Miss Madge Huff and some friends
will start up the creek tomorrow after
noon and camp over night at delight
full spot near Smithville.
Nearly all the members of the Algon-
gum Club, of Burlington, got busy last
week and injected new looks into their
canoes with the aid of the painters
brush. They certainly needed it:
Edward Hack has started on the work
of painting his boat house, one section
of which is finished. The front bears
the picture of canoe, which is to re-
ceive further ornamentation.
Thrown from their canoe on Wednes-
day when it was hit by launch, Jacob
Archer and Clifford Richmond, of
Delanco, narrowly escaped drowning at
the drawbridge over the Rancocas creek.
They were saved by a rescue party.
An angler fishing on the upper creek
last week caught fourteen catfish and a
club that had only one eye. This luck
led the nimrod to believe that he had
Oliver G. Billings record beaten. It's
up to Josh now to catch club without
a tail.
While some anglers were fishing at the
bungalow point, on Thursday afternoon.
they saw flock of wood ducks SWIM
ming in the raceway. The birds came
down and settled on the saw mill basin.
Getting glimpse of the men who were
watching them, the frightened ducks
flew away with terrific speed.
b. Harold Wills and Harry McClain
arrived home on Sunday evening well
pleased with a night'scamp on the banks
of the Rancocas creek at Delanco On
the return trip Beverley c. Kingdom towed
their canoe from the forks to Mount
Holly with his motor boat, an act of
kindness that was greatly appreciated.

Comet tomatoes from a new seeding.
Mr.. Clair recently picked ten of the new
tomatoes from his vines, and found that
they weighed nine pounds and fourteen
