THE HOSPITAL NURSE

A person wishing an example of
service to humanity should spend a
few weeks as an observer in a hos
pital, for there is exemplifled, as in
the schoolroom, social center, and
pulpit, the Injunction of Jesus to His
disciples, 'I am among you as one
that serveth." Care of the diseased and
suffering is an exacting task. It is
necessary that nurses pass through
severe tests, and come under a disci-
Dline as rigorous as that on the field
of battle. Attention to details, instant
thinking, coolness under conditions of
life and death, readiness to perform
menial tasks with unfailing cheerful
ness, are some of the elements in the
training Of a nurse. Hours are long.
Day after day, nurses are obliged to
work overtime, without pay. They
work until the task is done, and dur
ing the rest-period are subject to call.
Their reward is not in wages or per-
sonal gratitude, for criticism results
as well as appreciation, but in pain
anxiety relieved, health re-
stored, and the days work done. While
we are recording the benefactors of
the race we will pay tribute to the
hospital nurse.

ANNUAL XMAS DANCE
HELD TUESDAY NIGHT

The Christmas dance, given by the
young men of Milford on Tuesday ev-
ening in the Armory Hall, was one of
the finest dances ever held in Milford.
About one hundred and twenty-five
couples were present to enjoy the
dancing, and from all sources came
expressions of approval for the man
ner in which the dance was carried
out. The Armory was beautifully dec
GRATED for the occasion. James K. Pet
tyjohn was chairman of the committee
and had charge of the decorations.
Under the gallery in the hall two
"dens" had been arranged. These were
attractively arranged with porch fur
niture and shaded lamps with a cozy
fire place in one corner. Needless to
say they were the most popular places
in the hall between dances.
Beginning about $3.50 o'clock, the
dance ended at 2:30, following which
several breakfasts were given by the
set. Music for the dance was
furnished by Arthurs' Orchestra of
Dover and was very good. The favor
lite dance Of the evening was the

the room, was a grove of pine trees,
back of which was a large golden

LOST HIS CHRISTMAS
GOOSE AND DINNER

Andrew Donovan is forehanded
farmer, residing near Milford, who
knows how to make farming pay even
in these depressed times. He had an
experience this Christmas, which
caused him and the family some in
convenience, but it did not destroy any
of their happiness. Mrs. Donovan had
prepared 21-pound goose to be roast
ed and served with the other good
things on the Christmas dinner table.
All the family are good feeders, and
that goose looked we'll not only to
Mrs. DonoVan-but Andrew and the
other members as we'll. They had
made preparations and only the hour
was to arrive when the pleasures of
Christmas dinner would be realized;
but, there was a prowling thief at
large and during the night hours that
unknown individual removed the 81
pound goose with other eatables in a
treasured handle basket owned by
Mrs. Donovan and left vacant place
on their dinner table. In addition to
the eatables, the thief took two horse
blankets from the stable and other lit
tie things that struck his fancy. An
drew wasn't cast down - for there
were other geese ready for the sacri-
flee, but he would like to know who
the unfortunate person is, who need
ed goose dinner worse than he did.

SPIRIT OF YULETIDE SEASON
Carol Singing Revived And SpIen-
did Services In Churches.

Preparations for Christmas in Mil
ford this year went along quietly for
weeks and the plans carried out for
Christmas happiness in Milford were
far greater than for many seasons
previous. The offerings of the fortu-
nate to the less fortunate was gen.
erous and in many instances took the
form of useful things-clOthing food
and little comforts to make living
brighter. Of course the children of
tender years that play, seem to have
been the all-impOrtant thing, as the
autos loaded with packages going out
from Milford carried the little knic-
knacks and gew gaws that bring joy
to the juvenile heart.
The charitable organizations as
sumed the task of hunting out the
needy and helped to distribute the
burden for Santa Claus. These, the
social service workers have right to
all the happiness that kind deeds and
helpful charity brings in duty well
performed
In the hospitals those who were af-
ficted were not forgotten and the
Christmas season was marked by
many baskets Of good things, given by
relatives and friends to help cheer the
shut-ins.
Probably never before have the
Christmas preparations been carried
out with so much foresight as in this
year. The crowds in the stores for
part of the season were hardly greater
than those of normal times. To those
who accept conditions without won
dering why, it might seem that Christ
mas this would be thin and sparse,
but the business of the season exceeds
all past records by far. The slogan of
'Do Your Christmas Shopping Early"
which has been sung for years, has at
last borne it's fruit and preparations
seem to have been complete in every
quarter days in advance of the usual
schedule.
Unusual Christmas celebrations
were held in every quarter, and an an
cient custom, that of carol singing, |
was revived Sunday night in all the |
beauty and splendor and picturesque
ness of old.
One of the most elaborate commun-
ty services ever held in Milford was
hat in the Plaza Theatre on Sunday |
afternoon last. Members of all the
Sunday schools in Milford gathered /
1t the Plaza and held joint services.
The entire affair was the finest of it's I
Kind ever held in Milford. It was
lmple proof that the new Sunday
School Association in Milford is on the
ob and an asset to the community.
The children and their elders, who
ook part in the program, did splen-
idly.

P. R. R. PENSIONS
5O-YEAR VETERANS
Twelve Men Placed On Retired
Pension Rolls OF The PennsyI-
vania Road Last Week.

Twelve men were placed on the re-
tired pension rolls of the Pennsylva-
mia Railroad last week, two of whom
are Delawareans and one a native of
Milford where he started as a tele-
grapher in service of the railroad COM
pany, under the training of William
Thornton Vaules, who was for many
years station master at Milford, and
afterward, treasurer of the Old juno
ton and Breakwater Railroad.
In 1866 William and Harry T.
Vaules attended a preparatory school
then conducted in Milford, over what
is now the store Of George Reed in
South Milford. James NJ Williams and
Charles E. Reed, were young men then
and each devoted themselves to the
work of their school, which was from
the first a success. Pupils from Mary
land, Pennsylvania and New York
were enrolled. Judge Wales of New
York; Fred McComas, of Maryland;
S. G. Anderson, of Pennsylvania, were
students who have achieved splendid
success in later years. William Vaules,
Jr., went to Chicago, where he became
prominent in the railroad affairs of
that city. Harry T. Vaules, left Mil
ford about 1891 and settled at Tren-
ton, N. J., where he took up the work
of telegrapher on that then new divis-
ion of the Pennsylvania Railroad and
was promoted from time to time until
he held the highest positions as head
of departments.
Harry T. Vaules is a brother of
Mrs. G.. Layton Grier and Mrs. Anna
Carlisle, both Of Milford, and visited
the home of his nativity frequently
during the passing years, where he is
by many of the now old
er citizens of Milford with pleasant
memories Of his genial and happy dis
position.
Harry T. Vaules at the time of re-
tirement was manager of the diagram
room of the division passenger agency |
IN New York City and made his home
IN Railway, N. J.
The total number of Pennsylvania
employees pensioned since January 1,
1900, when the department was start
ID, is 1926. Of these, 8218 have since
lied, leaving 7017 now on the roll.
Pensions have been paid in the sum
# $4,000 ,639.97.

STATE VETERINARY SOCIETY
Conference Held With University
Animal Industry Staff.

Members of the Delaware State
Veterinary Society met at the Uni
versity on December 21st, for the an
nual meeting of the society and for
a conference with the University An
imal Industry Staff. Dean and Direc-
tor Charles A. McCue welcomed the
members to the University and de-
livered an address on the Relation
of the Veterinarian to the Live Stock
Interests of the State" In his talk
Dean McCue called to the attention of
the members present the rapid strides
being made within the State in dairy
ing and swine production, the phen-
onenal growth of the poultry industry
within the State and the necessity for
investigational work and research in
live stock, production and disease
problems. He stated that Delaware is
the only State east of the corn belt
that produces an excess of corn and
that the University was advocating
the feeding of its corn crop to swine
rather than exporting this product.
Dr. C. c. Palmer, head of the Animal
Industry Department of the University
the members on the work
the Animal Industry Department is
doing for the live stock interests of
the State. His talk was concluded by
a resume Of the research and investi-
gational work underway in the de-
partment.
The investigations upon live stock
and poultry diseases proved to be of
special interest to the members. Poul-
try diseases received considerable at
tention as well as contagious abortion
in dairy cattle and hog cholera in
swine.
DR.. Ruhl of Milford invited the So
eiety to hold it's summer meeting at
Rehoboth.
Newly elected officers were DR.. Har-
~ Mcdaniel, Dover, president; DR.. c.

PENSION COMMISSION MEETS
Mothers Pension Commission Holds
Annual Monthly Meeting.

The Mothers Pension Commission
held its regular monthly meeting in
Wilmington, on Wednesday, December
goth, and were in session for the en-
tire day.
Miss Frances A. Griggs, the execu-
tive secretary, states that the commits
sion is distressingly handicapped by
the lack of sufficient funds to carry
on the work in New Castle county,
with SO mothers and 260 children
needing the aid of the State. This is
a serious situation, due to the fact
that Wilmington is the largest city in
the State, and an industrial center;
also because of the fact that when the
last legislature was in session the
Commission then had 81 on their wait
ing list, and were refused the in
crease then asked for, so that the SO
mothers includes some who have been
waiting since 1919. This deserves the
attention of every thinking man and
woman.
Several amendments to the existing
law were considered, an important one
being that of residence. Under the
present law a mother receiving a
pension must have a continuous resi-
dence of at least three years. This
clause is designed to keep mothers
from moving in from other states with
the expectation of profting by the
pension. However, in some few cases,
this clause has worked a hardship,
because of the fact that some mothers
having been residents of Delaware all
their lives have been forced by econ
omic necessity to leave their native
state, returning perhaps in less than
q year, widowed and in need, but fore
ed to wait the full term of three years.
The amendment will ask that such
will be allowed consideration
at the end of one year.
OF fifteen cases considered, three
we're granted pensions, five were in
and two discontinued.
The members present were: Miss
Julia Burton, Georgetown; Mrs. JOS
sph M. Lank, Milton; Mrs. I. Layfield
Long, Selbyville; Miss Cora c. Tsch-
Idy, chairman, Smyrna; Miss Lizzie
Milford; Miss Marie T.
lockwood, Middletown; Mrs. Charles
3. Jacobs and Mrs. Howard L. Pyle, Of
