Milford chronicle., 1929-03-15

Your correspondent was present
at the grand rally of the Red Men
in the Armory Hall at Milford on
Saturday evening last.
Nearly all the tribes in Kent and
Sussex counties had their chiefs and
warriors present.
The parade of the two degree
teams of Wilmington and Glendale
dressed in their full Indian regalia,
led by the boys band of Milford and
followed by the drum and fife corps
of Wilmington was fine.
The billy goat which formed an
important part of the parade was
looked upon with disfavor by those
candidates who would soon be call
ed upon during military ceremonies
to endeavor to ride him.
After the parade was over the
public meeting was held in the hall.
Great Sachem G. H. Hall of H., pre-
sided. He in few remarks introduce
ed U. S. Senator Daniel o. Hastings,
the principal speaker of the even
ing. The Senator in neat speech
compared the living conditions of
labor classes of today with those
who lived forty or fifty years ago.
He spoke of many things men of to-
day have which were unknown years
ago. He said the automobiles, tele-
phone and radio were a God send to
the people living in progressive
times such as are existing today. He
further said that men engaged in
the business school of today could
not be successful unless they called
to their aid the many improvements
now being and already made to help
them to expedite their business with
a rush. Mr.. Hall then introduced
Edward McIntire, Great Chief of
Records, who spoke upon the pro-
gress the order was making in Della
ware and elsewhere. He dwelled
largely on the great good being ac-
complished by the Red Mems Home
located at Newark, and said that the
comforts which the inmates recelV-
ed were of such nature as to make
them contented and happy. He also
spoke of the care of the orphan chill
dren of deceased members, said they
were carefully looked after, until
they became of that age to support
themselves. Mr.. McIntire by his ad-
dress showed that he was. thorough
ly imbued with Redmanship, when
he predicted that the Improved Or
der OIL. o. R. NJ. now one OF the
most prominent fraternal organlza-
lions existing today, but would soon
stand at the head of the list.
After the public meeting was over
the degree teams proceeded to init
late the sixty-fve candidates pres
ent.
The floor work of the two teams
was very fine and brought forth
words of praise of those who were
present.
Those who were present say that
it was the largest gathering OF Red
Men in one body ever seen in the
State of Delaware at any one time
It showed conclusiVely that this Or
der is alive and working for better
things. Such a coming together OF
members of any fraternal Organlza-
ton will give it prominence which
it would not otherwise have.
Mechanics Taking On New Life
The Junior Order American Me-
chanics of Glendale have taken on
new life. Many new candidates are
proposed or taken in at each session
of the council. This order is one OF
the best fraternal organizations IN
existence anywhere. 1t is truly an
American institution and stands for
all that is good, for the people OF
the United States.
Virtue, Liberty and Patriotism, the
basic principles of the order mean
much. 1t means more love for our
country and it's grand old flag. More
love for the Bible, the inspired word
of God, that it shall be kept at all
times in the public schools OF this
State and more good things which
we have not space to enumerate.
We think such an order that means
so much, is worthy of the confidence
of the public at large.
School Notes
Frank M. Jones, Esq, a prominent
lawyer of Georgetown, on Wednes-
day evening last, delivered a very
interesting address before the civil
and parliamentary law school now
holding weekly sessions in the pub
lie school building. Mr.. Jones in ans
wer to the many questions asked by
the persons present, What KIND OF
privilege should person take in en-
tering into law suits of certain
kinds" The answer given by Mr..
Jones, from legal standpoint, was
quite different from what they ex-
pected to hear. This session was of
unusual interest throughout.
The singing school which general
Nv follows the closing of the law
school, is not generally as well at
tended as it should be. We would
think any community which is in
need of musical education as some !
of the people of Glendale are, would |
lump at the offer of free instruction
which they offer to give without cost
to anyone, who will attend.
AS here will be only a few more
sessions held at this point, turn out |
in full force and make Mr.. and Mrs.
Guyer understand that you are more
than satisfied with the sacrifices
which they are making in coming to
this town.
ArcherSs Tomato Factory To Run
1t is reported that Archer's toma-
to factory will run to its full capac-
ity this year. This will be welcome
news to our farmers who like to
raise a few acres of tomatoes each !
year, so as to give them a little
ready money during the dull season
on the farm, when other crops are
not ready for market.
Our people like to grow goods for
Mr.. Archer. He has proven himself
fair under all circumstances. If our
farmers could be induced to grow
beans of different sorts in sufficient
acreage to warrant some Gamer to !
