Townsend

Mothers Day was beautifully
honored at Emmanuel Church in
Townsend on Sunday. The morning
service included an able, appro-
pirate sermon by the pastor, Rev.
Henry M. Parks. Other highlights
were the presentation of a double
orchid to Mrs. Henry M. Parks,
wife of the pastor. Carey Hutchin-
son, president of the M.Y.F. as
sisted by Miss Peggy Lawrence,
made the presentation with an ap-
propriate speech in appreciation of
the accomplished work and warm
relationship between pastor and
wife with the young people of the
church. Miss Agnes Brown gave a
tribute in reading entitled
Something good about you" Mr..
John Dickinson is youth counselor
of the church. The choir under the
direction of Mr.. John Dickinson
rendered two special numbers, one
of which was 'The Lords Prayer"
Miss Florence Brown sang a spec
ial number called 1.-THE Church of
Long Ago., and Mrs. Joseph Hut
Gibson, Jr. rendered a beautiful
selection called Mother, Home
and Heaven" The sermon was
based on the text Mother: one
great word in all Nature" He
spoke before a well filled church.
He said in part: All of nature is
vibrant with the blessings of
Motherhood. There is no sweeter
name to a child than mother; and
to mother a child. Two great cour-
ses to mankind; bad mothers and
thankless children. Children are
the subject of fond and prayerful
affections. She values them; she
studies them; she provides for
them. She consecrates them to the
service for God and mankind.
Children are divine gifts, and all
his gifts are good. God is on the
side of little children He is on the
side of parents who wish to train
and do well with their children.
Through this process God has
lifted us all above animalism, Next
to God is the power of mother in
nature and life. 1T is Gods way to
make known himself, and felt in
all the earth. The gospel accord
ing to mother is not to be under
estimated. She is a power in life

The transportation business
seems to jump forward by leaps
and bounds. Increased shipping
gives new imputs to the railroads
and all the great commercial sys-
TENS. The trucks also are hauling
many big loads. In this connection
it is well to state that the people
of the state are in great need of
a first class passenger service, to
run every day of the week. A train
to go north at 8 am. and return
south at 4:30 pm. would prove the
biggest boom the Delmarva PENN
sula could wish for. Going to the
cities on business or pleasure
would grow to larger proportions

pie are still wondering if this
grand help will ever come.
Near the top of the list of things

the Bay League, with headquar-

We will hear the grand cry from
the umpire '.Play Ball." Baseball
is waking up and may soon fill
the whole community with enthus-

the most difficult job and it has
been suggested that the club buy
its own grounds. We hope Town

Last Wednesday evening, May 5,

it's global quotas for paper, card
board and wallboard, which are
important Swedish export articles.
Sweden's food exports to Britain
will also be increased. For the
first time since World War II
these shipments will include but
ter, the quota being 5000 tons.
For bacon, the quota has been
raised from 5000 to 5000 tons.
The new treaty also provides for
some advances in Swedish ex-
ports of iron and steel and metal
products. Shipments of Swedish
iron ore will, in all likelihood, be
sufficient to meet British require
ments. British exports of coal and
coke and of iron and steel pro-
ducts, including plate for the ship
yards, are expected to show i'm
provements. Swedish automobile
imports are still regulated, but
the quota for cars from Britain
has been raised from 10 million
kronor in 1858 to 40 million.
Ninety per cent of Sweden's i'm
ports from. the OEEC countries,
including Britain, are free.
Sweden's trade with the Soviet
Union, which declined last year,
will probably expand somewhat in
1854. Sweden plans to increase
it's purchases of oil products.
Among articles and products that
Russia wants TO import from Swe-
den are butter, herring and razor
blades. Last year the Soviet I'm
ion bought 5000 tons of butter,
with payments largely in dollars.
This quantity represented one
third of Sweden's total butter ex-
ports.
