Milford chronicle., 1933-12-22
HARRINGTON

the class initiation held here on Fri
day evening took place as per orig
inal plans. The heavy fog thai
blanketed this state made auto
driving too hazardous for the degree
team from Wilmington to attempt
the trip. This caused much disap-
pointment to nearly 100 in, attend
anee. The degree team of Eureka
Council have won themselves an en-
Viable reputation by their excellent
work. Many candidates expecting
to be present failed to arrive. The
degree team of Harrington Council
No. 4 put the candidates through the
third degree. The auditorium at the
High School was used which gave
the degree team plenty of floor
space. Previous to the opening of
the initiation, those arriving early
were entertained by numerous band
selections rendered by the local
High School Band under the direcs
tion of their leader, Professor Paul
We'll. National Representative Caleb
Maris of Canterbury, Past State
Councillors George w. Swain and
Warren T. Moore of Harrington were
among those present. State Vice
Councillor Edward Harrington was
chairman of the meeting. He called
upon Joseph Laws for a radio story
to open the meeting, Miles Draper
followed with solo. Speeches were
made by National Representative
Caleb Maris, State Councillor Mat
thews of Milford, past State Council
or Swain of Harrington, Harry C.
Tee, Harrington, and Daniel L. Loose,
Cheswold. Chairman Harriet ad-
vised the members to keep in mind
the next class initiation to be held
in Dover in February. 1t is planned
to hold this initiation the night pre-
vious to the State Council.

Red Cross discloses that during the
recent roll call the solicitors secured
Ill members. The work of the local
chapter under the able direction of
Mrs. A. B. Parsons has been of great
benefit in aiding the unfortunates
in this section. During the past
year it was stated that over $50 fam
lilies were helped. Similar work by
the local chapter is expected to be
continued this year. Clothing on
hand will be distributed to the needy.

authority that turkey day will be |
held here as usual on Monday, De- |
