ODD FELLOWS NOTES

Odd Fellows cemetery presents
the neatest appearance ever seen in
any cemetery in Delaware. This year
the grass is exceptionally green,
well kept. with neatly trimmed
edges. The trees and shrubbery are
equally as well cared for. The walks
and roads are neatly shaped and
trimmed and add to the general
scheme.
This is one of the few cemeteries
that permits automobiles to drive
through during daylight hours.
The walks, neatly graveled and
well kept, are a pleasing sight. The
majority of cemeteries have permit
ted their walks 10 sod over with
grass, thereby eliminating part of
the beauty of a properly kept resting
place.
The cost of keeping cemetery in
the condition that the Milford Odd
Fellows keep their grounds in. is
amazing, nevertheless they consider
it money well spent.
Crystal Fount Lodge is the owner
and custodian of the property. Law
son Donovan is superintendent and
is responsible for its excellent con-
ditiOn.
Crystal Fount Lodge. No. 10. |. o.
o. F., had the smallest attendance
on Monday night, May 8. that ii has
seen in years. This was due to the
many Odd Fellow functions that
drew the membership to other parts
of the State. The usual business was
soon dispensed with, allowing the
few members present to attend the
ball game.
On this evening, District Deputy
Grand Master Paris Kirby and his
staff went to RehobOth to install the
officers Of Ocean Wave Lodge, No.
43. This completes the spring in
stallations as far as this section is
concerned.
The work Of District Deputy Grand
Master Kirby and his stan has been
highly commended. Dressed on each
occasion in the conventional eve
ming clothes. this staff presented a
neat appearance, which fit in with
the work they were doing. Crystal |
Fount Lodge is proud of them and
for the efficient manner in
which they represented Milford Odd |
/. John Tease headed another del
egation of Crystal Fount members,
who were the guests Of Christine
in Wilmington. The de-
gree staff Of Christine conferred the
degree upon a large
class. Many OF Kirkwood Encamp-
ment members saw the degree for
he first time.
Milford takes such prominent
part in all branches Of the frater-
lity. that an Odd Fellow function

INVITED TO MD. MEET
tcOntinued from FIRST Page,

chase memberships in this congress.
and each state has been assigned a
quota based upon the amount of
poultry produced by the State as
compared to the United States as a
whole.
Several committees have been ap-
pointed in Delaware in connection
with the promotion of the various
phases Of the plans for the partici-
patton of this State in the worlds
poultry exposition. This congress
will be made up OF our entire forty
eight states and approximately sew
enty foreign countries, and promis-
es to be the greatest agricultural
event ever to be staged in the United
States. The financing of this expo
sitiOn will be entirely by voluntary
contributions from poultrymen and
other persons who are interested in
or connected with the poultry indus
try.
The ticket selling campaign in
Delaware was launched recently
when Ernest Smith. president of the
Delaware Worlds Poultry Congress
Association. and Woodrow Haas.
chairman of the membership COM
mittee. presented the first ticket to
Governor Richard c. McMullen.
Some of the objections of this
poultry congress are to stimulate in
terest in world poultry affairs. to
promote friendly International rela-
tions by bringing together those in
terested In the various phases Of this
important industry. and to encOur-
age the development of scientific re-
search work and education in re-
gard to the production and market

nice surprise Mrs. Smith arran-
ged for him. Being lured down
town for lunch with a supposed
out-of-town visitor. MIR. Smith
nicely fell in with well-laid plans
and went to the Walton Tea
Room for the midday meal.
There he found thirteen friends,
tried and true, singing him a
Happy Birthday" song. Con-
gratulations are here inscribed
to a very fine person.
The Sophomore Glass had a
very enjoyable dance on Friday
evening. They took advantage of
the day. too. and made the

supposed to be avoided on the
thirteenth, such as walking
under a ladder and such. The
Lewes orchestra played for the
dancing. Guests came at the in
vitatiOn of the class.
On Friday afternoon ! kept
hearing children's voices and
singing of childhood songs like
Go In and Out the Window"

For a long time | could not
locate the direction from whence
they came. II almost seemed
like an echo of my own child
hood, for we sang those songs,
too. i'm what is now the almost
dim distances. The third grade
was again having a delightful
afternoon in the garden Of Mrs.
Saunders NJ. Truitt. at her invi-
tation. MISS Dorothy DerricksOn
is the teacher of this section.
The garden is a beautiful spot
for any kind of a party. and the
children must have felt particu-
larly favored by having it turned
over to them for a rOmp and
play. Refreshments were served
by their hostess. who further de-
lighted them with a favor as they
expressed their thanks and de-
parted.
