TWO MILFORD BOYS NARROWED
ON MARSH FOR FIVE HOURS

A ducking trip that ended in be-
ing lost for five hours on the marsh
back of Fowler'S Beach was the eX-
perience that Frank Sapp and Otis
Jester had last Wednesday night.
They left Milford in the afternoon
and drove to the canal and there
left their car. They walked across
the marsh to the beach and stayed
there for about two hours. During
this time g bad storm had come up
and the tide had risen on the marsh
until all the land around them was
under water. Darkness came and
they lost their bearings completely.
They roamed about for hours but
were in constant fear Of falling into
the canal or into one of the deep
bitches on the marsh.
In town, all this time, the parents
of the two boys were becoming more
spread around town and about ten
o'clock about ten members of the
Carlisle Fire Company started out in
search of the boys. They drove
down as far as the canal and as
soon as they arrived the boys saw
theid headlights and found their
bearings. Some of the men in the
cars walked out onto the marsh and
helped the boys back to safety,
across the canal.
Neither Sappy or Otis have given
up ducking but they have both
sworn off going during any kind of a

ChiLdren'S Book Week

Setting aside the week of Novem-
Der 13 as "Children's Book Week
may be nothing more or less than a
commercial conspiracy on the part
of publishers to sell more books.
There are certainly many who sus-
pect this to be the case, and they
are probably not far wrong.
But even if they happen to be
right, such anactivity must be cata-
logued under the lesser crimes of
industry, for even in their guilt the
publishers are doing a great, gener-
al good by stimulating the fine art
of reading in Americas youth.
No less an authority than Mar
jorie Barrows, internationally fam
Gus editor of Child Life Magazine,
says that children prefer the best
literature, and when given the op-
portunity invariably select the best.
She advises adults to remember that
stories shape the child's character,
and to see that books they buy fit
the particular child's present inter-
est.
A trip through any book store
today shows a newer and wiser
school of thought. Ranged on the
shelves are row upon row of diver
sified Juveniles writtens by writer's
who have made a life long study of
the child mind and it's interests, il
Illustrated by artists who draw only
for children, and published by great
publishing houses who are continu-
ally searching the world for the best
in child stories.
Books on history, travel, animal
stories, scout tales, biography, stor-
les OF school, sport or adventure are
best for the juvenile mind, child
say. If the child is quite
young they recommend a book of
fairy tales, simple nature studies,
nursery jingles such as
the junior edition of the Real Mo-
ther Goose, T a good picture book;
and for those a little older such
books as the Child Life Story Book
and The Big Show. From nine to
twelve they advise books like The
Mason Children, and Letters to
Channy; and for children of all ages
The Picture Book OF Poetry.
1t would be a splendid service to
the community if every adult
would see that at least one child Of
his acquaintance is given the OPP
portunity of reading at least one in
eresting book that would be worth |
Iis while. Miss Barrows has point !
ed the way. Chfldren's Book Week is |
1 good time to begin.
