Bridgeville sponsored a CHECKER
salad supper followed by speeches
in the club house, Monday evening
January Is.

supper and for the entertainment.
The children gave a very interest

ratified, gave the dates and the num-
Der of votes cast for and against the

some present to hear how many
States passed it unanimously.

ion NJ. E. Church, was POSTMASTER
and called on Rev. Duhadway for the
first toast His remarks were very

ballots, men who stood right on this
| temperance question.

of a poem entitled "My Views Re-
garding Prohibition" written by l..
w. Hurley of Seaford.

e. Prettyman, Superintendent of
Delaware Division Anti-Saloon
League, who gave us a very fine adj

mington in 1927 as something over
1900 as against over 1900 in 1919.
