THE CHURCH SUPPER

uSuILul events CIOWu TIE AdLS Suih
mer and early autumn evenings
They come in such numbers that a
problem of selection is oft times pre-
sented. The pity is that there is no
clearing house to regulate the dates
so that cooperation might eliminate
competition as it were.
In this day and generation of So
called high speed existence when we
seem to depend so largely on manu-
factured enjoyment it is indeed re-
freshing treat to attend the average
county church supper or a grange
festival. At these events there is TO
be found a wholesomeness and a
g plenty of food and association for
greater value than the price paid for
the ticket. These affairs are conduct
ed for profit of course, but is a
broader profit than monetary gain
alone. The good folk, who sponsor
and provide them, add to the menu
a measure of good will that makes
one always want to come again.
If the movies lose their appeal,
and enjoyment runs at low ebb,
if the appetite fails and life goes a
little stale, crank up the car and
seek out one of these suppers. In
this prescription you will find a ton
ic that will restore lost appetites,
sooth faded nerves and revitalize a
low spirit all in one evening. Such
good food you have never tasted, un-
less perchance you are a supper
FAM" and such quantities of it. The
good folk, who willingly serve you
are never content until you cry quits
after having eaten your fill. And
such delicacies as you will find
plenty of food of course-but then
added to it will be crisp pickles and
a sauce that sharpens the appetite,
tasty jellies, the pride of some neigh
boring housewife, perhaps a dainty
cottage cheese and dozens of little
touches that the average meal lacks.
Added to this, one finds Opportun-
ity for widening the circle of ac-
quantance, of knowing ones neigh
bors just a little better. We Della
wareans, who dwell together in hap
piness and material prosperity, know
there are no better people to be
found anywhere nor any better place
to spend ones appointed years than
here in Delaware the gem of the
states. To get the most out of liv-
ing is not such a hard job after all.
There are plenty of opportunities
and these countryside events are
part and parcel of them. If you aren't
already county supper fan join up
you're passing up a valuable op-
portunity to add to life's enjoyment. !
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
[From National Editorial AssOciatiOn]
ESPECIAL TO CHRONICLE
Washington, August S1-From
present indications the Seventieth
Session of Congress will be one of
the busiest in many years. Many is
sues of vital importance will come
up for immediate consideration,
chief of which will probably be an
increase in the shipbuilding program
due to the collapse of the Geneva
Reports coming from
the Navy Department seem to indi-
cate that Secretary Wilbur is in fav-
or of a huge increase in ship con-
struction, with emphasis laid on the
cruiser type of vessel.
AS result of the impetus given
aviation by the epochal flight of Col
Onel Lindbergh and other flyers,
Congress will be confronted with the
necessity of considering new legisla-
tion covering aviation. Laws regu-
Iating commercial and military avi-
alton are of vital Importance at the
present time due to the fact that
of men all over the coun- ]
.ry are entering flying schools, and
within a few years traffic in the air
nay become as great a problem as
and traffic.
Various branches of the govern
nent interested in aviation are con- s
recommendations which )
would restrict spectacular flights
nd air races which cause the loss :
# life and heavy expense to the Fed IT
raj government. One of the princi-
'al hackers Of restrictive legislation : :
5 the Navy Department, which has \
cen obliged to spend large sums in il
for aviators lost in trans o
ceanic flights. The prediction is
lade that it will be necessary to ex- +,
end interstate commerce and navi- L
alton laws to cover this new form il
f transportation. d
The question of further restriction h
f immigration will also come up for h
iscussion. Many members of Con-
ress feel that our present immigra- y
on laws are not stringent enough,
nd no doubt quite a bit of discus Z
on will arise.
