Harrington
37th Annual Christian ERdeaVOr
Convention Opens Tomorrow

local Chamber of Commerce, Ell
wood Gruewell, a well known far
mer in this vicinity, superintendent
of the NJ. P. Sunday School, and
vice-president of the Christian En-
deavor Society, announces that ev-
erything is in readiness for the open
ing of the S7th Annual Christian
Endeavor Convention at the NJ. P.
Church Thursday evening. Miss
Dorothy H. Krauss, of Wilmington,
the president of the association, to-
gether with Mr.. Willard E. Rice,
executive secretary of Baltimore,
Nd, and several other State officers
arrived today to aid the local COM
mittee with its final details. This
is the first time a convention OF
this size has been entertained in
our city and everyone has been
working hard to make the affair
success. Many of the delegates will
return to their homes daily, while
there will be probably $50 that will
| be entertained here during the
convention. The housing committee
/ had quite a task getting homes this
time of the year, account of many
being on vacations and many others
having city cousins as their guests.
The address of welcome for the
town of Harrington will be made
by Harry S. Harrington, president
of the Chamber of Commerce, in lieu
of Mayor George Hurd, who is too
modest to make an address. Rev. E.
H. Collins, pastor of the NJ. E.
Church, will bring greetings from
the local churches, and ElwoOd
Gruewell will extend greetings from
the Convention Committee, and Brin-
