NV Own Dears--I want to tell you again
So that you will remember it. that If you
are not courageous, you are discouraged
and-A COWARD. No one wants to be
called n coward.
You may think it hard to keep up your
courage, but If you tell some one that you
are Discouraged, 1t only impresses the fact
upon your mind.
BE brave.
To be brave means, when you are in

KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT so that you

Your HEART has n lot to do with your

When such times come, GET Up.
If you can, take a walk.
Keep moving.

MANAYUNK WAS NAMED
NINETY-THREE YEARS AGO
Old Name Is Famous Throughout the
World

The name NanayunS was ninety.thrce
years old last May. and 1t is claimed that
there is not an American city more uni
versally talked about than Is. Manayunk.
Why? No one really knows, and no one
can tell why for many years the oft
repeated phrase. "All aboard for Mana
yunk!" was shouted in jest wherever
group of pleasure seekers was gathered at
railroad stations, or at any waiting place
for Transportation. And even at this late
date I am told, friend of one of the
soldier boys going to him off for the
training camp, shouted as the train drew
out, "All aboard for Manayunk' Some
years ago a jovial resident of this section,
travelling abroad, while in Paris was
astonshed to hear some one behind him
say, "All aboard for Manayunk :" 1t proved
to be one of his townsmen. After cordial
greeting he introduced the neighbor to his
companion, n native of London. why
said the Londoner, 81 thought you were
from Philadelphia; is that near Manayunk?'
YES indeed" replied the jovial one. Phil
adelphia is a suburb of Manayunk." During
the Civil War the name was so well known,
il has been stated. that there was not
regiment in the Union or Confederate army
but what had a man in it who had lived in
Manayunk or knew some one who did.
am sure 1t Is much more euphonious than
"JTdoravia," the name suggested in 1924
by classical scholar, and which was
adopted and printed on board and ele-
waited on n post in a conspicuous place.
However, there were faddists in those days,
and there was n fad just then for Indian
names SO the mill owners suggested the
Indian name of the Schuyiill River, and
this was adopted at a town meeting. In an
cient orthography it was spelled Maniunk,
or Manjunk, but the town fathers, for the
reason that it could be more easily ac-
ouired and remembered, the spelling being
more poetcal," spelled 1t Mana-yunk.
