Hits S2,949,516

The states net income from rae
ing at Delaware Park this year
was $2,s49, 1896, the Della. Rae
ing Commission reported this week.
The figure is highest ever record
ed in the 22 racing seasons at the
Stanton track.
In it's annual report, the commits
sion listed gross income of $685.
393.84 and expenses of $4,87718.
The largest single source of the
state's revenue from fiat racing
is the four and one-half per cent

which totalled $56,0O0.O61 in the
50-day meeting. The tax came to
$2,62O,OO2.75.

What's The X IN Xmas ?

A riddle, lords and ladies, to keep
Christmas bright: What is the one
thing Christmas can't do without? ?
What is the secret ''X" ingredient
in Xmas? Is it holly? Mistletoe? A
twinkling tree? Plum pudding?
Piles of presents? Carols in the
street, or turkey in the oven?
No, none of these. No shop sells
the indispensable ingredient of
Christmas, yet anyone can have it
without paying a penny. Of course,
you've guessed it The only indis-
pesable ingredient of Christmas is
a loving heart. Take away all the
trimmings-the turkey and the tree,
the glitter and the rustling of the
gifts, the candlelight and cake. 1t
would still be Christmas in the
hearts of people gathered together
out of good feeling for each other.
If you want the best Christmas
of all this year, stretch the Christ
mas tree trimming to include some-
one who has no tree. Put two or
three extra chairs around the
Christmas dinner table for strang-
ers who have none of their own. If
there are only lonely ones in your
neighborhood, try the hospitals,
convalescent homes, children's shell
ters, veterans organizations. or
centers for the blind, crippled, or
otherwise handicapped.
This is the same spirit that in
vited the stranger and the wander
ing minstrel to the Christmas feast
in medieval castles. It is called, for
short, .'the Christmas spirit, or
the X in Xmas.

St. Bernadette's
New Building

Another chapter in the history
of St. Bernadette's Parish in Har-
rington will be started on Sunday,
December 20, when the second
building erected on the parish pro-
perty will be dedicated. Six years
ago last September the first Cath
Ollie Church ever to be built in Har-
rington was dedicated by the Most
Rev. Edmond J.. FitzMaurice. The
building that has just been COM
pleted will be the first such build
ing not only in Harrington but in
the entire diocese of Wilmington.
Because five of its rooms will be
used each week for conducting
classes of religion according to the
Confraternity of Christian Doctrine
program, the building will be
blessed as a school. Elsewhere
when a school is blessed in any
parish the building is used for the
teaching of other subjects as well
as religion. But ST. Benrnadette's
new building has been built to pro-
vide better facilities for the Contra
ternity classes. Previously these
classes have been held in the small
er confines of the parish house.
The new building is approximate
ly fifty feet wide and one hundred
feet long. In the center of the
building is large multi-purpose
room that will be used for social
and dramatic events. On each side
of this room are three smaller
rooms that will serve as the class
rooms and another room for par
ish meetings and as an office for
the pastor. Along the front of the
building are located such functional
rooms as the kitchen, the cloak
room and the rest rooms. The en-
tire building has been built as
thoroughly fire-proof as. possible
All the interior partitions as well
as the. exterior walls have been
built of concrete blocks; concrete
floors have been poured in all the
rooms; the ceilings are of acousti-
cal tile. At the west end of the
multi-purpOse room a stage has
been built. The attractive setting
was designed by Miss Freda Bar
barika whose studio is located in
Milford. Many of the parishoners
have contributed much time and
considerable effort in preparing
the building for its dedication.
The ceremonies will begin at
four o'clock on Sunday afternoon.
The public as well as the parishon-
ers are cordially invited to attend.
This invitation is extended by the
Rev. John A. Corrigan, the Pastor
of the parish, His Excellency, the
Most Rev. Michael w. Hyle, d. D..
the Coadjutor Bishop of Wilmington
and Titular Bishop of Christopolis,
will officiate at the dedication and
be the celebrant of Benediction
following the ceremonies. He will
be assisted by the Rev. James A.
Peterman IS the Deacon and the
Rev. Thomas j. Peterman as the
sub-Deacon. The Rev. James r.
Hammel will be the Master of
Ceremonies Following the cere-
monies covered dish luncheon
will be served by the parishoners.

The annual reports figures on
transportation show once again
that thousands of out of state pa
irons come to Delaware Park by
railroad and bus in addition to
those who come by car. The Penn
sylvania Railroad brought $1,000
from Philadelphia, and 8,109 from
Chester and the Baltimore and
Ohio brought 1855 from Balti-
more as well as 6,937 from Wash
ingtOn.
The Public Service Transport
of New Jersey hauled 1889 GUS
toners from Philadelphia, and
Camden-more than the total of
1859 the Delaware Coach Com
pany brought from Wilmington and
Newark.
In 1859 the favorite won 305
per cent of the races. This was
little below the 1858 experience,
when favorites won one race in
three and was close to the 1857
figure of 29.68 per cent.
The total amount distributed in
purses this year was $1,802,500.

Courage need not be obvious. It Is

their duties, no matter what the temptation

courage is to be found only in men who are
also temperate. Just, and prudent or wise.
Their reason for this is that taking risks
or bearing hardships must be done for the
right purpose. They would not call a
gangster a courageous man simply because
he takes calculated risks or remains cool
in the face of danger. Since he is over
coming his fears to achieve an evil, not a
good, result, he exhibits not courage but
a counterfeit of it.
The man who acts courageouSly Is one
who faces dangers and endureS hardShipS
because he rightly values certain things
as more important than others. His cour-
age is not mere brute strength, nor diSdain
for his skin and his comfort. While he
values his life, an unbroken body, and
peace. he places a higher value on other
goods, such as the welfare of his country
or his family his moral integrity, or the
ideals to which he Is devoted.

Strength Is Needed
To Overcome Fear

You are quite right in thinking that
courage should not be confused with reck-
leSSness or foolhardinesS. Nor should 1t
be confused with fearleSSnesS. To be
courageous is to have the strength to over
come fear. A man without fear may appear
to act courageously. But he does not really
have the virtue of courage, There is no
virtue in doing what comes naturally, with
out effort. Courage involves conquering
fear. It involves q respect for hardships
and dangers together with an unflinching
will to endure them for a good cause.
DRINKS who rush thOughtlessly into danger
are not courageous.
Many great thinkers regard the cour-
ageouS man as one who succeeds In avoid
ing the equally wrong extremes Of fool
