Georgetown Lions Club, St its
meeting in Midland Grange Hall
last week, voted to instruct the
secretary, James Kee- To write a
letter to each of the state repre-
sentatives in the area setting forth
the opposition of the club to pro-
posed budget cuts in the fields of
welfare, health and education.
Al lively discussion in which all
the numbers participated preceded
the action. Much of the discussion
was centered on the proposed elilni-
nation of the State Library Com
mission.
The idea to be expressed in the
letter was that the cuts in welfare,
health and education would not only
be detrimental but would not ma
terially lower the financial burden.
Joel Braunfield presided in the
absence of the president, Joseph
Wagner
A half hour of entertainment fol-
lowed during which each member
spoke briefly on an unexpected sub
ject.
Georgetown Chamber of Com
merce has renewed its fight for
bus service through the town.
Since the Short Line Bus Co., OBJ
tanned permission to abandon its
run from Milford to Selbyville,
Georgetown has been without any
public transportation.
Last week the Chamber noted that
both the Short Line and Trailways
have routed buses through Milton
at the same time, on the run from
Milford to Lewes and Rehoboth.
Letters have been written to both
bus companies calling such sched-
ule neither practical nor profitable
especially in view of Georgetown's
desperate need for service.
One route suggested would be
for the bus from Milford to go
down Rt. 113 past Glendale and
Lincoln through the newly popu-
lated areas, passing through
Georgetown and Harbeson and on
to Lewes and Rehoboth.
The little towns of Harbeson and
Coolspring have gone over the top
in the 1858 Red Cross fund drive.
Mrs. Molloy c. Vaughn and Mrs.
Alberta Wagamon, Coolspring, with
a quota of SIS have already taken
in more than S76 and Harbeson,
with Mrs. Arthur Smith as chair
man, has donated $127.35 with a
$125 quota. Assisting Mrs. Smith
are Mrs. Edith Barker, Mrs. Nellie
Rust, Mrs. Lawrence Mason, Mrs.
Olga Davidson and Mrs. Douglas
Hudson.
Dolly, two-year-old black and
white alley cat owned by the three
little girls of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Pirtard, E. Market ST., owes her life
to the kindness of a stranger.
She was apparently struck by a
car on the street near her home
and lay there seemingly dead. How
ever, a passerby, later identified as
Jack Reynolds, Seaford, stopped to
examine her.
Finding there was still life in the
cat, he carried it in his arms until
he found her owners. A trip to the
vet and prayers by the three little
girls brought Dolly out of her coma
and back to her normal life.
The Pittards said they thought
people should know about the Incl
dent since stories of neglect and
cruelty are so often emphasized.
James F. Wallis president and
manager of the Georgetown Lumber
Co., was speaker at the meeting of
the Georgetown Kiwanis Club in
Grace Church Hall, last week.
His subject was Better Homes .
and among other things, he told of
the Woman's Congress which was
set up in order that the women
themselves could report on how
they would like to build new home
and how they would fix it to their
