Augustus Brumfeld

Augustus Brumfeld, one of
the oldest residents Of Cecil
county, passed away quietly at
his home on Cherry street, in
this town, at one O'Clock Mon
day morning, in the 95th year
of his age.
Mr.. Brumfield was a man of
unusual mental and physical
vigor, and enjoyed remarkable
health until a few weeks ago,
when his strength gradually
failed, from day to day, until
the end came.
He was the son of the late
William and Amelia Owens
Brumfield, and was born June
16, 1886, on the farm near
Principle Furnace, in recent
years owned by the late Peter
Hartenstine. When a young
man, in his 21st year, in March,
he walked through snow drifts
from his home to Rising Sun,
and apprenticed himself to
John Kirk, whose blacksmith
shop was on Cherry street, on
the site now occupied by the
dwelling of w. Louis Ryan.
Mr.. Brumfield learned the
blacksmithing trade, but after
his marriage, on Oct. 20, 1858,
to Miss Margaret r. Kirk,
daughter of John and Essie
Kirk, of Rising Sun, purchased
and moved to the farm just east
of town, recently owned by w.
Calvin Harris, and devoted his
time to farming and butch
ering.
His wife died about seven
teen years ago, Mr.. Brumfield
disposing of his farm shortly
afterwards, and moving to Ris-
ing Sun, where he had since
lived.
Four sons and one daughter
survive: j. E. Brumfield, train
dispatcher for the Pennsylva-
railroad at Chadds Ford; How
ard l.. Brumfield, of West Ches-
ter, Pa; Clifford and Calvin
Brumfield, of Willow Grove,
Pa, and Miss Mary Brumfield.

constant attendance at her
fathers bedside, giving him
the tenderest of care in his de-
Ginning weeks.

of Rev. A. H. Hibshman. of
West Nottingham Presbyterian
church, of which the deceased
had been a member for some
years. Rev. ]. G. Mccoy, of

They need help. Congress has extend.
ed them aid, but Congress should ex.
tend them more. In addition. we are
organizing an appeal to private individ4
uals to furnish us with the money to
feed the starving children and to fight
tuberculosis, hookworm and malaria,
from one or more of which diseases
three-quarters of the people are suffer-
ing.
We are striving for constructive
program which will place Porto Rico
in the future in position where she
can take care of herself from her own
resources. If we in this country really
mean the words we repeat and the ap-
plause we give to the orators well
turned phrases on tho Fousth of July.
we can show our faith BY endeavoring
to see these million and half Of
American citizens get the chances iR
life that the founders of the Nation be-
leved every citizen should have.

seriousness or prompt line of conduct,
but in themselves alone they are of no
value. That is where we make our mis-
take. We mix the means with the end.
We feel that the celebration is all that's
necessary, much the way some of the
savage tribes l nave known considered
that an offering to their gods atoned
for any type of conduct.
We join the crowd, sit in the audi
ence and applaud the speaker, but hard
ly one in ten of us realizes that this ap.
plause is most meaningless unless it
predicates action. One ounce of action
outweighss in value all the applause
from one end of the country to the

charged by lip service. We feel that
the observance of this national holiday
means merely parades with local brass
bands and orations. Of course, these
count for nothing unless they SYM
bolize a deeper consciousness on our
part.
Personally I have reached the point
:. where I instinctively distrust the gen.
tleman who gets up and announces in
thunderous tones that he is 100 per
cent red-blooded American. AS rule,
such man is satisfied merely with the
statement and does not consider it
necessary to turn it into action. Words
are splendid if they are used to stir con-

should carry with it much
of the significance of a
service in church. In it we
recall the high deeds of the
past and pledge ourselves
solemnly to conduct ourselves
so in the coming year that we
may be worthy Of the ideals
that prompted them and the
sacrifices they entailed. A
good motto for us would bee
"Act as you cheer"
AS | see it, on the Fourth
of July we celebrate the ideals
of our great Republic--icleals
of freedom, justice and equali-
ty of opportunity to which
the founders dedicated our ma
ton. Those are the thoughts
which should run through
our minds during the day,
. Concretely, today we have
an illustration of needed
action on our part, in so far
as the island of Porto Rico
goes. That island has 100000
people who are American clti-
zens and loyal American citi-
zens. 1t is but 100 miles long
by IS miles in width. Those
fellow American citizens of
ours are now struggling UNI
der a heavy burden. They
are scourged by disease; pow
erty is their constant CONS
panion, and economic condi-
tons are desperate. The in-
sular revenues, though we
are devoting 40 per cent of
them to education, are suffi4
Gent to provide only approxi-
mately SO per cent of the chill
dren of school age with OPP
portunity for schooling.
Our Porto Rican fellow citi-
zens are fine people. They are
fully capable of taking advan-
tage of any opportunity they
have. Our mission must be
to endeavor to adjust things
in such a fashion that they
have the chances in life td
which we like to feel every
American citizen is entitled
They can and will make good,
but just at present, due to cir
cumstances, they cannot Gre
ate the chance for themselves.

-T7HE Fourth of July!
4 Even now the mention
IL of that date brings
bocl, +o ,,,a ,,,e,,o<iac

of that date brings
back to me memories
of seething excitement. To all
of us children, next to Christ
mas, the Fourth was the most
adventurous moment of the
year. We little boys had bar
barous way of celebrating it.
For us the day began at II :O1
am. AT that time we crawled
out of our respective beds,
pulled on our clothes and
without a backward glance at
toothbrush or soap, stole soft
iy down the stairs. After load
ing ourselves with packages
of firecrackers, we hoped off
to meet our cousins at some
appointed rendezvous, each
contingent heralding its APP
proach with whatever might
be the agreed signal-whistle
or owl boot
Then together we could
steal through the pitch-black
wood paths, feeling much like
explorers in a far land. In
turn we would visit the houses
of the neighbors, signaling our
advent by a fusillade of fire
crackers. The hazards were
delightful. At any moment
some dog might spring snari-
ing at us from the shadow of a
bush, and bare legs seemed
very unprotected. The climax
was generally capped when
some poor householder, thor
oughly inturlated, would burst
out of the door in his pajamas.
Then we would scuttle into
the srrounding darkness like
rabbits diving into a briar
patch. Once my cousins fa-
Their, in the interest of more
amicable relations with his
neighbors, forbade his sons to
go They went just the same.
That morning we were walk
ing home through a wood
path flecked with clear Sum-
mer sunlight when the sound
of some one whistling caught
our attention. Looking up,
we saw their father coming
toward US, strolling along
shaping his leg with a riding
switch. Something told us
that one of those intimate
dramas was about to be enact

Charges that Ralph E. Updike,
former representative in congress
from Marion county, has had affairs
with women" for two years, were
made in a divorce petition filed
against him by his wife, Mrs.
Charlotte Mae Updike, in Washing
ton Monday, according to dis
patches.
Updike has been living in Wash
ington since he was defeated in
1923 by Louis Ludlow, as Seventh
district representative. He is hold
ing a position as attorney with the
income tax department in Washing
ton.
In Street Scene
Mrs. Updike charged Updike and
a woman with whom he has been
carrying on a courtship, were in
volved in street scene last Sunday,
and Mrs. Updike averred she found
the woman in her husbands car.
Mrs. Updike seeks a limited d.
vorce and alimony.
Allegations that Updike failed to
support her and their four children
also are contained in the petition
She said she left infant twins il
Indianapolis with her parents and
then took two older children, boys,
8 and II, from Updike's apartment
when she found they were not being
cared for properly.
Did Not Inform Her
She alleged she permitted the boys
to remain with Updike while she
sought employment. 1t also is
charged that she remained in In
dianapolis while her husband sought
employment in Washington after his
election defeat, and that he did not
inform her that he had been en-
ployed.
The girl, named correspondent, is
former indianapolis resident, &C
'ording to the suit.
Since Jan. 49, Mrs. Updike alleges,
her husband has given her only $40
for support of herself and the chill
dren. She alleged she has been
working at odd jobs in Washington.
Updike was elected to congress in
1924 and served two terms. Mrs.
Updike was active in his campaign
and was in charge of her husbands
political headquarters here.
When defeated, Updike resided at
2843 Washington boulevard.
