Medical Society
Auxiliary Meets
In SeafOrd

The Women's Auxiliary to the
Sussex County Medical Society met
on Thursday evening, November ~,
at the home of DR.. and Mrs. j. Le-
land Fox in Seaford.
Mrs. Leslie Dobson, President,
called the meeting to order, and
the minutes of the May meeting
were read by the secretary, Mrs.
Corrine Fooks. There was a plea
SAINT correction to those minutes in
that we learned that our society
was entitled to four delegates at
tending the State Convention. We
may also have four alternates. This
is due to our fine membership, and
representation of ten per cent of
membership total.
Mrs. Aubrey Smoot, Jr., treas
urer, gave her report on the fin
ances, and the business of the eve
ming was discussed.
Mrs. Laurence Fitchett was
chosen to talk to the members
about the happenings at the State
Convention last month, October Is.
This report was climaxed with a
repetition of the excellent report
that our president had made in our
behalf at the same convention. She
cited the accomplishments of the
Sussex County Society for the past
year. The Society made a fine
showing.
Mrs. Robert F. Lewis, Para-Med-
ical Careers chairman, reported on
Nursing scholarships and urged
each member to keep in touch with
our nurses on these scholarships,
encourage them, and keep alert the
interest in Future Nurses Clubs,
etc.
Our new Civil Defense chairman
is Mrs. Laurence Fitchett
OF special interest to the society
was the observation on magazine
reports. "Today's Health" is sold
on all news stands now. The re-
cent, newly-publicized magazine,
''The doctors Wife" has not met
the approval of the American Med
zeal Association.
After the adjournment of busi-
ness, the physicians of Sussex
County johled their wives in a de-
lightful social hour with Doctor
and Mrs. Fox.

both be closed Thanksgiving Day,
November 26. The Museum will re-
open Friday, November 27, at IL
o'clock, whereas the Dickinson
Mansion will reopen at 10 o'clock
on the same day.
A new display at the Museum,
appropriate at this time of the
year, is a hunting exhibit showing
muzzle loading percussion rifle
and double barrel shot gun along
with a group of powder horns and
TASKS of various sizes. Also shown
are a leather hunting bag, a shot
mold and other items used by the
hunter of years gone by.
In the Recent Accessions exhibit
is Straffordshire plate made by
Mellor Venables showing in poly
chrome the Arms of the state-Del-
aware in the center; Pennsylvania,
North Carolina and Massachusetts
alternating in a border; a garni-
ture of Oriental Exportware vases,
spirit tester, two hand carved

the Henry Draper Medal awarded
to DIR. Cannon, her Phi Beta Kappa
key, a Sigma Phi Epsilon pin and
the official death notice issued by
Harvard University.
Now that the fall season has
arrived the ground maintenance
work has declined, the work of fur
ther development of the kitchen
garden and the burial plot is pro-
ceeding at the John Dickinson Man
sion. This part of the garden
landscaping was made possible
through the generosity of the Sons
of Colonial Wars in the State OF
Delaware
The Eighteenth Century atmos-
phere of the John Dickinson Man
sion is enhanced during the winter
months by the use of simulated
candles in the late afternoon and
on dark days. This pleasing mel
low tone gives good idea of the
illumination available to our an
cestors.

help to make the
culture of people and the
things that were important in
that day have changed until
there is hardly any recogni-
ton of them. But the main
part of the dinner, the piece de
resistance, as it is often call
ed, remains the same. The
good Governor of that long
ago day sent out the fowlers to
bring in the turkey and the
wild fowl for the midday meal
and then with a grateful heart
led his people in generous
thanks to Him Who had pro-
vided so plenteously for them.
The time came when turkey
was specially reserved for the
feast days of winter, like
thanksgiving ana CnrlStHaS,
until today this fare is so gen.
orally served that turkey is
the least of rareties. But who
cares for food, if all of the
members of the families can
gather around a board and in
giving things remember how
fortunate they are to have ex-
perienced another year, full of
health, blessings of all kinds,
and distances have been such
that Thanksgiving Day finds
all of the members experience

to figure in every day life more
