A FEW FACTS CONCERNING

pavement is in good condition fo1
the winter, but do not forget the
chimneys, for they need a thor
ough overhauling.
The room formerly occupied by
the band boys has been rented by
a crowd of young men who have
formed themselves into a club
This will prevent loafng on the
corners of cold evenings. Good
idea boys.
There are quite a number of
young people of this town who GO
to all the revival services. Some OF
them are known to have walked
five or six miles We think that it
would be a very good idea if they
would walk inside the church and
help enlarge the seekers" list.
Edward Start has accepted a
position with the Malleable Iron
Works of Wilmington.
John H. Hoffecker & Son have
all of their tomatoes labelled and
cased ready for shipment.
There are some eight or ten fish
ermen from Philadelphia at Bonn

Students: Get the Christmas Spirit. .


In previous years, we all have
looked forward to our Christmas
party. This year, we should show
more enthusiasm, as Mr.. Wright
has appointed Sarah Ellen Wright
and Janet Keith to secure money
for an orchestra. Students, it is
up to you! Which would you
rather have, games and dancing to
recordings, or an orchestra? The
General Organization budget is un-
able to allow an orchestra fund for
the Christmas party, but if we stu
dents will give small contribution
to the committee, we promise you
a much better time than in the
past.

Later, she tries her hand at fishing in
the Gulf Stream, and then takes a whirl
over paim-shaded paths on a bicycle
which she rented at her hotel. When
she returns to the beach for a swim,
she makes the acquaintance of the life
guard. Movies or dancing round out
her evenings, and by nidweek she is
delighted to find that Florida vaca-
ton is well-adjusted to the budget of a
New York secretary-just as was the
train that took her there. Florida's
smart shops, too, arouse her interest
and she is able to purchase number
of gifts for her friends back home.
