A Trip To Slaughter Beach

| family thought they would spend
the day at the old resort. AS they
. mOtored along Miss Thayer at the
wheeD they were surprised that the
? farmers were so far advanced with
their crops and their lands were in
such prime condition.; showed at
once that the farmers have been up
and doing while others have been
asleep.
The scarlet clover crop along the
way which had been cut and nearly
ready for hauling. While the crop
will be abundant, if the farmer has
any surplus he will not be able to
sell it this year. The wheat crop
looked prosperous, and the farmer
will be assured of his bread if moth
ing else and in fact the farms as we
passed along looked so prosperous
that it seemed a pity that the far
mers can not realize any profit from
what they have to sell. The herd of
cows looked as if they were milk
producers, and yet the present price
of milk does not yield any profit
The corn crop was up and some
farmers were cultivating, and the
crop was growing fine, but hurrying
ON we arrived at NAPLES Mill Pond,
| that great pond for bass and pick
erel. 1t is a beautiful body of water
and with improvements could be
made one of the show places of the
county, but we must hurry on, and
so we arrived at the beach about 10
a. m. and setting some rockers out
on the front porch of our little cot
tage, we tarried there, drinking in
the lifegiving breezes which come
from the Delaware Bay, until the
time came for us to wander back
home.
AS we neared the bridge that is
over the canal we noticed many
automobiles parked there and soon
found out that this was the fish
market, where the buyers come to
secure their supply of fish. They are
sold at auction to the highest bid
der and the motor boats bring them
from Cedar Beach up to the bridge. |
The price that some of the large |
size trout brought would require |
plenty of cash to be able to buy
them.
Fish wagons were there from |
Philadelphia, Chester, Wilmington, |
Dover and many points in Sussex
county and all of the fish, even those |
of the smaller size, brought good |
prices. The fishermen said that no /
large hauls had been made this
year. AS we journeyed toward home
h,,A ~
forest trees dressed in their coat
ing of green leaves and beneath
them the pretty moss, that gives
such rich setting to the scene, and
the birds seem so glad that winter
has passed by and they, like the
human family are glad to see the
weather so balmy and spring-like.
Their songs of a morning seems to
be a call to all to come forth and
engage in their daily avocationS.
So we arrived home, sorry to have
to leave the old beach, but glad to
know that before many days rolls
around, we will be dOmiciled there
for our regular summer vacation
June, July, August and September
and the things we have planned to
do while there, well, they are i'm
mense.
VicOse Plant To Close June 3
The VicOse Company, situated at
Marcus Hook, Pa, has notified their
employees that they will close down
June and remain closed until July
5 and will then open again, if bus
mess has improved by that time.
This plant employs over 1000 wo-
men and men.
Many women and men from this
section have been employed there
for years. Many of them sold out
their belonging here before settling
at Marcus Hook. If the plant doesn't
open at the stated time, it will make
it bad for the employees, as there ,
is no other work which they can get
at that point. Many from this part I
of the country have been making ,
large wages for years, and it is TO
be hoped that they have sufficient {
money on hand to aid them in It'd ,
