The Board of Education of the
Smyrna Special School District
has announced the tax rate for
the year 1958-59 following a meet
ing on April 80. Last years rate
of 13 cents per $4,000 of assess
ed evaluation for current expenses
will remain the same; however,
there will be an increase in the
amount of tax needed for debt
service from 20 cents per $4,000
as set last year to so cents per
$4,000 for 195S-59 Capitation
rates will remain the same as last
year; two dollars for debt service
and one dollar for local funds. The
District is authorized to set the
current expense tax at 16 cents,

ment figures, The debt service

HONOR LATE
FIREMEN
Annual Memorial Servi C e
Held at Monument i'm
Dover Sunday
SMYRNA BAND PLAYS

Volunteer firemen have to fight
for the privilege of saving your
lives and property" the Rev. DR..
T. c. Mulligan, Georgetown, chap
lain of the Delaware Volunteer
Firemen's Association, said at the
ninth annual memorial service
held at the state firemen's monu-
ment in Dover on Sunday. 'They
have to plead with the Legisla-
ture for materials and means, as
paid lobbyists give distorted
facts" he said, adding that volun-
teer firemen are not paid for their
services. "They are not fighting
for anything but a preservation
of better way of life. Not only
do they fight fires, but also greed,
prejudice, fear, Illustration, and
doubt. They need faith in God,
the antithesis of doubt" He ask
ed that they 'be saved from liv-
ing on a small scale in a great
day." Special tribute was paid to
Leroy c. Lewis, Jr., Holloway Ter
race, who died in the line of duty
during the year, holding the SER
vice facing the side of the mon
ument on which the New Castle
names are inscribed. The father
of the young volunteer was pre-
sent for the service. Music was
furnished by the band of the Cit
liens Hose Company, Smyrna. The
invocation was by Harry Farrow,
chaplain of the New Castle Coun-
ty Association. Wreaths were
placed at the base of the monu-
ment by c. Wesley Robinson, state
president; Mrs. Marie G. Saund-
ers, president, state auxiliary; and
George D. Hill, Jr, president,
Robbins Hose Company, Dover.
Names of deceased members were
read by E. Reynolds Bradley,
state secretary; and Mrs Beatrice
Virgins, state auxiliary secretary.
Taps were played by Paul B.
Grier and Francis Finch, men,
bers of the band. The Book of
Remembrance was placed in the
monument by Paul Neeman, first
vice president, and James Wilgus,
second vice president. Remarks
were made by Mrs. Saunders;
Mrs. Joseph Brown, New Castle
County president; Mrs. Virginia
