Flremen Capture 4 Prize
Our fire laddies were highly elat-
ed when they returned from Lewes,
May ., where they secured prize
of $40 for the Delaware Company
having 10 or more in line, making
the best appearance as they passed
the reviewing stand.
The boys feel proud of being able
to secure this prize as there were /
larger and older companies present.
The dark coats, white pants and
blue caps seemed to give them a
distinguished appearance; coupled I,
with their good looks. seemed to i'm
press those who were occupying the
reviewing stand.
Glendale has as fine a set of fire.
men as can be found anywhere.
Did you notice the banner which
the Glendale fiTemen carried in the
parade at Lewes? It was hand made
and was truly work of art All the
representations of the fire truck.
lanterns, axes and several other
tools used by the men in fighting
fires were cut from other materials
and by fine needle work made to
truly represent the things intended.
Sewed on the silk banner with it's
gold cord and tassels neatly arrang-
ed it made banner of which any
one could be proud, and we doubt
If there was in the parade at Lewes
a more magnificent banner then the
one carried by the Glendale fire
men, no difference what the cost
may have been. Who did all this ,
wonderful work? No one but Mrs.
Robert Grell, who is adapt at fash
ioning and putting together such
work. Mrs. Grell did this work free ;
Of charge and she is willing at all
times to help the firemen and others
who are engaged in church work. {
The firemen take this means of
thanking Mrs. Grell for her wonder {
