GLENDALE
The Great Hunt For CLANS


will be enjoyed at any time, bu
anything beyond that is not allowed
When some one suggested that the,
go to Slaughter's Beach and di,
clans there was not a dissentinl
voice, and fifteen strong, composed
of men, women and children they ap
peared on Aug. 7th at the EllegooC
cottage, Slaughter Beach, fully pre-
pared for their mission of hunting
for clans.
The apparel which they wore was
so grotesque as to make a monkey
laugh, and no doubt when the clans
saw the looks of the crowd they
sank out of sight and did not appear
again for sometime. However, this
crowd led by the boss clam digger
dressed as Captain Kid shiny boots
and all, made an onslaught on the
bivales armed with all kinds of in
struments from a broom stick to a
garden rake, and it looked bad for
the CLANS for awhile but they simp-
ly refused to spout and the outcome
was a very few CLAIMS was gathered
by the crowd. Some got one, some
two or more, and some none, but the
boss clam digger succeeded in cap
turing "a. The sportsmen were not
disheartened but said they would
come again. They also said the day
has been pleasantly spent at the
bay shore. An episode of the trip
was when two men, father and son,
concluded that claiming on, the shore

would wade out where the larger
clans were. So they went wading
along thinking about the size of the
clans they would get when an i'm
mense sea turtle appeared on the
surface and opening its mouth wide
made dive toward the legs of the
men, this was enough and such go
ing for the shore was rarely seen.
Such pluqging and feet flying never
ceased until they were safe on land
where sea turtles do not come. The
younger man arrived on shore first
but the father was close second.
Big Thursday at Slaughter Beach
The people of Glendale and va
-cinity watch with interest as the
time approaches for their annual
pilgrimage to Slaughter Beach. This |
year the third Thursday in August
comes on August 18th.
In older times they were several |
days getting ready by covering the |
wagons with sheets and preparing |
food for the occasion. This, before |
the time of the coming of automo-
biles, when the people used horses,
mules and often oxen in making the
trip to the bay shore, which took a
night and day to reach the resort.
Now this mode of travel has about
ceased to exist. The improved high
ways make it quite easy to reach
the pleasure resorts in few hours.
The automobile is great convent
ence, but some times we wonder If
the people are as happy today as
they were when they went in the
way with horse, mule
or OK teams.
Corn And Lima Beans
A great dish at present is being
enjoyed by the farmers and others,
a succotash made by boiling green
corn and lima beans together, out

This combination makes very
palatable and wholesome meal, and
Is much used by the present day gen.
