WHAT MAKES
BUSY LIFE
FOR NURSE

"For a fishbone in the throat"
That is about as bad a situation as
one might wish, but here is only a
passing incident among school chill
dren in the busy days of Miss Cub
bage. From her November report
one is astounded at the number Of
injuries Milford school children re-
ceive. There were SO minor casu-
alties and four serious ones. For an
other child bitten by dog medical
attention and police assistance was
obtained. Five other children were
taken to the doctor to verify sus-
picions of contagious diseases. Ten
home visits were made concerning
defects found among the children.
For toothaches always a winter
fad" there was total of IL victims.
During school hours Is children
were ill and had to be taken to the
nurses room for slight treatments
or to lie down. Five children were
taken home this month with tenn
peratures. Perhaps one can realize
what one of Miss Cubbage's days
hold for her when she reports the
of IA cases of impetigo,
the children being in 80 times for
total number of treatments.
This month she started examining
all the pupils for defective vision
and hearing. 179 examinations have
been done up to the present. Three
cases of impaired vision were found
and one case if impaired hearing.
One diphtheria prevention clinic
was held at which $50 pupils re-
,eiVed their first treatments.
Do you wonder that Miss Cubbage
has any time to spare! But she does.
IN our cafeterias she assists and in
through teachers the chill
lren who have inadequate lunches.
Here, pause for a moment and
axe breathing space.

The Use OF Latin
AS l See 1t

Latin is, in almost everyone's
opinion, a very helpful subject. Per-
haps you say to yourself and in re-
gard to your own career, IF l do
not intend to be nurse or doc
tor, what need have I of this lang
uage? 1t is the tongue of no ma
ton" You are mistaken if you have
this idea. Latin is useful to anyone
no matter what he may intend to
be. First, it tends to prevent SPELL
ing errors. Second, about three
fourths of all the words used in our
English language comes from Latin.
Third, it even helps to prevent
grammatical errors. A few derivi-
ties will probably be published each
week. Here are a few. Did you
know any of them?

Boys Basketball
Team Practices
Hard Each Night
Fifteen Minute Scrimmage OF Blues
And Whites Daily

The boys basketball team is
rounding into shape very nicely and
all of the squad are trying hard to
get place on the first team. This
is only the second year in basket
ball for most of the boys and for
some it is their first year. There are
enough boys out every night for
three teams and sometimes four.
Every night the teams go through
the plays that Coach Elliott has
taught them. The team as a whole
is divided into two groups, the blue
and white. The blue group consists
of the boys wearing blue suits with
white stripes and the white group
consists Of boys who have white
suits with blue stripes. Each night
the two groups have a brief fifteen
minute scrimmage.

H. Farnhurst wants her TO pose as
his wife to protect him from vamps
and gold-diggers, as he doesn't
want to lose all his money to their
wiles. The first thing he does is to
give a reception in her honor. There
Sue meets his good-looking young
son and Mr.. Farnhurst meets
lovely vamp. Then interesting COM
plications arise. Meanwhile Mr..
Farnhurst's maid, Nora, who can't
keep secrets, tells her boy-friend,
Jaky Duffy, about the hidden family
jewels which are worth about $780,
900. The two of them cook UP a
plot to steal the jewels, but Nora,
the chatter box, gives the plan
away, and also tells the son, Larry,
that Sue is not really Mr.. Farm
hurst's wife. Of course, when the
burglar arrives Larry comes to the
rescue of his father and his sweet
heart in the end everything turns
out happily though there are a
number of difficulties before that
end is reached. The play was writ
ten by Alice Breme, a member of
the Senior class. We are proud to
say that this is the first time that
such thing has been done and we
are sure this will be a big success.
1t would be worth your while to see
"The Farnhurst Jewels" Don't miss
it.

The plot of "The Farnhurst Jew

the paper. It reads something like
this: "Wanted-young woman. at

CLUB
ENTERTAINS THE
FOOTBALL SQUAD
DIR. Charles NJ. Wharton
Gave A Very Interest
ing Talk

HLast Monday the Milford football
squad was entertained by the Ro-
tary CLUB of this town. At $3.50 last
Monday the football squad assemb-
led at the Windsor Hotel. In due
time the members were seated with
the Rotarians enjoying a wonderful
meal with plenty of mirth and
laughter. At the end of this pleas
ant intercourse Coach Elliott was
called upon by the president of the
Rotary Club to say a few words
about his team. Coach Elliott re-
sponded in a very modest way and
gave the credit to the willingness
that his fellows always showed, but
all the fellows on the squad know
where the credit is due, and we
don't want to forget the assistance
of Mr.. Hanna. After these remarks
on the team Coach Elliott introduce
ed the squad individually to the RO-
tary Club.
The speaker of the evening was
DR.. Charles M. Wharton, director OF
Athletics of the University of Del
aware. Coach Charles Rogers of
the University of Delaware, because
of sickness, was unable to be pres
ent. DR.. Wharton's subject was,
Athletics in Education" He showed
that there was a definite connection
between athletics and education.
He gave evidence that physical
fitness and muscular skill were
necessary to every person.
DR.. Wharton said that education
begins in childhood with the devel-
opment of motor skill and that he
thought that physical intelligence
was the highest form of intelligence.
He referred to the efforts that are
being made to make football a less
strenuous sport and gave as his
opinion that all the safeguard need
ed for the players is the proper
training.
Another important factor is that |
athletes must have spiritual
strength along with physical and
mental strength. Continuing, he as
serted that students develop char.
acter, culture and courage from
sports.
Incidentally DR.. Wharton was the
first All-American to come from
Delaware, and this year Dal Marvel
represents the second All-American
rom this State. In conclusion DR..
showed us some very in
eresting charts and details of the
department of physical education in
Delaware College. Before he fin
shed his interesting talk to us he
old us that the friendships that we
make now carry through life and
Drove to be real friendship. In
bringing his talk to a close he
luoted a little poem:
Let me live in house by the side
of the road,
Where the race of men go by
The men who are good, and the men
who are bad.
Is good and as bad as l.
would not sit in the scorner's seat,
)r hurl the cynic's ban;
let me live in house by the side
of the road,
md be a friend to man.
The members of the football
quad wish to take this opportunity
D thank the members of the Rotary
lub for this very interesting en-
5Ftainment and hope to have pleas
mt connections with them in the
lture. Robert Reed '32

Stories


Sara Grant of Houston has joined
section 81 for the rest of the term.
We had perfect attendance for
two days last week.
We are making a scrap book for
our "a" papers in English class.
Viola Jester and Edward Hill have
the pleasure of doing the printing
for this book.
Each one has a chance to copy
his own work in the book. Everyone
is welcome to come to section 81
and read some of the interesting
stories in this book.
We are studying interest in arith-
metic this month, which happens to
be very interesting.

The Latin word "congregare" has
an interesting history. 1t means ito
gather together" and comes from
"grex" meaning "a flock or herd"
The f1ocks and the shepherds are as
sociated with the church for "con-
gregation" literally meant flock"
and pastor" literally meant "shep-
herd" Don't you see the connec-
tion?
Helen Coffin "a
Milford chronicle., 1931-12-11

Our word "delectable" is derived
from "delecta" which means pleas
ing" Accurate" comes from "cur-
at" meaning takes care of" "Laud-
atory" is a rerivative of "lauda"
which means praise" "Inaudible"
comes from two words, 'in" mean
ing not. and "audio" meaning
"hear." Thus our words remain.

Editors Note-Because of the
self-satisfied way in which the var
ious members of the class of 81
used to smile when they read the
personal sketches which we publish
ed in the two months prior to grad
uation last year we have decided to
provide the same secret thrill to the
members of the class of '32.
Each week one of these sketches
will appear. In order that we may
not assume the vale of judge we
intend that the subjects shall be ar
ranged alphabetically.
To the Seniors we make this sug-
sestion: So live, that your life may
be an open book. To the under
,lassmen we repeat those time hon
)red lines:
Lives of great men all remind us
We say make our lives sublime,
And departing leave behind us

The Adequate Lunch

Is your child buying an adequate
lunch? How much money does he
need to spend if he buys all his
lunch at school? If he does not buy
all his lunch at school what shall
he bring from home to make his
lunch adequate?
The adequate lunch according to
DR.. Lydia Roberts, of the Nutrition
Department of the University of
Chicago, consists of the following:
One half pint of milk or its equiva-
lent in two milk dishes, a fresh
fruit or vegetable and two hearty
dishes. The following menu will
meet these requirements:
Vegetable soup ................ .05
Macaroni and cheese ........ .O5
Lettuce and bacon sandwich. -. .O5
Milk or cocoa .03
IOIdl. 10
If a supplementary lunch is sent
from home and the child has ten
cents to spend at school the follow
ing menu would be suitable:
Meat sandwich, apple, from home
Vegetable soup .............. .05
MIX ''''''' .''..'.......... .OS
crackers .................. e.. .02
Total. l.......... 10
If the child brings a satisfactory
lunch from home consisting of sand
wiches, cake or bun and fruit he
should be given during the cold
especially, S cents for hot
dish. That hot dish should consist |
of cream soup or cocoa in order
to insude some milk as we'll as a |
warm food.
Adequate and wholesome food
will build up body resistance and
good body resistance will protect
the child from colds and other win
Ter ailments. We used to say "An
apple day will keep the doctor
away" The modern version is
Three adequate meals a day will
Eeep the doctor away"

W|CKERSHAM EXPLAINS BILL INTRODUCED IN
 CONGRESS BY NORRIS

1 The Gateway is in receipt of a
 special telegram from Washington
 signed by Delegate James Wicker
 sham which clears up recent press reports that a bill had been intro
 duced to Congress which would have
 one set of judicial officials to serve
 the entire Territory of Alaska in
 steand of the four sets now work
 ing-one for each judicial division. i Delegate WickerSham'S message in entirety said: Am advised press ! reports sent out state that Sen ator Norris bill provides for cne
 set of judicial officials for entire Alaska. This is an error as the
 bill prepared by the Department of
 Justice and the only bill introduced by Senator Norris, as chairman of the judiciary committee. provides for combining the Second and
 Fourth Divisions and to have one set of officials serve them after
 July l."
 WickerSham further stated that there Ifs no certainty that this bill will pass. The bill has no reference to the First and Third Divisions. Should the bill be passed Alaska
 will have three sets of judicial of- ficers; one set for the First Divi- sion, one for the Third and one
 for the combined Second and Fourth Divisions.

SEWARD PONIES RAN AWAY FROM CITY
 BY DECISIVE SCORE

Before great crowd of 2 Mon day night, Referee Groth slapped the Ponies across the shoulders, thereby signifying victory over the City basketball squad.
 Skinner,s shoulders touched the mat in the first round and in the second, Rodgers struck with re- sounding thud. Tn other words, the Ponies practically ran away from the City Stockade with a score of 28 to g.
 The scene doesn't mean a thing because there was plenty of action in all quarters; an interesting game to watch. Lack of practice was pri- marily the downfall of the City stalwarts and it was teamwork which won the game by a decisive score.
 Referee Groth called 'em close for three quarters but during the last spasm, let go both barrels and the lads romped until the gymnas- ium building quivvered as if bend ing before roaring Arctic blasts. Bennie Benson and Eddie Man. they each rang the bell for nine points; A. Peterson, seven; E. Sand beck, two, and A. Rodgers, one. For the City, M. Skinner and R. Paul did the basket work, each garnish- ing four points, their squads sum total

though he may have deserved higher
status. xfIaa
In letter to Thomas jefferson in
August of the year of Tilghman's
death, General Washington said:
Colonel Tilghman, who was formerly
of my family, died lately, and left as
fair reputation as ever belonged to
a human character"
The introduction to the very dis
patches to deliver which Tilghman
braved the elements in the race to
Philadelphia also bears witness to
Washington's respect for the Thigh
man qualities. Addressed to Mexican,
it said:
"Sir: q. Colonel Tilghman, one Of
my aides-de-camp, will have the honor
to deliver these dispatches to your
Excellency. He will be able to inform
you of every minute circumstance
which is not particularly mentioned in
my letter. His merits, which are too
we'll known to need my observations
at this time, have gained my partic-
ular attention and I could wish that
they may be honored by the notice Of
your Exellency and Congress"
Congress took the notice recon-
mended by Washington and voted
Tilghman a horse with it's caparisons
and a sword-but Tilghman, 'unfortu-
nately, was never able to mount the
horse, for, because of Congressional
red tape, he did not get it until the
period of his final illness. He died
without seeing the sword, which was
wrought in France with like delay,
but it has long been cherished by his
descendants.
Tilghman was survived by two
daughters, one born posthumously.
The eldest married another Tench
Tilghman, son of Col. Peregrine
Tilghman, of Hope, and the young
est married Col. Nicholas Goldsbor-
ough, of Ottwell. A great-grandson,
Col. Oswald Tilghman, who was Sec
rotary of State under Governor War
field in 1904-07, still lives at Easton.
