BROWNIE AND THE COOK

There was once a little Brownie
who hved-where do you think he
lived? In a coal cellar.
Now coal cellar may seem a
most curious place TO live in, but
then a Brownie is a curious crea-
ture-a fairy, yet not one of that
sort Of fairies who fly about on
wings, and dance in the moonlight,
and SO on.
He never dances, and as TO
wings, what use would they be to
him in a coal cellar? He is a So
Der, stay-at-home household elf
Nothing much to look at even if
you did see him, which you are
not likely TO do-only a little
man, about a foot high, all dressed
in brown, with peaked cap just
the color Of a brown mouse. And
like the mouse he hides in cor
ners, especially kitchen corners,
and only comes on. after dark
when nobody Is about.
This particular Brownie belong
ed to a family which he had fol-
lowed from mouse to house most
faithfully for years and years. A
good many people nal heard of
him, but nobody had ever seen
him except the children, who de-
clared he often came to play with
them and was the incest companion

darkest corner of the cellar. which

lived upon Except that ever since
the family could remember, a howl

THE CHICKENS
Said the first little chicken
With a queer little squirm,
Il wish ! could find
A fat little Worm
Said the next little chicken
With an odd little shrug,
u wish ! could find
A fat little bug"
Said the third little chicken
With a small sigh Of grief,
Il wish | could find
A green little leaf
Said the fourth little chicken
With a faint little moan,
Il wish ! could find
A wee gravel stone"
Now see here" said the mother
From the green garden patch,
If you want any breakfast
Just come here and scratch"

for this school year l95o-5l. The

plan to do this by encouraging use

pairing a Library Corner in our

Children are encouraged to read
many books and TO bring books
they enjoyed reading TO share WIN
others. These books are not TO be
used unless the child has completed
his Lesson. The children UNDER
stand the rule and any child a.
busing this privilege by having IN
prepared lessons cannot use the
library until his work habits M
prove. We hope to see good re-
suits by the end Of the school

Monday Night

eral Of Delaware, Was
The Guest Speaker.

Monday night Of this week the
Active Young Republicans Of Sus-
sex County held their regular
monthly meeting in Georgetown.
President Bob Short opened the
meeting by introducing Raymond
Ringler OF Selbyville. newly-elect-
ed chairman Of the Sussex County
Committee. and David Cox, chair
man of the speakers bureau of the
Young Republicans of New Castle
County.
The guest speaker Of the evening
was c. Edward Duffy. Chief Deputy
Attorney General of the state. Mr..
Duty was very emphatic in his
criticism of Governor and his Dem
Ocratic staff He referred to the
present form of state government as
a short pants, uninitiated form Of
government" He pointed out many
instances of the Governors short
pants" government such as disap-
pointing the members Of the state
school bands by not showing up at
the State School Band Festival. but
attending a political rally that same
night in New Castle County. The
Deputy Attorney General also said
that the Governor had no business
interfering iwth the Traction Com
pany strike in Wilmington and his
only reason for such action was to
try to get political support from the
labor unions. However, the gen
eral cOncensus of opinion is that
many OF the Governors followers
were lost by such unsOund govern
ment.
