GOod OId summer Tlme

port that the Gulf Stream is dali,
cOming nearer to Maryland-V -Virsini;
Coast. running between Cape Hat
teras and the Virginia Capes.
1t is predicted that a temperature
similar to that of Florida with fish
ing all the yeaD round, will exist OI
the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
As Delaware borders ON the Or
Line State the people of SUISSE,
can expect at least to receive som,
of the summer breeZes to take tho
place Of the cold winter blasts
which they have experienced in the
past.
II will be fine, when, instead OF
growing corn at rs cents per bushel
ana wheat at 50 cents per bushel
the lands of Sussex will be set with
trees which will produce in abund-
ance crops of oranges, grape fruit
and other fruits which grow only
where the weather is summer-like
all the year round
IL will he finer still when the far
mers Of Sussex can gather grape
fruit or oranges for breakfast from
trees growing near the home.
The waters will bo full of that
class of ish which only abound now
in the waters of the southland.
Think of Il: people will be able to
hook and land the great sail fish,
one of the most difficult species to
catch and whose body is so large it
will furnish food for days for good
size family. President Hoover on his
last fishing trip south captured sew
cral fthese large fish.
Il would also be fin after these
days come to pass to have Glendale
a shipping station as it used to be
twenty years ago, when peaches, an
pies. pears and tomatoes were so
plentiful and as many as ten TO tif-
teen carloads of the different fruits
would be shipped daily; but in the
new order of things we would be
shipping oranges, lemons, grape
fruits. pineapples and other fruits TO
places both north and west.
Lands would advance in value and
the farmers who are now struggling
to live would be in a position where
depression could not touch them.
Birds of many hues would locate
here and those which migrate in the |
fall would remain here, and 1t
would be a common sight TO see the /
osprey (fishing hawk and other |
birds who now winter In the south
land flying here in November and
December as we now see them only |
during the spring and summer time
f,fIt
which would come to us when the
climate changes, but while we enjoy |
the sweet things, there arc sOiae |
bitter things we will have to en-
duIe
Ponds and other streams whicn
are situated inland would he full OF
alligatOrs. and suakcs of a poison
Gus nature, and tie uplands would
have its share of the cOpperhead
and rattle snakes which would be a
menace at all times. The bay and
sea shores would lie over run with
man eating sharks and OctOpuses
whose tendens, many feet in length. |
would bring fear to the heart OF the
swimmer when met. Mosquitoes,
flies and bugs of various kinds "a
lore would be present on every
hand. l.
For old people a climate like that
of Florida. VIC should think. would
be desirable. The pains from rheu-
matism and other diseases which at
tack the human body when old
would have less force in a climate
where snow and frost are seldom
seen.
Do YOU think the time will ever
come when the old timers after GU
loving this climate for time. would
long TO go back and face the winters
as they did before the changes al
ready noted had taken place? Would
they still enjoy hearing the north
wind as IL comes with full force,
cold and disagrecablc and the snow
which often covers the earth in the
winter season?
Old Limcrs. how would you like to
he hack TO the old homestead and
dig the wood aud back logs from the
snow, then pile them high in the old
kitchen fireplace, sit back and wins
tie while the blaze goes up the CHM
ney and enjoy the warmth sent out,
while the old fashioned pOne bread
is baking and the pot of hOminy Is
boiling, hung upon hooks in the
back of the fireplace, and then as
the shades of evening draw nigh
have bed of Goals ready and pro-
ceed to rcast sweet potatoes. white
potatoes. chestnuts. peanuts and pop
corn, and white the potatoes, nuts
and corn are roasting. beat a pot OF
homiuy for pastime? Old timers, ,
which of the two scenes presented, ,
do you like the best?
Chimney Fire
Sunday morning the Glendale ,
firemen were called to the home OF
William Warrington, who resides
near jefferson Cross Roads, to ex-
tinguish q chimney fire. The fire
laddies soon subdued the blaze with
but small damage and then as they
generally do. cleaned the chimney,
People should be more careful in
building fires in windy weather and
should look after the cleaning OF
their chimneys more Oftener. In the I,
good old days of long ago people
used to clean their chimneys often.
They waited for an easterlY rain, !
with everything soaking wet, then :
they took lunches of blade fodder, n
tied to pole, lighted it and ran II !
up and down the chimney until the
mass accumulated was cleaned out. n
Very few chimney fires occurred in
those early days.
