full program of social interming-
ling was among the highlights of
the occasion. There were residents
from New Castle County present,
but quite a number could not at
tend on account of the heavy
rainstorm that prevailed all of
Saturday morning. The event is
held once each year.
With the campaign about to
get underway the various candi-
dates are beginning to figure on
their chances of success. Some
think they will have a waIkover
while others are calling it a
rough drive for votes and yet it
often happens that promise
does not keep and yet the maker
thereof is held responsible. The
funny thing about a political
campaign is that often no regard
is paid to dependability, the can
didate seems willing to promise
anything to corral a vote. On
the other hand, some candidates
are known to make a solemn
pledge and their promise is gen
orally accepted and held in abso-
lutte faith by the voter. Meeting
the voters throughout the dis
trict is a job which some people
like, and yet some places no
candidate wishes to go to. 1t is
generally the backwoods section
where the residents do not have a
chance to become fully informed.
In way it is felt that they
should be excused, owing to their
environments and other pull
backs.
In the by-gone days the fun of
seeing a merry-go-round was
ample enough to draw many
children from the country to town
and as we'll as the town children.
Back in 1898, a fellow by the
name of Fred Christianson would
arrive here about April 1, and
put his carousel first on a lot
near the railroad station, and af-
terwards on a lot on Railroad
avenue. This lot is now the site
for the home of Mr.. William ~
Carton and family. Christiansor

ness in carousels rides the next
time. For years every summer he
would come here to entertain the
children and depended upon The
carousel to do the stunt. fxs
idea proved a big success. If he
found little girl or boy crying
about something he would put
them on the carousel to end their
grief. Christianson would come
here from Wilmington every
spring for several years.

the apple, it will separate into two

out the seeds and fill with cream

is completely stuffed. Chill before
serving and cut into thin slices.
Arrange in a relish tray with other
colorful vegetables.

and to Fred Grimm and Rosemary
Bruins for their good help, advice,

They bring everything imaginable

apples, and the womenfolk cook
these apples in huge kettles out
