ST& 4 MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL ~
PLANS COMPLETE FOR
CHILDREN'S XMAS
Admission To Be By Ticket

Admission To Be By Ticket
The Committee in charge of the
Children's Christmas Treat to be
given in the Opera House on Fri
day afternoon, December twenty
fourth, is planning to give the
Riddles the best time of any
year. There are plenty of sur
prises in store for the five hundred
little folk who will be entertained
as the towns honored guests. In
order to see that those for whom
the entertainment is intended are
admitted, it has been deemed nee
essary to distribute tickets. Ad-
mission, therefore, will be by tick
ct only. Every child in the town,
who is under the Sixth Grade at
school, is included in the invited
guests. If there are any town
children in school or out of school,
under the age limit, who have
been missed in the distribution of
tickets, the committee will appre-
ciate notice Of the omission. The
Aetna H. H. & L. Co. has gone on
record as the only organization in
the town which has contributed to
the plans financial success.

Then followed a short social inter-
mission before the guests left for
their homeward ride.

regular routine of business and a
consideration of the plans for the
proposed new club house. AS the
hour was late no definite action
was taken but the plans appeared
to meet with the approval of most
of the members present. The club
adjourned until January third,
subject to the call for an extra
meeting should the president deem
it desirable.

STEPS TO CHANGE
LOCATION OF POSTOFFICE


Representative Thomas w. Mil
Ter has introduced a bill in Con-
gress to provide for the exchange
of the present Federal building
site at Newark, Delaware, which
was introduced at the instance of
the Board of Trustees of Della
ware College. The present build
ing site which has been purchased
by the government encroaches
upon the land recently purchased
by the trustees of Delaware Col
lege for new buildings. If the
new postoffice should be erected
on this building site it would not
only destroy the architecture of
the government building but
would impair the appearance of
the college property and the build
ings to be put on their land. The
trustees realizing this appointed
former Representative William H.
Heald of the Board, a committee
of one to look into the matter.
When Representative Miller and
Mr.. Heald called at the Treasury
Department in Washington they
found that the only way the mat
ter could be adjusted was by an
act of Congress. The supervising
architect of the Treasury Depart
ment, who has particular charge
of such matters agreed with them
that in view of the purchase by
Delaware College of the surround
ing ground it would be to the best
interests of the Government, from

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS
TO THE COMMUNITY
lNENT CITIZENS EXTEND WORDS OF CHEER

community Christmas Tree, con-
stltute likewise signal chapter of
achievement for our Town.
Undoubtedly the biggest single
fact in the growth and spiritual
power of our community has been
the establishment of the Women's
College and it's remarkable pro-
gress under Miss Winifred J. Rob-
inson as Dean, and her able staff
of teachers. The presence of the
increasing body of young women
as students, enriches and gives
charm to the life of the whole COM
munity, leaving not a home un-
touched with spiritual influence.
The plans for the development of
Delaware College are the natural
outgrowth of the faith of former
citizens of Newark, such as George
Evans, the conservation of teach
ers like DR.. Theodore R. Wolf, and
of executives like Doctors Pur-
nell, Raub and Harter, and the
cooperation of an overwhelming
constituency of alumni and
friends.
The year 1915, which records a
gift of over 100000 to Delaware
College by generous citizen, will
be forever memorable. The Col
lege and the community are one.
The community is the real campus
of the College. Every citizen con-
tributes to the shaping of char
acter of the youth who are trained
in the bosom of our community.
Especially do l desire to thank the
good women who receive the
men into their homes and give
them the loving attention of a mo-
ther. Such cooperation upon the
parts of homes of Newark streng-
thens the College and quickens the
growth and character and ideals of
our students. Such sympathy
with youth knits ties of friendship
that will prove as strong as they
are tender, enduring for life. 1t
is the Crown and Glory of New
ark to have a structural share in
the making of manhood and wo-
menanhood of all this region of
country. While we go to our bu-
siness in shop, store, and farm we
do we'll to remember the glowing
idealism that pervades the life and
mission of Newark in it's vital re-
laton to the world through the pre-
sence of hundreds of elect youth
destined to careers of large SER
vice to mankind. Every student
who goes forth from our midst be-
comes the representative of New
ark, to which he feels bound as the
child to the home. We may well
come 1916 with it's ever brighten
ing prospects for the schools,
homes, churches and citizenship
of Newark.
