OPPORTUNITY SCHOOL
TO OPEN In MILFORD
Night School For Milford And vi
cinity Will Be Held Twice Each
Week For Ten Weeks.

The Board of Education OF the
Milford Special District in coopera-
tiOn with the Delaware State Bur-
eau of Adult Education will open
two Opportunity Night Schools this
winter, beginning November 80, and
closing February 10.
One of these Night Schools will
be held twice each week for ten
weeks in the main school building
and will be open to native-born
white persons over 16 years OF age
who need instruction in the funda-
mentals of reading, writing, arith-
metic, American history, Govern
ment and geography.
The other night school will be
held in the colored school building
two nights each week for ten weeks
between November 80 and February
10, and will be open to all native
born colOred persons over 16 years
of age who need instruction in the
fundamentals of reading, writing,
arithmetic, American history, Gov
ernment and geography.
While these Opportunity Schools
admit those who are unable to read
or write and are especially for the
benefit of these, they are not re-
stricted to these. Any persons over
16 years of age who feel that they
would be benefited by the instruc-
ton and who desire such instruc-
ton, may receive it without cost.
The sessions are two hours in
length, usually from 700 to 300 p.
NJ.
Those who wish to enroll may
wait until November 80 to do so if
they wish, but it would be OF great
value to those in charge of the
schools if the enrolment might be
begun at once. The Opportunity
School for white people will be in
charge of Superintendent R. e.
Shilling, who will be glad to re-
ceive the names of those interested.
The Opportunity School for colOred
people will be in charge of Princ1-
pal j. Graham Scott, who will be
glad to receive the names Of those
inter
Cor mt teachers from the reg
ular Aty of each school will be
emp ed as instructors.
List year 1853 men and women of
Delaware attended such Opportun-
ity Schools and claimed that they
were greatly benefited by the in
structiOn received.

NANTICOKE INDIANS HOLD
POW WOW THANKSGIVING
Interesting Ceremonies viii Feature
Annual Observance OF Festivities

Preparations are under way for
the annual Thanksgiving pOw-wOw
of the Nanticoke Tribe of Indians
at Oak Orchard. These ancient tri-
bal festivities, having been neglect
ed for more than half a century,
were revived four years ago.
The master of ceremonies is Chief
Wyniaco, otherwise known as Will
liam r. Clark, operator of the sum-
mer resort, "Oak Orchard" located
eight miles from MillsborO, on the
Indian river His genial DISPOSE
tion and friendliness to the pale
faces" have made this autumnal
celebration very popular throughout
the Eastern Shore Peninsula. In
dians, far and near, attend the pow
WOW annually.
The exercises usually begin about
/ p. m. on Thanksgiving Day. Ac-
cording to the age-long custom, the
Indians, in their native costumes,
and seated in a circle, listen to the
eloquent speeches of Chief WyniacO
and the visiting chiefs. This is fol-
lowed by the dances and beating of
the tom-tom.
An abundant and well-prepared
feast is spread before the guests.
During the evening exercises, the
Indians enjoy the ancient war dance
and many other gay festivities
which recall the happy hours Of
their ancestors, the native Ameri-
cans, before the white man settled
on their happy hunting grounds.
Considerable interest has been
aroused here of late in this little
tribe of Nanticoke Indians in Della
ware. DR.. Speck. a university pro-
fessor in Philadelphia, attends the
Pow-WOws each year, and is doing
some research work in connection
with the history of the tribe.
Chief Wyniaco and his wife, Flor
ence, have five sons and one daugh-
ter The mother is very proud that
her boy, Ferdinand. enlisted as a
private soldier in the World War,
and took part in the fighting in
France. Another son, Charley, was
in government service, working on a
food ship, crossing the ocean four
times.

MERCY RECOMMENDATIONS In
MURDER VERDICTS OPPOSED
Chief Justice PenneWill Thinks
Time Ripe For Change In Law

"The law of this state which
gives the jury the right to recon-
mend mercy in a case like this is
unfair to the court and ought to be
repealed"
This statement was made by
Chief Justice Pennewill in the
Court of Oyer and Terminer yester-
day in sentencing to life imprison-
ment William H. Wallace, who was
convicted of numbering his wife
near Delmar in September. The
jury last week in finding Wallace
guilty of murder in the first degree
recommended him to the mercy of
the court.
Under the law if the verdict is
guilty of murder in the first degree
the law provides the prisoner must
be sentenced to be hanged. The
law, however, further provides that
in case of a recommendation by the
jury for mercy the court has the
option of either sentencing the
prisoner to be hanged or to life i'm
prisonment. The judges who sit in
this case are of the opinion that the
law should not allow the jury to
place this responsibility on the
court and consequently suggests
the repeal of that section of the law
which allows the jury to make such
a recommendation thereby transfer
ring the responsibility to the court.
Chief Justice Pennewill, who
with Associate Judges Richard S.
Rodney and Charles S. Richards
sat in the case, stated in imposing
the sentence, the courts views on
the law, as follows:
1.-THE majority of the court are
unwilling to impose the death SEN

TURKEYS NOT TO BE
SCARCE THANKSGIVING

You need not worry about
the possibility of Thanksgiving
sans" turkeys, for, according
to officials of the State Board
of Agriculture, turkey and
other poultry will be in the
local market in normal quanti-
ties during the remaining days
between now and ThanksgiV-
ing Day. 1t is also said that
there will be no boost in price.
According to reports from
Washington, the turkey crop
throughout the country has
tiOurished in the past nine
months, and there is every in
dication the supply will be
plentiful and prices reasonable.

My way of getting through this
