BOWERS BEACH

| Labor Day coming on Monday makes
it particularly available for the many
people in the cities and from a dis
tance, who motor here, to make the
trip to the shore. 1t has grown to be
big day at Bowers and the three
days this year brought an enormous
crowd. 1t was the largest gathering OF
people in September that ever assemb-
led at this resort and most of them
went fishing, or attempted to go until
the supply of boats was exhausted.
Many remained over until Tuesday
and these had fine success catching
fish.
The steamboat, Frederick, left her
wharf here on Monday with the larg-
est number of passengers she ever car
pied. She could only take such freight
as was perishable because Of the
many passengers.
During the entire season, with the
huge number of automobiles, the great
number of motor boats and sailing
craft, that has brought and carried
the people to and from Bowers, there
has not been one serious accident dur
ing the entire season. This is remark
able when thought about, for there are
always reckless drivers, and thought
less people in all great gatherings.
William E. Lynch and wife of Phil
adelphia spent the weekend and La
Dor Day with Alex Minner and family
at Willow Grove.
The public school at Bowers did
not open last Tuesday, because the
local school commissioners had failed
to secure a teacher for the school.
Something will have to be done for
the children soon by some One-if the
local folks do not act.
The evening dances have drawn
many during September so far.
Most of the cottage folks have gone
to their homes and Bowers is getting
back to its wintef population.
Miss Mary Fisher of Washington, D.
c., is visiting her mother, Mrs. A. B.
Fisher on Hubbard avenue.
Mrs. Alex Minner is in Philadelphia
for this week.
George Lynch, who is well known
in Kent county, died at the home OF
his son in Wilmington and was bur-
led at Barratts Chapel last Tuesday.
He had been an invalid for several
years.

JEANETTE ECKMAN TO BE
SECRETARY TO DU PONI

Miss Jeanette Eckman, according
to we'll authenticated rumor, will be
Senator Coleman du Points political
secretary for women of Delaware
Senator du POnt will, according to
plans announced by him prior to his
leaving for Colorado Springs a few
weeks ago, name a man secretary,
who will look after his political ac-
tivities in Delaware and keep him
posted on what is transpiring through
out the State.
The selection of Miss EcRman is
pleasing to many persons. 1t was
Miss Eckman's executive and organ
izing talents during the war that
made the State Council of Defense in
the woman's department, the welfare
agencies and many other details so
successful.
Later her part. in the organization
of the Republican women of Della

cess of that party at the polls last

MEMORIES

when night gathers her shadowy wells
And drapes them over the trees
Memory locses a loodgate Of dreams,
And through its.dim way sees
Your dear form, in the vacant chair.
The night wind heard the music or
your voice,
AS you sang to me in the summer dusk
And on its gentle starward flight,
Bore a sweet burden into the night.
Many winters and summers, too.
Have passed, since you sang the old
songs,
l seem to hear their footsteps
Creep through the snow,
And dance through green wales
Of Junes long ago
And over their well-worn paths
hear your feeble step and slow,
AS you pause by your easy chair,
And your eyes are filed with Heay
ems glow. ~
As you sit holding hands
With memories there,
And when l see you white and still,
Your selvery hair shading
Your placid brow, The cry of my heart
Is, that you did Mt know
That through youths careless ways,
And maturitys engrossiDg days,
Mother, loved you so!
Abide Nicely.
