The following named persons
have been appointed fence view
ers for Appoquinimink Hundred
for the ensuing year: w. Penn
Wilson, foreman; Melvin Van
Horn, w. Scott Rheims, Leon J..
Buckson and N. w. Van Horn.
Plans for the observance of
Memorial Day are being complet-
ed. In other years the firing squad
of the David C. Harrison Post
No. Ia of Smyrna would arrive
at the Plaque on Main Street
about IL o'clock and carry out
their program including firing a
salute. Then at 1:30 pm. the
people of the community and
nearby sections gathered at the
local cemetery for another service
of solemn and reverent devotion
to their loved ones. They strew
flowers on the graves and this
gave relatives and friends a
chance to mingle and enjoy the
friendship that extends over the
years.
Some men are so busy learning

and very encouraging. The wood
choppers who have been in the
woods a few days, had to quit
work to await more favorable
weather, so it did give them a
rest spell for the time being.
One of the best runners in this
part of the state was B. Howard
Craddock, a young man who often
tried out his speed on the various
nearby tracks. He was never
clocked but it was the general be-
lief that he did five minutes fiat
per mile and scarcely no trouble
to do it. He gave an exhibition
run at Dover and easily beat his
opponents in circling the track.
In later years he went to Phila-
delphia but was remembered by
many for his clever sprinting.
Queer games of baseball used
to make people wonder how funny
could game ever become. In one
game at Warwick on June 18th,
1894, when Middletown played
Warwick, the score rose to A to
4, and many spectators left the
scene in disgust. Albert E. CHM
was pitching for Middletown and
evidently he too, went home really
ashamed of the game. He said
even the small boys could beat
that score.
MRS. Alvan Atwell and daugh-
ter-in-law, Mrs. Dana Atwell, of
Collins Park, near Wilmington,
visited relatives and friends here
on Mothers Day. They attended
services at the church. Mr.. Dona
Atwell and four members of the
firm he works for went on bust
ness trip to Chicago for the past
three weeks. He came home on
Saturday.
Mrs. Estella Outten left home
for Philadelphia on Friday morn
ing to take plane to Santiago,
California, to visit her son, Har-
old, a lieutenant commander in
the Navy and is expected to be
gone for several weeks. All wish
her a very pleasant trip.
Mrs. Mafie Lienberger of West
Main Street left Wednesday for
the Kent General Hospital and un-
derwent an operation on Friday
morning. Her friends and relatives
wish her a speedy recovery.
Did George Washington visit
Middletown, also Smyrna, on one
of his weekly travels. Historians
tell us that he went to Middle
town and stayed at the Wither-

The week beginning with the
third Monday in May has been
designated officially and perman-
emily by the Post Office Depart
ment as Rural Mailbox Improve
ment Week. The campaign for 1855
begins on May 16 and extends
through May %. Postmasters are
expected to acquaint the patrons
of the rural delivery service with
the following facts, which meet
with the wishes of the Depart
ment during the Rural Mailbox
Improvement Week. Lack of CO.
operation by patrons may inter-
rupt in the delivery and collection
of mail after the annual inspec-
tion of mailboxes later in May.
Postal laws and regulations re-
qIIire, as follows: 1. Mail boxes
should have signals, doors and be
both waterproof and free of wasps
and bees. 2. Mail boxes should
be leveled, fastened securely and
kept painted with either aluminium
or white paint. 8. Mail boxes
should face the road and be on
the righthand side as Travelled by
the carrier. 4. Mail boxes should
be AZ inches above roadway and
be conveniently located for the
carrier near the edge of the road.
Consult your rural carrier for
proper location and correct set

To live contented have faith
enough in yourself to remove anx-
ious fears for the future.
Years ago George Wilson, an
aged resident, grew tired of local
life and scenes and crept away to
parts unknown. For three or four
years he was strangely missing
and all efforts to get word of his
whereabouts proved futile. His
wife was almost frantic and call
ed on the various public agencies
to help locate him. They, too,
failed to get any clues. Clothed in
mystery, the man was gone under
odd circumstances. One morning
after breakfast he left on his fun
ny trip. Not a word from him in
three or four years, and every
body had given him up as dead.
Then, suddenly, he surprised ev-
erybody by returning home. Ar
irving home he spoke to no one
and told them nothing. Probably
his wife never found out where he
had been. Few years later he died
and carried the secret with him
to the grave. 1t was a remark
ably odd case and one seldom
equalled in our little state. But he
was gone, he told people nothing;
so they wondered.
Again the old red house has
taken on another curiosity. For
years a mulberry tree grew out
from under the kitchen roof, on
the west side. The tree there for
years, then Mrs. Annie sBlanch-
field, who lives there had the tree
removed, when it was found to
be tearing off the weather board
ing. Now another mulberry tree
is coming out at the base of the
kitchen window, on the south side.
The tree looks healthy enough,
but it also is pulling off the
weatherboarding to great extent.
The trees start up from the
ground directly below and soon
shoot out when they reach door
or a window. These trees as nov
elites have always attracted much
attention.
Rain in the form of a drizzle
brought relief to the dry situation
that was causing some alarm
among the farmers, gardeners and
others. Crops were beginning to
wither and otherwise show the eff
fects of the long dry spell. The
rain gave surprising help to all
vegetation and all ground things
took on new life. Apparently, as
the light fall continued through
Saturday, at the time lima beans
were sprouting out of the ground
and the help to them was magic.
The corn crop was likewise a suf-
ferer from the drought and its
answer to the rainfall was quick

Fruit Juice Stains

Stains of fruit juice, tea or cof-
fee can usually be removed from
white linen by pouring boiling wa
ter through the cloth. The mater
ial should be stretched taut and
the water poured from some dis
tance above it, so that the water
strikes the fabric with some force.

Stubborn stains may be covered
with glycerine and the hot water
poured through again. Any stains
not responding to this treatment
should be treated alternately with
