PAUL PRY'S ELLENDALE
LETTER.

Glendale is gaining a fine reputa-
ton for doing things well and in a
large way, in proportion to her size
In the Liberty Bond campaigns, the
Thrift Stamp subscriptions, the Red
Cross contributions, Ellendale was
well in the forefront and prompt to
complete and exceed her quotas. In
building a modern church and furnish
ing the same. the people of Glendale
have lived up to the reputation for
progressive doings and promptness in
execution, and we now have a fine,
large and attractive church edifice to
which all point with pride. But Ell
lendale does not always confine her
effort to the things which are herald
ed from the house-tops. Charity
sabides in the hearts of the people and
sympathy with the unfortunate takes
the place of hp-sympathy. 1t has been
a boast in the past that in Glendale
there was no family or individual
needing assistance as to personal
needs; but this boast has been halted,
for at the present time there is an
aged couple who moved to Glendale
from the northwestern country who
need the help OF their neighbors and
friends. Mr.. Brown and his wife are
rs years old at least and he has been
paralyzed, while his wife is very fee
BILE. They are quite helpless and
through the efforts of Robert Glen
daniel the people have contributed a
small fund of ready cash and others |
have offered wood and food supplies. |
That is another side which shows the |
big side of the people of Glendale.
Then again, at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Harry Jester last Monday a din
ner was given to the officers and di-
rectors of the Milford Trust Company,
of which Mr.. Jester is one of the
Board of Directors. This dinner was
One of the many successful entertain
nents which Glendale has enjoyed
his season.
Harry W. Jester has purchased from
he legal heirs the real estate and
woodlands of the Ann Deputy estate. :
This embraces about lis acres Of some
# the finest timber in Delaware. It !
vas bought from Mrs. John West after =
he Superior Court had rendered its
lecisiOn in her favor. Mr.. Jester is a
utting and delivering some beautiful .
0-foot piling to the railroad at Ellen
ale from this tract. The price paid h
) private.
The town council proposes to have F.
very property owner in Glendale lay h
concrete walk in front of his or her
roperty during the season of 1919. 4
he question of installing a small
ectric lighting system for lighting the U
treets is also being considered. U
theirs are wanting apparatus with n.
-hich to fight fire. and of course to a,
0 all this would require bond issue. 8
his is about all of the big things m
hich are talked about this winter ~
nd we hope that one half of them will r.
and so Keep Glendale in N
Ie lines Of progress. Al
