TO ERECT HOSE TOWER

In order to properly dry and care
for the fire hose, the Community Fire
Company of Rising Sun has decided
to erect thirty foot hose tower In
the rear of the engine house. AS
fire hose costs about $1.25 per foot,
and it is necessary to have be-
tween two and three thousand feet
for the emergency that may arise,
it's proper care will be seen to be a
very important item.
AS means Of helping to raise
funds to defray the cost of the tower,
about $3.50, the Company has decid
ed to hold tag week" November
% to December 3. and asks the citi-
zens of our community to help pur-
chase the necessary concrete blocks
by buying tags from those who will
solicit you.

CHRISTMAS SEALS

With corps of trained workers
tipping two hundred thousand enve-
lopes which will carry approximate
ly thirty million Christmas Seals to
every corner of the State, the officers
of the Maryland Tuberculosis Associ-
alton at Baltimore have taken on the
appearance of miniature mail order
house,
On Thanksgiving Day throughout
the United States, the tuberculosis
Christmas Seal will make it's twen-
tieth appearance. The Seal this
year is printed in four colors, the
Christmas greens and reds predom-
mating. Santa and his sleigh full
of good things are shown drawn by
four prancing reindeers, dashing
over the snow covered landscape.
In the upper right hand corner is the
Double Barred Cross, the emblem of
the National tuberculosis Associa-
tion in it's fight against the white
plague. At the bottom OF the Seal
is the caption christmas Greetings
and Good Health"
Twenty years ago the Christmas
Seal was unknown in this country as
means of raising funds for health
work, and the deaths reported from
tuberculosis in the United States
that year were over 100000. Con-
trast that with the number of deaths
from the disease in the United States
last year. Records show that after
nineteen years of efficient health
work, made possible by the little
seal, and official and voluntary
health organizations. that the death
rate has been cut by more than half.
This MEANS" said DR.. Martin F.
Sloan, President of the Maryland
tuberculosis Association, that our
work is only half DONE"
Mrs. I. d. Davis, of Elkton, Seal
Sale Chairman for this county, is
now organizing the Seal Sale COM
mittee which will assist in what is
hoped will be the most successful
campaign for Health ever launched
in this county.
Thirty million Christmas Seals
have been supplied for Maryland,
and on Thanksgiving Day they will
fall like snow covering every hill
and dell, spreading their message of
Health and Good Cheer They will
sell for one cent each.

WEST NOTTINGHAM ACADEMY
Synod Council Meets With Board OF
Trustees

The Regular Fall Meeting of the
Board of Trustees was held at West
nottingham Academy on Monday,
October 81, at eleven o'clock.
The new members present were
Mr.. John G. Conner, Trenton, N. ].
Mr.. Stewart M. Ward, Rising Sun;
Reverend Joseph R. Sixoo, d. D.,
Washington, D. c.; Mr.. j. Chandler
Pyle, Wilmington, Delaware and Mr..
Paul Freeman, Philadelphia, Pa.
The members of the Council of the
Synod of Baltimore who met with
the Board of Trustees were, Rever-
end Geo. A. Burslem, Dover, Del;
Reverend Roland B. Lutz, Balti-
more; Reverend A. E. Barrows, ID.
D., Washington. d. c.; Reverend
John Duffield, Washington, D. c.
and Reverend Charles H, Bonner,
Wilmington, Del.
The Headmaster reported that Sc
students were enrolled, twenty nine
of whom were boarders. OF these.
ten come from Maryland, ten from
Pennsylvania, five from New Jersey,
one from Washington, D. c., one
from New York, and two from Ohio.
He also reported that the Acadamy
could not comfortably accommodate
more than two additional boarding
students this year, and these would
very likely be enrolled by the begin
ming of the second term in January.
This includes Porter Wiley Cot
tage purchased last Spring; it has
been remodeled and filled with boys.
With possible alterations in dor
mitories arrangements can be made
to house thirty five boys next year.
Indications at the present time are
that there will be more than this
number of applications, and that
some will have to be refused admis-
sion because of the overcrowded con-
dition, not only in the dormitories
but in the class rooms and dining
room.
After the Treasurer's report which
included a statement that subscrip-
tions totaling about $28,0OO have ell
ready been realized from the work
on the Two-Century Fund; some of
these, however are contingent on
reaching certain goals; the trustees
Immediately set to work to devise
some plan for providing for future
growth and expansion, with the hope
that it will be possible to break
ground for the new administration
building in September 1928.
Plans for continuing work on the
Two Century Funds were made, and
man was employed to assist the
Trustees and friends of the Academy
to secure sufficient funds for the new
building.
Synod's Council congratulated
the Trustees and Headmaster on the
rapid progress and splendid improve
ment of the Academy during the past
three years and pledged the strongest
support of the Synod for further ad-
vancement.
