polls, Maryland, will be the guest
preacher.
The special afternoon service
will be evening prayer at p. M,
which will be attended by the ma
jority of the dignitaries. The Rt.
Rev. Arthur j. McKinstry, retired
Bishop of Delaware, will also par
ticipate in events of the day it has
been announced.
Permission has been granted to
use the evening service from a first
edition of the English Prayer Book
of 1862, owned by st. Andrews
School, and used by the Congrega-
ton of Appoquinimink until 1888
when the American Book of Com
mon Prayer" was ratified by the
General Convention of the Church.
st. Anne's beginning dates back
to the Venerable Sociaty for the
Propagation of the Gospel in Fore
ign Parts. That organization, now
one of the most effective in the
world. was then in its infancy.
1t was DIR. Thomas Bray who
realized that the work in the
colonies could not be continr ed
without good books. In 1897 he OBJ
tanned a charter from King Will
liam for the establishment of the
Society for the Promotion of Chris
tan knowledge. He sailed for
America on December 20, 1899, and
nff hrin cfo RI IN IN o.
land with keener sense of the
great missionary opportunity which
the colonies afforded. This laid the
foundation for the establishment
of congregation in Appoquinimink.
The first document referring to
the history of the parish bears the
date of September /, 1904. 1t said:
"Whereas Richard Cantwell and
William Dyre with several others,
inhabitants upon and near Apo
quinimink Greek in the county of
New Castle have requested us (the
Commissioners of Property that
we would grant them a convenient
piece of ground for erecting a
Chapel for the use and behalf OF
themselves and the other members
of the Church of England; these
are to authorize and require them
to survey and lay out for the use
aforesaid, in the place by them de-
signed, for erecting the said chapel,
the quantity of ten acres on the left
hand of the Queens Road, below
the said creek, the quantity of ten
acres of land that is vacant, and
L.
veyor's office in Philadelphia"
The first church was built there
a year later. 1t is believed to have
been a simple wooden building, but
it provided a spiritual home for the
congregation for more than sixty
years.
A young priest, the Rev. Thomas
Jenkins, became the first settled
pastor. 1t is recorded that "he Ia
bored we'll and drew together a
congregation of some 200 persons,
but fate caused him to be stricken
i'll and he died on July 80. 1709,. "of
a calenture caused by the muske-
toes" No stone marks his grave
in t.-Anne's Cemetery, although he
is believed to have been buried
there. perhaps under the present
church structure.
Queen Anne of England took
great interest in this new mission
I'm America, history informs the
parish, and she presented it with
an altar cloth, fragment of which
bearing the royal letters "a. r.,
and said to have been embroidered
by her own hands, is still preserved
in the parish.

MEMS CLUB SENDS LETTER
TO BONNER AND SCOTT

At a recent meeting of the
Mems Club of Stumpy Point, the
following letter was approved to
be sent to Congressman Bonner
and Senator Scott:
"In as much as the village of
Stumpy Point has suffered con-
siderably in recent storms, we the
members of the Mems Club of
Stumpy Point request that our
Government send a dredge into
Stumpy Point Bay and pump sand
from the bed of the bay into the
marsh that lies between the high
way and the bay. With a sand
beach sufficiently high on the
shore of the bay our community
will be protected from storms
which now send tide water into
our village.
With Hurricane lone water came
into practically every home in the
community. Considerable damage
was done to porches, roofs, floors;
and in some cases to the interior
furniture. In some low places wa
ter came into the homes as high
as one, two, and three feet.

But to those whose business is
selling youth and glamour, it can
be catastrophe. Being a fading
star must be an unhappy business,
for having once been on top, it is
hard to take second billing. II
happens to others as well as movie
stars, of course. Many are the
unhappy women who find life
miserable when the youth and
beauty that they thought all-im-
portant are gone. Sadder still are
the aging lotharios, who despite
bald heads and bay windows, still
see themselves as irresistible.
Now that l have become philo-
sophical, I'm sorry that 1 said
Clark looked silly. After all, there
is such a thing as loyalty. Teen
ayers just can't be expected to
find him as exciting as Tony Cur
tbs, so l shall just have to stick
by him until he decides to give UP
and settle down. He and Humphrey
had both better start thinking it
over, for someday we women who
like them mature and cynical
might have to start staying home
and tending to our knitting while
the grandchildren go to the movies.

@ L | M P S E S
OF
til E P A S T
By CAROLYN LLOYD

I don't know whether Clark is
getting old or l am. Clark who?
Why, Gable, of course-is there
amy other Clark? One of US is
Tipping for sure, because I have
been to see his latest picture; and
for the first time he seemed not
romantic and virile, but just a
little silly. His ears aren't any
bigger than they have been during
all these years, nor his eyes any
squintier (new word) than when
admired him as Rhett Butler,
but those bulges don't look as much
like muscles any more. Now, l
could quite understand how Scarlet
O'Hara was carried away, but
Susan Hayward's infatuation didn't
seem so plausible. Oh, for the sake
of decency, she struggled, rather
feebly, against the infatuazion,
since she already had a husband;
but it was obvious from the first
that the struggle would naught
avail.
Hollywood doesn't seem to think
that Clark has lost his romantic
charm; therefore it must be me,
and that poses a problem: where
am / going to find another hero?
Any woman Tor man, if they would
admit it) knows that the way to
get the most enjoyment from a
picture is to identify oneself with
the heroine or hero, as the case
may be. Now even an active
imagination can cast me opposite
none of the screens pretty boys;
Marion Brando is always either
too tough, too miserable, or too
dirty; and though John Wayne is
rugged enough, not even in my
widest dreams do l see myself
riding madly across the plains or
shooting Indians. The problem
isn't quite so, great for men, as
they don't seem to have any
trouble imagining themselves
young and romantic enough for
any of the screens current
glamour girls (dirty dig); but l
just don't know what we girls
over twenty-one are going to do
for a hero.
1t was bad enough when Shirley
Temple grew up and became a
wife and mother, and Mickey
Rooney stopped being the boy
wonder and started getting mar
ried at regular intervals. 1t was
even more startling when the pa
pers started carrying stories about
Bing's grown sons. Then Gloria
Swanson started advertising that
she is fifty-three, and Marlene
DIETRICH began to brag about be-
ing a grandmother. There is only
one conclusion to draw-the years
aren't passing for them alone.
Actually, Clark and Marlene and
Gloria have my sympathy. To most
of us a glance in the mirror that
reveals a few more wrinkles and
gray hairs may be disturbing for
moment, but we generally
shrug it off with a $50 what?
You can't stay young forever"
