Cecil Children's Aid
Society
Tenth Annual Meeting Held
Officers Elected For
Ensuing Year

The Tenth Annual Meeting OF the
Children's Aid Society of Cecil Coun-
ty was held at the Trinity PARISH
House on April 9th with very en-
couraglng attendance from most OF
the districts in the county beside
those from Elkton.
Miss Marian Rau, Director, gave
very interesting report not only OF
the work in Cecil County but in the
other three counties which she is also
serving for the Maryland Children S
Aid Society. In this area the socl-
etv is caring for GA children, 54 Of
whom are in foster homes. More
than half of these are Cecil County
Children.
Mr.. Wallace Williams, who has
served the Society so faithfully as
president for the past three years,
with a few very well made state
ments told CT his experience and
growing interest in the work but felt
that he should turn the task over to
another at this time, though he was
very willing to assist in any way that
his services were needed.
The following officers were elected
at this time to- serve for the year:
President, Mr.. Stanley Evans; Vice
President Mr. Edwin Dorcus; Treas
urer. Rev. J. Warren Atkinson; Sec
retarv, Miss Bertha Balderston;
Executive Committee, Mr.. Wallace
Williams, Mrs. Iva Mckinney, Mr..
Lynn B. Gillespie.
Half of Board of Managers elected
for two years, Miss Elizabeth Smith
ers. Mrs. Wallace Williams, Mrs. l.
d. Davis, Mr.. Edwin Dorcus, Mr.. and
Mrs. Stanley Evans, Mrs. Henry S.
Young, Rev. j. Warren Atkinson,
Mrs. Robert Mackey, Mrs. William
C. Rose, Mrs. Issac Heisler, Miss
Helen Shepherd, DR.. R. c. Dodson,
Mr.. Pierre LIE Brun, Mrs. Walter
Buck, Mrs. Miller Hall and Mrs.
Harold Brown.
The new president took the chair
and Introduces MSS katherine T.
Kirwan of the Maryland c. A. S. who
in turn introduced Dr.. Ida Lee Tall
President of State Teachers College
at Towson, who has also recently be-
come an active member of the G. A.
s. Board. Both of these splendid
women have taken such a keen in
terest in the underprivileged child
rem of the state that it would almost
seem that we need no longer think
of these as the underprivileged, es-
pecially when they are we'll placed
in foster homes. Quoting Walt
Whitman, DR.. Tall spoke of people be-
coming what their eyes look upon,
and that this so ably applies to child
rem. In our modern times the job
of the home is to supply the affec-
ton. and this is very necessary part
in the development of normal, heal
thy, happy children. The Child
ren's Aid Society is attempting to
furnish this element to about 800
children in the state who have been
deprived of their rightful inherit
ance, and in a great many cases has
the gratifying result of watching the
DEVELOPMENT of outstanding children.
Surely this is job where invest
ment pays big dividends and all are
invited to- have a part in it, even
though, that part must OF necessity
be small, or large.

Secretary.

every angle, the way has finally been
cleared and the Bi-State base ball
league will swing into action Satur-
day, May 1st, with Oxford, Pa;
Providence, Md; Newark, Del, and
Fort Dupont, Del, as certainties, and
bright prospects of Delaware City
and the Diamond Ice & Coal Co., of
Wilmington, making their home field

round out fine six club, we'll bal
anced league, and league that
could only be surpassed by organized
base ball.
However, the final meeting will be
held in the New Central Hotel, Elk
ION, Friday evening, April 16, at 8
o'clock, at which time Mr.. Thomas
Kay, Sr., of Elk Mills, will present
both a four and six team schedule.
President Charles H. Rutledge is
making every effort to make the BIZ
State bigger and better league than
1886 and SO, which should accord
the fans lots of high class base ball.
Oxford Returns To League
After a years absence from the
league and the withdrawal of the
Perryville club, it appears as if Ok
ford should have banner year.
Arrangements have been completed
in Oxford by Sam Cooper and other
supporters for that entry to be man
aged by Taylor R. Biles, who last
season led Perryville to a league
pennant.
With Biles will come several out
standing players from last years
Perryville champions who are famil-
lar to Oxford fans. 1t Is understood
the Oxford roster, will include catch
ers Rock Ryan and Stew Preston;
lnfielders, Bud Lloyd, Joe Cooney,
Marvin Lucas and Larry Preston;
outfielders, Ray Goldie, Stan Lloyd,
Freddie Baldwin and Paul Cronin,
while the pitching will be taken care
of by the four-some of Toy Jebb,
Sadie Aiken, Dick Goldie and Doug
Woodwork.
Newark will again be led by the
deliberate and capable Cleaver Potts,
that town possessing a wealth of
material, leaves manager with
little worries.
Reynolds Mackey, down at Provi-
dence, declares he has a delegation
ready to go places, and from reports
of his starting lineup he will have
nice ball club, and the club they
will all have to beat.
stretch" Everett to Lead Soldiers
Fans in this section will we'll re-
member the playing Of Stretch"
Everett in the old Susquehanna
league, and it is no other than the
new prominent Sergeant of the First
Engineers who will pilot the Fort
Dupont team during the 1897 season.
Sergeant Everett still knows his way
around a bass ball field and with
plenty of talent both in the officer
and enlisted personnel from which to
select, it is an assured fact that
Stretch" will put a ball team on the
field that will make plenty of hustle
for the other aggregations in the
circuit.
The playing schedule will appear
in next weeks issue.

Quentin, turning into their own,
made no comment, and Kenty said
animatedly:
''Why din Gita go to the club,

"She stays with her amah!" Su-
san supplied.
"You speak of the mans misfor-

at lunch. II was thinking of hers"
Victoria raised interrogative eye

hunted into her. ''Take your cooky

child, "and don't wake Baby-she's
out on the side porch!"
SECT over and see the Morrisons,"
Quentin completed it.
"Oh? Oh, yes!"
Somehow-somewhere, something
was wrong. Through the familiar
scene chill faint wind seemed to
blow; faint apprehension of trou-

alyze it, was only vaguely con-
scious that she felt it, but it was
there.
''I'll walk over to the Morrisons'
this afternoon for few minutes, if
you like, Quentin" she said, on an
impulse, after luncheon.
Quentin was stuffing his pipe; he
did not look up. In their more than
seven years of marriage he had
never made a call that Vicky could
remember. Now, sauntering forth
into the garden in search OF dogs,
children, his favorite chair under
the oaks ON the long terrace, he
spoke careiessly over his shoulder.
