With the opening of first good
spring weather, John P. Hudson
resumed work begun last Fall
to raze the old besket factory,
known in former years as the
old Warden Mill and later Is
chudy & Cats Basket Factory.
For several years the mill has
been practically idle and having
no purchaser for it, MIR. Hudson
has conceived the idea that this
old mill site which takes up
nearly a block, corner of Com
merce and Pearl streets, will
make valuable building lots.
While row of nice houses will
add very much to the appear
ance at that end of town, there
are many who regret seeing this
old factory torn down. Smyrna
needs all the industries it has
and more too, without seeing
any such properties sacrificed.
MIR. Hudson, it is understood,
has made no difinite plans. The
frame work of the old mill is
nearly razed and when the tall
brick chimney and brick foun-
dation is torn down and the
ground cleared, then will be
time enough to fix on improve
mentS to be made.

ton with the Town of Clayton,
has been declared a success by
Mayor Roy F. Corley, chairman
of Smyrna Civilian Defense
Council. The opinion as ex-
pressed by Mayor Corley, rela-
tive to this second test, is shar-
ed by all members, of the De-
fense Council who have been
contacted. Committee Chairmen
were more enthusiastic than
ever to find ways and means to
reach an ultimate goal of per-
fection in the functioning of
their individual departments, Al
though the mobilization and
position drill was held during
a steady down-pour of rain, pre-
arranged plans were carried out
as formulated. The spirit dis
played by Civilian Defense
workers was in no way retard-
ed by the unreasonable electri-
cal storm which visited Smyrna
just as the air raid warning
signals were sounded. Smyrna
Civilian Defense Council ap-
pointed a special committee
consisting of three members to
consider, in full detail, the ques-
ton of messenger service. This
committee consists of the fol-
lowing persons: John w. JAG
obs, Jr., ]. Wells FAIRIES, Mrs.
Grant Garis. In the future, when
air raid warning signals are
sounded, either for tests or for
actual raids, the whistle at the
State Welfare Home will be
blown along with the usual fire
siren signal from the Citizens
Hose Company building. 1t is
thought that this new method
will effectually convey warning
to all residents of this particu-
lar area. In response to a reso-
luton passed by Smyrna Civil
ian Defense Council last week,
as of Tuesday evening, March
II, in special meeting, Smyrna
Town Council passed a motion
thereby agreeing to secure two
truck chassis for the Smyrna
Defense Group. These chassis,
when purchased, will be of a
type as specified by the govern
mental agency, adequate to
mount and operate a self con-
tained unit of fire fighting ap-
paratus. This additional equip
ment will be a great asset to-
the town in the event of an
emergency" the Defense Coun-
Gil said.

Office Equipment Companies
Owing to social security, retire
ment pensions, ETC., many men and
women who are now doing office
work will retire within the n X t
few years with fewer replace
ments. This means there will be an
increasing demand for machines to
do office work now being done by
these people especially speeding
up said work.
Among such companies I might
especially mention the Addresso-
graph-Multigraph Corp. and Inter
national Business Machines. / will
also include Zenith Radio which
hopes to get one million of its TV
cabinets into the public schools,
hospitals, and office buildings. I
believe that TV will revolutionize
teaching in our. schools. Zenith
Radio is also leading in color TV.
Camera Companies
These companies not only make
a profit on the sale of their cam
eras and films to the public, but
are also making large sales to the

Proctor and Gamble which could

feel, however, that some of the
fifteen will turn out to be great
disappointments, but no living soul

This leads me to emphasize once
more the great Importance of div
justification. Those who had their
money distributed over a large
number of established companies
during the recent great stock mar
ket decline have nothing to fear
The dividends need not be cut and
prices should hop back. In fact, I
believe that the combined average
price of the ten lucky" stocks
among those discussed above will
some day sell for over 1000.

THE OUTDOORS

We are now at the time of the year when
many people will spend their leisure hours
in the great outdoors. This is one of the
most pleasurable times of the year for both
the young and the old.
The summer sun can be one of the main
hazards. Many persons will attempt to ex-
ercise more vigorously than during other
seasons of the year and, combined with the
warm weather, may suffer from heat ex-
haustion or heat stroke. Moderation in ex-
ercise when one gets overheated is highly
desirable.
While enjoying the outdoors, there are
Hany plants, vines and shrubs which are
infectious upon contact with the skin Once
contact has been made with one of these
poisonous growths, serious infection can re-
suit.
Another danger during this time of the
year results from water activities partici-
patton: Both swimming and boating can be
highly dangerous to those who do not take
proper safety precautions while enjoying
their pleasures. The important things to
remember while participating in water
sports is that safety is always furthered by
numbers and good sound horse sense.
With 4 little knowledge and little pre-
caution, the great pleasure of outdoors. can
be enjoyed without running a very high
risk of fxtarity and family disaster. Each
year many teop+e are killed and other fam
lily tragedies sccur because of the lack of
knowledge in these safety and precaution-
ary measures.

just about all these losses in
human life and the life of pets
could have been prevented if COM

For example, the Delaware Speci-
alsts suggest that a lock and key

unless the lock lis snapped each

New Building Companies
Although Corning Glass Works is
best known for its "Pyrex" glass
ware, its great growth should come
from new modern buildings. More

new office buildings; while factor

ternationaJ Glass Congress had its

Part of their entertainment was a
trip down to Mount Vernon by ex-
curison boat The five hundred
freshly attired wives, children and
friends of the delegates arrived at
the~Wilson Line dock After they
were all securely locked" in,
heavy dirty dew descended upon
the top deck. AS you know, these
excursion boats are open for the
passengers to enjoy the "sea" air
and there is little protection from
the elements on the open decks,
which is where most of the pas
engers stationed themselves.
The dew turned into a heavy,
steady, dirty spray and a large
portion of the passengers were
quickly soaked to their skins. 1t
developed that a volunteer Fire
Company from Loring, oVirginia
was in the area borrowing some

iel Boone, who was always the
rowing kind during his lifetime,
may be moving along again before
the year is out.
Gov. Bert Combs has indicated
he wants to transfer the famed
pioneers tomb to a more access
ible tourist site in Frankfort; if
that's really Boone in the tomb, of
course.
At present, Boone's purported
bones are in the city cemetery on
hill overlooking the Kentucky

terry, and the grave is hard to find.

civic gathering recently, perhaps
the most fabulous figure in Ameri-
can history-and hidden from visi-
tors"
''You have here" says more than
one skeptic, ''the bones of a slave.
Boone rests in peace in Missouri" F."
1t was back in 1916 that the city
cemetery board, promoting the
y,
the bodies of Boone and his wife,
Rebecca, tran S erred from
Marthasville, Mo-, some 25 years
after their deaths.
A big parade and celebration
followed and two bodies eventual
ly were buried in the cemetery,
topped by an impressive monu-
ment
The monument eventually was
Clipped to pieces by voracious
souvenir hunters. The second or
third monument-no one is certain
which contained a tall statue of
Boone, complete with coonskin
cap and rifle.
Earlier this century lightning
struck a tree nearby and a heavy
limb crashed into the statue All
that's left today is the base of the
monument.
AS for who is underneath, every
one agrees that Rebecca arrived in
1S45. But the argument that the
wrong man came along still
smolders during otherwise orderly
historical society meetings.
Combs is extremely interested in
the tourist trade.
He has decided the grave might
do wonders for tourism if it were
placed in the rear of the Capitol,
atop a hill near Frankfort's park
or on the lawn of the old restored
Capitol downtown.
He even talks of building a ma
tional shrine around it.

deeper into the Blue Grass coun-
try. Heavily favored is a site near

TOO MUCH PURITp

H LAR RI S B u r G. (AP) - In

justice at the Dauphin County
Courthouse are the words:
God gave the fountain of
justice, men must preserve its
purity"
Even so, county employees were
somewhat alarmed recently when
they found mountains of soap suds
billowing from the water.
Apparently a prankster took the
inscription to heart and dumped
detergent in the fountain.
