Last Pilot Of Milford
built Ship Recalls Ad-
UentHreS.

Some time ago, in one Of the. ar
ticles in our paper, mention was
made of the time when Milford was
the home port for score of sailing
vessels, and that out of all the cap
| tains who sailed these vessels only
two now were living, Capt. Hendrix
son and Capt. Gale Smith. Capt.
Hendrixson has been interviewed
and seemed delighted to tell of the
days when he was the master of a
ship. Capt. Hendrixson came to love
the sea through his father who was
the captain of a ship, and happy in
deed were the days that ne spent
along the banks of the creek watch
ing the boats being loaded and un-
loaded by the crews aided by the
chargers who came for or brought
goods on great two-hOrse shays.
Eddie as he was called by members
of his fathers crew would some
times be allowed to take one of the
row boats and row up and down the
creek.
Capt. Hendrixson also remembers
that how on more than one occa-
sion he would be sent to The store
for liquid refreshments for the men
in the form of whiskey, which could
be obtained for the price of fifty
cents a gallon. AS Eddie grew old
er he found that he was being drawn
closer to the sea. Finally he Cb-
tanned his fathers consent and be-
came a sailor, then started the hap
py days, days filled with adventure
and hard work.
Time passes and with its fight
comes many changes. Eddie is now
a captain, and proves to be one of
the best of the lot. AS a captain,
Hendrixson was great success,
mainly because he won the respect
and devotion of his crews. In tell
ing of his different experiences he
recalls the time when the vessel he
was sailing was run down by coal
barge, and how he, together with
his crew, narrowly escaped death.
It was at this time that Capt. Hen
drixson's presence of mind saved
the lives of his crew for they were
asleep in their hunks and he was
on watch, when he perceived the
danger from the barge ne called his
men to come on deck, and ordered
them to place themselves in the
small boats, so that they would not
risk their lives unnecessarily. Capt.
HENDERSON was always like this,
thinking always of the safety of his
men.
The last vessel that Capt. Hen
drixson sailed was built for him by
the Vinyard Shipyard, and was the
last sailing vessel to make active
runs between Milford, Philadelphia
and New York. 1t was called the
V. Hendrixson after its cap
tain, and is still in active service in
other waters. Capt. Hendrixson eX-
pressed his sorrow at the fact that
Milford was no longer a shipping
center, but laid this to the fact that
pine which was the principal cargo
for these ships has all been cut on.
Capt. Hendrixson is now the local
and dispenses justice as
only man of his years and expert
snce could do.

WHAT FOOT BALL
MEANT TO ME-

Now that the foot ball season is
over, and the fury and enthusiasm
has died away we may well pause
to wonder just what it is all about
and why the boys really seem to
enjoy rolling around in mud, eating
dirt, and acquiring black eyes. Sew
eral weeks ago each boy in the
class of '32 who has played foot
ball this season was asked to write
his reactions to the experiences of
the game. All agreed on certain
things; for instance, all Joined in
praise of the ideals of sportsman
ship which their coach tried to in
still into them, and most of them
showed an appreciation of the clos
er feeling of comradeship that
springs up between teammates. We
reprint one of the papers as sub
mitted:
"When 1 heard foot ball was COM
ing to Milford, 1 felt as though 1
was going to learn something. Foot
ball existed in Milford before I
came here, but 1 had never had a
chance to play before. The boys
would talk about the great games
played by the different universities.
l could not engage in these talks
because of not knowing anything
about the game. Passes punts, line
plunges, tackles and end runs meant
as much to me as picking apples off
pear trees. Because 1 was a green
horn, the first night of practice al
most discouraged me.
There began my hardest task. The
first night was a complete failure.
/ felt as badly as a hawk after he
is chased away from his prey by the
martins. That set me to thinking
of a way to get out of foot ball 1
was going to quit but the coach
talked to us. That helped me a
great deal. The second night I be-
gan to understand something of
real foot ball. The result of four
nights practice meant loss of five
pounds. Instead of losing 1 wished
to gain, because weight means lot
in foot ball. Since the fifth or sixth
night of hard play have liked the
word foot ball" l guess it is be-
cause l know what the word means.
There is more than just the ad-
vantage of knowing the game. 1t
cultivates the mind to a better
standard of thinking, keeps the
mind, eye, and muscles alert to get |
the signals, escape tackles and be |
ready for a hard fall. I think foot |
ball is a better exercise than physi- |
cal education. The movements ex-
ercise all the muscles and organs in
The body. After the loss of a few
pounds, there is a gain of a few |
pounds plus a few more. The body
gains in strength and weight.
1 am sorry have not had the op-
Dortunity to play the game before.
If boot ball is played next year, I'll
be on the job.

BANK! BANK!
Big Improvement This
Week

Congratulations, Seniors, we're
glad to see that you have come
from your 1870 last week to 1870
this week. Your boys are still way
behind. There were only two to de-
posit. Yerkes and Lambert were
the only boys who came out and
showed their colors.
We ought really to have congrat-
ulated the Freshmen first for they
brought up their percentage from
1870 to 500 due to the fine work of
little Mary Vinyard and Watson
Shew.
The whole High School would
have had good records this week
had it not been for the Sophomores.
Only six Sophomores out of fifty
eight deposited.
Miss Kinder's room was, at the
top of the depositing list with 8696.
Mrs. Nemish's room came next.
The Junior High School is good,
but can be better. Mrs. Nemish's
room led their list.
There was $61.SO deposited this
week. The school had fifty more
depositors this week than last.
Come on! Let's deposit! Don't
let the Grammar School be able to
say that we are a drawback to
them.

Girl Reserves
Entertain FrOSh

The Girl Reserves held their sec
ond meeting of the year in the aud
itorium of the Milford High School.
Every member had been given the
names of two freshmen girls to in
vite to the meeting. We were very
glad to have several new members.
After the business meeting at which
we discussed dressing dolls to give
to hospitals the old members gave
two very funny skits, one of which
was about John Smith. We then
played "Who Sir? 1, Sir" and "It."
Just at the right time the refresh
ment committee served us delicious
cocoa and sandwiches. After dane
ing a short time everyone left for
home feeling that the evening had
been profitable and enjoyable.
Everyone hopes that next time
more girls will join our group to en-
joy the good times we will have.
The next meeting will be December
4 at Kathryn Morrison's home on
street.

River for it is too shallow and much
of it has been filled in, other industries
have flourished. Since railroads came
into use the boats are not a necessity

Red Cross Report
For High School

At a very appropriate time, No
vember 10, the day before Armistice
Day, the members of all the classes
in the school showed their national
spirit by contributing to the Red
Cross drive. Anyone, upon entering
his home room, felt the rush of
hands upon him, and heard many
voices shouting in his ear "Come
on, don't let the other classes get
ahead of us. Let's make our con-
tribution 10O96." AS a result, every
class but one did have 1000.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE


To do work with the eyes, which
means also with the brain, one
must keep the body fit. DR.. Derby
describes several instances in which
young men, working for university
degrees or studying into the late
hours of the night on college re-
ports and statements, consulted the
physician because they believed
that their eyes we're breaking down.
In each instance, the difficulty
was not with the eye itself, but
with the person concerned was
centering in the eyes a series of
physical complaints arising from
bad hygiene.
In most instances, the person
concerned feels that the eyes are
at fault because some one in the
family is blind or has very poor
eyes.
When treasured that the eyes are
not concerned, the patient frequent
ly reveals the fact that the illness
of some other person in his family
is the basis for his worry.
There are, Of course, people who
use the eyes as the reason for escape
from uncomfortable situations, just
as there are persons who can not
