Sussex Diggers Seek
Site OF Old Fort

spot" the Sussex archaeologists
are proceeding on their theory that
the palisades and a house of yell
low brick, as shown in an ancient
map by DeVries, stood somewhere
in "the ancient burying ground"
across from the monument. 1t is
in this old cemetery that present
excavations are centered.
Orville H. Peets, prominent Sus-
sex County artist of Indian River
Hundreds, sets forth the associa-
tons reasons for exploring the old
burial ground in the recent issue
of The ArcheolOg, the groups peri
odical, of which he is editor.
Data Map Cited
According to the DeVries map"
he writes, "the house was not on
the bank Of the creek but in about
the center of the stOckade which
touched the creek only with its
northern tip. That would have
been the logical arrangement and
we have no reason for suppOsing
the map to be in error until arch
geological evidence gives support
of a different view g.. 1t is possible
thai the monument stands where
the north bastion of the stockade
rested on the bank of the creek;
then the house of yellow brick
must have stood somewhere in the
old cemetery to the south.
This cemetery was called "the
ancient burying ground" in a suit
brought in 1857 by the inhabitants
of Lewes against John Bailey, who
attempted to close off this area as
his private property" The writer
believes the cemetery site is "the
| logical place for a fOrtificatiOn as
it stands at the beginning of a
gradual slope toward the cOnjunc-
ton of Canary Greek, formerly
Pagan Creek and Lewes Creek
now the Lewes-RehobOth Canal"
Why it came to be used as a
cemetery is not easily determined,
he says, but he feels "the remains
of the two persons killed in the
house would most certainly have
been buried here by men Of the De-
Vries party of whale hunters" add
ing, "they may also have collected
bones of other victims, (massacred
by the Indians)."

The Presidents: Men Of Faith
by Bliss Isely. w. A. Wilde, Bos-
ton. 1915 If, as we are told, the
author spent twenty-five years in
research on this book, his treat
ment should be more exhaustive.
The chapters are sketchy, and there
is little, if anything, new. Then,
there is the mistaken impression
that because man is president
he is a religious example. Some
of our presidents have been far
from that. This reviewer is sur
prised that a conservative publish
er should approve such an easy
going, take-it-for-granted present.
alton of faith. The book is we'll
printed on good paper, and carries
the photographs of all our presi-
dents. l want to be fair, but I fail
to see the price justified in this
title.

Jack Nelson, president, called
the meeting to order at 1880 p. nj.
Everyone joined in saying the club
pledge and flag salute. Charles Mel
son read the Bible, after which we
repeated the Lords prayer. After
singing the All hymn, Jack Nelson
read a short poem.
The minutes Of the last meeting
were read by the secretary, Betty
Lee Cannon and approved. The roll
was called and the dues collected.
This was followed by the treasur-
er's report. Dorothy Hopkins was
introduced to the club as a new
member. Next the club voted to
donate $500 TO the March of Dimes
campaign.
Everyone agreed we needed to
raise money for the clubs treas
ury. Among the ways suggested to
raise money were a dance, COW
cred dish supper, = recreation night
and d box social. It was finally de-
cided to have a recreation night
with dancing and games. 1t will

mittee. We decided to invite Mr.

All Club agent and wife, to help
with the dancing.
1t was brought to our attention
that we were the only All Club in
the state with 100 per cent project
completion. When the roll was
made for 1853 there were found tC
be 43 members to start the new
year in our club.
After the meeting was adjourned
the projects books for 1853 were
