and other corn producing states
throughout the nation, according to
W. c. Stolk. vices president OF

LETTER TO EDITOR

Editor Milford Chronicle
Ever since the Delaware NOlun-
tcer Firemen were invited to the
City OF Milford for their 1916 con
VcntiOn they have been looking
forward with much anticipated
pleasure.
Recently that special privilege
came to every volunteer fireman
who had the delightful pleasure OF
being al the Beautiful City Of Mil
ford.
Made more memorable because
il was at the City OF Milford TWEEN
ty-iive years ago that the Delaware
Volunteer Firemen's Association
blOOmed into Il functioninG organ
iZatiOn. and the firemcn were so
amiably entertained at their TWEEN
ty-tifth anniversary.
Through the medium. Of your
popular paper We would like to
express our sincere thanks to all
who in anyway helped to make our
two days stay in the City OF Mil
ford SO pleasant
We would like TO make special
mention Of the nice. useful pack
ages that were donated by the l..
d. Caulk Company and the j. II.
Mulholland Company.
These packages were placed at
the dinner plate of every one who
had the delightful pleasure of par
taking Of that delicious meal ser
we'd by the members of the Car
lslc Fire Company. We express
our thanks to Chief Baker and Colt
and the members of the Robbins
Hose Company who gave such 4
fine demonstration of fire cvOlu-
tiOn showing the people how wei
their men were timed and trained
in hosting ladders up to Il build
ing. We hope that more trcmcI
will avail themselves Of the edu-
CatiOnal program that is being
given by special instructors.
Thanks to all of the tiremen il
the state and all visiting iircmeI
who took part in one of the larGes
: paradeS that ever marched in Della
ware.
Displaying their fine and wei
equipped fire engines, not all o
them. but only part of them
Leaving in their fire houses a
home equipment and men tina
could amply take care of any cmcr
gency that might arise.
