Our state towns, fol
"Sane Fourth,
lowing the sensible practice of an in
creasing number of towns and cities in
, many states, are doing this, and Mid

Why should we on this hot July day,
explod fireworks to the discomfort of
the sick and aged? Why? Because
we had noble forefathers who on that
day did a great and brave deed.

Many towns in Sussex County willl
have Fourth of July celebrations, but I
the one mqst talked of now is the one
to be pulled off at Rehoboth Beach,
this year. For several years Rehoboth I
has celebrated the glorious Fourth in I
a small way, getting the people there I
_ j .. : . . I
and then giving them nothing to look at
after they arrive. But for the past two I
years that little city by the sea has I
more than fulfilled its promises to the
_- r . . . I
people; this year they are going to try
and outdo themselves, and judging from I
the program which will follow, we be-1
lieve they will succeed. G. A. Ewing,

in conjunction with the Village Improve-1 f
ment Association, which is composed I
of the ladies of the town, and the citi-1
zens in general, have mapped out a I a

program that will make visitors sit up
and take notice. Immediately on the ar-1
rival of the noon train the ball will I
start rolling. A parade will take place I
on the the „.in,

cell all.past parades; then an areoplane J
flight will attract the visitors. After ] or
dinner, motorcycle racing, horse racing I
and baseball will entertain the people!

from Delaware, Maryland and Virginia I

some fine racing is promised. During I of

The first switchboards were crude indeed, but
those of to-day are^the most intricate, ingenious
and fascinating things ever created by man.
They are a vast monument to the brainy telephone
engineers and experts who worked out the
many problems of linking together first a few
telephones, then a few thousands and to-day
over 8,000,000, so that any two telephones
can be joined together.
