the death of Mrs. Jacob COunselman

been an invalid for more than a year
but bore her suffering patiently with
Christian fortitude. Mrs. Counsel
man was a lovely woman, interested
in every movement for the uplift of
the community, with a cheerful per-
sonality that won her many friends
and kind heart that always re-
sponded to the call for charity. She
was devoted to her home and fam
| lily. She is survived by her husband
and one son, Gordon COunselman,
a sister, Miss Ella Skipper and a
brother, Charles Skipper, of Balti-
more. Funeral services will be held
from her late residence on Friday at

Next Thursday night, February 12
marks the date of the biggest bask-
ct ball contest ever held in Freder-
lea when the famous team from Cam
bridge, Maryland, plays the Freder-
lea A. G. Those who follow the
sports and keep up with the news
paper accounts of the various teams
need not be told that the Cambridge
team has the reputation of being the
fastest on the Eastern Shore. They
have beaten several Independent
teams from Baltimore and lost to
Washington College by only one
point. After considering the record
of this team, is it any wonder that
I,O - Of
ball event ever held in Frederick? 1t
gives the local fans their first
chance to see a team that is rated
among the best in two states in ac-
ton on the local floor. The price of
admission to the Frederica-Ca
bridge game will be the same as
usuaI-twenty-five cents. Efforts are
also being made to arrange for. a
dance after the game. Further an
concerning this will be
made later.
An effort is being made by the
Home Economics Department of the
high school to secure cooperation
of pupils and parents in order that
hot lunches be prepared and served
to those bring cold lunches.
A cup of hot cocoa, a bowl of hot
soup or other nourishing dish to
the cold lunch will
prove beneficial to the health of the
child and secure better results in
mental efficiency.
