It's long, long way to theowrk-

must share with those who are with

Regardless of reasons for destitute

DELAWARE RED CROSS
WANTS HELP NOW
[COnfinned from First Pa0el

asks that every one who possibly
can, will supply their own wool
This, however, can be supplied by
the chapter.
The letter follows:
To Red Cross Workers and Friends
of the Needy:
The Delaware Chapter of the
American Red Cross needs 400
sweaters before January Is, for
women and children.
The women of the Red Cross have
never failed to meet call of this
kind. They have laid aside other
work to meet it. We know that it
is Christmas time, and all women
are especially busy, but January Is
is still a month away. We know
that our knitters can do it, and we
ask them to do it for Delaware.
The Chapter has secured cotton
goods and -four from National Head
quarters but it cannot secure wool
en- goods as well. Each sweater takes
roughly two hanks of wool. The
Chapter cannot afford to buy all the
wool needed. 1t can, however, buy
quite little wool and supply those
volunteers who do the knitting. 1t
is hoped that many knitters will
choose to buy their own wool or
use what they may have at home
and wishes every woman who can
knit sweater for the Chapter to
set to work.
Directions may be obtained at any
store that sells wool how to knit
the sweaters. The Red Cross will
supply directions with the wool
which it gives out. All sizes from
6 years old and up are wanted and
all with sleeves. Dark colors are
preferred for adults and gay colors
for children. Apply to Delaware
Avenue Red Cross, 911 Delaware
Avenue, for wool and directions.
Four hundred pairs of needles, 400
willing hearts and we will do anoth-
er piece of good work for Delaware.
Yours for success,

GRANTLAND SEEN
RETAINING OFFICE
[Continned from Fha Paael

They point out that the State has
never needed strong leaders more
than at present, when it is faced
with the business depression and
falling revenues. Mr.. Grantland
they contend, is one of the few men
in the State qualified by experience
and natural leadership to steer the
Ship of State safely through the
storm. He has proven on hundreds
of occasions his ability as a leader.
In addition, it is pointed out, Mr..
Grantland has a knowledge of State
laws and governmental affairs Sec
ond to none in the State. He is par
ticularly well informed upon the all
important working of the corpora
tion franchise laws of Delaware,
which annually reap a rich reward
in revenue to the State. He is also
considered an expert on automobile
laws and the school code.
Others mentioned in case Mr..
Grantland should, by some chance.
refuse to accept the appointment,
are former Governor Simeon S.
Pennewill, of Dover, brother to
present Chief Justice James Penne-
will; Postmaster Alexander R.
Abrahams, of Wilmington, Albert
Stetser, Recorder of Deeds for New
Castle county, and former Governor
William D. Denney, of Dover, now
Assistant Secretary of State.
Mr.. Abrahams' term as Whining
toms postmaster expired December
10 and there is some question as to
whether the Senate will confirm his
reappointment.
Mr.. Stetser's term as Recorder of
Deeds has two more years to run.
Mr.. Denney acted as Secretary of
State during the recent long illness
of Mr. Grantland
Mr.. Pennewill served in the State
Senate from 1899 to 1907 and was
governor of Delaware from 1909 to
1913.
Mr.. Abrahams was associated with
the Wilmington Gas Company from
1906 to 1908, was with the du Pont
Company from 1908 to 1928 He
served in Wilmington City Council
from 1919 to 1927, was a member
of the Wilmington Zoning Commits
sion from 1921 to 1927.
Mr.. Denney served as Governor Of
Delaware from 1921 to 1925.
Mr.. Stetser, who has been elected
Recorder of Deeds several times, is
a leader in Republican circles in
New Castle county.

EVERGREEN CHAPTER, ORDER
OF DE MOLAY, TO CONFER BOTH
DEGREES BEFORE TALL CELLARS

On Thursday, December 20, at the
Community Building, Evergreen
Chapter, Order of De Moley, will
confer both the Initiatory and the
De Molay degrees on a class of can
didates before the members of the

cordially invited to attend this meet
ing and witness the two degrees and
see how the organization which they
sponsor is growing and progressing.
Evergreen Chapter was organized
about seven years ago and up until
this year the De Molay degree had
never been conferred by an Ever
green degree team. The chapter
flourished for several years after it
was organized but about three years
ago interest died and the chapter
became inactive. About year ago,
George S. Grier, a member of the
sponsoring body, and Chester C.
Coffin, a Past Master Councillor of
Evergreen, decided to create some
interest and activity in the chapter.
With the help of some past mem
bers they began a complete reorgan-
ization. Today, the chapter, with
about As active members from all
over the southern part of the State
is again on its feet and is making a
name for itself. At the De Molay
State Conclave held last October,
Evergreen Chapter conferred the |
Initiatory degree on a class of can
lidates and Evergreen's Master |
Councillor, Preston West, of Days
boro, was elected State Master |
