MILTON

the Milton Lions Club was held ON
Tuesday evening with large turn
out of members. Several projects
of the club were discussed, espe-
cially the forthcoming Blue Cross
Week. The majority of the towns
of Sussex county are going for this
plan in big way and there is no
reason why Milton cannot put this
disqualification plan over with eX-
cellent results. 1t would be a very
good thing for the community and
every person should get behind
this plan.
Professor A. j. Bolin was the
guest speaker of the evening and
gave a very interesting talk on the
problems confronting the Della
ware schools today. He also gave a
history of Delaware educational
system from the beginning to the
present day. He would also be glad
to receive any helpful suggestions
from the Lions Club that would be
for the bdterment of the Milton
School. The club would be glad in
any way to help, with the consent
and cooperation of those concern
ed.
We wish to express the appreci-
alton of the club for the excellent
dinners served in the Parish House
of st. Johns Episcopal Church by
the Ladies' Auxiliary.
