WASHINGTON CAMP, NO. 9

1t is not to be thought that very many
young men who cross the thresholds of
our Camps and become impressed with
the teachings they receive therein, leave
the Camp without being better men
than when they entered it. This is one
of the orders that takes boy of six
teen years and if he will attend our
meetings, makes out of him man by
installing into him his duty to God and
his fellowmen. The P. O. s, of A.
constantly has worked, is working, and
always will work to bar the lawless
and illiterate inhabitants of Southern
Europe from our shores,
Washington Camp, No. 3, has
established communication with Camps
at Townsend, Odessa, Warwick and
Port Penn in reference to Degree
Work, as this Camp has a fully-uniform-
ed and efficient Degree Team which
guarantees its work to be satisfactory
and impressive. In all probability this
Degree Team will visit many other
Camps in close proximity to this town;
and furthermore will put Middetown

CLEANLINESS &PRTDE
Look Over Your House and its
Surroundings
DO THEY NEED PAINTING

Cleanliness, thrift and civil pride, "
are named as f'the essentials, of a
movement that has quickly become
nationwide. Last year more than 2,220
t owns and cities in the United States
had successful "Clean Up and Paint
Up" campaigns. Take a look at your
house and outbuildings. Do they need
paint? Then pant them, and if you
can't afford to paint your Outbuilding
use plenty of whitewash as it is healthy.
Prepare now to paint the house before
the gnats are flying. There are a great
many houses in this town that need
paint. You should face and dispose at
once of the question whether yours is
one of them. Paint needs no argument.
Like virtue, it is it's own reward. why
should paint my house?" can, it is
true, be answered in words A volume
might be written on why you should
paint your house. But with all that,
the paint itself gives the best answer.
When you have painted the house, and
look at it, there is no question left in
your mind, nor in your neighbors minds,
nor in the minds of the strangers who
passes by your gate. 1t is hardly worth
while for US to argue why any body
should paint. What The Transcript
wishes to do is to get the suggestion
into the minds of the whole town. We
hope to see this town painted this Spring
not, necessarily painted rec, but painted.
We wish to get all the people thinking
along a train of thought that will result
in individual cleaning, painting up, and
whitewashing incidentally. but in a
spontaneous community movement. If
that result is achieved it will mean
something worth while to everyone of
us. The individual will look with pride
and pleasure upon his own home, and
we shall all derive an added pride and
satisfaction in our home town. We
shall be glad for strangers to see it, and
remark; "Well this is a live town.
These people know what paint is for.
This ought to be good town to live and
do business in" And they will make
comparisons between our town and
other places, where the people have
neglected this important matter. And
we might add that we all must do some
thing to help put new life in our town,
as it is now dragging along. There is
not SO much an analogy between paint,
for houses, towns and dress for the in
dividual, as there is between paint and
individual linen. EXcesses, sins, follies
lie in the domain of dress; but the mat
ter of fresh linen and shoes properly
cared for, is another sort of matter
This more like the matter of paint,
soap and water to the house.

THE AMUSEMENT PARK

The making of the School Amuse-
ment Park is going forward. The
buildings on the strip bought from Mrs.
Algire have been removed, and those
belonging to her estate, moved out of
the way.
The neat little edifice thatwas bought
has been taken to the southwest corner
of the lot and set on masonry. 1t has
two rooms about IA by IL feet each, and
will be used for Club House.
A high board fence has been built on
the vest and the entire grounds will be
finally enclosed. The field has been
pretty well leveled up already, and will
later receive the final touches needed to
fit it for ball purposes.
While it may in some instances prove
to be a trife small for heavy batters,
still for the common hits which make
up 80 or 80 per cent of the whole it
will do, while as a general play and
athletic grounds for the School pupils
it will become a highly useful institu-
tion. one one that will reflect credit

TNSTRUCTS SUPERVISORS

A meeting of the ten road supervisors,
representing the various hundreds in
New Castle county, was held in the
office of County Engineer James Wilson
on Monday afternoon, at which time
Mr.. Wilson instructed them as to their
duties.
The county engineer advised them
that in order to obtain the best results
the roads should be completed before
the latter part of June or should be
deferred until the following spring.
"All cutters, bitches and culverts, "
he said, ''should be cleaned out early
in the spring in order to prepare for the
heavy rains that will follow. Then
they should be gone over again in the
fall to prepare for the winter so that
no water may lie in them or become
frozen. Bridges should be carefully
examined and their condition reported
to the office of the county engineer and
if in dangerous condition they should
be blocked off until repairs can be
made. A few dollars spent with care
at the proper time may often save
many times their value later on"
After the meeting, the supervisors,
accompanied by J. Harry Pierson,
secretary, were escorted to the Hotel
dupont, where a dinner was served,
Mr.. Wilson acting as host.
The supervisors and the hundreds
they represent are as follows Thomas
