Goldsboroueh Aiding
In National Problems

On page eight Of this issue will be
found letters received by the Hon. T.
Alan Goldsborough, member Of Con
gress from this district and candidate
for reelection, from the Hon. D. R.
Crissinger, Governor Of the Federal
Reserve Board, Washington, D. c.,
and Hon. George R. James, member
of the Federal Reserve Board. The
Federal Reserve Board is the body
having general control of the Federal
Reserve Banks which rediscount the
notes of the National Banks and the
State Banks which are members of
the Federal Reserve system. Upon
the policy of the Federal Reserve
Board depends very largely the pre-
vention Of periods Of defation and col
lapse, such as the country has just
passed through, particularly farming
and rural communities.
These letters from Mr.. Crissinger
and Mr.. James show that Mr.. Colds
borough is endeavoring to aid in the
solution of problem which is vital to
all the people and further show that
he has already been of real assistance
in the solution of this difficult and
perplexing question.

Change Made In County
School Teaching Force

A change has been made in the
county teaching force which has in
volved Berlin and Pocomoke High
Schools. Miss Wilson has been trans
ferred to Berlin to teach History and
Miss Spence has been assigned to
classes in French and History at Po-
comoke.
It was with many regrets that Po-
comoke lost the services of Miss Will
son, who has taught in the local High
school for the last three years. He1
popularity was shown by the flowers
and presents which were showered
upon her the morning of her last day
in Pocomoke High school as a teacher,
The greetings of the girls upon their
visit to Berlin to play field ball were
symbolic of the many friends she
left in Pocomoke City.
Although this is Miss Spence's first
year teaching, she has assumed her
duties in Pocomoke with an earnest
ness and willingness that is bound to
win a place in the hearts of the H. S.
students as we'll as in the people of
the town. Her personality and ability
have already made place for her in
the ranks of the other members of
the faculty.

GLEN HASTINGS KILLED
NFALL FROM AEROPLANE
Former Pocomoke Boy Was Doing
Stunts On Rope Attached To
Plane Last Friday.

Glenmore Hastings, we'll known in
Pocomoke City, met with a tragic
death near Salisbury on Friday Of
last week, by falling from an airplane
while he was performing stunts on a
trapeze, swung from the wings of the
flying machine.
Felix Rigau, pilot of the machine
who was exonorated from all blame
in the matter, testified that he attri-
buted the cause of Hastings fall to
utter exhaustion and the belief that a
safety belt which he had been warned
not to use had been broken.
Although he had warned his pas
senger against attempting the stunts,
Rigau said Hastings persistence had
caused HIM finally to agree to pilot
the plane on an exhibition flight over
Salisbury. Performing of these
stunts Hastings thought would better
qualify him to gain admittance to the
Aviation Corps to which he had al
ready filed application.
In performing the stunts, Rigau
said he told Hastings to hold each po-
sition for the duration of only a half
minute. Disregarding the instruct OH
the pilot said the passenger hung head
downward on the trapeze for exactly
seven minutes.
After circling over Salisbury, the
plane was about to effect landing
when Rigau said he looked down
ward and saw Hastings clinging with
one hand, suddenly his body jerked,
the arm Strengthened and grip upon
the cross-bar Of the trapeze relaxed
sending the performer hurling thru
the air. The jerk of the body was
caused by the breaking of the safety
belt, the pilot believed.
Death was instantaneous, accord
ing to Dr. Hunter R. Mann, who said
the right thigh was dislocated, the
left arm and nearly all the ribs were
broken and the body crushed inter-
nally.
Rigau brought the plane safely to
landing, but tainted when he was
told in answer to query that the
fall had been fatal. He showed signs
of nervousness on the stand.

P. Fl. S. hooters Defeat
Berlin At Soccer, I To o

The final s. ore at Berlin when Po-
comoke High School played Berlin
was 10, favor of Pocomoke. A strong
wind favored the west goal, but it
seemed to make little difference to
either teams. 1t was in the first part
CT the first half that Baker with a
clear field drove the ball through the
goal for the only point in the game.
The clever fast work of Outten on
several occasions prevented Berlin
from scoring.
The weather conditions were just
right for fast game. Berlin was out
ir. force to back up her team with
yells and songs and all through the
game noise could be heard on that
side of the field.
In the last part of the second half
Sturg's replaced Keim who was kick
cd on the ankle and could not con-
ti,.ue in the game.

CITIZENS MET
TO DISCUSS The
bonn ISSUE
Publicity Committee Appointed.
Meetings Throughom Tie
County Arrange.
SENTIMENT BEHIND
FAVORABLE ACTION

A fairly well attended citizens'
meeting was held in the auditofiuln of
the City Hall on Monday last the
meeting being under the auspices of
the q Parent-Teacher Association of
this city.
The special object of the occasion
was discussion of the School Bond
Issue which is to be voted on at the
coming election in November.
Inasmuch as those present seemed
to be unanimously in favor of better
schools, there was no opportunity for
debate. The task then consisted Ia
mere statements of the need for inn
proved material conditions; explana-
tions of the provisions in the bond; !
presentation of tax statistics showing
cost to the taxpayers; and finally,
some suggestions as to how the voting
population should be approached be-
for Election day should arrive.
Upon motion, F. L. Bonneville, c..
P. Mason, and E. ]. Clarke were APP
pointed as a publicity committee to
carry this matter to the people in the
way thought best, in Coston's district.
1t is probable, therefore, that meet
ings will be held at Pitts Creek, Good
will and other places, and a house to
house canvass will be made in POGO
moke City.
|FsAt the meeting on Monday evening
citizens from Snow Hill and Stockton
were present; DR.. Riley and Professor
Humphreys of the County Board of
Education among the number; and
Edward Taylor and William E. Tull
from Stockton.
Interesting data were furnished by
County Treasurer Henry B. Pilchard
and Prof. Humphreys, and every eff
fort will be made to present these to
the voters.
Reports from those present seemed
to indicate a wide spread interest in
the school matter, and at this stage
indications are favorable to the pas
sage OF the issue. The friends of it
should allow no opportunity to pass
to gan others; and with the wealth
of influence back of it, there is no rea-
son why Worcester county children
should not in the near future, be bet
ter housed while pursuing their high
school courses.
Meetings have already been held at
Corbin's; Parkertown, and Merrill's
school house, Pitts Creek. Those to
be held throughout the county are as
follows: Bishopville, Ringler's Thea
ter, Monday October 27; Whaleyville,
schoolhouse, Wednesday, October 20;
Berlin schoolhouse, Friday October
81; Stockton schoolhouse, Thursday,
October 80; Snow Hill Opera house,
Friday October 81; Pocomoke City,
City Hall, Saturday November 1st;
Goodwill's schoolhouse, Wednesday,
October 20; and Lou Redden's store
at Beaver Dam, Thursday October 80.
Meetings will also be arranged at
Showell's on Tuesday, October %:
and at Williams school house on Fri
day October 81. The hour for all these
meetings will be at s P. M.

POCOMOKE'S WHITE WAY
WILL SOON BE REALITY
Telephone And Electric Wires Re-
moved.-Lights Will Be Turned
On Today.

The burnt section on Market street,
between Second and Front, is now
clear Of poles and wires. Phones and
light will be supplied by different
ways and plans, and the White Way
will soon be opened.
The improvement is marked and has
met with favorable comment on all
sides. The increased width; the curb
lights; the absence Of Instructions in
the way of poles and wires; and the
river bridge with it's lighting system
connecting up with the Market street
lamps,-all make an approach which
is hard to beat.
There are those among the towns
enterprising citizens who think the
opening of the White Way should be
specially celebrated; and it is rumor-
ed preparations are in progress for a
community street dance. Those in
charge have mentioned Thursday of
next week as the time for the big
event, and it promises to furnish an
evening of real enjoyment.
A band will be in attendance; the
street will be put into condition for
dancing; and no interference will be
allowed to mar the easy movement of
the dancers.
A good speaker will be on hand for
the occasion, the lights will, it is un-
derstood, not be turned on till that
night. An immense crowd will be in
attendance.

HIGH SCHOOL BOYS TAKE
UP CARE OF SWINE
viii Work Only With Pedigreed
Stock.-Eleven Students
Enroll In Course

Since it is a requirement of the
course that each boy enrolled in the
class shall take some project which
will require work at home, most of
the eleven boys have decided to take
up the care of swine. 1t has been the
general desire of the class to take a
SOW which will be due to farrow pigs
in the early spring. These pigs to be
pedigreed stock of such kind as to be
saleable as foundation stock for a
breeder. 1t is expected in this man.
ner to get greater money return as
we'll as to give the boys wider ex-
perience and more varied problems in
animal husbandry and business.
Unfortunately very little purebred
stock of the kind desired is available
in the vicinity of Pocomoke so far as
is known to the writer. Inquiry has
been made of Mr.. Oswald, County a.
gent, for a possible source of these
animals; however, it will be favor
if any one reading this will let the ag-
riculture department of the High
school know where pure-bred female
stock of the kind desired can be
bought.
1t is more desirable if the project
animals can be procured right at
home rather than going distance for
them.
