President Hooper reluctant
~ accepted the nomination to
continue for another year; he
pointed out that no organiza-
ton, especially Rotary, should
be built around any one IN
dividua1. Thus it was decided
to have two vice presidents
instead Of one. He has started
the practice of letting the vice
presidents occupy the chair as
often as possible. Jim Isher-
wood presided on Thursday
and did a splendid job. Bob
Mobiles will preside on Thurs
day next.

1859 Lions Club
Christmas Dance
Was Big Success

The 1859 Lions Club dance is now
just a memory, but one that will
long live in the minds of those who
were fortunate enough to attend it..
Held Monday, December 2S, at
the Milford Armory, the fete was
a gala elimination to Christmas
festivities. The success of the
dance was assured from the very
outset, when ample tickets were
sold as early as December %.
Leroy Rust, the general chair
man, assisted by a corp of dedi-
Gated aides, saw to it that moth
ing was left undone to insure the
utmost in pleasure for every par
ticipant.
Jimmy Hammond and his deco
rating committee did marvellous
job and of course the early ticket
sellout speaks volumes for Lin
Donohoe's ticket committee.
Jack Daugherty's orchestra from
Wilmington gave with the music
both sweet and hot" Daugherty
has for long time been favorite
with lower Delaware dance
groups.
The refreshments created by Hen
ry Hill, Jr., of Lewes, were de-
light and did away with the ne
cessity of so many "home buffets"
during intermissiOns. In fact the
presence of the catered refresh
ments did away with the intermis-
sion and all present danced milady
until 1 a. m. the morning of the
29th.

out to speak about this being
leap year and how gray-haired
ladies having February 29 as
their sixteenth birthday and
1t being bonus day for them.
Whatever the new years means
to you there is always the
hope that it will be filled with
health and happiness. To
some that is not enough for the
word prosperity" must be in
the hope as well. But who can
have real prosperity without
health and happiness? And
those qualities become more
important with the. adding of
each leap year and even each
year. The 10Th of next month
will be of real Importance to
those whose birthday it is and
good wishes for it go along
with the ones for this year of
1860.

and you enjoyed visiting with her
in her home.
A group of friends called to see
you one night while you were
home. How all of you did talk!
You talked over all the years since
you were children there at home.
Talking with childhood friends
made you rejoice that all was as
well with you as it was.
If you had thought you had prob
lens, listening to some of theirs
made your problems seem like
nothing and you felt happy just
to be home" and able to get about
with your friends of long ago.
There was the Annual" parade
in the square. AS you walked
around the square you thought Of
the days when that square seemed
like the incest place in the world
The Thursday night band concerts
were in the square and that is
where everybody gathered to see
their friends and neighbors. You
walked around and around the
square dozens of times while the
band played in the bandstand and
you bought and ate peanuts, pop
corn and drank bottles of soda
water. Soon your bunch" got to-
gether and you found seats and
listened to the band. You thought
that was the best band in the
world. You didn't realize it then
but that was the ONLY band you
had ever heard! Today, you learned
it WAS one Of the best bands in
the U.S.A.
Isn't it wonderful how little it
takes to make most young people
happy? You looked forward to
those band concerts as though it
was to be a trip to listen to a
great world wide known band. You
have never enjoyed any band any
more than you did that one.
Tonight, as you walked around
the square once you did not see
anyone you knew. The old timers
do not get to the concerts any
more and the youngsters have
many other places to go but the
concerts are still being given and
some people still enjoy them. They
are the people who have not had
the opportunity to attend free con-
certs in their hometowns.
When you get ready to leave the
old hometown you say goodbye
and promise to return next year.
You leave behind your many plea
SAINT memories of many different
kinds. Some very happy and some
not so happy, but you feel you have
been home" once again and that
makes you think only pleasant
thoughts as you leave.

The notices read: Admission is
free, and proceeds will be donated
