WANTS GLENDALE
NEWS PRINTED In FULL


Ellegood, of Glendale, who has oc
casionally contributed much new
from that town to the Chronicl
which was always of interest to tn
citizens of Glendale, and to man,
readers in other parts of Delaware
At one time he was a regular-week
ly writer of the news from that par
of Sussex county for the Chronicle
but illness for the past year or more
stopped his writing. We welcome hi
return and no doubt many will als'
welcome his appearance in the col
umns of the Chronicle again, will
personal pleasure. His ripened eX
perience in public affairs, and thu
life of Delaware, is a fine granary OF
which to draw for weekly letters il
the Milford Chronicle.-Editor)
Dear Editor
1t appears strange to me that q
weekly correspondent from Ellen
dale to the Milford Chronicle is moi
writing for it's columns, who would
not only take delight in writing the
personal happenings of the town and
vicinity, but tell of the real doings
in matters of public concern; the
churches, the schools, the business
undertakings, the improvements, etc.
There is plenty OF news for each
week along these lines TO make UP a
full column of interesting reading
for the folks in and about Glendale,
that would set them thinking, or dis
cussing public affairs. The personal
news is all right and should be writ
ten regularly; but there is some
thing above and beyond the personal
equasion, and that is the welfare and
advancement of the entire cOmmun-
ity in public interest. That is what
makes progress and increase in val
ues of property, when put across
The only way any community can
be kept in the limelight of public in
terest, is to BOOM 1T all the time.
l do not criticise the writer's of tie
letters, but would be glad for them
to cover their territory in all its
possibilities, and therefore make
themselves of more value in dollars
and cents as part of the correspond
ence force of the Chronicle. Just ac-
cept the suggestion in the spirit it
is made, and Glendale, the writer's
and all the people will be helped
thereby. The results will come af-
ter awhile; do not be discouraged,
for the public is slow to express APP
proVal, until it has been earned
and confirmed as a fixed product.
Glendale holds open doors to
those who will settle here and will
do all that can be done to make the
stranger welcome and successful in
his efforts. No town will reach the
importance it is entitled to reach,
because of its advantages, by reason
of the fact, that its advantages are
not kept before the public. In such
cases a town or village may seem to
thrive for a time, but the interest
dies out and the public forgets they
exist. Lets start a new era for Ell
lendale. Let the old with the young
er generation meet in fellowship for
this much to be desired end, to have
Glendale before the people all over
Delaware. Do something to start
people talking, over affairs other
than crimes, and disorderly conduct.
Ignore such as undesirable news,
and make everybody think Glendale
is only a short step this side of Par
adise. 1t can be done. Will you
help do it?
We Are Proud OF Our School
Every man, woman and child in
Glendale is proud of the new public
school, that has been built and occu-
pied within the past year. 1t is
brick structure after the most mod
ern lines and equipment Well light
ed, commodious and ample play
grounds for children to learn how to
play, and so build up a fine body as
well as train their minds for higher
education. 1t has five class rooms,
which are gems in equipment, size
and sanitary conditions. The large
auditorium not only accommodates
the assemblage of all the children
each day before the beginning of
work, but it also affords to the peo-
pie of Glendale and vicinity an as
sembly room with modern comforts,
where they can listen to lectures, ad-
dresses, or hold Parent Teacher AS
sOciation meetings, or other activi-
ties of and for the welfare of all the
people. With the cloak rooms, lava
tory and toilets, and other convent
ences, we doubt that another school
in Delaware excels the new school of
Glendale. The attendance and pride
of the teachers and scholars in the
building, has already shown that bet
ter work in education is being done,
than was possible in the school
buildings of the past No Sir, the
past conditions are not equal to
those that Glendale has in the liv-
ing present, for it's children as to ed
ucation. 1t is a credit to the builder
and monument of progress as to
the Spirit of Glendale. That's that.
Handsome New Home
Robert ("Bob') ]. Clendaniel has
just completed a large and hand
some modern dwelling, that adds
greatly to the east side of Glendale,
which is equipped with every mod
ern appliance; electric lights and
heating appliances, running water,
baths and is a home that any man
might be proud to call his own. The
house warming will be a feature for !,
the near future, when Bob" and his ,
family will make all the friends
and they are legion, happy to have
been present. More power to real
men who do things for themselves ,
and the public as we'll
