SIXTIETH ANNIVERSARY

The Presbyterian Sunday school
held it's annual treat and anniversary
program on Tuesday evening and it
was thoroughly enjoyed by ALL The
orchestra, under the direction of Mr..
F. B. Lewis, furnished delightful mu-
sic; the carols by the school, the ex-
ercises and recitations by the chill
dren of the primary and intermediate
departments were full of interest.
While all the children did their parts
well. The exercise by Eleanor and
Henry Bunstein in costume represent
ing George and Martha Washington,
and the songs by Margaret and Re
becca Davies-might be mentioned.
Then the chorus of ladies voices by
the ladies of the New Century Club
added much to the program. The ad-
dress by Hon. Robt. G.. H. Houston of
Georgetown, reviewed the life of Geo.
Washington, who, when boy, adopt
ed as one of the rules governing his
life, this "I always keep alive in my
breast that spark of celestial fire, cal
led conscience He talked enter
tainingly to the children about Wash
ington and his times, and then told
the parents some plain truths about
the prevailing laxity in home train
ing of the children in religious mat
ters, and emphasized the supreme i'm
portance of Sunday school work.

WILL MAINTAIN THE FORTS
WAR DEPT. OFFICIALS SAY NO IDEA OF
DISARMAMENT IS ENTERTAINED.

That Delaware forts will be i'm
proved, rather than dismantled, is the
opinion of War Department officials
who are informed on the subject. They
will only be abandoned when the
world agrees to and enforce a dis
armament agreement. One of the Of
ficials who gave this opinion said, of
course, the new administration was
not bound by the views and practices
of the present War Department, but
he. knew of no responsible military or
naval authority who would recommend
the Abandonment of the forts.
why" said one of the generals,
"by abandoning the Delaware river
forts you make possible an invasion
of the United States. In the early part
of the European War the territory
covered by these forts were closely
examined by the War Department and
some officials expressed the opinion
that the vast population now under
the protection of the guns, needed ad-
ditional protection.
"I know this Congress wants to
make a record for economy, but no
responsible statesman will count dol
lars as more important than the pro-
lection of the teeming life and i'm
mense property on both sides of the
Delaware river When the world
agrees to a disarmament program it
will be time enough to dismantle the
Delaware forts"
It was stated that the money pro-
vided by Congress would be sufficient
to care for what military men regard
as the indispensable forts, but many
others will have to be given up.

FIRST REAL SNOW OF SEASON


Uust as the citizens of lower Della
ware had about reached the cOnclus-
ion that we were to have no winter,
and that spring had already arrived;
the weatherman put crimp in their
dreams and gave us a sample Of win
ter weather. Last week the farmers
were plowing for peas, and many of
the early gardeners had set their on
ions and other early vegetables. On
Saturday it commenced to get colder,
and on Sunday a driving wind, ac-
companied by heavy rain made things
disagreeable. Late Sunday afternoon
snow began to fall, but only for few
hours. There was enough, however,
for the youngsters to get out their
sleds and enjoy the coasting. Snow
started to fall again Monday evening,
and on Tuesday morning about six
inches covered the ground. 1t is prob
able that more than this amount of
snow fell, for during the night it
rained hard for about an hour which
packed the snow that had already
fallen. Wheat growers are more than
glad to see the white covering on
their fields, and they are wearing
broad smiles. 1t is a saying among
grain growers that a mild winter is
an indication of poor wheat crop,
but that snow is what is needed to
make a fine crop assured.

THE FELLOWSHIP BIBLE
CLASS HOLDS BANQUET
IT WAS In The FORM OF A GEORGE
WASHINGTON SOCIAL AND HELD
ON HIS BIRTHDAY.
ITS TWELFTH ANNIVERSARY
The CHAPEL WAS DECORATED PRETTY
WITH FLAGS AND CLASS COLORS
AND WAS PLEASANT AFFAIR.

The Fellowship Bible Glass of AY-
enue NJ. E. Church celebrated its 18th
anniversary Tuesday, the twenty-sec-
ond, in the form of George Wash
ington social. From first to last this
occasion was marked by a most
wholesome spirit of friendliness~ and
hospitality.
The chapel was beautifully deco
rated in flags and class colors and
won many compliments for the dec
Grating committee of which Mrs. VIM.
Abbott was chairman.
After the devotional exercises of
the class, Glass President asked Mrs.
John Ingram, the vice-president, to
give the address of welcome, which
was well given. OF the Is charter
members there are still nine. Two
officers of the class have held the same
office since the organization began:
Mrs. Reid, president, and Miss Lydia
abbott, treasurer.
The patriotic program for the even
ing was opened by a quartet given by
Mrs. Laura Davidson, Mrs. Al Archer,
Mrs. ThOs Mills and Mrs. Roy Can
non. Everybody joining in the chorus,
Three Cheers for the Red, White and
Blue" DR.. Stephenson then led in
prayer.
The following readings were then
given: Tribute to Washington, Mrs. A.
3. Num-; Ode to Washington, Mrs.
Roy Cannon; Founding of the City of
Washington, Mrs. Henry Ingram;
Story of the Cherry Tree, Miss Lydia
Abbott; Disbanding of the Army, Mrs.
]. S. Willis. While Master Will Rob
inson favored us with a piano solo,
the supper was served. The tables dec
orations being in keeping with the
day, flag center-pieces and cherries
napkins, with a center bouquet of
class flowers.
The supper consisted of delicious
chicken salad, Delaware biscuit, ice
cream, cake and coffee. This was fol-
lowed by reading from place cards,
toasts and conundrums being replied
to causing much laughter The place
cards are worthy of second mention
being little hand painted red, white
and blue hatchets, made by Mrs. Reed
and Mrs. Mills. Several original verses
on the Hatchet and the Cherry Tree
were read and the prize was awarded
to Mrs. Num- for the best verse.
DR.. Stephenson made some very
hitting remarks regarding the class
and its workers, and expressed thanks
for the pleasant evening all had spent.

FIX FARM HELP WAGES

Members Of the Townsend Farm
Bureau, at a meeting last week at
tended by go representative farmers
of the locality, fixed a wage schedule
for farm help for the coming season
which will probably be the standard
for New Castle county. The schedule
agreed on follows: Man with board,
$50 per month; man with board and
horse keep, $25 per month; day wages
for ordinary work, 81 to $1.5O; harvest
work $3.50 per day. J. D. Reynolds
who presided, announced that while
it may be necessary in some cases to
deviate slightly from the schedule, the
farmers of that locality intend to fol
low it's closely. The cooperative buy
ing of clover seed was also decided on
and an order was placed for 200 bush
els at about $12 a bushel.
