BORDER BRIEFS"
c. Cannady Hawkins

The last weekly cottage prayer
meeting was held at the home of Mrs.
Clifford Hawkins, 419 Co1fax Ave. N,
"Wednesday, March Is. Our strength
as a group lies in prayer. Let us turn
out and make these weekly meetings
successful, thus inspiring all to great
er service and loyalty. This week the
Wednesday night cottage prayer meet
/ ing was merged with our Lenten.
preaching mission This meeting was
held on Friday, March "a, instead of
Wednesday at 7:30 p. m. at the church
was we'll attended DR.. B. F. Smith
of Chicago presented the sermon. Dr..
Smith, our former district superintend-
ent, and outstanding speaker, found a
warm welcome among the members of
Border. His coming was greatly APP
1reciated, since his visits have been far
90 seldom. With this prominent
speaker as guest we were assured a
large attendance. In serving a double |
purpose we enjoyed a rare treat, and |
demonstrated that the current loyalty
campaign is serving to increase attend
ance and is building interest in the
church and its worthwhile activities |
We regret deeply the fact, that this
was DR.. Smiths last visit to the Twin |
Cities in his official capacity as dis
trict superintendent of the Lexington
Conference. His splendid unselfish |
leadership has been an inspiration to
Border in its struggle to reach the |
top. Being given an extension of two
years on the district is tribute to Dr.
Smiths ability and insight May he
attain higher goals.
The splendid record of attendance
for Sunday, March II, indicates that
the Loyalty campaign at Border is
still holding its own among the mem
bers. Borders Sunday was made more
bright by the presence of our very
good friend and brother, Rev. Jace
Clayburn, who greatly inspired all
with his soul-stirring sermon. We are
always happy to have him with us
whenever he finds time to come, and
are grateful for his we'll presented mes
sage. "......
The call for men to represent Bor-
der at the Demonstration of Christian

interest and strength by attending in

zu Thursday evening, March 9, at
Unity Settlement House Parents of
Border should encourage their boys,

attend Sunday School and assist with
the children is yet, imperative in order
to efficiently train this fine group of
youngsters under the faithful and con-
secrated leadership of Mrs. Edith Lee.

CHURCH SUPPERS
POPULAR IN SUSSEX
Many Church Groups Planning For
Annual Affairs

Church suppers. which have been
popular in the rural sections of low
er Delaware for the past forty years,
are being planned by many commun-
tiles for the winter. Generally they
are held to make up deficits in the
church budgets, especially in the
rural sections, when money is not
plentiful with the farmers because
of the low prices received for their
crops last summer and fall.
In rural communities there is but
little cost attached to them for the
farmers donate nearly everything
that goes to make up the dishes,
while their wives and daughters do
the cooking and serving. The menu
offered by some of the churches is
so attractive and inviting that "one's
mouth almost waters" at the men
tioning. The dishes are tasty. and
the cooking generally is the last
word in the culinary art. These sup
pers are much like the big meals
served on the lower Delaware farms
when "city cousins" come down on
their vacation.
Many of the hotels are outclassed
when 1t comes to the menu.

Lifting OF Ban On BrOadkiln Beds
Ends IdIeness For TOWnsfOlk

After several years of enforced

again resumed the longing of Oys-
ters from the Broadkiln River Inlet.
Because of alleged polluted waters
caused by the Lewes town sewage,
ban on the BroadkiIn beds had been
placed by State and federal authori-
ties. However, since the opening of
the new inlet. Lewes now empties
its sewage into the bay. an the wa
ters of the Broadkiln have gradual
ly cleared. Following recent tests by
the authorities, the ban was lifted.
Milton oystermen estimate they
lost thousands of dollars during the
years the ban was In effect. The
DuttOn Oyster Shucking plant was
closed, throwing many out of EN-
ployment. The Broadkiln oysters.
while smaller than Chesapeake ones,
have been judged by many to be SUI

On Highways.
IS PCT. REDUCTION

Delaware was tie with Pennsylva-
mia for second place among all
states in the nation on Tuesday in
saving lives on highways during
1888.
Both states reported a reduction
of 35 per cent in automobile fatali-
ties during the year, only one per
reenf behind the nations leader,
Rhode Island.
The figures came from the Nation
al Safety Council in Chicago, which
hailed a cut of 10000 in all kinds of
accidental deaths last year as the
greatest improvement ever recorded
in a single year.
The area, in and around Delaware.
was the safest place in which to
drive in 1888. according to the safety
statistics.
New Jersey ranked third in re-
duction of highway deaths with 81
per cent, and Maryland fourth with
20 per cent.
Last years fatalities of all kinds
totaled $4,000. the council made
known. the lowest aggregate since
1888 and a 10 per cent decline from
the 1887 figure of 1O5.205. The great
est previous decrease was in 1919
when the total was $500 below the
figure for 1918.
The safety experts disclosed fur
