MANAGER FENDLAY
WILL REMAIN HERE
E. Rosenfeld & Co.'S, Manager De-
cides To Remain AT Head OF
Their Pocomoke Plant.

Our town was much concerned last
week over the fact that Mr.. ]. NJ.
Fendlay, manager of the plant of E.
Rosenfeld & Co., at this place, had
rendered his resignation and with his
family would shortly move to Roa-
roke, Va, to take charge of large
plant at that place. The announce
nent of his resignation also carried
with it the report that the plant AZ
this place would be shut down. We
arc glad to know that Mr.. rendlay
has reconsidered his plans and has
signed UP with the Rosenfcld Com
fany for another term and that the
ant will not be closed as was last
week reported.
Mr.. Fcndlay came to our town
about two years ago as the head of
the sewing room here. His work
along all lines has been of the highest
order and whilehe has not made the
rapid strides that he hoped for, still
the plant has been successfully run
under his guidance. AS a citizen and
Il business man he has gained the
confidence of cur people generally
and the esteem in which he is held
vas evidenced by the fact that all of
cur people were grieved at the an
rouncement that he contemplated re-
rowing to another field. All Of us
feel that we cannot afford to lose such
citizens as Mr.. FendIay and his good
family.
Our people will not only be glad to
know that Mr. Fendlay has decided
to remain in our midst, but they will
also be glad to learn that the plant
of which he is the head, is doing
an excellent business and that the
business is increasing with each and
every week. In fact we are told that
they now have more work than at
any time since they first began oper
ations here. This means that the
PANT is valuable adjunct to the
business interests of our town. The
cnly deficiency is the lack of oper-
ators. As We have SAID before we
hope the time will soon come when
every machine will be running on full
time for every work day in the year.
1t can be done if all will give the
proper assistance.

FINE MOVIE PROGRAM
FOR COMING WEEK
William S. Hart, Wallace Reid And
Other Film Stars Coming
In Screen Drama.

William S. Hart. the celebrated
star, who depicts Western life in its
true style, comes to the Empire Thea
ire on Monday night in the much talk
ed-of screen play, "The Toll Gate"
What promises to be the feature
attraction of the week will be shown
OH Tuesday when Cecil B. DeMile's
latest Paramount production, "Why
Change Your Wife" comes to the
Empire. 1t is described as striking
drama of married life lavishly pre-
serted. Gloria Swanson and Thomas
Meighan are the featured player
ably supported by Bebe Daniels
Theodore Kosloff, and other well
known screen stars.
Eileen Percy, the beautiful and tai
cnted Fox star will be seen on We'd
nesday in the thrilling and amusing
comedy drama, "Hickville to Broad
way"
In what is described as the most
dramatic role of her career, May AL
lison, the beautiful young Metro star,
will be seen at the Empire on Thurs
day, in her latest picture, "The Mar
riage of VIM. Ashe." the picturiza-
ton of Mrs. Humphrey Wards celc-
brated novel. This should surely con-
stitute treat for film fans if all re-
ports on the picture are correct.
Wallace Reid in a new screen COM
e6y, "The Dancing Fool" will be the
attraction for Friday. The photoplay
s said to. present the star in role
that is unusual and that ideally suits

made famous "The Hayseed."

BRIDGE APPROACHES
NOW BEING BUILT
Contractor ]. X. Wetter Now Lay
ing Concrete On Somerset Side
Of New Bridge.

The work of putting down the
concrete on the Somerset side of the
rev Pocomoke River bridge was COM
menced the early part of the week
and the contractor, Mr.. j. X. Wetter
is driving ahead on it as speedily as
possible under the conditions The
work of building was begun at the
CID Hayward mill pond bridge and
they are striking straight line thru
the Young farm to the new bridge.
There are two lateral roads leading
into the main thoroughfare = one
which connects with the old Hayward
Road and another which connects with
what is known as the River Road.
These are both excellent dirt roads,
recently constructed and they will
prove a great convenience to the peo-
Lle of their sections.
The State Read Commission may
lnow their business and it may not
be up to a layman to criticise their
wl;k. There are many people, how
ever, who hold to the opinion that the
beauty of this new thoroughfare has
heen spoiled because of the grading
that has been done through the
swamp. 1t is generally agreed that
had the grade been on the level, in
stead of taking a dip after leaving
the bridge abutment, the beauty Of
the road would have been greatly in
erased. The scenes around the sec
tion referred to are of unusual beauty
and it does seem a shame that the
surroundings should be spoiled in this
manner and an eye sore constructed
in what otherwise would have been
one of the prettiest sections in the
entire State Highways system. The
bridge is one of the finest in the
State and both approaches should be
OF uniform beauty. Our people are
still hoping that this obstacle will be
removed, for it can be removed, it
seems, at a very little expense if
taken in time.
While this work is being done a
drtour has to be made in getting in
and out of town and because Of this
fact it is hoped that the work will be
completed as soon as possible so as to
rot interfere with business for too
long period.
