cember 81, 1881, but was little late
arriving in our cOmmunity-last
Sunday and Monday top coats were
much in evidence.
On last Tuesday the grounding or
woodchuck saw his shadow and
made a home run for winter quar-
ters for six more weeks. So we
might as well postpone garden
planting for a while.
Three big days come to our no.
tice as we glance at the calendar:
Lincoln's Birthday. Valentine Day
and Washington's Birthday. The last
named will be a nationwide cele-
bration, as 1882 is the two hum
dredth anniversary birth Of the Fa-
ther of Our Country.
War clouds have been gathering
in the Far East, but we trust that
God will give wisdom to the leaders
of our country, that they may le-
main calm and careful, as one
wrong move, might again see the
nations in a great conflict, with
nothing to be gained and all to be
lost. Nest we forget the World
War;
Mrs. Horace Derrickson under
went an operation in the Jefferson
Hospital on January 25. She is i'm
proving and expected to return
home ON Wednesday. We wish her a
speedy recovery.
The monthly P. T. A. meeting of
Lord Baltimore School held Tuesday
evening, January 10, was very well
attended. 1t was most interesting
and beneficial meeting. Since the.
subject for the month was Health
and Nutrition, Miss Neff, teacher of
Home Economics, was IN charge, as.
sisted by the third and fifth grades
and Mrs. Clara McCabe, supervisor
of the lunch room.
Miss. Neff gave short talk on the
value of the proper selection of food
in the menu, especially for children.
This discourse was not only eX-
tremely interesting but was very
helpful.
Mrs. Clara McCabe explained Ter
work in the lunch room and with
the help of the third grade gave a
practical demonstration of how the
children select their lunches at
noon. Each child was given a tray
and was allowed to select the food
for a lunch, each article being pric-
cd at five cents. Mrs. McCabe then
examined each tray and explained
whether or not it was 4 wise selec-
ton. If not, she told how it could be
made a we'll balanced lunch. The
children were then allowed to eat
the lunches at table placed OIL the
platform for that purpose.
The fifth grade entertained with
duet by Irwin Steele and Richard
Steele and with song by the en-
tire class.
Just before the meeting adjourn
ed the entire assemblage was serv-
ed with cocoa and cup cakes pre-
pared by the Home Economics de-
partment of the school.
Everyone reported an enjoyable
evening.
One of our residents recently be-
fore retiring, made very careful
plans for the morning fire. Cleaning
the fire box of his stove, he then
placed in some paper, corn cobs and
wood and retired thinking all was
we'll. In the morning he applied the
match in the front of the stove and
went back to his bed room, but all
was in vain; some time during the
night a spark had ignited the wood
and all was consumed. Would you
consider this joke on a cold NOR
ming?
William P. Steele is still confined
to his home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Hudson
spent last Sunday at Rehoboth with
their son Russell.
I/John Harmon has recently erect
ed new broiler house.
DR.. and Mrs. Frederick Vehie were
callers on last Wednesday. Call
again.
The Literary Digest of New York |
has begun a poll on the prohibition
question, claiming they are non
partisan. We really wonder if they |
are. as they apparently are not sat
isfied with the vote Of our people in
1917 and 1918. After all what is to
be gained, except business by a
straw vote?
