also installed a double-glass

SO that they can also see as we'll

in the main room of the cha

morning worship service, [ no.

or five, caring for little ones,
who took advantage of this
fine service.
I will mention here, that on
a Lords Day last month, we
had the privilege of consecrat-

we're Susan Paulette Perry,
two-month-old daughter of
Ralph and Barbara (Wade)

Sharolyn Jean Hall, little
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. An

Neither of the little girls re-
acted very quietly to the

time, but we are sure they will
get better acquainted with him
as time goes on. May God rich

the parents in their great re-

This evening, Monday, will
be the regular meeting time for
the boys club (not yet Off
cially named) here at the cha
pei. Mr.. Joe Baker, together
with the help of Sammy In

Clay, and Mr.. Stump have TAX

A week from Tuesday, in the
evening at 7:45 P. M. we will
have our summer marshmallow
roast. The children, young peo-

around the bonfire for the
roast; then will follow a time
of singing and testimonies. We
enjoyed the time last year
when such a treat was plan
ned. We expect to have about
100 present.
Of real value has been the
fine public address system
which was furnished by Joe
Baker. We have found that it
is a great help during special
programs, when the children
and young people have had
occasion to speak before the
people. Then too, we have in
stalled one of the speakers in

the best record on his punch

he certainly deserved the hon.

Also at that time seventeen

Del. Park Stake
Dates Released
Wilmington Handicap VIII Open
Season On May 2Sth

Delaware Parks stake dates,
which were announced today by
Racing Secretary j. Gilbert Haus,
show that the track again viii open
with the $4,000 added Wilmington
Handicap for sprinters on Satur-
day, May 2S. There will be Is
stakes on the program, which also
will run through June and early
July. Total stake money is $2O5,000.
OF course, this stake money outlay
is only a fraction of Delaware
Parks total distribution, but the
purses have not yet been calcula-
ted.
The 1949 stake figures are $4,000
higher than a year ago due to the
custom of annually increasing the
two rich futurity events b. $500
each. 1t is estimated by Haus that
the Leonard Richards Stakes.
which is exclusively for three-year-
olds, will gross approximately $685.
| 600, and viii be the richest event
of the meeting. The other futurity
race, the Delaware Oaks, fer three-
year-old fillies, will gross approx
/ mately 1880. thus closely rival
ling the Leonard Richards in value.
