ray, and Mrs. Nellie Parker. of Del
mar; Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar English

bration did not differ much from the
usual program, which was 4 feast
with the proverbial turkey as the
central dinner table attraction with
all the cOncomitantS, accompanied
by a feast of reason and flow of soul,
all of which was followed by 4 So
cial hour of wit and humor, which to
all was a felicitous occasion. All

The pastor of Greenwood charge
with his family and eleven other in
vited guests dined SumptuOusly last
Sunday with Mr.. and Mrs. George

picture; the splendid turkey, brown
ed to a turn, and the usual viands
and fxin' to accompany a well laid
table, brought a quite minute just
before the carving and serving be-
gan. 1t was one of those delightful
affairs we like to think over quietly,
with a good digestion waiting upon
appetite.

rapidly converting their large first
floor room, recently vacated by the
school, into a dining hall fOf this
occasion. A dumbwaiter is being in
stalled so the cooking and dish
washing can be done in the base
ment. Everything is being so al
ranged that 100 people can be seat (
ed and fed at one time. There will |
be no waiting to be served, no
crowding, but instead patrons will
be served quickly, quietly and etli-
ciently. The firemen expect, with eV-
eryones help, to make this years
affair outshine by far their success |
of previous years. Everyone attend !
ing will receive a bounteous meal |
for SOC. Ice cream and cake will be |
served extra at 10 and 5 cents le-
spectively. An effort will be made to
have the many people scattered |
throughout adjoining states who /
recognize Greenwood as their "Old .
Home Town" to come home for this /
occasion and enjoy typical Sussex I
county meal with their relatives |
and friends and renew old acquain- /
tances and meet childhood chums .
they probably have not seen for .
years. If this can be accomplished F.
the home coming part of the affair
will be well worth while.

ance Union of Kent and Sussex /
counties will hold joint institute

lars will be given in the next issue
