Another Canvass

Thompson had 216 trucks cam
vassing the city for the flattened
cans, which hoHseholders had
earlier been instructed to leave
at the curb.
Some of these vehicles returned
only 20 per cent full. others with
lbulging loads. Where the collec-
ton seemed unusually light, driv-
lers were ordered TO re-canvass the
district in the belief that cans
we're being belatedly accumulated
by residents.
Thompson reported the near

The
What Not Shelf

We heard a funny story the other
day. Funny and pathetic. 1t
seems that a certain young man
who lives in Clayton received notice
to appear at FIT. Dix one day last
week, for service in the us. Army.
So he started cleaning UP his af-
fairs, and friends started saying
goodbye.
Being footsore was not included
in the plans of this soldier-to-be.
So he purchased pair of army
shoes, and wore them around, to
get them good and "broke in"
AS the time grew shorter, Clay
ton friends Clipped in their spare
cash and bought the young man a
handsome going-away gift.
At last the day arrived, farewells
were said, and the young man and
his broke in" army shoes departed
for FIT. Dix. But not for long. He
failed to pass his second physical
examination up there, and was sent
home.
1t was probably bitter disap-
pointment-but he will do his part
on the home front. At any rate,
he has some dandy army shoes
and handsome gift!
We have q new nick-name-but
only our Girl Scouts have the ex-
elusive right to use it.
We are generally in hurry,
hustling thither and yon, and when
we approach the Girl Scout meet

All AGENT RESIGNS
Miss Helen ComstocIx With Exten-
sion Service Twenty-four Years

Announcement was made Mon
day by G. L. Schuster, director of
the Delaware Agricultural Exten-
sion Service, of the resignation of
Miss Helen l.. Comstock as Kent
county All club agent, effective
December 81, 1912. 1T is with re-
gret that I announce the reignation
of Miss Helen l.. Comstock, Kent
county All club agent" stated Di-
rector Schuster. miss Comstock
has served as Kent county All club
agent for the past twenty-four
years. At the time of her appoint
ment All club work was in it's in
fancy and this country was at war.
During these twenty-four years she
has travelled through the county
organizing and meeting with All
clubs to bring to rural boys and
girls agricultural and homemaking
information and training. During
her almost quarter-century of SER
vice she has helped to guide and
shape the interests of hundreds of
Kent county rural youth and to
counsel them in those attributes
that make for better citizens and
leaders.
Aided Rural Youth
"At the close of her period of SER
vice she has again worked with
rural youth while our nation is at
war. Through project work, club
meetings and community activities
she has worked tirelessly to inter-
pref and to encourage through Ag-
ricultural Extension work the dut-
les of rural youth during these
critical days. Because of these in
creased and diversified responsible
tiles and long hours of work, she
does not feel physically able to con-
tinue." A successor to Miss Com
stock has not been selected, con-
cluded Director Schuster.

One fairly warm day recently,
having arrived before most of our
little cherubs, we sat on the steps
to await the others. Skipper Colds
borough was the last to arrive, and
not seeing us as she approached,
she called to the others, Hi, kids,
has old-oh5" She looked embar-
raised. Il almost said something.
Thank goodness 1 saw you first"
We puzzled all through the meet
ing, and after it was all over, fin
ally wormed it out of Skipper what
it was she almost said. She was
going to say:
HAS old Busting Burslem got
ten here YETI"
Oh well. 1t could have been
Buxom, instead of Busting.
The Jerman Chapel needs more
pies. More and more pies are need
ed for the free Thanksgiving din
ner to be given to the women war
workers next Thursday. Other do
nations have come in fine, reports
Rev. Uhlendorff, and a lot of Smyr-
ma people have cooperated. But
more pies, please.

Anybody enterprising enough to
open a bowling alley and a roller
skating rink here in Smyrna would
have more business than they could
handle-and probably rake in the
chips. Just consider the numbers
of men and women, despite gas
shortage, who manage to get to
Dover for an evening of bowling.
And look at the droves of young
fry who somehow get to a Will
mington skating rink almost every
week.
1t all boils down to the fact, plain
and simple that there really isn't
much to do in this town for all
those people who seek a little plea
sure after hard days work,
1t it weren't for Snaps, the kids
would be lost. There is nothing in
this town for them to do-no bowl
ing, no skating, no recreation CEN
ter.
Perhaps this is the example of
the fall and decline of Family Life.
Each passing year changes the pat
tern of living. The so-called civil
ization shifts and changes so that
one generation is strange to the
next. What is currently being done
is called Progress, and anything
else is outmoded and decayed. AL
though it certainly is out of style
must have been fine in the
good old days when families were
forced by circumstances to find
their own pleasures and make their
own fun-together-all of them do
ing things together. The Family,
then, was more than a word. They
were a group of people who weren't
afraid to sit home "of an evening"
who weren't afraid of being bor-
ed because there was nothing to do.
They were resourceful, planning
their own fun.
Well-tempis fugits. The years
have changed all that. People of
this generation want fun and re-
taxation and amusement = away
from home.
