RED CROSS, MEETING

Red Cross members and workers
are earnestly requested to attend q
meeting on Friday at $3.50 o'clock
May goth, at the home of Mrs. George
w. Marshall, to answer this urgent re-
quest to do our part in saving the
children in Poland, Austria, Hungary
Albania and the Baltic States. Do not
forget. the date and attend this meet
ing.
The following will give you a clear
idea of the terrible condition of the
children of Europe. The great emer-
gency drive on their behalf seems a
solemn call to every woman in Am
erica. Facts of interest show that
eleven million children need clothes
thousands of children have been col
lected at different points in the de-
Vastated region, here a Red Cross
Doctor, a nurse and a welfare work.
er are stationed, who will receive and
distribute all Red Cross supplies. One
million layettes will be needed this
summer to save the lives of the ex-
pected little ones. Red tape has been
abandoned, any garment will be ac-
cepted thankfully.
Miss NOyes, head of Red Cross Nur-
sing service, visited in Poland a place
which had once been a railroad cen
ter, it now appeared to be a village
of box cars in which thousands of or
phaned destitute children were living.
If placed upon a track these cars
would have extended for five miles.
Shipments may now be- made to
specified countries-but not to indi-
viduals. No Red Cross supplies are
being sent to Germany, the friends
are working there.

POSTMASTER EXAMINATIONS
lST, End, 3RD AND 4TH CLASS-BOTH
men AND WOMEN ARE ELIGIBLE.

President Harding has just issued
an executive order requiring that all
vacancies for POstmasters of the First,
Second and Third Glass be filled from
competitive examinations. This order
means that all post officers for which
examinations have not already been
held, will become vacant as soon as
the present terms of the postmasters
expire, and no one will be appointed
unless he has passed the Civil Service
examination. Examinations will be
announced as soon as the terms of
pOstmasters expire. Both men and
women are eligible.
These examinations will be strictly
non-pOlitical, and both Democrats and
Republicans, from 21 to 65, will be
eligible to take the examinations. The
appointment will be given to one of
the three making the highest marks in
the examination. The Civil Service
Commission will gade the papers of
candidates without knowing whether
they are Democrats or Republicans
and without any knowledge whatever
OF their political beliefs. This will
give Democrats the same chance as
to make the highest
marks in the examinations,

MEMORIAL DAY MAY BOTH
TO Be OBSERVED In PUBLIC SCHOOLS OF
DELAWARE BY SPECIAL PROGRAM.

The Commissioner of Education OF
Delaware has sent out a letter to all
the school superintendents suggesting
that a special program be arranged
and carried out in all the schools. The
letter reads as follOws:-
1T is rather late, but I wish to call
your attention to Memorial Day, and
to ask that you hold a simple cele-
bratiOn on that day.
According to Rule 4, under School
Holidays, adopted by the State Board
of Education, teachers are urged to
emphasize the Importance of these
days with appropriate exercises in the
schools.
For Memorial Day the idea should
be for the Superintendent or Princi-
pal to plan a program in cooperation
with any local G. A. R., U. S. Spanish
War Veterans or Veterans of the
World War. 1t is desirable that some
member from one of these Posts, if
there is one in your neighborhood,
should be invited to make a short ad-
dress to the children at the school
and that the children should gather
flowers and march to the cemetery
and decorate the graves at the time
the soldiers hold their exercises, if
there is any local organization to con-
duct such exercises.
otherwise, it is recommended that
after the morning re-
cess, an appropriate program shall be
carried out, after which the flowers
brought from the children's homes
should be placed upon the graves Of
soldiers in the neighboring cemeter-
les, by the pupils under the direction
of the teachers. The children may
then be dismissed for the day.
ut is the wish of the State Board
Of Education that the day be observed
in a quiet, dignified way, and that
The children shall be under the super
vision of their teachers until the ex-
ercises have been concluded at the
mo Superintendent or Principal
las permission to dismiss school for
he day, and it is his duty to direct
he exercises himself. He may, or
nay not, call upon some suitable per-
ION to address the children on this |
occasion. Long speeches concerning
he war should not be tolerated. The |
lay should teach peace, rather than
var. Almost any soldier who has had !
experience on battlefield can tell a
imple story which will be enjoyed by
he children. Cooperation on the part
+ the school authorities with the 10
al Army posts will make the occasion
Impressive and a success"

REDUCE PRICE
OF ICE CREAM
WHOLESALER MAKES A CUT, BUT The
RETAILERS ARE YET HOLDING ON
TO OLD PRICES.
CONSUMER GETS NO BENEFIT
OFFICIALS SAY The DECREASE IS A d.
RECT RESULT OF The SLUMP In
The PRICE OF MILK.

Although the wholesale price of ice
cream has been reduced by the max
ers from $1.20 to SLIP to SI.1O and
SLIP a gallon, consumers will not
get the benefit for the present, as H.
cal retailers have made no change in
their prices. The reduction in the
wholesale price was effective this
week. The Milford retailers have not
reduced the price of ice cream either
by the quart, pint, plate or cone.
Following the announcement that
the price of milk would be reduced
two cents quart at retail in the cit
les, making the price eleven cents
per quart, all of the large wholesale
ice cream firms in Philadelphia and
Wilmington made it known that they
had cut the price Of ice cream.
The reduction in wholesale prices
was made by the Sharpless-H -Hendler
Ice Cream Company, of Wilmington,
the Supplee-Wills-Jones Co., the Col
onial Ice Cream Co., the Brewer Ice
Cream Co., and the AbbOtts Alderney
Da1ries, Inc, of Philadelphia, who
supply retailers in Milford and other
towns in Delaware. officials of those
concerns explained that the decrease
was direct result of the slump in
the price of milk.
A representative of a Wilmington
company said the farmer and the man
ufacturers each had agreed to stand
a portion of the reduction and should
the retailers decide to stand a propor-
tionate reduction, the cost of cone
would be reduced to nickel flat and a
plate to 10 cents. There would also be
a cut in the price by the quart and.
pint.

RUNINLAGE BAG

That old probverb, "Take care OF
the pennies" which so often is care
lessly disregarded, proved a good
symbol for the Kings Daughters in
their recent rummage sale, at which
time they realized $368.76. The dona-
tions from the garrets of the mem
bers and their friends were real treas
ures. This money goes toward the
fund promised by the circle to the
Milford Hospital. Now, the Kings
Daughters plan to make the rummage
sale semi-annual event. It is a sure
way to make money and is no tax on
the person who so generously contri-
butte. Let each one today make a
Kings Daughters Rummage Bag and
put in it the things you no longer
have any use for. When fall comes it
will be no effort on your part to hand
the bag to the collectors of the same,
but it will help to put the K. DIS ex-
in f1ourishing condition.

RED MEN ATTEND CHURCH

On Sunday morning the two middle
blocks of the church were reserved
for the Red Men, and Daughter of Po-
cahontas, and at 1O:SO these lodges
were ushered up the aisles by DR..
Grier.
The badges and regalia added to the
novelty of the scene, but it's impress
iveness was emphasized by the digni-
fed bearing of those who Loyalty up
hold their pledges of friendship and
devotion.
Mr.. Jacobs preached his third SER
mon in the series, Reconstruction, !"
weaving into it's fundamental founda-
tions the very principles of the lodge
thistogether with his sincere welcome
made Sakimas Tribe and the Daugh-
ters of Pocahontas really akin to the
church.
Special music in honor of the guests
and solo by Mrs. Disston Jacobs add
ed greatly to the mornings worship.
The first copies of the Church Cal
endar were distributed and these will
be given each Sunday, so that every

your duties.
"I believe that regular attend

the studies themselves.
