WHAT IS LOVE !?

God, Church, Home and Family,
Bird on wing, a green-leafed tree,
A little child full of grace,
The wistful smile on his lifted face,
A full-blown rose, its fragrance
sweet,
A friend. neighbor, a shaded
street,
A clear. deep pool, a garden of
flowers,
To serve the sick-what a privi-
lege is ours!
A kindly deed, an encouraging
word,
Love, the sweetest story ever heard,
Love is the truth, the light, the
way
Dear God, may we live it day by
day.

Milton, Del.
A P-47 Thunderbolt plane from
the Dover Air Field made a crash
landing on Wednesday morning of
last week on the farm of Ransford
II. Bryan. four miles east of Milton.
The pilot, whose name was not re-
leased sby Army officials, was not
injured Persons who witnessed
the crash said the plane developed
engine trouble and started to settle.
The pilot managed to avoid crash
ing into treetops. The landing
gear failed to operate and he made
a belly landing. The plane was
badly damaged but the radio re-
mained intact and the pilot used it
to communicate with his field. Hun
dreds of people soon gathered at
the scene of the wreck but were
kept safe distance by a military
guard hurriedly rushed to the
scene.
Many residents of the town and
community opposed to the granting
by the Liquor Control board Ii
cense for the establishment of an
other liquor store in Milton, met in
Grace Church on Sunday afternoon
to hear Rev. Ivanhoe Willis, of the
Anti-Saloon League, advise the
methods to be employed in oppesi-
tion to the proposed project. An
other public meeting will be held
at the Fire House this (Friday) /
afternoon at 200 o'clock. 1t is
urged that every citizen of the dis
trict concerned, opposed to the
granting of such license, be
present. Rev. Willis will be in
attendance and he wants the
wholehearted support of every citi-
zen against the establishment of
anothe rliquOr store in Milton. /
Make it a point to be there this
afternoon at 300 o'clock-at the
fire-house.
Remember the annual town cleo
tion for mayor and two councilmen
will be held the first Saturday in
March. This election is of vast i'm
portance to the citizens of Milton
in that a new charter for the town
must be presented to the coming
session of the Legislature. The old
charter has, by common consent,
become obsolete. This matter alone
is of vast import and one that re-
quires our best effort; our best
men in council. IL there is desire
to present for members of council
other than the retiring ones (whO
no doubt will stand for re-election)
such names must be filed ten days
before the election date with the
secretary of council.
