At a meeting of Smyrna Town
Council Friday evening, it was
decided to take up the matter
of street and pavement work
and push it vigorously between
now and the late fall weather.
The time limit on the 30-day
notices recently issued has ex-
pired and Council is determined
that the work shall be done.
With this in view, the Street
Committee, John P. Hudson
chairman, was authorized to
proceed with the work and take
the various properties up as
deemed expedient. This work
will include the walk, gutter,
and combining front of the Cats
lot on the west side of Main
Street from Hamilton's Lane to
the Lake. Councilman Hudson
reported that the ladies had of
fered to put a public drinking
fountain at the enclosure a.
round the standpipe, similar to
the concrete fountain recently
installed at the four corners,
if Council would agree to con-
meet them with the sewer. This
matter was discussed and it
was urged that they select some
other place than the center of
the street owing to the small
space now left for teams to
turn around. Council had no
objections to granting the SER
vice if some more convenient
place was selected. Councilman
Hudson will have a conference
with the ladies and report.
Asbury M. E. Church was
well filled Sunday evening to-
hear the special musical pro-
gram prepared by Rev. w. D..
Parry, pastor. The choir sang
two fine anthems, solos were
rendered by Miss Mary Roberts
and Mr.. j. E. Hoffecker and an
organ selecten of high skill was
well rendered by Mrs. w. D.
Parry and Mr.. L. M. Price that
was well received. Pastor Parry
gave a short address on Music
and its Relation to the Church.
The service was one of the
most enjoyable of its kind Civ
en- this summer.
Saturday was a happy day
for the school children of Jer-
man Chapel, when an all-day
outing was spent in the grove
at Walkers school house. The
management supplied plenty of
teams and the children got an
early start. The weather con-
ditions were fine and children,
teachers, and pastor mingled

we are of the opinion that such
petition should be granted with
some limitation.
"The petitioner at the two
hearings indicated that it would
be willing to lease a portion of
Cedar Swamp amounting to
some six hundred or more acres
for an extended period of time
for use in wildlife conservation
as the petitioner did not have
an immediate plan for using
this section. 1t was also indi-
Gated at the hearings that this
same area of land was prob
ably the most important part
of the whole area in terms of
its contribution to wildlife. Fur
thermore, this particular piece
of land is considerably removed
from the proposed site of the
refinery itself. Therefore, it is
felt that this particular area
should not be included in the
area rezoned for industrial de-
velopment.
with respect to the larger
area sought to be rezoned it
is our opinion that this should
be granted for a number of
reasons. We feel that the area
in question is potentially prime
industrial land. The present
question is primarily one of
whether or not this area should
be industrialized in the near fu-
ture by the present petitioner
or whether it should be indus
trialiZed at a later time in some
other fashion.
THE unemployment situation
in Delaware has recently, on
occasion, been critical. We can
not help but feel that the re-
finery proposed by petitioner,
together with the complex of
allied industries which will un-
doubtedly develop around it,
would be a stabilizing factor in
the employment picture in the
immediate area, New Castle
County and the State of Della
ware.
"Of concern to the Levy Court
Commissioners, as well as to
many other people in the State
of Delaware, has been a ques-
ton of whether or not a refin-
cry in this area would result in
the pollution of the air and wat
er to the detriment of the peo-
pie in the area, and wildlife
both near and far. The State
of Delaware does have state
agencies that have both the re-
sponsibility and duty to pre-
vent such pollution. We must
assume that they will perform
their appointed duties. Further
more, testimony presented sat-
isfactorily indicated that mod
ern methods of plant installa-
ton and maintenance are avail
able to prevent the occurance
of such pollution. Furthermore,
this particular petitioner has
amply demonstrated that it not
only can install such facilities
but has already done so in an
other location. 1t is noteworthy
with respect to the pollution
problem that the great majority
of the people in the immediate
area appear to favor the re-
quested zoning change.
] In conclusion, we are con-
strained to continue to follow
policy of the Levy Court with
respect to zoning petitions,
which has been followed for
some time; that is, to accept
the recommendations of the zon-
ing commission except in such
instances where there are clear
and compelling reasons to do
otherwise. With respect to this
petition the zoning commission
recommended that it be grant
| ed. We also concur that the
petition should be granted with
the exception of the area ex-
cluded as heretofore described
and for the reasons stated"

1t is quite as dramatically con-

remarkably limited choice of
destination, the next bar or

| Philippe's hero in the Dupont
film is projected as less than
figure of total rejection. If
his pictures did not sell, he was
nevertheless the object of a
warm solicitude on the part
of the few who recognized his
exceptional personality. A va

withered concierge of his shah

In their several ways. they
stood ready to help, but with
one exception. They always
found Modigliani beyond their
power to help. The exception
was that of Jeanne Miss

love stood firmly between the
artist and the death he courted.
