on Saturday, December 16, 1916, by

The bitter cold of last Sunday
when the mercury registered as low
as II degrees about the lake near
the Milford depot, caused ice to
form to the thickness of two inches,
and many folks took advantage of
the opportunity to enjoy skating.
The snow of Saturday drifted so
badly that the automobile rural
routes were not able to make their
trips that day, and even sleighs
found it bad going in many sections.
The snow of December is the deep
est that has been seen in this sec
tiOn of Delaware in several years.

Before another issue of this
paper st. Nicholas will have
made his annual visit, leaving
evidences of his good nature
and generous disposition.
Through all the years, child
hood, teen age and maturity,
this season has been joyous
and lovely. 1t is the wish of
this poor scribe that this same
blessing will be the lot of each
reader and his or her family
during this season, and when
it has passed there may be a
reflected memory of having
given to some one a happy day
that will be long cherished.
Merry Christmas, everyone of
you!

Bowling has certainly taken our
community By storm since the
opening Of the noW recreation
building a few weeks ago. The
patter Of pins IS music to our
ears 9s we used 10 bowl before
coming to the coast a few wears
ago. Nov that we nave our
own community alleys in opera
lion We find ourselves spending
q great number of pleasant hours
on the hardwood again. ANYWAY
you look at it, bowling IS a gfelt
teacher of coordination and q
wonderful method of Waistline
control. II is one sport that
knows no age limit and once
you are bitten by the "bowling
bug you can expect to become
q lifelong deyotee Of the ancient
game.
Tenpin bowling has been au-
thentically traced back 1000
years by the examination OF an
.eient Egyptian graves. Careful
study Of the contents OF one
grave, for instance, produced
crude bowling implements de-
cidedly similar TO our modern
tcnpins. The date Of this burial
was established as $500 b. c,
From this we should all READILY
agree that bowling is no fly-by-
game. OF course, there have
been many variations OF the game
as we know it, but the essentials
OF the game are the same as set
up thousands Of Years ago. The
history Of bowling should certain
~ be read by every embryonic
Kegler.
In our present day and time
bowling is looked upon as one Of
the most respected Of all forms
of sports. 70 keep it on such a
high plane is the aim and pur-
pose Of every bowler young and
Remember at ali times that
bowling is for ladies and gem
tlement and let's keep it that
way.
There arc SO many Important
facts for keglers to remember
that VIC hardly know Just where
to start in a weekly column. The
best thing to do is to come out to
the alleys yourself, preferably
with an experienced bowler, and
introduce yourself to the game.
The first and most important
point for the new bowler TO
rcmember IS courtesy. Fix it in
your mind and we will all have
let's more fun on our now alleys.
We have two leagues running
ut the present time and we ex-
peet to have more later as the
fever Of bowling rises. The
commercial league is made up
mainly Of teams representing va
fious business houses and clubs
in the city, while the industrial
primarily embraces those
teams representing departments
fuom industrial organizations.
League matches are played each
week night, Monday Through Fri
day, and get under way prompt

Is at 7:30 p. m. Each team uses
five men and plays three lines
zach, The league standing is
determined several ways but for
lack Of space we will only show
the standing by games won and
lost. The standings of both
leagues will appear in this col
umn each week. The standings

week and the highest scoring
teams in each league.
We noticed as we went TO press
that the nice leather bowling bag
offered By the recreational d.
rector, Sid Timer, to the first
covled scoring $50 is still watt
ing for a taker. The winning
score has been approached but,
so far, no n has COPIED ii yet.
The bag is a nice trophy for
some bowler 70 air for, so set
your sights high and let's see who
is going to win it. w. d. Rice, of
the Peele-W Williams team, almost
bagged il with his weekly high
of 232 but eighteen pins kept it
in the alleys.
