From Mr.. MELONS point of view. the
heart Of the situation lies In the fact
that the government already has among

The Forest Presbyterian Church
stands for civic righteousness and is
now making determined effort to keep
our town free from gambling projects
of all kinds. The gooi citizens of our
town must see to it that the law of our
state is not treated as an empty formal
ity. We can permit neither citizen nor
organization to openly and flagranty
violate the law Now is the time to
test whether Carnival gambling and the
promoters of such are to be exempt
from the operation of law. If you are
a good citizen you will take your place
on the side of estab ishel law The

apology to anyone for his words or

gambling situation. He believes that a
legitimate enterprise can he financed

Ten out of the 20 fire companies in

year, and shall Niddletown be denied

Newark has heen holding such carni-
walls for the past ten years, and has
thus raised money enough to buy a
costly, powerful pumping fire engine.
ETC., the only kind that will save any
town from rulnou5 fire.
If the wind had been blowing on the
night of the Opera House fire as it
town, perhaps one-half of it, including
the Presbyterian Church and Manse,
would have been burned.
This exceptionally quiet night was q
piece of good luck for Middletcwn, and
can not be expected always The next
time our towns fate may be that OF
Millington 1.-TWO times) and Pocomoke
City.
Let's go enthusiastically ahead with
our Carnival and raise the funds to buy
frst-class pumping engine to enable
our devoted firemen to fight this awfu
fire devil with success.
At regular meeting of the Towr
Board on Wednesday evening last, {
unanimous resolution was passed tt
permit the Volunteer Hose Company ot
our town to hold a Carnival from June
Oath to July 1st. We have guaranteed
that the funds thus raist will be de
voted to the sole purpose of purchasing
fire engine, and believe that 80 pei
cent. of the people of this community
approve of its holding this Carnival.
Now all hands join to make this fire
engine Carnival the biggest success o
them all. N. w. KUMPEL,
