Mrs. Constance Brewn
Phones Georgetown $500

| The weather this year cooperated
with Sussex Post No. 8, American
Legion in carrying out the Circle
of Dimes so that $202 was taken
in, considerably more than last
years $3.50.
For the first time since it's be-
ginning several years ago, mem.
bers of the post and the Boy Scouts
who assisted them were able tC
preside i'm comfort at the outdoor
event Last year, for instance, the
cold and wind were so bitter that
no one was expected to serve more
than a half hour stint.
The pleasant weather also con.
tributed to the carnival atmosphere
as those on duty waved and called
out TO passing motorists rounding
the Circle, soliciting donations. The
Circle OF Dimes is believed to be
the only event of its type in the
United States, though city blocks
are frequently used for the same
purpose.
The 40 ct s train was at hand
and made almost continuous trips
from the Circle through the town
filed with sQuealing children.
William G. Lambden, commander
of the post, was in charge of the
Circle OF Dimes.
