CLAYTON

Ewell's-St. Paul Church Notes
I'm the absence of the regular
church the following is submitted:
In our eagerness to occupy the
judgment seat, we jump at con-
clusions = we substitute opinions
for facts. we regard tittle-tat-
tie as truth. we believe what we
want to believe. While people of
judgment are slow to judge, little
minds pronounce sentence without
delay. Yet the Almighty himself
does not judge man until the end
of his days. Tolerance is a pro-
duct of humility. Let's learn to
be gentler with our neighbors'
failings. Let's be quicker to con-
done than condemn. Lets forgive
as we would like to be forgiven.

LABOR DAY
In DELAWARE
Governor j. Caleb Boggs Is
sues Proclamation For
Tribute to Labor
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER S

Delaware is enjoying peak pros
perity at the present time, and
indications are that the state has
not reached its industrial and
wage-producing opportunities, the
Governor, j. Caleb Boggs, said
this week in setting aside Mon
day, September 5, for the observ-
ance of Labor Day. In a proclaim
alton issued from his executive
offices, Governor Boggs asked that
special tribute be paid to the First
States labor force for 'its dill
gence, understanding and loyalty
and he praised the workers who
have the best record in the United
States for remaining on the job.
The chief executive pointed out
that Labor Day is the time to
mark the progress of our great
employer-employee teams whose
annual production of a great var
iety of commodities contributes so
much to the welfare of the nation
and the world" The proclamation
follows: Whereas, the people of
the State of Delaware are enjoy
ing period of peak employment,
and record wages are being paid
employees in almost all lines of
endeavor; and Whereas, reports
from our State Unemployment
Compensation Commission show
fewer people on their rolls, indi-
eating a period of new opportun-
ity and prosperity; and Whereas,
it is fitting that we pay annual
tribute to the men and women of
our labor force for their diligence,
understanding and loyalty; now
Therefore, I, ]. Caleb Boggs, Gov
ernor of the State of Delaware,
do hereby proclaim that Monday,
September 5, 1855, shall be OBJ
served as Labor Day I urge that
our national and state flags be
displayed on this occasion to mark
the progress of our great employ
er-employee teams whose annuai
production of a great variety of
commodities contributes so much
to the welfare of the nation and
the world. May I also express
my thanks in advance of this
coming Labor Day to all those
c.<zens who are calling attention

FISHING : HUNTING REPORT
Good Fishing Is Being Experienc-
ed In Delaware Waters

The hardy fisherman will find
good fishing in Delaware waters.
Those interested in curing fat
back for winter started netting
this week in Indian River and Re-
hoboth Bays with fair success.
Trout, croaker and founder are
being taken from these same wat
ers. The catch of the week was
81 croakers caught by a couple
after supper at Massey's Landing.
Luther Todd, Newark, Delaware
with founder weighing 7A lbs.
and Thomas Drandorff of Seaford
with one weighing 81 lbs. won
the net given by Mr.. Ayres each
week for the heaviest founder
brought in at Massey's Landing.
Trout, Kins, Croaker and Flound-
er are being caught in quantity
along the, jetties at Indian River
and Lewes. Grabbing and clam
ming continues to be excellent in
all the waters. Crabs are larger
this week and in greater numbers.
1t is seldom we have crabs in the
yacht basin at Indian River Inlet
but they are there now. Heavy
rains have driven large numbers
of carp up the streams to the
spillways of ponds. At Moore's
Lake, near Dover, 270 carp were
counted at one time on the apron
of the spillway. Many of these
are being taken with doughballs.
The gates at Cubbage Pond near
Lincoln gave way during the
heavy rains this week. The high
way which serves as a dixie has
been temporarily repaired. Della
