FILL OF SHAD
Annual Bake at Idle Hour
Club Was a Delightful
Affair

The Wilmington Master Plumbers
Association gave its annual shad bake
at the Idle Hour Club. .Grubbs Land
ing. yesterday afternoon. Plumbers
from Baltimore, Chester and other
places were guests of the association.
Forgetting the tribulations of plumb
ing for the day, the plumbers went
out early in the afternoon and occu-
pied the pleasant club house and lawn
with the exhuberance of school boys.
After a general jolliication in the
club house, the plumbers occupied two
long tables on the lawn facing the
Delaware. An hour or more was de-
voted to menu Of shad and its ac-
cessories and there was a great deal
of merriment.
After the passing of cigars, Harry
Mellon assumed charge as toastmaster
and introduced as the first speaker
Selden Walker, national vice president
of the Plumbers Association, of New
ark y. ]. Mr.. Walker pressed his
appreciation of the big turnout. and
told of the prosperity OF the National
Association. He urged that Delaware
be fully represented at the national
convention at Chicago next month.
He foresaw continued success for the
plumbers association.
John Trainor, of Baltimore. former
national president, was the neX'
| speaker. He lauded Wilmingtons in
terest in the national association ano
/ eulogized the late Alfred Gawthrop
of this city. who was prominent in the
association.
Plumbing Inspector Edward F. Kane
was applauded as the next and las
! speaker.
He urged that the Master Plumbers
do their utmost to keep their vocation
from the hardy man" class. The
apprentice question was the bigges
problem for the Master Plumbers now
he declared, and he hoped they woul'
turn out men who could justly b.
termed professional men," The wei
fare of the master plumbers woul'
depend entirely, he said, upon the
calibre of the apprentices produced.
AS all Of the speeches were yer!
brief and informal, the plumbers ant
their guests had a large part Of tn
afternoon unoccupied, and they spen
the time chatting OF old times an
playing quoits and other games. Ever
one voted the bake an unqualified
success.

ter Plumbers are: President. +.
