safe, effec-
tive vaccine, do not lose the bat
tie against polio itself. They are
sponsored by the Medical Society
of Delaware, The Delaware Chap
ter of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis, and the
State Board of Health, with vac
cine purchased with state funds.
Especially designed for adults,
they stress the fact that over half
of Delaware's polio victims in re-
cent years have been over 15
wears of age. Local health auth
critics say that every person un-
der As years of age should obtain
the polio vaccine either from his
family doctor or through the free
public clinics. A clinic is sched-
uled at the Clayton School on
Wednesday, May IA, $50 to 7:30
pm. On Saturday, May 10, from
9 to II am, the clinic will be at
the Kent County Health Unit, 414
S. State Street, Dover.

MODERN
MANNERS
There's No Time Like the Present
To Check Up on Calling Cards.
BY CAROLYN HAeNER SHAW

writing "Mr." on the wife's
single card. or to send a
single card of each.
A widows card is engraved
in exactly the same manner
as when her husband was
alive. A divorce should use
her maiden surname and her
former husbands surname.
MRS. Smith Brown"
After Graduation
A young girl should use
her full name, preceded by
the prefix Miss" upon her
graduation from high school.
The same rule holds for the
placing of Mr." before a
young mans name. Don't
forget the address in both
cases.
It is to be remembered
that it is extremely bad form
to ever use a social calling
card for business purposes,
and to use a business card
for social calling is in
excusable.
Special note: If you expect
to use your calling card for
invitations be sure that the
envelopes you order measure
at least 294 inches by 4
inches, or more. While these
will be large for the calling
card itself, they will be
necessary to comply with a
new ruling that has been
handed down by the Post
ONCE Department. Other
wise they will land IN the
dead letter Office. Actually.
this ruling does not go into
effect until July l, 1859, but

With the fall social season
practically upon US, 1t might
be wise to do a little checking
up on how you stand with re-
gard to your calling cards.
But you don't pay calls, you
sayl Regardless Of this fact,
a calling card can be very
useful. Its original purpose
that it be left as evidence Of
one persons visit to the home
Of another, has been greatly
broadened today. Now 1t is
also used to enclose with gifts
or flowers, to let friends know
Of a change Of address. or for
the sending and answering Of
informal invitations such as
those for cocktail parties. teas
and informal luncheons.
So whether one pays formal
calls or not, they are a very
valuable social asset.
There are certain correct
forms that should be followed
when ordering your cards. To
begin with. they should al
ways be engraved. never
printed. The full name should
be given. Initials are only
considered proper where the
name is too long for one line,
including the customary
margin. The fact that the
main purpose Of the card in
the first place is to identify
should not be overlooked. II
you bear a title, be sure to
place 1t thereon.
Use Full Name
A married woman's card
should contain the full name,
Mrs. John Phillip Proper"
In our Nations Capital it is
most important that the ad-
dress appear in the lower
right hand corner. If the ad-
dress is a temporary one, it
is correct to handwrite it.

Meanwhile. the United States
was reported about ready to
launch a cautious campaign for
friendlier relations with Egypt's
President NasSer.
Secretary of State Dulles Is
reported to have approved tho
moves with the understanding
that Mr.. Nasser will have to
match them with friendlieI
steps of his own in order to pro-
mote a step by step thawing oi
