OCEAN VIEW

On Monday morning, July 25th, a
number of friends and relatives de-
! cided to leave their regular routine
of work, forget care and troubles,
and go to a lovely spot on Indian
River made easily accessible to
reach by automobile. OF course the
typical Baltimore Hundred picnic
dinners were packed by the ladies.
Some of the men took seine and
crab nets and proceeded to scare
from their hiding places enough fish
and crabs to satisfy the appetite for
sea foods. A fire was made and
soon the enormous coffee pots were
boiling and giant frying pans and
pots were sizzling and stewing, in
charge of the lady with the pink
bonnet, while the other ladies pre-
pared the crabs and fish for cook
ing. The lunches were unpacked
amid the chatter and laughter usual
ly handed around at such times. The
young folks who had been indulg-
ing in water sports were called in
and when the word Eat" was pass
ed around, they did not forget to
obey the command. OF course some
of the table etiquette might have
been censored at times, such as hid
ing a large cocoanut cake under the
table, a lady with a rose colored
dress eating two meals, another
carefully guarding a choice fish
cooked especially for her, another
with a small basin of cooked crabs,
watching to see that no one slyly
took one, and so amid the little
banterings innocently given and
good naturedly, we proceed to do
ample justice to the good things
spread before us.
A charitable thought crept in as a
brother and sister said at one time,
4 wish that every little hungry
child could have a meal like this "
And they themselves are doing their
bit to help others. A silence of sad
ness would creep in when mention
was made of a loved one gone be- !
fore. We noticed the absence of
much talked of parsonage, we never |
even heard his name mentioned
"Old Man Depression" He might |
have been around but no one looked |
for him. Among those present were
NIL clAAu WI OAal CAACG 11uh0Oh
two daughters, Helen Calhoun, Mr.. /
and Mrs. Edward Belts and Mr.. and
Mrs. Medford Justice, of Rehoboth
Beach; Captain Midget and Claud
Hudson, of Long Island; Mr.. and
Mrs. Royal Justis and daughter, Mr..
and Mrs. Clarence Justic and fam
lily, Mr.. and Mrs Elmer Justice and
family, Orlando Murray and family,
Mrs. orman Justice and children,
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Calhoun and
family, Miss Lizzie Justis, Mr.. and
Mrs. e. C. Hooker, of Ocean View,
and Mr.. and Mrs. Elvie Justis and
son, of FraHkford.
The county should receive a great
leal of credit for making it possible
for us to have the good roads to In
lian River at this place. The seem
cry is beautiful, has ample shade
and perfectly safe bathing for tiny
children. After some picture taking
IN da bit of social time, we all left
or our homes, but felt rested and
,heered and could say with one of
I'D, Behold how good and how
pleasant it is for brethren to dwell !
ogether in unity"
