The first post World War I eff
fort to meet the city's need was
a 1945 resolution introduced in
Congress to provide a building to

Citizens Committee for the Ma

District of Columbia residents and
citizens from every State in the
Union, was formed. But the reso-

Since the Coolidge Auditorium,
the only concrete step has been
the erection of the Carter Barron
Amphitheater in Rock Greek Park,
which has been tremendous sue

outdoor presentations, but which
by no means meets the city's re-
quirementS.
Last July Congress created a
commission of 81 members to plan
an auditorium. including an In
augural Hall of Presidents, music,
fine arts and mass commu-

was directed to seek a way to
finance the project on Self-liqui-
dating basis and to report to the
President and to Congress by Feb

next January 81. The commission
entered upon its duties with firm
determination. At its first regular
meeting a planning board was set
up, composed of eight leading archi-
tectural engineering firms from all
sections of the United States. A
national Research Council was also
named. Now. in order to impress

ly and never failed to perform an
act that meant big helping hand
to someone needing his assistance.
Another attribute that belonged
to him was to play fair in deal
ing with the average person and
won much approval from those he
had known for a long time. His
counsel was often sought by many
who knew his judgment to be
sound and convincing. He was a
man of many interests and was
talented in all. He will be greatly
missed for a long time.
Many observers admire the
stunt of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road as the company moves all of
its trains on one main track. The
meeting and passing of the trains
attracts wide attention and as we
said before, no little admiration
during the rush of the holiday
season the train schedule was well
maintained and appreciated by the
patrons of the great system. Moth
ing seems too excessive for the
railroads to handle with neatness
and dispatch.

This compares with 261 last year
and sos the year before, the first
year of legal deer hunting in the
state. One of the big kills in this
section was by ]. P. Callahan
from Montchanin. He killed TO-
pound buck with a 21-inch antler
spread. 1t was two and one-half
years old. Also a 170-pound buck
with six point antlers and 23-
inch spread was shot by Thomas
Pritchett at Blackiston's Cross
Roads, west of Clayton. This buck
is. said to have had the best pro-
portioned antlers of any during
the season. The weights were all
dressed. About twenty percent
can be added for live weight.
Doctors have discovered that
real winter weather cures disease
and a large number of tests have
demonstrated that winter made 8
lot of people well, after trying out
lot of medicine and the medi-
cine was a failure. 1t has been
shown that people long i'll, or they
struggled through the fall that
way, have become well after be-
ing out in the cold for a few days
The medical men say it is indeed
surprising how quickly a change
of tough weather can make peo-
pie go on the mend. SO don't
fight winter. Just use it to relax
and get well.
The first canning establishment
in our town was begun here in
1892. Two men from Aberdeen
Md. decided to start a model can
merry here that year, so in time
they started to can both corn and
tomatoes on a large scale. They
hired so workers to do the jon
and then operated every year
thereafter. 1t was fine enter
prise and a big help to the COM
munity. These two men were
Messrs. Finney Wells and John G,
Herring, and both proved they
knew the canning business from
A to 2. They were popular men
and kept making the cannery
larger. They operated the can
merry until 1904 when Mr.. George

Winter with its full force-or
perhaps glory-is expected any
moment to drop a heavy snow
and surprise everybody most any
day now. The big SHOWS used to
tie up everything and affairs re-
mained suspended for long dura-
tion. Men by the hundreds were
called to clear the railroad tracks,
open the highways, and look after
people who were barricaded in by
the deep drifts. The big SHOWS
of years ago had everybody guess
ing, and no one seemed to know
what to do to content himself or
herself. Often these storms took
on a blizzard form and lot of
suffering followed its visitation.
Old railroad men know only too
well how the fierceness of a big
snow storm stung everybody and
a deep distress made all of the
people hope to see the storm go
as soon as possible.
A bear hunt proved a very ex-
citing pasttime for some 40 farm
ers after they had been warned
that a big black bear had escaped
from the Black Cat Inn at State
Road back in 1881. Reports indi-
Gated that the escaped animal had
come towards Townsend and the
alarm put a posse of gunners on
guard. After an all-day search,
no trace of the bear was found
but the farmers watched the
woods and fields for several days
afterwards, but there was no evil
dence of the bears presence. A
few days later the bear was shot
near Port Penn.

A big day in Delaware was the
occasion of William ]. Bryan
known as the Boy Orator of the
Platte, coming to this state to
make a stirring campaign address.
He spoke from the rear of his
special train and a crowd Of $50
assembled at the railway station
to hear him. He was advocating
the silver question of 16 to i and
made an eloquent plea for the
silver cause. William ]. Bryan
was also an advocate of prohibi-
tion.
George BIondell of Wilmington
says he has had tough luck while
hunting for deer. He says he
has shot at a deer a dozen times
only to miss his mark each time.
Some friends told him to try an
other gun, but it did not change
his luck. He also said it made
him so mad to see the deer gal
lop away when he missed it, it
appeared to say to him, mo you

Harry Mabrey got the notion
to build a railroad, one from
Townsend to Flemings Landing.
He ordered the ties and rails but
could not raise money enough to
purchase an engine and three cars
so he gave up the idea in disgust.

Besides being a first-class train

was true churchman. He handl-

he was available and rendered a
fine service. Raised on a farm

Pope Recorers,

To Pilgrims

VATICAN CITY -NC)-- His
Holiness Pope Plus XII has re-
sumed papal audiences after a
two-day cancellation because of a
sore throat and general fatigue.
He has, however, not yet return
ed to his practice of making short
speeches to special groups.
On his name day, June 2, the
Feast of st. Eugene, the Holy
Father granted general audi
ence in st. Peters Basilica to
thousands of pilgrims, and later
in the day he attended a choral
concert.
At a general audience on May
20 it was announced that be-
cause of his sore throat the Pope
would. mot be able to address the
faithful in his usual fashion. II
was revealed later that the sore
throat was caused by the Pope's
fatigue and that his doctors had
ordered him to discontinue audi
ences temporarily.

sad reality is that upwards of 20

Two New Parishes
Established Here

Bishop Ready this week an
nounced the formation of two new
parishes in Columbus to serve the
growing Catholic population of
the area. The new parishes bring
to thirty-eight the number of par
ishes in Columbus.
st. Matthias parish, which will
be located on Karl road, Colum-
bus, will take in part of what is
now st. James parish.
Bishop Ready has appointed
Father Ralph Dermody as the
first parish-priest and the new
pastor will take over his duties
on June IA.
The second new parish st.
Brendan's parish, will take in an
area which was formerly served
by st. Agathas and st. Andrews
parish. 1t will be located on Dub
lin road, Columbus.
Father Michael w. Wellnitz,
who has been serving as pastor of
st. Mary's, Shawnee, has been
assigned as first pastor of the
new parish of st. Brendan's.
The new st. Brendan's parish
is named after the Irish saint who
was born in in 484 AID. in County
Kerry, Ireland, and died in Ann
aghdown in SIT.
He belongs to that glorious per-
iod in the history of Ireland when
the island, in the first glow of its
conversion to Christianity, sent
forth its earliest messengers of
the Faith to the continent and to
various islands in the sea.
Besides preaching the gospel in
his native land, st. Brendan work
ed in Wales and England. He es-
tablished the Sees of Ardfert and
Annaghdown and founded many
churches throughout the area.
His feast day is observed on
May 16.
st. Matthias parish is named
after one of the IL Apostles. The
saint was one of the seventy dis
ciples of Our Lord, and was with
Him from His baptism to the AS
cension. 1t is related in the days
