Of the members of this family OF the

Unlike the colonists OF New Eng

BAND CONCERTS
FOR CITY AGAIN
Community Service TO FL
nance Outdoor Musicales
This Year
WORKING OUT
SUMMER PROGRAM

Public band concerts will be re-
sumed this year on a larger scale
than ever IL the plans Of the Com
munity Service meet with the ex-
pectations Of the committee. J. Norris
Robinson's Philharmonic Band OF
twenty pieces will again entertain
the people OF Wilmington during the
summer evenings in the public parks,
Fairgrounds and the plaza Of the
Public Building.
The band concerts this year at
the Fairgrounds will differ some
what from those OF former years,
in that the various community or
CARNATIONS will arrange their own
programs, with the exception Of the
band, and will actually be hosts
to the musicians.
The band will play from s to 10
O'clock such music as best fits with
the program and the occasion.
Charles +. Ernst, director OF Com
munity Service, is now busy ar
ranging TO finance and carry on these
band concerts.
During the summer OF 1920. con-
certs were held every Thursday
night at Rodney Park, and on sat
urday night at the Public Building.
The last concert at Rodney Park
attracted a crowd OF about 5000 and
much regret was expressed when il
became necessary to discontinue the
concerts.
This year, however, Mr.. Ernst is
hopeful of being able to continue the
concerts throughout the summer
season. The popularity Of the band
concerts has become so great that
they have reached the status Of an
almost indispensable public institu-
ton. and the cooperation Of the var
ious community centers is expected
to make them more popular than
ever the coming season. The date
FOR the opening concert will be an
nounced as soon as arrangements
have been finally completed.

is IT GRUBB?

ID II OIA0bDt
Grubb or Grubbe does not seem
to be an easy name u account for.
AT least writer's on the subject do
not seem to be agreed as to its
source. one says that it is derived
from the old German word grob,
meaning coarse and rough, that
gives the German name Grubbe, and
that the Groube or CRUDE with
umlaute over the u) migrated from
Germany to England in 1880 after
the Hussite Prosecutions, settling in
willis
Others say that the name is of
German origin and is derived from
a word meaning pit, and that the
English equivalent is Pitt. Pittman
or Pitter
Still another writer on the subject
says the Grubb or Grubbe family OF
England was undoubtedly of DAN
ish origin and that one Gonde
Grubbe was living on an estate call
( ed Neringe. in Denmark in 1927.
Peter Grubbe OF Zealand was kings
justice in 1918, and was knighted
in 1922. He and his descendants
bore their own coat Of arms as
early as the thirteenth century. so
this authority says.
Al all events the name Grubb or
I Grubbe first appears in the seabor-
dering counties Of the south OF Eng
land, Lincoln, Kent, Hants. and
Cornwall, and there is pretty good
reason to believe that they are
migrants from the north OF the con-
/ tinent
The founder OF the American
Grubbe or Grubb family came from
/ England, where undoubtedly his
family had been long established. II
was John Grubb who came from
Eastwell House. Potterne. witt
shire, and made his home in Della
ware at a spot called Grubb's Land
