NJ. H. S. ALUMNI BEACH PARTY

The Milford High School Alumni
Association will hold beach party
and doggie roast at Slaughter Beach
on the evening of June 80. Those
who wish to attend are requested to
meet at the Community Building al
Milford at p. m. so that the party
can go to the beach in a body, thus
giving those who do not have cars
a chance to ride with those who do
Tickets for the party are being sold
at Csc each. Every member is invited
to bring a guest with them.
If there are any who cannot be at
the Community Building at p. M,
they are requested to go direct to
the beach where the party will be
found at the cedars on tbs south
end of the beach. Tickets may be
purchased from active alumni mem
bers, or at the Community Building
when meet to go to the beach; or if
you go direct to the beach you may
get your tickets there.
1t is hoped that this party will be
well attended. The tide will be high
in the early evening so that those
who wish to go swimming may do
so, and there will be plenty of en-
tertainment and eats for all, and
everyone is assuer a good time. The
party is being held for two reasons.
First, to create a social interest in
the association, which it is believed
will result in added interest and
better attendance at our business
meetings, which are advertised
through this paper so that everyone
will know of the meetings.
Second, the association is badly in
need of funds and the Csc charge is
with the idea of helping. to raise
funds which will go toward the
next year and the an
nual banquet.
The cooperation of the member
shi pin this and other activities of
the association is urged so that the
plans for the ensuing year may be,
a success.

money raised by a 54-cent tax rate
has proven to be insufficient to pay
the bills which must necessarily be
incurred.
each session OF the General As
sembly has passed laws imposing
additional financial burdens on the
county. This can only be met by
taxation.
1.-THE Levy Courts in the past, as
now, are endeavoring to fix the low
est possible tax rate which will pro-
vide the county with sufficient funds
to properly administer its affairs.
The present rate will not permit
this. In fixing the present rate the
Levy Court feels that it will be able
by practicing the strictest economy
to meet the county obligations for
the current year.
at must be remembered that the
Kent county rate has been in the
past and now is, considerably lower
than that of either New Castle or
Sussex counties"

GARDEN

A yard of special mention is that
of Mr.. and Mrs. Carlisle Collins. 1t
has all of the qualities that make
for pleasure and beauty-color, shade,
ordderliness in point of care and
paintings. With the idea in mind
for continual blooming, ANIMALS
have been planted for each season.
Evergreens are there, with boxwoods
hundred years old. Grouped n.y.
drangeas of two varieties make an
attractive setting in the center of
the rear yard. A trellis and a fence
where ramblers of a week ago made
it a mass of bloom, form a splendid
background for the flowers and the
velvety grass. A porch is in the
right place for the enjoyment of the
blooms as they come along. This
garden two years ago won the State
prize for being the best over a GER
tain route, and was awarded flag
for the same.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES
Sussex Post No. s

Next Monday, July 3rd, is meeting
night, the following day being a Ma
tional holiday you cannot start the
celebration in a more fitting manner
than by attending the meeting of
your Post.
AS you know Congress has adj
journed without doing very much to
correct the injustices of the Econo-
my Act, and shortly after you read
this many thousands of war veter-
ans, and you may be one of them,
will have had their compensation
drastically reduced or entirely elm
mated. Notwithstanding the prom
Use of the President to use sympathy
and justice in dealing with the vet
Grams if given power to do so he has
refused to modify some of the most
drastice of his regulations, even af-
ter positive proof was presented
showing the cruel result. However
when we succeed in removing the
weakened rubber stamps from
Capitol Hill and replace them by
real he-men who do not have to go
to the White House every morning
for instructions as to how to cast
their vote on legislature effecting
those to whom they are directly re-
sponsible, we will get justice and
not until then, Find out just how
your congressman voted on legisla-
ton effecting you and millions of
your buddies, then remember it at
the next election. If you cannot get
this information the writer will be
glad to furnish it and any other that
directly effects veterans and their
dependents.
Upon invitation from the Com
mander of Nanticoke Post at Sea-
ford, the writer attended their last
meeting and very much enjoyed it.
A real live bunch of good fellows
who take a whole hearted interest
in their Post and their community.
That is what puts life in the Legion.
Keep it up boys! .. !
