DROP GAMES
Boys Lose To Saluda 26
To %; Girls Quintet
By Is To Il

The Hendersonville high boys
and girls basketball teams drop
ped a twin bill to the Saluda
outfits at the city gymnasium last
night in close and interesting
games.
The Saluda girls won 25 to 81
while the boys wound up on the
long end of a 26 to % score.
A bad third quarter proved
fatal to the Bearcats. 1t was in
this period that the visitors roll
ed up a six point lead which the
Cats just failed to overcome as
the period ended.
In the fourth period the Cats
trailed by one point with a min
ute to play, but two free shots
put the game away for the visi-
tors. Saluda led 5 to at the
quarter, IL to 10 at the half, and
20 to I6 at the third-quarter
mark.
Whitesides and Sheriff. were
outstanding for the locals. White
sides played a steady game and
accounted for 6 points. His
passing accounted for other
goals. Sheriff. played good
defensive game and in addition
slipped in to score points.
The played of the visitors re-
volved around Ward. who called
the Saluda plays and did most
of the floor work. F. Johnson
led the visitors scoring with IL
points.
The Hendersonville girls piled
up an II to 6 lead in the first
half. but slipped in the third
period when the visitors tied the
score, and last minute goals gave
the visiting girls the game by a
slim margin.
Miss ELVES, for Saluda, scored
9 free shots in 13 tries and her
accuracy proved the margin of
the win.

nurse, sir" replied Mrs. Deane.
when she grew to be a big
girl and did not need me any
longer, I went into private ser
vice as houSekeeper. About two
years before her marriage, I
returned to her as a personal
maid. I begged her to bring
me to America with her. and she
promised that she would always
keep me with her."
Here she paused to wipe away
her tears.
"You knew, Of course, that
she was to become a pnother?"
"Oh, yes. There was no secret
about that"
did she like the prospect2"
"She loved it," was the warm
answer. Miss Sunny was just
crazy for a baby. She went
around the house singing like
q bird"
"Was she happy with her huS-
band, do you think?"
For the first time the maid
hesitated but she answered,
Every happy, sir"
"Was there a quarrel with
Mr.. Paige shortly before her
death?"
Now I became certain that
the woman was untruthful;
for the first time she dropped
her eyes and averted her face.
Anderson was quick to spring
at her.
IT want the TRUTH" he said
Gternly.
"No-there was no quarrel"
said the maid at last. "At
least none that I know Of. Mr..
Ranny was always awfully good
to her."
But somehow she left the
very definite impression, just as
Paige himself had done, that
there had been a disagreement.

It may mean nothing to you
but a lot to us. Begin with

CHAPTER VI

"The houSekeeper Is here, sir,
and waiting to see you," said
MacNalley, coming up to An
derson and touching his cap.
"We're ready" answered An
derson. Suppose you tell her
to come into the library. And
tell Inspectors Kurtz and Mailer

present, too"
The housekeeper, Mrs. Anna
Deane, was a tall gaunt Eng

from England with Mrs. Paige
at the time of her marriage.
Mr.. Paige had assured us that
the two were very devoted to
each other. # his word was to

at least, believed him-the

CHRONICLE MnFoRD DELAWARE FRIDAY NOVEMBER
THE CALL OF THE COUNTRY

Do we love our country? Are we
willing to do anything for it? Is
our affection for our nation anything
more than a bit of idle sentiment
that never accomplishes anything
Such questions are answered at
every election day. 1t is then that
people. show whether love of coun-
try has some real effect on their
conduct.
The call of the country asks for
more than mere support in time Of
war. 1t means taking part in the
government of the country. The
troubles of the country are caused
by the evils that exist in. times of
peace, even more than by the losses
caused by war. The good citizen
tries to abolish such wrongs.
Such evils as dishonesty. corrup-
tiOn, lawlessness, crime, poverty,
vice, are affected by the acts of
government. Efficient government
in the hands of competent and hon
est officials, goes far to suppress
these evils, but If the other kind of
people get in, these evils are tOler-
ated, and often are POSITIVELY en-
cOuraged
The country then calls on every
citizen to go to the polls at each
election, and exercise the best iudg-
ment possible in selecting candi-
dates who will worthily represent
the people. Staying away from the
polls on election day is thus a re-
fusal to respond To the call OF the
country.
Some people forget to vote. The
polls closed before they remembered
that it was election day. Voting
should be the first business on No
vember 6. Don't wait until the
party workers telephone for you or
send AN automobile after you. Get
there at the earliest possible mo-
ment, and ask your neighbOrs if
they have voted. The people seldom
make mistakes. when the full vote
&C mes out.
Milford chronicle., 1934-11-02

in the Caroiinas, in New York or in
Texas are going to vote in the light
OF their own interests, naturally and
properly. Delaware, as. naturally
and properly, should vote out of
their own experience and judgment
based in 1t. Let not empty promises
of Federal funds 10 follow, or of
great benefits to be derived through
rainbow chasing befog the issue.
Delaware's delegation to the National
Congress must not be of the rubber
stamp variety, and John G. Town
send, Jr., and J. George Stewart, Re-
publican candidates. must be sent
to Washington to represent the Dia7
mond State as United States Senator
and Representative in Congress, and
through their vote safetygnard Del
aware's interests-this, we believe,
will be the verdict of Delaware
voters when the ballots are counted
next Tuesday night.
Milford chronicle., 1934-11-02
WHY PEOPLE DON'T VOTE

Probably the one reason that
keeps more voters away from the
polls election day than anything else,
is the feeling that one vote makes no
difference. my one vote counts
nothing" say millions of our citi-
zens. THE result will be just the
same whether | vote or not. Why
should | bother?" Governed by this
wretched philosophy. many of these
people will stay away from the polls
On November 6.
Your one vote may make no par
ticular difference, but if millions of
other people say the same thing,
cur government will be ruined, our
country will go backward. and there
will never be any happiness or pros
perity again.
Another reason why many people
do not vote, is their feeling that
they know very little about politics
and cant get interested 1t would
be about as reasonable for them to
say that they know very little about
work, and couldn't get interested.
ii they take that attitude about work.
10 one will hire them. and they will
become paupers. If the people gen.
orally take that attitude about their
government, the country will go in
To the pauper class.
Still another reason for not vOt
ing, is the feeling of many people
that all parties and candidates are
about alike, that all are selfish,
looking for jobs. and not caring for
the interests of the people. That
view seems singularly lacking in in
telligence. If people read good news
papers. they can soon make up their
minds that some candidates are bet
ter qualified than others.
Let us all here in Delaware quit
indulging our Incidence on election
day. 1t takes only few moments
to vote. If we have done so, and
voted according to our best intelli-
gence. we can feel that a good days
v Ork has been done.

bitches have pulled a large amount
of this stagnant water off of the
marshes, but we must have an in
let to make this effective, for such q
large volume of water as there is in
the two bays does not get a chance
to flow out into the ocean before the
tide changes and shoves it back
; again. And | know that down in
Chincoteague Bay, where there's a
big inlet open into the ocean, an
abundance of ducks nest there over
every winter, and a great number of
wild geese make that their winter
homes, too"
w. Virden Burton, also of Lewes.
who is well acquainted with the
RehobOth-Indian River Bays area
and does considerable ducking each
year, expressed a similar opinion.
When the inlet was open, he said,
there was an abundance of salt wa
ter grass in the bay, but now the
alternate opening and closing of the
inlet has killed off both the fresh
and salt water grasses respectively.
Ducks like to feed on salt water
grass" he said, land | don't know
a place in the whole bay now where
there is patch of it. l fully believe
that the proper opening and main
tenance of an inlet would cause salt
water to ebb and flow through the
mosquito control bitches all
through the marshes and make salt
water grass grow where nothing
grows now. l don't believe there is
a likelihood in the world that we
will ever again have an abundance
of game in those bays until the in
let is permanently opened"
A petition is being circulated by
the Mosquito Control Commission in
the area surrounding the bays and
their tributaries in south eastern
Sussex county, advocating the prop
er dredging, and maintenance with
sufficient jetties, of Indian River In
let. Their interest is based primar-
ily upon the fact that the lack of
sufficient tide range in these bays
seriously decreases the efficiency of
the mosquito control bitches install
led in the thousands of acres of
marsh lands surrounding these in
land waterways.
1t is also pointed out that, in past
years while Indian River Inlet was
deep and broad, the residents of the
surrounding areas gained consider
able income from the abundance of
fish, clans, oysters. and crabs in
these bays. And until comparatively
recent years seagoing vessels used
to penetrate far back inland, via
this inlet, to secure loads of farm
produce. pilings, and lumber to
carry them to Atlantic coastal
ports.
Copies of petition have been plac-
ed in public places in the area
bound by the Delaware-Maryland
line, the DUPONT Highway and the
GeorgetOwn-RehobOth road. and the
Mosquito Control Commission and
allied interests are urging interest
ed parties to sign it promptly in or
der that an united front may be pre-
scented when the matter is brought
before the federal government.
