EZ< chat with you about
- -. this and that, and
letter seems the best medium for
what 1 have to say. These busy
days have everyone going from
one thing to the next, without
hardly a lapse for food or any
thing else. Every active group,
whether it be club, lodge. p. T.
A., various auxiliaries or choir
or chorus groups; they all take
the fall for new beginnings and
it makes a busy time. This week
is very full. Not many parties,
but meetings of all sorts, and
financial gatherings-in. Tues
day morning was the time set
for the hospital banks down.
town to be opened. What an in
teresting job that was! l helped
Mrs. J. -Postles Hammond with
the opening. Some were almost
full. some with just a few pen
nies, some with nothing in at all.
But every penny counted and the
Hospital Auxiliary is always
grateful for the help that pennies
bring. OF course, they are al
ways hopeful for bullying banks,
if one could make metal bulge.
There was a sad side to the OPEN
ing of the banks-two had been
lifted, money and all. 1t must
take a hardened individual to
take the property of an institu-
tion as helpful and as gracious
in the helping as the Memorial
Hospital. 1t is now planned to
open the banks two year, so
those who have the banks are
asked to place them in prominent
positions so that they meet the
eyes of all, and the pennies,
dimes or such will meet the needs
of those who daily administer
relief to the suffering.
J.. Tickets arrived this week for
the, concerts that will be given
by the Dover Cooperative AssO-
citation this winter. The first
one is on November "a. The ar
tist for the evening is ErnO
Balogh, noted pianist. Con-
flicting dates make it impossible
for three local members to at
tend, and their tickets are at
the disposal of some fortunate
person who would enjoy an eve
ming of that kind. Dinner par
ties, for those who attend the
concerts, make an evening of
much pleasure. A congenial
crowd, with dinner at one of the
tearOOms there and a concert,
rounds out good time.
Next Friday evening in Dover
the play Our Town." by Thorn
ton Wilder, will be given by the
E-52 players of University of
Delaware. This is the play made
so popular by Frank Craven and
is a Pulitzer Prize winner. A
of u. of d. Alumni at
that time will make an interest
ing time for those who attend.
Friends of our college are sure
to be on hand as well.
Have you seen the new resi-
dence in Hall Place? That is
the new development on Lake
avenue. Mr.. John Barcus and
his daughter. Miss Sara Barcus,
moved to the new house on
Thursday, thus becoming the
first residents of the new see
tion that was given to the city
by Mr.. John Hall recently. The
name of the street is Seabury
lvenue. The home is the prop
srty of Miss Elizabeth Stidham

And now for bit of social
news. Halloween always brings

at the door. and after the usual sal

thought he was asking after her cold
and answered that although she US

the worst one she ever had; it kept
her awake at night and at first con-

Destroyer Leaving Ways
Before Completion

By the Associated Press.
BATH, Me-, Dec. 9.-The new de-
stroyer Gleaves was ready to yield
her ways at the Bath Iron Works
Corps shipyard today to the keel
of another fighting craft.
To make room for the backbone OF
the destroyer Ludlow, Navy and
yard officials ordered the Gleaves
overheard before she had reached
the usual launching stage, and the
1,63O-ton ship will be completed at
the shipyard's new fitting-out berth.
The launching, set for Ills am.
(E. S. T) was to be private. Spon-
sors were the Misses Eveline Gleaves
Won Metre of Annapolis, Md, and
Clotilda Florence Cohen of Wynne-
wood. Md, granddaughters of the
admiral for whom the first-line de-
stroyer was named.
The Gleaves is one of SO new
type destroyers which the Navy De-
partment recently said would be
altered slightly to improve their
stability.
Four other destroyers, the Niblack,
Livermore, Eberle and Woolsey are
