Smyrna Bills
Enter Senate

A bill submitted to the State
Senate on Monday was one to
permit the Town of Smyrna to
extend its boundaries by refer
endum. The bill actually is a
substitute for a previously in
troduced measure that would
have permitted extension of the
limits by referendum or petit
ton. This paves the way for
Incorporation of the state well
fare home into the community
proper, explained Senator Hen
ry Price who introduced the
bill. This is necessary so that
other outlying sections, which
have expressed an interest in
being included in the corporate
limits, may be made part of the
town. The bill, however, does
not permit town to take on
new territory except by contigu-
Gus annexation. This means that
Smyrna could not reach around
the welfare home to extend its
limits. Also introduced by Sen
ator Price was a bill to permit
Smyrna City Council members
to fill vacancies in their organ
iZation.

Interest Stimulated at J.B.M. Evening

The enthusiasm and interest
in the adult evening classes in
Spanish conducted at the John
Bassett Moore High School is
evidenced in the desire of the
members that they be continu-

change teacher from South Am
erica, a class for beginners and
one for advanced students were
started early in February. Theo-

the venture, according to MIR.
Parsell. The classes represent a
varied group, including teach
ers, travellers, business men,
housewives and mothers, two
grandmothers, and a politician.

area, including Milford, the
Smyrna area, and west to Ga
lena, Md. Four women taking
