Dunn one bit. Another good feature is the fact that George does as he is told. Like Joe Louis, he leaves the talking up to his handlers while letting one of the finest lefts accompa- nied by a power packed right hand that can stun you from any angle, speak for him.
 Dunn is now ready for faster company and is expected to land a bout in Madison Square Garden in the near future.
 Further proof of wise Branch Rickey's playing situation up till the last drop of publicity is squeezed out, is evidenced by the announcement that altho going to training camp in Ha- vana with the Montreal Royals, Jackie Robinson will tour with the Dodgers as they play ex- hibition matches in Central America.
 We predict that when the 1947 season officially opens Jackie will be holding down one of the Dodger infeld po- sitions. In the event that hap pens the Giants and Yankees will lose a lot of dollars from Negro fans who will no doubt switch their loyalty and al legiance to Brooklyn.
 Larry McPhail, the new Yankee boss being far from a fool where buck is concerned, will probably be the next mag nate to add bit of "color" to his team Added gate receipts are ont of the best known equal izing factors in this sports minded nation today.

This is the record, that God hath
given to us eternal life, and this
life is in his Son. A Bible citation
from the lesson-sermon is: John
17:3. And this is life eternal,
that they might know thee the
only true God, and Jesus Christ,
whom thou hast sent. A correla-
tive passage from the Textbook
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy is: Up. rs and 26). Jesus
taught the way of Life by demon
stration, that we may understand
how this divine Principle heals the
sick, casts out error, and triumphs
over death. His proof of Chris

religious and worship, but Chris

mony of Life and Love.

ployees lost his baby after long
hospital illness, and to help their
fellow worker defray medical and
burial expenses, the son took up a
collection which amounted to a
considerable sum, and the COM
pany matched this sum dollar for
dollar. ''The men have their diff
ferences, but when one of them has
bad luck, they all get together and
help" Alfree remarked.
The Wilson veteran worker gave
special praise to the women work
ers who kept the production line
going during the war years when
the men were away. "You can
take it from me that those women
did hard work, particularly the
ones who handled heavy parts for
walk-in coolers. They deserve all
the credit we can give them"
Nelson Alfree is a quiet and in
dustrious man who would like tC
see all men and women who want
to work have decent job and fail
wages. He is the kind of loyal en-
ployee who takes pride in the COM
pany and exerts his utmost ability
in doing his work well.

free, oldest Wilson employee who
constructed the first milk cooler
sent out by the company in 1881.
Mr.. Alfree recalled the "old
days" when he and one other car
penter worked in part of the old
Fruit Growers Bank building, Con-
structing large heavy wood cabi-
nets with metal interiors. 1--WE
averaged three completed boxes a
day then," he said with pride, land
everything sixteen years ago was
done by hand, for we had none of
the modern tools and machinery,
no up-to-date production line such
as we have in the factory today.
The veteran employee claimed that
even in 1884, when ]. E. Wilson,
Jr., severed business relations with
his father and rented a portion of
a small building (now a part of the
present factory to enlarge the
milk cooler business, he had never
expected to see the project grow
to point where he was one of
nearly 200 factory employees.
Nelson Alfrees, who has worked
in every department of the factory,
came to Smyrna 35 years ago from
Wilmington. He married the for
mer Miss Minnie Rash, and they
have three sons, Edward Nelson,
Jr., age "a; Edwin Wilson, age IL;
and Robert Frasier, age 9. Prior
to his employment with Wilson,
Alfree conducted his own tinsmith
business.
Mr.. Alfree takes a fierce pride in
Wilson Cabinet Company. He be-
lieves that the business will con-
tinue to grow, particularly when
strike-bound materials are again
available and a full and increased
production schedule can be main
tanned. Personnel, both factory
and office, likewise will greatly In
crease and this in turn will be a
big thing for the town. In this
respect, Alfree feels that hous-
ing project in Smyrna would be a
wonderful thing. There are many
employees who commute daily
from the surrounding communities
who would make Smyrna theil
home if housing were available;
and new employees, drawn here by
future production demands, find il
virtually impossible to obtain liv.
ing space for their families
Asked what he considered the
biggest need for Wilson employees
need which he would like to see
fulfilled, Alfree suggested a cafe.

not all are confident of graduating,
they have ordered their caps,
gowns, and commencement invita-
tions.
Besides preparations for gradua-
tion, the seniors are quite busy in
extra-curricular activities. A great
many of the boys are taking part
in sports. There is almost unan-
imous participation in the Mixed
Chorus" and many are members
of the band. The seniors recently
aided the 7-2 section in the pre-
sentation of an assembly commem-
Grating Delaware Day."
Most important of all is the
progress they have made toward
the necessary senior funds. They
started the year with the balance
of S183.16. AS the result of ma
gazine subscription campaign, they
raised S496.33. By assisting with
school pictures they earned an ad-
ditional $500 making total of
S704.49 on hand. Other activities
will increase this amount. The
seniors wish to thank all those who
have aided them in their fund rails
ing campaign and are particularly
appreciative of the aid given by
Mr.. Julian Stats.
Special Program
During the study of Colombia in
the sixth grade, Mrs. W. G. Hards

explained the living conditions of

most interesting and greatly en-
joyed by both classes. The chill
dren were eager to ask questions
about various curios and products
brought by Mrs. Hards.

Christmas Poem
Christmas is merry time,
Makes little girls and boys faces

They hang their stockings by the
chimney side,
Then off to bed they all will glide.
Santa Claus with his eyes open

Will fill each little stocking,
That hangs by the chimney side.
