FOOTBALL
DOVER SECOND TEAM
DEFEATS MILFORD SCRUBS

The Dover High School second
team beat our second team in a hard
fought battle on Thursday after
noon. The boys of both teams
played good football and everyone
enjoyed the game.
The Milford teams are doing
splendidly for their first year of
football and with a little more ex-
perience we hope to turn out a
winning team for Milford.
Several of our players did nice
work and showed up we'll. The
team had plenty of pep and talked
the game up at every opportunity.
The next game is Friday, when we
play FELTON, here, and we are ex-
pecting a good crowd out to root
for us.

NEEDED, A CHEER LEADER

Should anyone go to one of the
football games that are being play
ed now between Milford and the
+ surrounding schools, he would no
tice that there are no rooters there
from Milford. Surely, the .rooters
are almost as important as the
players, for when, in the midst of
a game, the players hear their own
crowd roofing for them, they feel
that they just have to win.
The reason that there are no
rOOters at these games is that there
is no one to lead them in the yells,
or, in the first place, to get every
one together for a good practice. A
crowd of boys and girls can't go to
a game and, when they want to give
a yell, just tell somebody to get
down in front and try to lead them.
They must practice the yells alto
gether many times, with a good
leader, for when half of the crowd
knows the yells and the other half
does not, the roofing will sound
weak and unemphatic.
A good cheer leader should be
selected, one who will make every
one come to practice for at least an
hour every week. A practice of this
kind would be something to which
all the students would look for
ward, and to which they would not |
need much cOaxing to come, who
does not like to get out End once in
a while yell at the top of his lungs
Let us get together now and Sc
lect a cheer leader from each class
so that the Milford school will be
known for its good rooters and good
sames.

Mrs. Nemish's room had the high
est percentage in banking of any of
the Junior or Senior High grades
last week.
The boys and girls of the eighth
grade are proud to say that the
only girl in Milford High School
who plays a band instrument, and
is in the band is Mary Harris, who
just came in from Glendale School
this year. She belongs to section
81 and she plays saxaphOne.
Section 81 of the eighth grade
is now working on a unit in geo.
graphy. The subject is the New
England States.
On Monday members of section 81
Civics class choose topics upon
which they will each give a talk.
No two could take the same subject
because there are AZ pupils in the
class and So subjects to choose
from. The speeches will be given
two weeks from now.
Although Theodore Townsend |
does not belong to section 81, all of
the pupils miss him very much and
all join in on wishing him a speedy
recovery.
In the lower grades of the school
Art Clubs have been formed. The
officers of Miss Carter's section of
he fourth grade are: President,
John wilkins; vice-president, Mar
on Nailor; secretary, Leroy Wilk-
ms. The committees are: Boards
ind Erasers, Gene Scott and Walter
Townsend; flowers, Peggy ManIove;
library and table. Ruth Murphy and
Dorothy Stevens; pencil sharpener,
Harold Watson; room inspector,
Paul Willis. These officers are
lected for two weeks.

The predecessor of our modern
4 fire fighting unit consisted of a
horse cart and hand pumper both of
which generally failed to respond at
a fire. Milford citizens enjoyed in
spite of all these handicaps excel
len health. believe that the health
of the MilfOrdians was due to a
great extent to the fact that they
had plenty of good wholesome social
life, and while these social gather
ings did not include auction bridge
and miniature golf they were just
as enjoyable, and l rather suppose
that many a budding romance has
been formed at choir practice on
Wednesday night, and Sunday meet
ings were a thing to be remembered
all the week.
OF course there were saloons in
Milford as there were in all towns
at this date, but 1 do not believe
that Milford was any more disorder
ly than any other town of its size,
and probably not as much so.
1t is probably well to mention at
this time that the first attempt at
electric street lighting was made
by Richard Johnson. Prior to this
kerosene lamps had made a feeble
attempt at illumination. The cleo !
trio lights that were installed by I
Mr.. Johnson while having a slight |
over the oil system, were
by no means adequate.
At last we come to the great and
final topic-Milford as an educa-
tional center. Milford has always
led the lower part of the State in
From the days when the
different preachers taught school
to the days when the schools con-
5olidated and used the Masonic
Milford has tried always to
give her boys and girls a better
chance, and at last to eliminate
years of effort on the part of our
citizens we have our splendid new
Iunior-Senior High School to better
'quip us for the battle of life which
most of us must face sooner or

THE BOYS IN BLUE

Football season now is with us
Milford High School right in line
Every player dressed in blue
A better team is hard to find.
Course you know they're just be-
ginning
Every member right brand new
And just to help them win the
games
Let's start them with a cheer or
two.
A cheer for Milford High School
A cheer for the boys in blue
Three cheers for the football team
And the things they're going to do.
At each play until the end
Well be there right in view
To do some lusty roofing
For our High School boys in blue.

In Miss Carters section of the
fourth grade the girls have had per-
feet attendance five days in OctO-
Der, while the boys have had only
two days.
In the sixth grade Art Club the
officers are: President, william
COsden; vice-president, Elizabeth
Stevens; secretary, Marian Affeld.
This club has made its portfolios to
hold all the work done throughout
the year. On these they have put
free-hand cut-out designs, which are
very pretty.
The fourth grade is having a no
vel automobile race to Florida. Ev-
cry point that row earns either
by good behavior or by work is
counted as a mile for their car. In
Miss Carter's section the Cadillac is
ahead with 50 miles. The Austin in
spite of its size is a close second
with 81 miles. The Buick is lead
ing in Miss Hudson's section with |
l21 miles, followed closely by the |
LaSalle with 1OS miles.

FIRE PRESIDENT
RECALLS THRILLS
Business Man Tells Er-
periences During Ercit-
ing Fires Here.

Mr.. Charles E. Varney, in. an in
teresting interview at his home last
Thursday evening, told of two of
his most exciting experiences in
! fighting fires in Milford.
Mr. Varney, who is well-knOwn
for his ice and coal business in Mil
| ford, was a charter member of the
present company, formed over fif-
teen years ago, and is now the
President of that organization. He
takes lively interest in all it's af-
fairs and gives a great deal of his
time to it.
In the first of his stories MIR.
Varney recalled the burning, one
morning in the summer of 1923, of
the old Baxter shirt factory, large
three-stOry frame structure which
stood where the Community Build
ing now stands The fire had start
ed in the upper part and had made
considerable headway before it was
discovered and the alarm given, and
was fairly raging by the time the
1iremen reached the scene. They
played streams of water on the
building, hoping to save as much as
possible of it, and finally sent a
crew of four men-Bill Pierce, Jim
Abbott, Lew Carmen, and Minus
ScOtt-inside to the second story of
the building with a line of hose In |
the meantime the fire was steadily |
getting worse. Those outside then |
saw that the roof was due to give
way before long and that if the
four men inside, who were unaware
of their danger, did not get out in
time they would probably lose their
lives. The only thing to do was to
pull on the hose and hope that the
men would understand. This was
done, but it was only after a long
interval, in which excitement ran
high, that one of the men finally
appeared at a window to see what
the trouble was. The four men
were soon safe on the street out
side and in less than three minutes
he roof supports gave way and the
'oof crashed down into the interior.
BY that time the fire had gained so
much headway that the firemen
;ould only protect the surrounding
until the factory burned .
lown.
In the other account Mr.. Varney
old of their experiences in fighting
fire which destroyed, early in
916, 100-foot cargo boat owned '
" Wilson Vinyard and tied up at
he wharf back of the factory now
wned by the Valiant Fertilizer t
company. The blaze was discover a
d at about or o'clock in the 4
vening. The first thing the firemen b
id when they arrived was to cut b
'ose two other boats that were tied b
the same wharf But there was +
ill danger of setting the factory v
n fire, and so the burning boat was s
llled away from the wharf and Il
stened at a point where the creek "
as narrow enough to allow the B
remen to fight from both sides. a
nce it was impossible to extiE- n
lish the blaze until all the oil and a
lsoline in the hold had burned, the m
'emen could only pour a steady bl
ream of water into the boat in an Of
fort to sink her. They finally got lo
Iough water in her and she went CT
'wn at about l o'clock in the 81
Orning, leaving practically all but ST
e hull burned away. fo

lures will be handed down each

SCHOOL NEWS

The classmates of Theodore
Townsend are sorry to hear that he
is i'll with typhoid fever and will
probably be absent for several
months.
Frances Shockley's friends are
sorry that she is leaving for the
Sunny South and they hope she will
only be gone for a short time. We
all will miss her very much.
Last months attendance for
= group 80 was 96.7 per cent.
Friday morning the pupils of the
school were informed by DR.. Sar-
gent that they would be given an
opportunity sometime next week to
be inOculated for typhoid fever free
of charge. The Board of Health
and the faculty decided that be-
cause of several new cases of ty-
phoid in the last few days, the town |
of Milford should be inoculated, so |
as to avoid danger of an epidemic. |
MimeOgraphed slips of paper re-
questing permission to inoculate
the children are being distributed to
the pupils to be taken home and
signed by the parents. BY refusing
to take this inoculation we are not
only endangering our health, but
the health of those with whom we
come in contact.
An explosion occurred in the
science room the other morning
while the science pupils were at
tempting to make oxygen. The rea-
son for the explosion was said to
have been the impurity of the po-
tassium. No one was seriously hurt
although holes were burned in the Z
pants of Emery Lynch, while an {
other, George Strahle, was burned :
on the hands. ,
