SUSSEX POST NO. 8
Dear Charlie:

Dear Charlie:
1t sure blew up cold in the last
fortnight hain't it, Charlie? Well,
Charlie, things are so quiet down
here that / saw cat chasing a rat
and they were both walking! How
is it in Georgetown? ..
| just got my card saying Sussex
Post No. has been invited to go
over to Laurel. I'll try and sneak
off for that night to see the moving
pictures.
Has John Fisher said anything to
you about the flags for the ambu.
lance? .,..
4 just heard that Bess Hudson
wasn't at the last Auxiliary meet
ing. 1 wonder what kept her from
coming. Something must be wrong.
l think all Armistice Day bills
have been paid by this time and
Sussex Post certainly is indebted to
the Rotary Club for valuable SER
vices rendered. We surely must
thank them.
/ haven't been able to get up with
the new Post Commander to find
out what his platform is so 1 can't
broadcast it.
Do you know, Charlie, that l al
ways do my hardest work before
breakfast and that is getting out of
bed.

NEW CENTURY CLUB

The Milford New Century Club
held its regular weekly meeting on
Monday. The chairman of the day
was Miss Ida ROOsa, who was assist
ed by Mrs. r. j. Lewis. Miss RoOsa
is on the board of directors for the
Delaware Colony at Stockley and it
was through her efforts that large
number of children living at Colony
were brought here and furnished
the program for the afternoon. 1t
was most enlightening to those who
had vague idea of the work that
is being done for these children by
Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Ennis and
their assistants. A play was given
with the children taking the part of
dolls come to life in a doll shop.
Dialogue, singing, dancing and
drills were excellently done. The
music was played by one of the girls
who learns the things she plays by
having some one play them for her
first and then she picks out her
tunes from memory. 1t was a splen-
did entertainment, and the work
back of it all was very evident to
have had it reach such perfection.
The clubs part of the program was
a lighted Christmas tree and bag
of oranges, apples and candy for the
Mrs. Tunis Roosa played
the piano for them which they
appreciated. The driver of
the bus in which they came, Otis
took the trouble to drive |
down town on the way home so that
the children could see the decora-
tions for Christmas. 1t was a fine
day for members and guests.
Toys and gifts for the Colony are
being collected at the home of Mrs.
Robert Griffith and should all be
here by Monday for delivery at
on Tuesday.
Next week is the presidents
Christmas party to members and
heir children. ~

IN THE WINTER WHIRL

The members of the Volunteer
Glass, who gave their musical tea
in the Century Club on Wednesday
evening are justly proud of their en-
tertainment. Each number was so
well done. The play was great. The
girls showed real ability in their
several parts, and the trick of keep
ing a secret was done in the usual
way. 1t looked for a time as if the
tea" part of the program would
have to be postponed for another ev-
ening because of fire, not planned,
in the kitchen, but there are always
resourceful folks around and the
finishing was done in the COmmun-
ity Building kitchen. The social
part of the evening was much en-
jOyed.

Aren't the windows down town
lovely? The one that deserves spe-
cial mention is at Long and Shorts
with the snowy Christmas trees and
the Santa Claus reindeers in the
foreground. And the snow coming
down is very real. 1t seems that
every one has done more this year
to make things look pretty and have
given much thought to the planning.
The strings of lights and the trees
placed along Walnut street with the
big tree in the Plaza make one
wonder how Fairyland would look.
The usual hustle for the celebra-
tion is more evident each day. 1t
would not seem at all like Christ
mas if one were always ready. The
rush seems necessary in spite of the
early warnings to shop while there
is plenty of time. Even Christmas
Eve at twelve o'clock finds us with
just little more to do. Most all eff
forts are in this same direction just
now and there is little time for dis
gression, least of all in a social
way. That must come later.

In the Carpenter Shop
Just Before Christmal


/ / ONG, long ago it was the day
- before Christmas; but the
world was not celebrating Christ
mas then as we do now. In a lit
tie carpenter shop with crude tools
and benches, an apprentice was
quietly planning a sandalwood
block to perfect smoOthness. His
tunic was drawn about his waist
with cord, his hair fell about his
( shoulders in dark silken curls. his
boyish clear-cut features wore the
expression Of peace and love.
Suddenly a chisel slipped, a nun
cried out in pain. A carpenter had
received splinter full in the eye,
piercing the eyeball. Others gath
cred about him to bind up the
wound and sadly shook their
heads. HE will be blind" they
said.
The apprentice worked on calm
~, almost smiling. A great physi-
clan came and removed the band
age. "The eye is sound" he said,
you must have been mistaken. 1t
looks as if it had never been in
jured at ALL"
Il am sure it never was" said
the man. But the other carpenters
shook their heads ana the appren-
tice went on smoothing the sandal
wood.

MINUTE
RUSH IS On
FORF|GHT

Indications today are that the
biggest fight special that ever
pulled out of Union Station, not
excepting the Tunney-DempSey
fight special to Philadelphia, will
leave Washington tomorrow at l
o'clock aboard The Times fight
extra.
Additional cars were being at,
tached to the special train as de
mand arrived today for as many
fight tickets as can be reserved
in New York for delivery to The
Times train as it arrives at Man
haitian transfer tomorrow evening
at 5:45.
All of these laSt-minute fans
were being taken care of, both in
the item of a reserved fight ticket
as well as economical and speedy
transportation right from Union
Station to Yankee Stadium, with
supper aboard the train, which
features are part Of the trip be-
ing planned for the Warrington
public by the sporting department
Of this newspaper.
Even at this late date, fight
fans can go in for as much
of this trip as they choose, it
being possible to see the fight
from reserved seat and pay
ones rail transportation only
for as little as $16.65.
Supper Ien route at the table de
hote spread, being arranged for
those who wish to take advantage
of it, will be an additional $1.5O,
and fast motor bus transportation
between Pennsylvania Station,
New York, and Yankee Stadium,
and return, another dollar, for
those who desire such tranSporta-
ton.
But over and above train trans
portation, the other elements OF
the fight trip planned by this
newspaper, are left to the in
dividual desire. Such Pullman
accommodations, if any, that each
fight fan wants, of course can be
arranged for and he can still
order a $5.25, $13.65 or $26.25
seat at the fight. The $l6.65
budget mentioned above only in
cludes an upper grandstand $5.25
seat and railway round trip. If
you already have a fight seat you
may still take advantage of the
11.40 round-trip railroad fare.
There is but q single re

that being that the purchasers

HARRIS
ARE SOUGHT
IN TRADE
By JOE HOLMAN

CHICAGO, June 11.-From self
observation and a size-up of the
present situation, it is this
writer's belief that the Washing
ton Club is trying desperately to
close a trade which will produce
q hard-hitting outfielder. Sadly
in need of the desired player
and with only a few days to go
before the deadline Sunday at
midnight, it would not surprise
If transaction of some kind
were announced any moment.
There has been no official hint
Of such deal. But, from a COM
mon sense viewpoint, it is diff
cult to understand how Clark Grif-
fifth would overlook any chance
to get his man.
Three clubs have extra players
the washington Club could use.
Bib Falk, regular Cleveland
Indian outfielder could probably
be spared under pressure. And
there is reason to believe that if
Manager Roger Peckinpaugh Of
fered the right proposition he
might land a catcher, which he
needs badly.
The White SOx have two
men whom the Griffmen
could use. One is Carl Rey-
nOlds and the other Moon
Harris, q rookie.
Reynolds, one of the most
promising gardeners in the Amer
lean League, would doubtless
come high. But if the right kind
of proposition were made, it is
logical TO conclude that he might
be spared.
From Chicago source, where
much Washington club news is
released, it is understood that
President Griffith attempted to
snare Reynolds last winter.
Harris. though a rookie,
has many promising qualities,
and might develop in time.
Fred Schultz, Of the Browns,
would come high. This mini
mizes the chances of getting
him.
The st. Louis speedster has
natural ability. If a reasonable
barter could be arranged. there
is passing chance that he might
be lined up.
President Griffith is letting no
grass grow under his feet as the
termination Of the trade period
nearS.

With Jones temporarily out of
