GLENDALE HAPPENINGS
Employment In Aud Around
EIlaU6aIa

five and hall days per week, Whll'
the wages have been greatly reduc
ed; yet the men seem to earn sufh
cient to feed and clOthe those de
pendent upon them.
Quite number of our ladies', bOth
married and single, find work at the
Caulk's Dental Laboratory, Milford
They go by bus every morning and
return in the same way at night
They work five and half days per
week at fair wages. We are glad to
report that this laboratory did not
close down even when the depres-
sion was at its worst.
The piling and mine prop busi-
ness abs been almost at a standstill
for some time here. Yet the employ
ers have tried to find work for their
employees sufficient TO keep the wolf
from the door.
There are several persons here
who have to depend on jobs picked
up from time to time to enable them
to live. While there has been no
real suffering so far, but the cold
snap now existing makes it hard for
these people to find work and if
necessary should be helped until
times become normal again.
The farmers have very little mon
ey, but have an abundance to eat
poultry, eggs, meat, potatoes, cab
bage, turnips, and a host of other
things which is raised on the farm.
They have a large amount of grain
on hand to feed to their stock. The
farmers don't seem to be able to sell
their surplus stock, owing to the de-
preston. There is no one to buy;
yet they are making a living if moth
ing more. which is fine in these
times.
When. we take into consideration
the condition of the unemployed
throughout this country, thousands
of them walking the streets of the
cities begging for bread, then we
should be glad that we live in grand
old Sussex county where the poor
and unemployed are looked after by
those who are able and no one in
want need go begging for bread |
from door to door.
We believe that Kent and Sussex
counties are able to look out for the |
poor living in those districts with |
out seeking any state aid whatever. |
Why can't the city of Wilmington Go |
the same? Millions upon millions is
the wealth of many citizens of that
city and yet we are told that 1S,000
people are suffering for food, raj
ment and fuel. If people were as i'll
terested in looking after the poor as
playing petty politics. things would
be different.
Surprise Party
Mrs. Helen Tyndall gave to her
sister, Mrs. Ebe T. Wilson, a birth
day surprise party at Mrs. Wilson's
home on Thursday evening of last
week Those present were Mr.. and
Mrs. W. f. Lank and Mr.. and Mrs.
William SalmOns of Milford. Cake,
pie and coffee were served. Owing to
The fall down stairs of Mr.. Wilson
many of the features intended were
abandoned.
Chimney Fire
The Ellendale Firemen were cal
led to the home of ID. II. Reed On
Monday to subdue a chimney fire, F.:
which at one time seemed to threat
Ell the whole building. 1t was final
~ subdued. The chimney was so hot
at times that it caught to the fioor-
ing boards in the attic.
Christmas Seals a
Christmas Seals are now on sale $
and it behooves all people who are s
able to invest few dollars in these
seals as the proceeds are for the c
purpose of aiding tuberculosis pa q
tients everywhere. |
Don't forget to aid the Hope Farm Id
near Wilmington, haven for those
who are suffering from the white d
plague" but whose means are limit I
ed, and the buildings overcrowded. +
Things From A Political Standpoint O
Are there any Republicans left? b
George Shtoman who is the po- t.
litical writer for Every Evening is a t.
very good guesser. d
Let Robert G. Harmon, Esq, get Ii
busy and have the Legislature
which cOnvenes in January take up f;
his plan to exempt real estate from a
any taxation whatever. d
Wilbur Adams, Congressman-elect
may thank Dr.. Short, who made it 81
possible, by receiving about ten W
thousand votes, principally from the g
Republican ranks. r
Some people were playing petty
politics at Dover the past week. vi
Who was it? P
Some people who are holding lu- IL
,rative government positions are
title bit shaky at the present time. vi
President Roosevelt, that sounds re
it seems we can remember h,
me other President of the same ty
lame who had a plenty of backbone d;
md when asked the condition of his Q
lealth always answered bully"
Is not the city of Wilmington with m
Is array of rich citizens able to lie
axe care of the poor and unemplOy- al
