PAUL PRY's ELLENDALE
LETTER.

We were sorry indeed to receive
Z tongue lashing at the hands Of one Of
our citizens who had given us an ac-
count Of social gathering and which
we sent in our last weeks letter. The
item did not appear and the editor had
left it out for some reason. We are
always anxious to receive these items
and we were not in fault that It was
published. We trust that this explain
alton will meet with the approval of
the person who gave the item to us.
For the first time this season our
school opened with a full teaching
staff. Mr.. Otis Jefferson is the prin-
cipal of the school, Miss Sorden of
Millsboro the primary teacher, and
Mrs. Roy Clendaniel is the interim ediate
teacher The attendance of pupils is
better than at any time this year. With
this splendid teaching staff again on
the job, the pupils of the Glendale
schools should accomplish good re-
suits in their efforts to gather an ed
ucation.
At the annual town election on Sat
urday full board of commissioners
were elected whose ideas are progress
sive. We are informed that their first
duties will be to order all propertv
owners on Main street to lay concrete
pavements This is an excellent idea
and the commissioners should compell
every property owner on each side of
the street from the western to the
eastern town limits to lay paVements.
A patch of pavements here and there
IS not what is needed, and the conyen-
ience Of the walking public should be
considered. 1t is certain that owners
of vacant lots will howl, but the ben
etts are apparent to ali.
Mr.. and Mrs. John West were made
