Big Christmas At
Delaware Colony
(conticued iron, first pace)
On Christmas morning Santa
Clays visited ail departments, and
the Christmas boxes were distribu
ted after breakfast There
boxes for all, the very young, as
well as the older ones. Their hap
piness was evident in different
ways when they saw their presents.
Some gave evidence by shouts of
Joy, some by showing others what
they had received, some by quietly
smiling and some by just standing
and looking at their new posses
gions with a pleased expression. All
had been looking forward to the
occasion with eager anticipation,
a»id no, one was disappointed.
Dinner menu on Christmas Day
consisted of turkey (635 pounds),
stuffing, giblet gravy, candied
sweet potatoes, stringless beans,
cranberry sane;', celery, bread and
butter, mince pie, milk and ice
cream later.
Saturday afternoon a special mo
vie was sho^n, and on Sunday af
ternoon a religious film was part
of the regular services. Tuesday
and Wednesday movies were again
shown and on Saturday an enter
tainment by a group of profession
als will be preseented in the audl
torium. Another treat is provided
for this evasion.
All of the things for the Christ
mas season, except the dinner, is
provided by donations. Through the
efforts of Mrs. John B. Hutton,
Honorary Chairman of the Board
of Lady Visitors, Dover, Wilmlng
ton, Smyrna, Milford, Seaford,
Georgetown, Millsboro and other
town Clubs, Church Groups, Gran
ges, Veterans Organizations, Lodges
and individuals provide enough
Christmas boxes for every indiv
idual child. Millsboro Lions Club
donated 250 pounds of candy. The
members of Georgetown-Millsboro
Rotary Club, instead of exchanging
cards, gave the money ($74.00) to
a fund for the Colony Christmas.
Cash donations to the Christmas
fund, in addition to the boxes, were
$328.2,5.
The Commission and The Supers
intendent, Howard T. Ennis, desire
to express their thanks to all who
contributed and participated in
planning and providing generously
for all of the children in the Insti
tution. Christmas week is the high

THE BEST OP LIFE by Willis
Thornton, editor. Houghton Mifflin
Co., Boston. $3. A balanced selec
tion of quotes setting forth the
the worth of life. The coming of
old age Is faced courageously and
triumphantly. The title is suggest
ed by a vers« from Browning. The
ibook has four divisions: The Vast,
Unbounded Prospect, The Summit;,
Lusty Winter, and The Valley of
the Shadow. Familiar names of to
day and the yesterdays in litera
ture are here with their expres
sions of faith. There* are flashes of
light from the Bible. "Man, aging,
lives two lives his present, height
ened and deepened by the sense of
its passing and his past, mellow
ed in the glow of memory."
PIRST THE BLADE by Drayton
Mayrant. Appleton Century Croft.
New York. $3. A religious novel
character. Miss Mayrant is a wide
ly read writer, and this work ful
fills a literary ambition. It should
rank high among beat selling titles,
The setting is against the back
ground of decadent Rome, and thé
spirited story is that of Procla who
defends the life of Jesus. Early
Christianity lives again In the
conquerable faith of Christians
tracked down by legions, and men
see already the doomed way of an
empire. A delicately handled
mance finds happy conclusion In
the book. If you like religious fic
tion, put this book on your shelf
