Rotary Club Host To
Governor Roy Dantzer

Roy Dantzer, Governor of the 34th
district of Rotary Clubs addressed the
Pocomoke City Rotarians last Monday
evening on the occasion of their regu-
lar weekly dinner, held at the Pres
byterian Church.
The Governors theme was Rotarian
Fellowship and to say his speech was
thoroughly enjoyed is giving it faint
praise. It was a matter of regret that
the local organization could not meet
the guest of the evening with hun
dred per cent attendance; but business
matters compelled several of the Ro-
tarians to be away.
Governor Roy's visit, however, was
an inspiration to all who heard him,
and the spirit manifested revealed
just why Rotarianism lives and grows.

Merrill's School Forms
Parent Teachers Assn.

A meeting of the patrons of Mer-
lill's school was held on Thursday
night, October 16, for the purpose of
forming a Parent Teachers Associa-
ton. After an attractive little pro-
gram had been presented, Miss Mary
Bounds, the teacher of the school,
spoke to the patrons on the purpose
of Parent Teachers Associations and
showed how the school might be
benefited by the organization. The
following officers were elected:
w. c.. Wilson, president.
r.. c. Perdue, president.
Miss Mary Bounds, secretary and
treasurer.
A demonstration lesson in silent
reading was given by Miss Mary B.
Pusey, supervising teacher. Miss
Pusey discussed the Importance of
reading and showed how modern
methods of teaching the subject were
bringing better results in both rate
and understanding.
The organization enrolled about so
members and will meet in future the
first Thursday of each month.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS OF
COUNTY MEET HERE
Hold Annual Convention In Baptist
Church Thursday.-Many
Delegates Present

The Worcester Co. Sunday School
Convention met in the Baptist Church,
this city, last Thursday, delegates
from all over the county being
present.
The feature Of the meeting was the
most interesting and instructive talks
given by the Rev. John Roach STRAIT
on, ID. D., pastor Of Calvert Baptist
Church, New York City.
On Thursday evening the speakers
subject was "Modern Babylon" by
which term he was supposed to desig-
nate New York City. The picture he
drew of the church conditions was
most enlightening and, at the same
time, illustrative of very deplorable
conditions: According to Dir. Straton.
the masses were not attending the
churches, and furnished some con-
vincing statistics, showing the decad-
ence of church audiences.
His explanation seemed to lay the
fault at the door Of the ministers
themselves. He apparently felt that
the old Gospel was not being preach
ed as it should be, and that too many
worldly innovations were creeping in
to church administration.
DIR. Straton's talks were highly en-
joyed and his influence will, no doubt,
rebound to the good of all who heard
him.

LOVE STORY SUPREME IN
"ASHES OF VENGEANCE"
A Glowing Romance Starring Norma
Talmadge AT The Empire
Theatre Next Week

Romance - magnified, glorifed,
and enhancing. The words are those
of the dramatic critic of New York
newspaper in reviewing "Ashes of
Vengeance" Joseph M. Schenck
production starring Norma Talmadge,
which will be presented at the Empire
Theatre next Wednesday and Thurs
day.
The colorful atmosphere of France
of 1872. Interior and exterior scenes
of three different castles. The mas
sive ball room of the Palace of the
Louvres, where, in suffused excite
ment, 1900 ladies and gentlemen of
the Court are dancing the minuet on
the fateful eve of st. Bartholomew.
Sword play ranging from single duels
to the mighty clash of great contend
inf forces. Brilliant cavalcades of
gaily caparisoned horses and attend
ing men-at-arms moving along the
picturesque roads of France-only a
few highlights, these, of the scores Of
features that make "Ashes and Ven
geance" not only the greatest picture
of Norma Talmadge's career, but one
of the most respondent ever produc-
ed. But it is the drama itself, the ro-
nance of Yoeland de BreuX and Ru-
pert de Vrieac, which is the most ap-
pealing feature of the production.
These roles are played respectively by
Norma Talmadge and Conway Tearle.
Twenty screen notables are in the
cast of principals in support of this
twain, including Wallace Berry, jose
phine Crowell, Courtenay Foote, Bet
ty Francisco, Claire Mcdowell, Andre
de Beranger, Murdoch MacQuarrie,
Boyd Irwin, Carmen Phillips, Winter
Hall, William Clifford, Hector V. Sar-
no, Earl Schenck, Jimmy Cooley, Lucy
Beaumont, Forrest Robinson, Mary
McAllister, Kenneth Gibson, Howard
Truesdell, Frank Leigh and little Jean
Carpenter; and 1000 extras are en-
ployed in the mob scenes.
George Melford's production, "You
Can't Fool Your Wife," will be shown
at the Empire on Monday and Tues
day. This is said to be highly en-
tertaining domestic drama of high
life which Leatrce Joy, Lewis Stone
and Nita Naldi play the featured
roles.

NOTED IMPROVEMENT
AT CLOCC'S GARAGE
Filling Station Will Be Installed
Allowing Passage From Front
To Market Streets.

J. Milton Clogg is making some
extensive improvements at his man.
moth garage located in the square
bounded by Front, Market, River and
Willow streets.
Mr.. Clogg will remove his office
from it's present location on that part
of the building fronting Market
street, and will install his clerical
force in rooms cut off from his large
storage department on Front street.
Apparently he has not had enough
room for his accessory needs and for
his clerks, as the space which will be
devoted to these purposes seems to be
much larger than that now in use.
When completed, his new apartments
will be spacious and convenient.
Mr.. Clogg has instituted another
change which will result in san~easy
handling of his gasoline sales, and
thereby be source of great conven-
fence to his patrons.
The small outbuilding attached to
the old hotel building has been re-
moved. There is now a clear passage
from either Market or Front street in
side the angle made by the "L" of the
big garage. Autos can enter a drive
way on Front street and make an exit
on Market street, or vice-versa. In
side this driveway will be gas pumps
which will be able to serve cars going
in either direction, thus obviatng a
jam or delay in service.
This driveway is laid in cement and
connects Market with Front by a
curve wide enough to accommodate
machines headed either way.
1t is reported that Mr.. Clogg will
now deal in the output of only one
gasoline corporation, and that the
pumps formerly in use will be re-
moved.
This new plan of gasoline service
has received most favorable comment
and no doubt will be a boon to the au-
to traffic in this community.

l2O BOYS AND GIRLS
ENTER ESSAY CONTEST
Thirteen Prizes Being Offered By
Worcester County Farm
Bureau.

All in all there are one hundred
and twenty farm boys and girls in
Worcester county writing essays in
the contest being conducted by the
Worcester County Farm Bureau, &C
ccrding to an announcement made by
County Agent Oswald this week.

cester County Farm Bureau. These
prizes are to be awarded promptly af-
ter the essay contest closes Novem-
Der 10, and the best county essay is
To be submitted in the national contest

auspices Of the American Farm Blu
reau Federation through every farm

COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY
URGE SCHOOL BOND issue
Go On Record As Being Solidly
Back Of Proposition To Be
Submitted To Voters

The Worcester County Medical So
ciety met in Snow Hill on Tuesday
last.
Aside from their professional dis
cussions, they went on record as being
solidly back Of the School Bond issue
which is to be voted on at the COM
ing November election. A formal
resolution was introduced and passed
unanimously.
This is most favorable symptom
and shows that there are substantial
men favoring better schoolhouses for
Worcester county. The Democrat has,
both in it's editorial and in it's news
columns, attempted to set forth the
real need of better accommodations
for school pupils. Everybody knows
money is required. Everybody knows
the only way to raise it is by taxation.
Everybody knows that there will al
ways exist the same argument a.
gainst public improvement which is
being urged-the burden of taxation.
But boys and girls are the big asset
of the nation. It is to be hoped that
a broad minded view will be taken of
this question and that the cause of
education in the county will not re-
ceive setback at the Noveber cleo
ton. Let everybody get behind the
move for better school houses, and
so put Worcester upon a plane level
with that of other State counties.

MRS. NELLIE POWELL
DIES in HOSPITAL
Wife Of c. V. Powell, Well Known
In Pocomoke City, Victim
Of Tetanus
Communicated

Mrs. Nellie P. Powell, wife of C.
V. Powell, and daughter of the late
William H. Payne and wife, died of
tetanus at the Peninsula General Hos
pital in Salisbury Thursday afternoon
October 9, 1924, at the age of 38
years.
Mrs. Powell was a woman of rare
charms and pleasing personality. Her
bright, cheerful, disposition and a.
miable qualities endeared her to all
with whom she came in contact. That
she should be called while just at the
meridian of life, is one of the myster-
les of our Creator and her early pass
ing will long be mourned, her men,
DRY ever live in the hearts of those
who knew and loved her best.
She leaves to mourn her death, a
little son five years old; an aged
mother; two brothers, Horace G. and
Elmo E. Payne. Also two sisters,
Mrs. James w. Hancock and Miss An
ma E. Payne.
Funeral services were conducted at
home of her mother, Mrs. William Fl.
Payne, in Snow Hill, Sunday after
noon at $50 o'clock, after which the
body was laid to rest by the side of
her father in the Old School Baptist
cemetery.
The beautiful floral tributes and
large concourse of friends who gath
cred to pay their last sad rites, at
tested the high esteem in which the
deceased was held.
Much sympathy is extended to the
family and friends in their sad be-
reaYement ~

POCOMOKE BOYS ENGAGE
in CATTLE JUDGING
Berlin Boy Scores Highest Honors
With Pocomoke A Close
Runner-p

Nine boys with Mr. Mizell invaded
Berlin's territory Wednesday morning
on cattle judging contest. At Mr..
Holloway's farm about A miles west
of Berlin, three Holstein cows were
the object of the contest. Pocomoke
did not come through possibly with
colors flying as high as the other
three schools, and althopgh she took
fourth place Pocomoke has great
deal of confidence that she knows
something about Judging cattle, and
it is with regret khat no opportunity
is offered to showiher skill.
Cliff Holloway of Berlin stood high
est as an individual scorer and second
tc him Ralph Harris Of Pocomoke was
very close RUINED. Each of the four
schools had entered a team of three
boys. Excepting Princess Anne, the
rest of the classes accompanied the
teams.
Mr.. Holloway has a very good herd
of Holsteins from which three indi-
viduals were selected and given the
names A. B. and G, Score cards were
used and twelve minutes given to
score each COW. The boys are to be
commended on, their general conduct
and attitude of fairness and sports
manship throughout the contest. Some
time was lost by the four judges fail
ing to agree on the placing. Due to
some change in plans disinterested
Judge could not be procured and it fell
to the four agriculture teachers to
act as judges.
This is the first Of a series of con-
tests to be held between the four
schools. On November 3 at g. Az M.
chickens will be the object Of selec-
ton and if nothing enters to change
plans at that time, Pocomoke will a.
gain try her skill.
The cattle judging team from Po-
comoke was Ralph Harris Wilson
Sturgis, Willard Evans.
Merrill Belote reports that he has
finished the floor and sides fhis hog
house which he is building as part of
his project in agriculture for this
school year. Merrill is a Freshman
in the Pocomoke High school and is
taking a brood sow for his project.
He has purchased the sow and is TAX
ing care of her, feeding and housing,
and will have complete charge over a
period of time enough to make his
enterprise profitable. He reports that
she is due to farrow pigs in Deem
Der. New problems will confront this
young farmer at that time and his ag-
ricultural teacher feels confident he
will be able to handle them very cred
itably.

SANITARY CONDITIONS
OF P. H. 5. DISCUSSED
Health, School, And Municipal
Authorities Confer. : Quarantine
Rules To Be Enforced.

Health, school, and municipal au-
thorities conferred this week relative
to sanitary conditions at the public
school in this city.
Some little anxiety had been ex-
pressed as to the spread of contagious
diseases in this vicinity; but the re-
suit of the confidence above referred
to showed that the situation was we'll
in hand. Investigation proved that
suspected cases were mostly from the
country, and only very few of those.
The principal Of the school was in
structed to take special caution in the
enforcement of quarantine rules, and
it is not expected that any serious
outbreak will occur.
Cooperation between the State,
County, and Municipality is relied up
on to keep the children safe.
Here, again, is another argument
for better houses. 1t is next to an
impossibility, to maintain safe sani-
tary conditions in many of the school
buildings in the county. They are so
out of date, inadequate to require
ments, and so ill adapted in their con-
struction to school needs, as not only
to retard proper educational progress
but to endanger health as we'll.
Citizens of Worcester should take
into consideration their children's
health when considering how to cast
a ballot this fall, and decide to give
the boys and girls the best facilities
in roach
