and free periods in the craft lodge. Mr..
Bob Ashley, Tue son Scout Executive, gave
our Troop great deal of his time, be-
cause Of the interest shown. Our Scouts
were constantly making appointments With
him to getin the lodge. The desire for
creative art and hand work resulted in
the boys purchasing supplies in the
craft field--to work onaat home. Sew
eral types Of braids using calored ley
nard were also taught. The Scouts took
home the things they made. good job
was performed with the leather belts,
metal trays and wood carvings.
Andrew Farley and Eds Johnson per-
formed Indian dances on Troop skit night,
Edi son made enough points to remain in
the archery tournament working towards
the archery merit badge. Archery proved
to be popular sport and we'll liked by
our members. AS With craft, extra per-
iods were arranged.
Other activity periods included rifle,
mo skeeto, nature lore, compass, axnan-
ship, BIB range, outdoor cooking and
hike to the ranger tower. Best 2f all
was the fine spirit displayed and friend
ship with members Of other troops.
Thanks to The Scout men whom the bows

Father So1ano


By: Father So1ano
Indians In the village Of Zig Fields
honored the patron Of their church with
a gala celebration.
1t is O'Clock in the morning. The Viii
1age Of Big Fields is surrounded by the
orange glow of the morning sun. There
is a rapid pealing Of the chapel bell, the
cracking explosion OF several sky roc
kets, and the soft, distant, struming
Of guitar. A procession has formed at
the entrance Of the chapel and is now
moving slowly across che desert field
be tween the chapel and the feast house.
In front of the feast houss the steer
which will provide the Indians Wi tn their
main course at the fest dinner is tied
up. There is the singing Of Spanish
hurn, the missionary, Father So1ano,
raises his hand in blessing, and an Ind
ian man approaches and plunges knife
into the heart Of the animal. The feast
day celebration in honor Of St. Aloysius,
patron Of the village chapel, has begun.
The fiesta would center around the High
Mass--a point which the Padres have in
sisted upon since the conversion of these
people. The entire congregation sang
the 'HiSa vi Scaina," a Mass which was
Taught GO LnS 10A1dIlS OA CIC Nd4A1OIu4d
Nj ssions by the early Franci scan Padres.
The Hi gh Mass also marked the occasion of
the marriage Of lnos Listo and Dorothy
Pitero.
After che Mass, at which the entire vii
lage went co Communion, the fiesta meal
was served. Dinner was served in the
day and into the nj ght as hundreds Of
Indians came to participate in the fes-
tivities. Even before the arrival of
the Padres these feasts we're held so
that friends and relatives could meet
and renew their friendship.
.~
In the evening at O'Clock a. solemn pro-
cession was held in which the picture Of
St. A1oysius was carried to the outdoor
shrine Of the Blessed Mother. This was
followed by American and Indian Dances.

Board Last Thursday
Afternoon

The Women's Auxiliary to the
Board of Trustees of the Delaware
State Hospital and the Bacon
Health Center were guests of the
Board on Thursday, June 2, at the
latter institution. DR.. M. A. Taru-
miami, gave a comprehensive re-
port of the two institutions and
then outlined a policy approved by
the trustees relative TO Delaware
Colony at Stockley. DR.. Tarumianz
is awaiting action by the General
Assembly to learn If Delaware
Colony is to be placed under the
administration of the State Hos
pital and if so he has a plan of
action for the best interest of all
types of patients. The present su-
perintendent of the Colony, DR..
Pasquale Buoniconto, has resigned
and will leave his post June 21st.
DR.. Tarumianz was most apprecia-
tive of all the volunteer services
and donations on the part of indi-
viduals and organized groups and
made mention of each one in his
report. The May census was 1885
patients at Delaware State Hospital
and 394 at Bacon Health Center.
These institutions do not escape
the major institutional problems of
maintaining an adequate staff on

June Days We're
Highly Successful
Here Last Weekend
Shopping Public Pleased
With Offering Of CO.
/ operating Stores; Will
Be Repeated In 1856.

According TO many of the shop
pers from all parts of lower Del
aware, who came to Milford for
this citys first June Days last
Friday and Saturday, the sales
fete was an outstanding success.
The Days" were sponsored by
the Mercantile Division of the Mil
ford Chamber OF Commerce, and
were the result of a series of meet
ings of that group. To Courtney
Burch, chairman of the Mercantile
Division, must go much of the cred
1t for the promotion. Mr.. Burch was
assisted by Robert III. Yerkes, sec
retary of the Board of Directors of
the Chamber of Commerce, and sec
Tetary of the Mercantile Division.
From the standpoint of the sew
enteen merchants, who cooperated
in the fete, by offering some real
down-to-earth values during the
Days. the promotion was success
full. in some instances it was said
by various ones of the participating
merchants to have exceeded money
wise any previous attempted sales
fete or promotion.
The stores participating were
thronged with shoppers from mid
morning Friday, until the closing
hour on Saturday evening.
Mr.. Burch stated today that plans
for August Dollar Days were being
worked out, and tentative plans
call for the observance of that
semi-annual promotion the first
weekend in August, namely Fri
day and Saturday, August and 6.
1t Is also quite possible that
there will be a sales promotion
early next October, plans for which
will be developed later in the sum-
mer.
Under the direction of Mr.. Burct
the Mercantile Division has to date
enjoyed one of it's most if not its
