Gardner were decorated and there were games of croquet, etc., and ice cream and cake were served.

Han- sen, Jacobsen and Himmeler from West Wilmington, Dwight B. Gard ner and wife from Rockville, and a general representation from nearer home. A good sum was realized, but not enough to pay for the large, beautiful flag that responds to the hilltop breezes, and an entertain ment is in the afro for the near future.
