coRsIN AND PARTY TO DELTA
AFTER LONG OVERLAND TRIP

Dr. E. S. Corbin. and party return
ed to Delta late last Thursday evening
after a Ga day trip made in their
Studebaker car which covered Balti-
more, Philadelphia, Atlantic City, New
interesting points.
In the party besides Mr.. and Mrs.
Corbin were their daughter, Miss Lei
la Corbin, and her friend Miss Gwen
dolyn Taylor. To say that the party
enjoyed themselves would be express
ing it mildly-they are all simply de-
lighted to have forseen what a splend-
Id outing a trip of this kind really
means, but nevertheless they were
glad to return to good old Delta once
more.
Mr.. Corbin was delegate to the
National Elks convention and the first
where the local orator made himself
known as being an official represent
ative of Delta Lodge No. 1885 B. P.
o. e The big convention convened
on July 7th and concluded July 18th,
being the most largely attended con-
vention of this famous order in its
history. Many matters of national
Importance, it will be recalled, was
discussed by that body during their
session.
Philadelphia and Atlantic City, ac-
cording to Mr. Corbin are really and
truly great places to spend few days.
in. The latter city he says has
some of the most beautiful and costly
hotels that he ever witnessed "Ho-
tells. costing Millions crowded full
all the time, crowds of people every
where. day in and day out, continued
Mr. Corbin. until it made me pause
to wonder where they could be going
or where they came from"
AT Atlantic City. the first man we
met was Herbert Chase, who spied
the sign of the Centennial state across
getting ready to set sail for Europe
and recognized the same sign as
it was the one that he carried across
the states on his car some two or
three years ago, when he went on his
long overland trip that included the
state of Maine. We had short Wis
it with him before he sailed. 1t is a
great sight to see the airplanes sail
ting around which are as about as
thick as blackbirds in Delta in the
fall of the year. These human birds
keep their wings all day long, just
coming and going"
In New York the Deltaistes visited
many interesting places including the
residence of the late George Could
Attending the various places of amuse-
ments and pulled out for Niagara Falls
where they enjoyed themselves for sew
eral days before starting homeward.
Commenting on the highways, Mr..
Corbin said: After we struck Ohio
we never left paved highways. Thous-
ands of cars are passed daily. going
and coming. among them many huge
trucks. A great deal of the freight
is transported in this manner in the
east"
The party took their time and stop
ped for the night wherever they felt
like stopping. Over 5000 miles was
travelled and less than $3.50 for actual
repairs to his car spent, that is aside
from tires. which he said was moth
ing more than could be expected on
long trim
