OF PRESENT WAR
One OF the most enjoyable social
events held by the members Of the
DUPONT Trapshooting Club was the re-
union dinner in the main dining room OF
the Hotel DUPONT ON Saturday night.
Vocal and instrumental music, recita-
tions and a pleasing address by former
Congressman Charles B. lands, on
"sportsmanship," were features of the
evening.
As soon as the guests were seated at
the banquet tables the orchestra struck
up a lively march and to the time of it
the Red team, victors in the shoot of the
day rose to their feet formed in line
and marched around the room, headed
by r. II. Calvin.
+. L. Doremus, president Of the Club,
was toastmaster. Sitting alongside OF
him were Mr. Landis, d. $. Wood, w. G.
Corey, William Coyne. former president
of the clubs W. +. Robinson, J. T..
Skelley, DR.. Horace Belts, president of
the Delaware oportsmen Association,
and T. d. Reichter, editor of the Dupont
Magazine.
The menu was
Cape Cod oysters
Cream of Barley
Olives Celery Radishes
Baron of Beef
Bermuda Potatoes Rissolees
String Beans
Lettuce Salad French Dressing
Roquefort Cheese
Toasted Crackers
Fancy Ice Cream
Assorted Cakes
Demi Tasse
After Mr.. Lands had been intro
duced by Toastmaster Doremus, he
said
"I did not come here to interfere
with the general festivities" began
the judge. after being out in Indi-
ana to see what organization I would
join where / would meet the most as
sociates and believe me, gentlemen,
/ passed up every organization in town
but the DUPONT Trapshooting Club II
want to shoot / want to shoot at
clay pigeons and not at Germans. be-
cause clay pigeons have never been
classed as belligerents; when you
shoot clay pigeons they can't come
back, but when you fire on belliger-
ents. they will"
After a very descriptive and inter
esting introduction to his hearers as
TO the true meaning of sportsmanship,
| Mr.. Lands continued: due to the
fact that our business is comprised of
true sportsmen, am prepared 10 say
that II is for this reason that the
dupont Powder Company has been so
successful throughout this century of
years. The men In this great indus
try are sportsmen. II has grown
throughout the great republic. With
the other great nations across the sea
engaged in a fierce struggle, 1t is this
one industry practically, to which
they look and take without question
that which we have TO give.
my friends, il is frequently more
difficult to be a sportsman in victory
than TO try to be a sportsman In de-
feat But sportsmanship is playing
\ the game out and with the shells ana
/ guns open and above board. Let us
try TO emulate the men who made
this Republic so great. This is great
time to be an American, my friends,
this is the time to live under the
Stars and Stripes. Thank God our
4 troubles are over and let us hope
that the troubles Of the poor victims
across the way will soon be over. Let
us hope that out of this great con-
test there may come to our poor
friends a leader, a man who will
tower them all and also bring their
troubles TO a successful end"
