More than $4,000 Odd Fellows and
their families, representing five
States, took part in the reunion ex-
ercises of the order yesterday at Pen
Mar. There were 10 SPECIAL trains
that carried members from their re-
spective States. Those represented
were Maryland, Virginia, West Vir-
ginia, Washington and Pennsylva-
MA. 1t was the seventh reunion in
which all of the above mentioned
States took part.
large number of out of town
people were in Cambridge today to
witness the game of baseball between
the Baltimore Orioles, Jack Dunn's
international League team, and the
Cambridge team. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the threatening weather
kept a great many from coming, as
reports had been received that nu-
merous parties from st. Michaels,
EaSton, Salisbury and Seaford had
made arrangements to attend the
game.
A great many of the gas and cleo
trio bills that have been received dur
ing the last few days are said to be
incorrect. Last month almost every
bill that was sent out by the Com
pany was found to be wrong, and the
local officials were overwhelmed with
inquiries and protests. The trouble,
so far as we have been able to learn,
was due to the failure of the officials
at the Salisbury office, which is the
main office for the Eastern Shore, in
transferring the accounts to a new
ledger, to carry forward the credits.
We believe the public would be much
} better satisfied TO have the accounts
for the local service kept here, where
they would be accessible at all times,
so that any misunderstanding about
, bills could be Strengthened up at
once, instead of requiring correspon
dence and delays.
