Record Audience

The Chevrolet showing of new
1860 cars and trucks Friday

More people came to the gar

ever come to a viewing in pre-

that at least 500 were there.
At one time there were more
than $50 people in the show
room and shop looking over all
the new models. Much of this
interest was aroused by the Co.

Weekend TheftS
Solved By Police;
2 Juveniles Are
Held For Court

Smyrna police have investi-
gated breaking and entering at
four places in Smyrna, on Sat-
urday night, including Browns
Texaco Station, at Lake Como,
Bodley's Service Station and
Hanson's Tydol Station, both on
Route l3, and Mrs. Bakers Lun-
cheonette, Commerce Street.
Extensive damage was done to
all properties, estimated by po-
lice at $500 for the combined
places of business. The mer-
chandise stolen had a total val
ue of $3.50, and most of it has
been recovered by the local po-
lice. Two local juveniles have
been held by the police for Juv-
emile Court on four charges each
of breaking and entering. Due
to a backlog in the Juvenile
Court calendar the case will
probably be heard in about 3
weeks. Other action by the
Smyrna police included the ap-
prehension of Robert Clegg, R.
D. 4, Dover, who tried to out
run the local police who chased
him at high rate of speed in
Smyrna streets. At the time he
was doing greater than ninety

and at School Lane and Frazier
Streets he abandoned his car.
The police seized his car and
later apprehended him. He was
fined at local courts S25 for
reckless driving, and S25 for
speeding. Clegg had been und-
er surveillance as a hot rodder
and has been previously warn

Renovation Work
Totalling $4,000
Nears Completion
In Clayton School

An extensive renovation pro-
gram totaling $1,000 has been
completed this month at the
Clayton School. Work on the
project was initiated at the
close of classes last June and
continued through the summer
months. Included in the renova-
tions were repairs to the audi
torium gymnasium, cafeteria,
and classrooms. Biggest change
effected was in the combination
auditorium-gymnasium where a
complete face lifting" job tran
spired. New fiberglass acoustic
al ceiling was installed and all
walls and woodwork were re-
painted. Coleman F. Metzler,
principal, points out that Clay
ton is perhaps the only school
in the state with a floating
ceiling" This unique distinction
came about when workmen at
tached the new fiberglass mater
ial to a steel frame which ex-
tends from the old surface,
thereby forming a suspended
ceiling which seemingly floats
beneath the original one. Metz
Ter says the new material is
completely fireproof and reflects
much more light than the form
er substance. New green cur
tains and window draperies
complete the auditorium redec-
Grafton. Floors in the gymnasi-
um were also sanded and refin-
ished. Ceiling in It LA t i o n
amounted to $2,460, and the
purchase of curtains and drap-
cries totaled $2,062. Nesbitt
fill-lined radiators costing $4,-
200 were installed in eight
classrooms and seven adjoining
cloakrooms. Carpenters repaired
three exit doors and mended the
gymnasium floor before sanding
operations began. New locks
will be installed on all doors.
Cafeteria and kitchen walls and
ceilings also were repainted.
Payment for the summer i'm
provements has been allotted
from various school funds. Mon
ey amounting to $6,767 remain
ed in the fund for 1854 con-
struction. An additional $2,265
was appropriated by the state
for maintenance and repair. The
new addition at Clayton was
completed in the summer OF
1854. The original building was
constructed in 1880. Further
renovations, including modifica-
ton on the boiler and hot water
system, remain to be done.
