On Sunday evening, December %, at
1880, a Christmas pageant The CHRIST
mas Flowers will be presented by the
children of the Salem NJ e: Church
school, assisted by a chorus of women s
voices, under the direction " Mrs. NOR
man Davis and Miss Grace Johnson.
The pageant is being directed by MISS
Ruth Lindseth, the director of Religious
Education, and she is being assisted by
Miss Pauline McCabe who has charge
of the costuming, and Mrs Lee Stevens
who has charge of properties. The pub
lie is cordially invited to attend.
w. r. McCabe is now enjoying new
Bosche radio, console style. The ma
chine was presented to him by his son,
Thomas Bayard McCabe, Swarthmore,
Pa, president of the Scott Paper Co.
On Friday evening, December 13, the
Selbyville High School basket ball teams
split even with Georgetown at George
town. Georgetown won the girls game
by the score of 26-6 The Selbyvflle boys
won by large margin by score OIL
63-12. The home team showed up very
we'll when it is remembered that this
was their debut to the basket ball
world.
A few more good books are now on
the roster of the Selbyville High School
Library.
"The Leather Pushers," H. c. Wit
wer; "The Music Master" This book
has been novelized by Charles Klein,
staged by David Belasco and played by
David Warf1eld.
It might be well to say to the pub
lie that each pupil in the six upper
grades is compelled to make 30 points
of reading credits per year. The State
Board has wisely provided that these
credits shall not all come from one au- |
thor, but must be scattered over a va |
riety of subjects and authors. For in
stance a book of Zane Grey's only ,
counts points; a boy might not read |
Is of these books and get credit for 80 |
points. He at the most would only geIl
points credit from any one author.
The reading must cover, travel history,
fiction, biography and scripture, mar
ration and current events or treatises
as the judgment of the teacher may die
tate.
Mrs. Hazel Roberts and daughter,
Gwen, of Milford, have come here to
make their home with Mrs Roberts
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. T. Hudson.
Mrs. Pasher Watson, Sr., who has
been very ill at her home is improving

Meats" was the name of the moving l
lcture shown to the pupils of the Sell
yVille school this week. There were q,
ictures of the wide open spaces" the '
Milling cattle herds, and the cowboys
s they branded tine mavericks and as
hey ate from the 'chuck" wagon. The I
anitary dip-bath was given to sheep,
attic and pigs. The large stock yards
ppeared where animals are corraied n
Y the thousands; evidence of the num- p
er was gathered when an alligator =
ucket" was used to drop feed to the h
gs, from a car load of garbage. The
cture gave the complete story-the A
eding ranges, the stock yard the alb
,tOir the meat market and the roast
it was sliced and served at the fam ST
= table. Independent of the facts Civ
/ in the picture few gleamings 49,
light be given about poultry A poultry "
rent has given some interesting de-
lis; according to him, 100000 chick vi
IS were raised last year in Sussex s.I
unity and a large part of these were l
ipped as ''broilers." There are five at
unties in the United States which are tn
lderS in poultry production. Sussex L,
W ranks as one of these. The climate HO
d soil of Sussex are ideal and the
ultry is immune from many pests CT
lich are injurious in other communi-
S. But there is another reason for
2 growth of the business, which has
rung up here a mushroom in the past th,
rht year-that is the market. To gain ali
me idea of the accessibility to mar GU e,
is take Philadelphia as a center and Su
tn a radiuc of 200 miles draw a 3-4
Gle: you will find about 1-6 of the wi
Of tho Tinted States within
