The Carlisle Fire Company was
called early Sunday evening to ex-
tinguish fire that destroyed Ford
coupe belonging to Elijah Baker.
Another alarm was sounded early
Monday morning. This time the gar
age of I. Watson Belts of Frederick
was afire. The building was unoc-
cupied at the time and no reason
for the fire is know. The firemen
prevented the spread of the flames
to nearby buildings but the garage
was destroyed.
The windows of our shops have
been lovely in their Easter attire.
In fact the articles of dress for both
men and women are so attractively
the urge to buy has to
be satisfied. One store added so
much to the beauty of the windows
by the use of fresh cut spring flow
ers. The colors of the present day
clothing are so vivid one has to stop
and admire. Our merchants appre-
ciate more all the time the value of
attractive and frequently changed
window display.
The warm spring weather on Sun
lay enticed the summer residents of
Slaughter Beach to that resort. A
number of people were down look
ng over their habitat. That was in
he morning. The thermometer
dropped twenty degrees in the af-
.ernoon and the thoughts of fur
coats and warm radiators were |
more in keeping with the weather.
The Fourth Division of the New
century Club, with Mrs. E. c. Pierce
is chairman, will give a moving pic
ure benefit in May.
After consideration it was thought |
advisable to postpone the meeting of
he mixed chorus scheduled for the
Iast Wednesday night. The
hurches of the town were holding
oint meetings and it seemed the
light thing to help in attendance
ather than take away the members
f the chorus. The chorus is asked
o be prompt on Wednesday, April
, at 1880, so that a chairman, sec
etary and treasurer can be appoint
d before the regular chorus work,
which begins promptly at eight.
FRS. Annabelle Groves Howell is
upervisor of music in Wilmington
'ublic Schools and is so capable
nat the work with her as director
as much enjoyed. More people are
rged to become a part of the Choir
s. The larger the number, the
reater the stimulus for real chorus
ork. 1t is not necessary that you
lad music, that can be learned, but
our cooperation and your voice
ill mean much to the director and
lie sponsors of this project. ]
