NEW YORK, March 20-The po-
litical turmoil in Indonesia has
caused European buyers of copra
and coconut oil to turn for these
products to the Philippines, the
New York Journal of Commerce
reported today.
In the past European purchasers
have been accustomed to get a
large part of their coconut prod
ucts from Indonesia, while the
United States has bought all it's
copra and coconut oil from the
Philippines. Diversion of large
Philippines supplies to Europe has,
therefore, contributed to a tight
supply situation in the United
States market.
This situation had already ex-
listed to some degree as a result
of this seasons severe droughts in
the Philippines. which cut down on
the coconut crop.
Copra in the us. has shown a
SO rise in the past week, and COCO
nut oil, now quoted at lac a pound
on the West Coast. has shown a
7sc rise.

RECORD STORM
BLASTS AREA
Seasons Worst Snow Blank.
cts Smyrna and Paralyzes
Local Communities
RURAL AREAS ISOLATED

Smyrna and surrounding areas
were dealt a staggering blow over
the weekend as a wind whipped
storm buried northern Delaware
under a 1912 inch blanket of
snow. Weather bureau officials re-
ported it to be the worst Febru-
airy storm experienced by the
state in over so years. Many mo-
florists abandoned cars on drifted
streets and roads as traffic was
virtually paralyzed and residents
of the community encountered the
worst road conditions of the win
ter. Members of the town crew
worked long into the night Sat-
urday to clear snow-filled streets.
Snow began falling in Smyrna
shortly before noon on Saturday
and increased in intensity as the
day progressed. Weathermen pre-
dicted that nearly an inch-per-
hour fell during the height of the
storm. Snow removal workers
were hampered in their operations
by the relentless wind blasts which
drifted snow back to sections that
had already been cleared. Town
and state police reported numer-
our skidding accidents. Many in
dustrial and business plants and
offices were closed to all activity
as were the Smyrna, Clayton, and
other local schools. Church SER
vices were cancelled. Most second
airy roads were made impossible
by the high drifts and were not
opened until Monday and Tues
day. Some areas still remain iso-
lated Temperature drops to zero
have added to the woes of road
crews. The frigid mercury has re-
manned below freezing throughout
the past week. Police officials have
issued a standing warning to mo-
florists to continue driving with
extreme care and caution as many
roads remain dangerous. Residents
living along the Delaware River
and Bay coasts have reported
large chunks of ice washed ashore
from the ice-choked waterway
Cleanup and removal operations
continue to be made at this writ

SCHOOL OPEN
FOR NEW BIDS
Officials Urge Expansion as
Solution to Increased En-
rOllment Problems
NEW GYM INCLUDED

Officials of the Smyrna Special
School District have announced
their intentions to receive bids on
March 5, 1858 at 4:30 pm. for
construction of certain additions
to both elementary and high
schools. All the work will be I'M
der three single contracts, one for
each project. The building pro-
gram calls for classroom addi-
lions, and a multipurpose room
addition for the elementary school,
the construction of a gymnasium
for the high school and the con-
struction of a shop building for
the high school, Copies of plans
and specifications are on file with
E. William Martin, architects, $50
West Street, Wilmington; Dodge
Reports, Arch ST., Philadelphia;
and Building Congress and Elk
change Service, Charles st. Balti-
more. All of the building plans
have been reviewed and approved
by the Delaware School Auxiliary
and the State Board of Education.
Classroom additions will relieve
the crowding resulting from in
creased enrollments. There are
about SO pupils in each of the
first grade classrooms this year.
1t is planned to have four sec
tions next year of grade two to
relive this condition, and add adj
ditional sections as soon as the
new classrooms are constructed.
The addition of gymnasium and
two-area industrial arts shop is
required to adequately care for
increased secondary enrollments.
During the past six years sec
ondary enrolment has increased
more than 200 pupils, a 60 per
cent increase. An evaluation by
the Middle States Association re-
quires the local district to take
steps to add certain facilities if
it wishes to remain accredited.

HELP CONVEY DOCTORS

Members of A Battery, a unit
of the 10th Battalion, Delaware
National Guard, Smyrna went to
the rescue of an expectant moth
er Monday afternoon. Mrs. Char

National Guard tank from her
home seven miles east of Smyrna
on Bay View Road to the home
of her husbands parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Kinsey on Dupont
Parkway near Smyrna. The fam
lily was cut off by drifts from six

sey and the children to Smyrna,
from where it will be possible to
convey her to Kent General Hos
pital, Dover, when necessary. DR..
Harold ]. Laggner is the attend
ing physician. To make matters
worse, the telephone was out of
order at the Kinsey home and
part of the time there was no
water supply due to weather con-
ditions. The young husband, Char
les, managed to reach a neigh
boris phone and reported to his
family and authorities. He is I'M
able to leave home due to the
fact that he has herd of dairy
cows to take care of in the adj
verse weather conditions. The loo
al group of National Guardsmen
were alerted Monday with enough
men standing by to operate neces-
sary equipment for medical ser
vices and emergencies, according
to 1t. Col. Niles, who was in

old-Time Atmosphere Created BY
Horse-Sleigh Activity

The merry sound of sleigh bells
was heard on Main Street, Smyr-
ma Sunday afternoon, and many
young children were pulled on
their new Christmas sleds by
their parents as Smyrna expert
enced the worst February storm
since 1899, along with the entire
state and a large part of the ma
ton. A ten-inch blanket of snow
driven by 43 mile an hour winds
covered the state on Saturday and
Sunday. The relentless winds piled
snow back on streets and high
ways and made the heating of
homes difficult. The sleigh, which
lent the atmosphere of past days
to the scene, was driven by Shell
by Harrington and several Smyr-
ma residents had the fun of rid
ing behind the horse, with the
gay sound of sleigh bells ringing
out to remind children of q. by
gone time when Main Street was
the site of races by the young
sportsmen of the town.
