mand. He relates that after the men
were landed in France three bands
were kept constantly playing for
fOrty-eight hours to amuse the men
who loaded the Leviathan with coal.
Mr.. Cannon before coming home
was decorated by the United States
for service in Mexico and overseas,
and by the French Government for
bravery at the battle of Verdun.
Since then he has received medals
and certificates from the State of
Delaware for his proving a true
patriot to the State and Nation.
While head commanding officer un-
der the captain of the ship returning
home, he was placed in charge of
the District of Paris Band which to-
day makes up the greater part of
the U. S. Army Band. He landed in
America at Newport News, Virginia.
and marched to camp two miles
away while the band played "Home
Sweet Home" He, with the rest of
the commanding officers then pre-
pared for the disbanding of the
Fifty-Ninth Pioneer Regiment, then
returned to his home in Milford. He
is now connected with the State
Highway Department but keeps up
music as his favorite hobby.
He owes his musical ability to Mr..
Thomas Roos, Jos. Roger and Win
field Mayhew, musicians of the old
school. He is a charter member of
the Tall Cedars Band and served as
it's president. A few years ago Mr..
Cannon was playing with the Dem
ton Band at Baltimore when he dis
covered during the course of the
parade that the United States Ma
rine Band was directly in front of
them and the United States Army
Band in back of them. These two
bands could not compete for prizes,
yet they kept the Denton Band on
their toes. In spite of this the Dem
ton Band won the first prize.
The two directors that Mr.. Can
non enjoys most of all to play un-
der are Professor Arthur Hudson Of
Milford, and Edward Michel of one
of the Eastern Shore Bands who
was a former trumpet player of
Hells Flota Circus Band. Mr.. Can
non is now member of the Odd
Fellows Lodge and orchestra. At
present he plays with the Kent
County Band of Delaware.

Section 81 thinks "all work and
no play makes Jack a dull boy" so
last Friday from three to four books
and lessons were set aside and we
had a Valentine party which was
much enjoyed by everybody.
Refreshments were served and a
delightful program was given by
different ones of the class.
During the first part of the hour
the following program was render
ed:
What the Flag Says, Kitty Gle
ments.
Hurrah For the Flag. by four
Scouts, Finley Mason, Charles Car
ter, Edward Hill and William Lewis.
Jokes, Olivia Kirby.
Recitation, Roberta Collins.
Several games were played and
pribes were won by Ella Deputy and

box made by Olivia Kirby and Ag-
nes Jester, was then opened and the
contents distributed among the pu-
pills. Delicious refreshments of can
dy, nuts and pretzels were served.
In order to know more about our
science we are studying the metric
system in Arithmetic.
The Metric System of weights and
measures, is a decimal system de-
vised by the French Government in
an effort to establish a system of
weights and measures that would be
on a uniform decimal scale.
We are getting up play called
"The First Flag" and a poem to
contribute to the Washington pro-
gram on Monday, the 22nd.
We are sorry to say that James
Mills is out of school for time.

Seniors Learn About
The Ship Of State

For this weeks English the SEN
ior Glass has learned a part of
Longfellow's poem, "The Building of
the Ship" In the hard times we are
living in, the lines seem to have Il
wonderful significance. All the Eu-
ropean nations today look to our
country to aid them. We have our
troubles, to be sure, but these in
spring words are filled with cheer.
Read them and see if every line
doesn't have a meaning:
"Thou too sail on, o Ship of State!
Sail on, o Union, strong and great!
Humanity with all its fears,
With all its hopes for future
years,
Is hanging breathless on thy fate!
We know what Master laid thy keel
What Workman wrought thy ribs
of steel,
Who made each mast and sail and
rope,
What anviIs rang, What hammers
beat,
In what a forge and what a heat
Were shaped the anchors Of thy
Hope!
Fear not each sudden sound and
shock!
'Tis of the wave. and not the rock!
'Tis but the tapping of the sail,
And not a rent made by the galel
In spite of rock and tempest's roar,
In spite of false lights on the
shore,
Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea!
Our hearts, our hopes are all with
thee!
Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers,
our tears,
Our faith triumphant DER our
fears
Are all with Thee-are all with
Thee!

BUILDING BRICKS
MADE IN MILFORD
Kilns Attain Heat Of TwO Thousand Degrees

wheels rotate over the tread the
fine wires cut the moving line of
clay into the desired length for the
bricks. These bricks are piled on
small square platforms each holding
about four hundred fifty-twO bricks
and the platforms are piled on hand
cars and carried to the kiln where
the final process takes place, that
of baking.
This kiln is a large brick enclos-
ure with a convertible top to be
taken off except the middle tin sec
tion during the baking. Across the
floor are ten narrow CRATES or fire.
boxes three feet apart, running the
entire width except for a space
about four feet wide down the cen
ter. At each end of the CRATES are
openings into the wider Of the brick
wall where flames are fired out into
arches of bricks built up over the
CRATES. Approximately two thous-
and sand degrees Farenheit are re-
Quired to bake the ordinary brick,
but some are usually burned more
or less than that, causing the differ
ent grades to be made. The longer
they are heated the more redder
and brittle they get until some are
almost black. After baking, they
are taken from the kiln and piled in
the yard for shipping.
This mill has been operated by
Mr.. Wilkerson since 1914, when he
bought it just before the war. Since
then many improvements have been
made and a large trade has been
built up.

the loaves at the farthest end, Mr..
Pettyjohn uses a keel" somewhat
like a canoe paddle. In Sturning
aside from the piercing heat one
comes in contact with a high rack
which contains pans of every de-
scription. Looks even worse than
Mrs. Santa Claus kitchen! The
long pans are fitted for five loaves
of bread. Convenient to the oven
are some more racks on which the
"proofing" is done, the rising of
dough for those not familiar with
bakers terms.
In glancing over the tops of some
of the boxes my eye caught the ira
ditional bakers cat, slyly watching
out for the poor, unfortunate mice.
My! How the hands do fly on the
busy days. and what aromas must
steal out of these rooms! Cinnamon
buns tempt me so badly that I am
compelled to ask how they're made.
The baker replies that the syrup on
them is put into the dought in the
process of the mixing and the heat
ing in the oven draws the syrup to
the surfaces. "a hint to house
wives.) Mr.. Pettyjohn says he uses
all brands of flour but usually
Pillsbury. (Another hint.) For
twelve years he has kept at his bus
mess, and what a success he has
made of it. He didn't inherit his
cooking ability from his grandma
ther either, nor when a boy did the
kitchen lure him to a great extent.
Some years past when his baker
abandoned him, he just snapped up
a recipe book and fell to-! Certainly
better than most young brides who
first pick up a recipe book. Well,
perhaps, we'll give him credit for
more gray matter than the young, q,
innocent brides who try out their
art. We rather think, though, he'd
have a pretty tough time outdoing
his partner. The memory of those
last years lunches in the cafeteria
are with me yet.
Note-The cat wasn't in the
dough! Irene Williams '33

Mr. CannOh's musical career be-
gan in 1904 when he was made a
member of the old Milford Band,
probably more familiarly known as
Milford's Silver COrnet Band. At this
time they had lacked a slide from
bone player, so Mr.. Cannon decided
that he would try to fill that neces-
sary position. Like all beginners on
a musical instrument, Mr.. Cannon
refused to practice and not until
after a violent shaking by the direc-
tor of the band did he wake up to
the fact, that a great deal of prac-
ticing was necessary to become
musician. From this time on Mr..
Cannon realized the necessity of
practice. This Milford Band prac-
ticed most of the S65 nights in the
year. Mr.. Cannon relates his ask
ing a trombone player that came to
Milford with a minstreal band, how
long it took him to master his in
strument. The trombone can never
be mastered, was the reply. Some
thing can always be learned about
this difficult instrument. His answer
was always remembered by Mr..
Cannon. The Milford Band consist
ed of thirteen men at this time and
during a course of four years had
three directors, Professor Reybold,
Mr.. Willis Hall and Mr.. Frank
Brust.
Another memorable experience
was when a band of fourteen men
was needed at Rehoboth and as the
Milford Band had only thirteen men
they secured a well-klown man
about the town to take an alto horn
= and march with them in the Reho- 4
both parade. The man obliged them
and stuffed paper in his horn to pre-
vent any queer noises. Today that
man is a we'll known musician Of
the Eastern Shore. When this band
broke up Mr.. Cannon began playing
with the Dover, Laurel, and Lewes
Bands. the only bands nearby at
that time.
The scene shifts from Milford to
far away France, 1916-1920, where
Mr.. Cannon served as captain in
the Pioneer Regiment of the United
States Army. He was sent to the
Mexican border to help quiet the up
rising of Mexicans there, but was
soon transferred to France. He left |
New York on the Leviathan with |
two thousand men under his COM

SCENE IN LOCAL BAKERY
THROUGH EYES OF BUSIEST
MEMBER OF CLASS OF 81
Three Hundred And Fifty LOaUes Baked
Together In One OUen

There the baker was behind the
counter beaming up at me with all
the sunny forces of a May day NOR
ming. My highest childhood anDi-
ton was soon TO be realized. In a
short time 1 hoped to delve into the
secret, mysterious processes of that
delicious heaven of cookies. CHINA
inon buns, pies, and cakes. Yum!
Yum: 1'he baker, he is the inscru-
tabl" one. His dences are not known
to the busy housewives of the town.
Mamma could never make cinnamon
buns like that! No, sir.
Walking into the first working
room one might think he was at a
cement factory, so like our cement
mixer is the dough mixer. Mr.. Pet
tyjohn has two of them, too; 50 he
can feel the hungry public in a
Lurry. Along one side of this is a
lengthy cutting table where the
dough is laid out and cut up. A
pile of -four bags in another corner
gives real atmosphere to the place.
In the second room stands a hor-
rible animal of pipes, tunnels, and
everything else in. which the -four
is sifted very fine to come out later
at another end and to be soon used.
Watch out! You'll bump against an
other work bench. Ouch! The ding
of scales! Yes, sir, the baker has
to weigh every loaf that ever gets
out of that bakery. Delaware is one
of the few states that compel the
standard loaf which weighs exactly
one pound. One is beseiged ON the
other side by what seems to be a
wringer at first glance and later
turns out to be the "doug shaper"
for loaves. On another side of this
is a small machine which has the
ability to cut, out of one fat piece
of dough, I ascertained, thirty-six
"hot dog rolls" Just ahead of me a
fiery monster glares and shoots out
angry waves of heat! This one is
eleven feet wide and fifteen feet
long! And, too, he can handle in
his mouth three hundred and fifty
loaves at once. Imagine! To get
