family moved away from Town
send in 1904. 1t was really in 1916
when they moved to Lewes, Del.
and soon thereafter started shirt
and overall factories in two or
three towns of Sussex County,
one of these being Lewes. This
family was an interesting and
friendly one, and they had gained
a lot of friends while residing
here. At one time they ran a
nice store on West Main Street
and they served the public in a
fine way. For several years after
moving to Lewes the family used
to return to our town where they
got a royal welcome from friends,
their visiting being social and
supremely pleasant.
The only way to get along with
some people is to get along with
out them.
Isn't it funny how a secret is
either too good to keep or not
worth keeping.
The young man who thinks the
world owes him a living becomes
the old man who blames the
world for his failure.
One of the most difficult things
to do these days is to overesti-
mate what it will cost to build
something.
How a man turns out in the
long run depends a great deal
upon what kind of woman decides
to marry him.
If they go out of existence the
railroads will leave an imposing
history of their grand upbuilding
of the transportation system in
America. They laid track in 1885
and lot of amazing people stood
by to watch them pass the first
train down the Delaware Road.
Their equipment was crude and
poorly planned but, of course,
was the best they knew how in
those days. For years they op-
Grated with one track but later
the volume of business grew so
great that they found two tracks
imperative, and soon had it add
ed to the system. Their presence
has been a blessing and has made
towns boom and grow, even start
ing a new town where a farm
field formerly existed. The rail-
roads have given work to thou
sands of people and helped to put

Slogan of the drive is to be
Thanksgiving Feast for Rats"
The neighborhood committees in
each area throughout the state
will concentrate on a cleanup to
remove harboring places for rats.
Following this, they will set out

many communities into a thriv-
ing and happy routine Of success.
With the hunting season near
at hand, hunters are getting their
guns ready and selecting their
dogs for the exciting season. Each
season usually brings together
various huntsmen who travel to-
gether all day and at sundown
hold a get-together in a cabin
near Delaneys. While there they
have supper together and then
spend the evening in telling jokes,
swapping yarns and arranging
some kind of meet next year. At
these meetings old-time friends
meet after a long lapse of time
and they gladly recall events that
happened while together years
ago. 1t all proves an uplift in the
human interest of mankind.
The Townsend Basebill Club ac-
quilted itself with honor and re-
spect after playing good, clean
ball all season. They met their
friendly foes on square terms of
agreement and played the game
without any unpleasant scenes to
mar the game. In other words
they played fair and showed no
deceit in any part of the games
in which they were involved. They
were a set of courageous young
men and went forth to conquer
with all their might, leaving any
dirty plays or evil designs out of
their program. The Times writer
found it a pleasure to sit and
watch the heroic young fellows
strive hard to capture the game
but in every case the fowl acts
were strictly omitted. The COM
munity realizes that it is real nice
to have a baseball team like that.

Two of the greatest tree climb
ers in this section were zack
Roberts and Warner Brockson.
They said they could climb a tree
as fast foot foremost as they
could in the regular way. Once
they made a bet and then tried
their skill. They had a fellow
then with them, and he kept
time on the stunt. They both
climbed a sycamore tree, one
about 7-inches thick in five min
utes dat. Later on they climbed
a telephone pole in about the
same time. They loved to climb
and took on all the bets they
could get. They were stout, able
bodied men and were of the rug
ged, western build. They said
they found no hardship in what
ever work they tried to do but
would tackle the task with a
smile. They showed exhibition
climbing in some of the shows
that Travelled up and down the
state and were paid well for it.
Excitement in the old days ran
as high as in the present time.
Bicycle races and relays down the
state every Saturday drew crowds
of spectators along the highways
to watch the fine display of sport.
Then again John L. Sullivan drew
special attention by knocking out
his man. He was the world cham
pion prize fighter. Then, one year
to cap the climax, a gang of rob-
bers envaded the state, coming
from Philadelphia, and they had
most people filled with fright as
they were going from one end of
the state to the other. One
morning they were coming north
on the three am. express and
when passing Bridgeville some Of
ficers who happened to be on the
train, tried to capture them. Two
of the robbers jumped out of the
car window as the train sped
along and they were badly hurt
but managed to get away.
People are becoming increasing
ly impatient. An Ohio motorist
came upon house being moved
across a street and drove right
through it.

Plays In English
Available To Nests

Pittsburgh, Pa. - Believ-
ing as we do that only thru
at least an annual Nest af-
fair can the interest of the
Juniors be kept at a keen
edge and even the parents
made conscious, the Croatian
Fraternal Union through the
Sports-Educational De p art
ment makes available to the
Nests a range of plays in the
English language.
We regret to say, that even
after inquiry with a source
in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, that
our stock of children's plays
in the Croatian language is
somewhat limited.
Those plays which we make
available come with compli-
ments of the Society. We
have even a few books to loan
that may help a Nest Man
ager plan or choose a skit in
the English language ire
spective of the season of the
year.
AS the Junior Orders for
tieth anniversary and COM
memorative Junior conven-
ton whips the enthusiasm to
higher pitch we look forward
to having more of our affili-
ates avail themselves of the
facilities of what the Cro-
attain Fraternal Union has to
offer.
We hope that the fortieth
year jubilee will among other
things bring to the adults the
realization that we have in
the Junior Order a large SUBJ
division of the Croatian Fra
ternal Union. We adult men,
bers owe the youngsters a
program, once or even twice
a year. These plays and skits
are offered as a nucleus round
which to build your Nests
program as the Junior Order
in your center celebrates.

Bay Area League Ends
Grind With Festivities

~hHshM WIFI ~SssEshh~S
San Francisco. Cal. - The
Bay Area Mixed Handicap c.
F. U. League brought to close
a n OF h e r highly successful
bowling season with a BAN
quet and social at Veneto's
Restaurant on Saturday, May
7th.
Following a most competi-
tive bowling season in it's his
tory, the League presented
trophies to three teams, with
new faces taking top awards.
On April II, the play-off
night of the season, the PRO
gress" team, winner of the
first half, was matched a.
gainst the "Lucky-Strikes"
team, the winner of the Sec
ond half, with Progress
taking the first awards of
the League.
We had previously predict
ed that the Lucky Strikes,
having won more games than
any other team, would come
out on top, but the rules of
the League provided for split
season play-offs and proved
our prediction wrong.
In the play-off, SECOND
place was conquered by a fast
up-coming team, known as
the East Siders. They out.
slugged the Flying Saucers
quintet.
The third place winners,
l"Cigani'', made a dramatic
up-surge in order to win, as
is the custom with them. In
the play-off for the third spot
against the Hreljen team, Ci'
gani lost the first game, tiec
! for the second game, and, ir
accordance with the rules o1
the play-offs and ties, were
II pins behind going into The
final game. With practically
} two strikes against them, thu
Cigani came through. Thi'
put the trophies into the bas
; for the Cigani, with a hun
dred pins over.
John Vitalich won tn
. mems high with a 268, am
high series was taken by An
tone Ficovich with a $50.
In the women's division
Kay Petrucela's 259 took tn
: high game, and Mary Mer

a 511.
, Dorothy Chene won tn

the mems division. We woul,
: also like to mention tha
J Frank Kuchan won the awar'
for being the leagues mos
improved bowler of the year
!, and Roman Crnich received
medal for bowling the frs
