FREDERICK COUPLE WRITE
INTERESTING BOOK.

Much interest is being manifested
by book-lovers throughout the pen
insula in the new book, TUGS AND
BARGES, written by two young
Del-Mar-Va writer's, Mr.. Herbert
James Dodd and Mrs. Jeanette
Belts Dodd, of Frederick.
Tugs and Barges presents a very
professional appearance, bound in
purple cloth, stamped with orange
ink, and wrapped in wear-resist-
ing jacket of heavy paper in purple
and orange.
In an unusual foreword, the
authors explain that they desire to
have readers feel their stories
rather than see them, and through
out the book the readers may be
aware of cascading surges of feel
ing that again and again prove
how faithful the authors have been
to their objective.
The story titles are appealing
to the imagination. The stories
run the interesting gamut of hui
man desires and Illustrations.
In one story, with subtle irony,
the collaboratOrs present the
spectacle of a man who typifies
life's masquerade and pretense. In
another story one glimpses the
tragedy of another less fortunate
Cinderella, who dreamed of escal-
ating to higher social rank, and
paid the price. There is a whole
some flavor, and pointed humor in
several stories, and there is one
that fascinates by it's sheer sim
uous, undulating prose.
All of these and many more you
will recognize among the collection
of vital short stories in Tugs and

REV. WEIGH RESIGNS
TEN YEAR PASTORATE,

For about ten years the Rev.
Samuel G. Welch has been in
charge of the Baptist Church in
Milford, and he has made many
friends who appreciate his interest
in the moral welfare of the COM
munity and public school education,
as we'll as in his church work. He
has announced that the coming
Sunday will end his pastorate, as he
has resigned, feeling that he has
fully performed his duty to the
charge, which was one of the
weakest probably in Delaware.
The people of Milford will say
farewell to both Reverend and Mrs.
Welch with regret, as they have
been associated with many of the
charities of the Christian churches
of Milford, and leave only pleasant
memories of their ten years in
Milford.
He has not announced where he
will be located in the future, but
it is hoped that a larger field with
greater reward may fall to his lot.
