ILLNESS CLOSES GRADES
AT CHUCKERY- DARBY

First four grades of the Chuck
ery-Darby school have had a va
cation this week as a result of
many children being out of school
due to illness. Several cases of
scarlet fever and measles, as well
as the usual cold and flu cases
for this time of year made it
necessary to close the grades un-
til better attendance could be
obtained.
Supt. H. c. Henkle said that
school would probably be re-
sumed next Monday. The county
board of health authorities were
unable to tell how many cases of
scarlet fever and measles there
are, but stated it was not an
epidemic.

Largest propane storage plant in the world
Mzlzs17 17~<a*w<.<

Propane is type of liquid fuel made by
oil refneries. When not under pressure, it
becomes gas. 1t is used by many families
living beyond the gas mains.
At two points on our lines we have in
stalled what comprises the largest volume of
propane storage in the world to supplement
your regular gas service. There are 10 tanks
- each II feet long and feet in diameter.
The equivalent of 65' million cubic feet
of natural gas day can be drawn from this
storage. If used continuously, this supply
would last but several days. That is why we
reserve Propane as an emergency fuel, saving
it for those hours of heaviest demand on
extremely cold days.
Our construction program is moving
along rapidly. AS more material and man
power can be secured, larger quantities of
gas will be brought into this area.

 Only survivors and closest friends will be told the time and place of funeral services for the central character of father struck it rich, owner of the ill-reputed but magnificent Hope diamond and, almost to the end, hostess to the worlds most famous names.
 Her death Saturday, at the age of 60, during recurrence of pneu- monia, ended an era of Americana.
 Mrs. Mclean, on most of the oc casions she entertained, wore the famous Hope diamond, a 4412 carat stone with strange and beau tiful blue lights.
 Said to have been stolen from the forehead of a Hindu idol, leg end has it that the gem brought violent death or misfortune to at least six of its owners, among them Mime. Montespan, Louise XIV and Lord Francis Pelham Clinton.
 It was her favorite jewel, but she would never permit her chil- dren to touch it, especially after her son, Vinson, was killed in traffic accident at the age of 10.
 Exactly what is to become of the diamond will not be known until her will has been read.
 Mrs. Mclean reputedly paid S180,000 for the diamond, but is said to have refused offers up to $2,000,000 for it.
