WRICHTSTOWN
INDIAN PAGEANT

One of the modern newspaper
writers said recently that he would
give all he possessed had he not read
some Of the Dumas stories that he
might again have the pleasure those
books gave him as Il boy.
How many of MS would not give
valued possessions to again have the
pleasure Of reading the Leather
Stocking Tales Of }. Fenimore Coop
en-. All Of the peoples Of Europe
have read TRANSACTIONS of these
American stories and yet few of us
realize how truly local many of these
characters were,
The Delawares--the Lenni Lcnapes
the Mohicans---all the finest types
Of American Indian lived for many
years on the banks Of the Delaware.
Some of the old trails covered the
same routes that we travel daily in
our automobile. Recent surveys have
discovered long forgotten trails,
strange tales Of Indian legend have
been revived, some Of them 10 the
honor of the Red Man. and sad to
say, TO the dishonor Of some Of the
whites.
Many traditions lost TO sight in our
busy days recall the White Maiden Of
the Delaware, the Walking Grants,
unbroken though unwritten treaties
between white man and red.
Rev. II. h. Barnett, of Wrights-
town. whose trip last year through
Liberia still remains one Of the UNI
heralded exploits Of Jungle travel,
was impressed by the tribal histories
Of the natives of Liberia.
Through some strange sympathy
the histories of all tribal peoples are
similar and although Mr.. Barnett has
been in Wrightstown but a short time
he has been fascinated by the rich
source Of Indian tradition. TO bring
back the days Of long ago and TO re-
call TO the young people the true his
tory Of Bucks County he is planning
to have the twelve ehapels connected
with the County Center Mission join
in re-enacment Of early Incidents
leaading to the final settlement Of
Wrightstown and the early estab-
lishmcnt of the Church in Bucks
County.
At meeting early this week plans
were completed and the various in
cidents are now in rehearsal for the
re-euacting Of Playwieky Playday AT
WriRhtstown on Saturday, june 30.

Number ever turned out in one year in
any school in Hunterdon County, was
the record
There were numerous innovations,
due chiefly TO the size of the class.
Class Day exercises, held the previous
day in ST. Andrews Hall, were run in
two shifts to accommodate the under
graduates, and also the friends and
relatives of the graduating class
Caps and gowns were seen for the
first time, locally, at the commence
ment, and We're real necessity if
rivalry was to be eliminated
Diplomas were not handed out with
a lengthy flow of paternal advice ac-
companying each one, as it would
have meant an all-night session, but,
instead, Andrew j. McClinton. presi-
dent of the Board of Education, gave
out one diploma, and this was passed
from hand to hand MS Il symbol Of
the giving and receiving Of the
"sheepskin." Later the real diplo-
mas We're handed out en- ma5se.

WOULD BE A BLESSING FOR
LAMBERTvILLE

II would be blessing for Lam
bertville If there were a hospital
here to weld the interests Of the peo-
pie in a common cause Of chariy and
civic benevolene. 1t would not be
rash to say that there is no other
city in the state of the same popula-
tion that has so many clubs, lodges,
fraternities and individual organiza-
tons. Bat each of them is self-cen.
tered, working for its own interests
to the complete oblivion OF every.
thing and everybody else.
s--.-----s-- ----.s----s.------------
What blessing ii would be +
there could be common cause that
would line these units up for u oom-
mon interest that would work for the
benefit of the wholel What ire
mendous force could be put into ac-
ton If all these organizations should
unite in one army of civic develop
mentl
The committee in charge of the
Abingdon Hospital Fete announced
that at least $4,000 would be real
lied from their happy time at the
Huntingdon Valley Counhf Cluh
A sum of money that will help hun
dreds of suffering people. And yet
it was secured thru the happy union
of many peoples who got more en-
ioyment than their money was worth
to them, and yet provided for aid to
suffering humanity.
HELP MAKE LAMBERTVlLLE A
BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN
THE HOSPITAL is ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT WILL MAKE IT
so.

INTRODUCING
THE SECOND VAMP

Now that the echoes of "The
Vanao' no longer move our feet to
particular gyrations on the dance
floor, nor exercise our ears as we &c
about the street, comes the Second
Vamps to disturb the quiet and add
maybe to the general enjoyment of
times and things in Lambertville OF
more particularly in the home of the
old reliable Snag Proof Boot.
There is many business that new
er gets beyond the printed station
airy stage, and it is always better to
reach around and pat yourself be-
tween the shoulder blades when your
arms have been exercised by few
months of vigorous work. So we
won't say too much about the "Snick-
ers" in the first installment.
We hope each department viii have
something to say each week, even
tho they are not all here this time in
full strength. Anyone who feels like
bursting into print is always welcome
Whatever comes into this "colyum'
or whatever stays out it aims to
be good-natured and neighborly. Its
excuse for existence is the fact that
we all of us do our part toward max
ing "Snag Proofs and "Snag
Proofs" do their part toward making
LambertvilIe. We are all friends and
ueighbors interested in the activities
Of each other And Smokers" is CO.
ing to be the weekly outlet and eN-
change for news and rumors, gossip
and fun.
