At the conference of the State Of
Delaware and the eastern shores Of
Maryland and Virginia, said confer
ence held for the purpose of discus
sing ways and means for developing
the Del-Mar-Va peninsula, Fred p.
Adkins, chairman, delivered the fol-
lowing excellent opening speech:
Gentlemen of the Eastern Shore
Peninsula Conference, you have by
your presence here today brought a
new name into being. 1t remains for
as to determine whether in the future
this name shall be associated with
worth while endeavor.
We come as citizens of three inn
perial commonwealths; but I take it
that, at least in one respect, We rep
resent single state,-a state of mind
that wills larger and richer future
"a broader and more genuinely help
full service to the people and business
interests of the fourteen counties of
Delaware, Maryland and Virginia
which are nationally known as the
Eastern Shore.
These fourteen counties, whatever
their state allegiances may be, have
been designed by nature as an eco
nomic unit. No political considera-
tions can wipe out that fact. Nor
could anyone here to day forget that
historically we are also linked togeth-
er in a peculiar way by our own pc
culiar and world respected traditions
of love Of home and hospitality for
the stranger. No one section of the
Easy fern Shore can be happy or suffer
without all other sections being happy
or suffering with it. What is equally
important is that no single commu--
nifty on the Eastern Shore can per-
manently prosper without sharing
that prosperity with every other COM
munity on the Shore. We rise or fall
together, however much we may some

ed to be the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore Association. Other matters
treated were, membership, organiza-
ton, budget, basis of financial report,
and purposes of the Association.
Senator Orlando Harrison was made
chairman of finance committee with
power to name chairmen of local COM
mittees in the counties, and these
chairmen to select their own commit
tee men.
The final effort of the conference
was to solicit subscriptions to finance
the development project, and these
to be on the basis of maximum of
100000. About one-fourth of this
amount was raised.
The meeting adjourend amid much
enthusiasm and no oneathere had any
other opinion but that@the Sho' had
wonderful future, and everybody
was ready to contribute his share to-
ward the naturalization of that fu-
ture.
Worcester was well represented
having the largest number Of any
section except Wicomico. There were
twenty-six and they were as follows:
F. Lee Bonneville, Pocomoke; J. o.
Byrd, Snow Hill; Colmore E. Byrd,
Pocomoke; Edward J. Clarke, POGO
moke; w. d. Corddry, w. M. Cord
dry, Snow Hill; Horace Davis, Berlin;
l.. Paul Ewell, Pocomoke; D. Frank
Fooks, Snow Hill; Orlando Harrison,
G. Hale Harrison, Berlin; Marion T.
Hargis, E. I. Oswald, VIM. H. Price,
Snow Hill; w. B. Powell, c. w. Pur-
nell, Ocean City; VIM. G. Powell,

moke; Franklin Upshur, Berlin; E.
w. Ross, DR.. Albert A. Parker, Po-
comoke; d. w. Babcock, Henry Pur-
nell, Berlin; John w. Station, Snow
Hill.
It behooves Pocomoke City now to
get busy locally and see to it that, if
the good things expected come to
pass, she will share in them. Some
local organization is necessary to look
after the business interests, and it is
likely one will be effected in the near
future. Every man connected with
Pocomoke's activity, NO matter in
what direction, should S the devel-
opment project deep tht Nt and be
prepared to fall in when Aaparch is
taken up. Everybody shoul aside
personal differences and con CO.
operation alone. Those who Nm-
petent to Judge see great thin. n
head. Pocomoke should be prepa
to demand a portion, and let evel.
body study how to get them.

GEO. |. SEVILLE, FORMER
RESIDENT, BURIED HERE
Dies AT Home In Philadelphia After
Long Illness. In This
City About 20 Years

George l.. Seville, formerly of this
city, but at the time of his death liv-
ing in Philadelphia, died on Thurs
day December "a, aged 62 years, his
death being due to cancerous growth.
Mr.. Seville was born in Danville,
Pa, and located in Pocomoke City a.
bout 40 years ago, engaging in the
marble business, and being associat.
ed at one time with J. Henry Young.
Mr.. Seville's first wife was Miss
Sallie Stevenson, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jacob Stevenson, this city, and
from this union there are six surviv-
ing children: Susan, Louise, George,
Bertie, Leita, and Catherine, the sec
ond and last named being, respective
ly, Mrs. John T. Smullin and Mrs.
Clarence Dryden, this city. Mrs. Sc
vile died about 22 years ago.
His second wife was Miss Kate
Dennis, of Newark, Md, who sur
wives him along with four children:
Clayton, Bowen, Beulah, and John.
Besides the widow and children nanl-
ed, the deceased is survived by four
brothers - Charles and Edward, Of
Trenton, N. j., and William and John,
of Philadelphia, and a sister, Mrs.
John Harris, Of Seaford, Del.
Funeral services were held in POGO
moke and interment was made in the
M, P. cemetery, the local lodge Of
Masons performing the last sad rites.
Mr.. Seville was we'll remembered
here and his death was much regret
ted by large circle of friends. While
a citizen Of Pocomoke he interested
himself in all public welfare projects;
was specially musical in his tenden-
cies, and was always of much help "a
long this line. He was well thought
Of and valuable member of this
community while he lived here

A. G. LANDING DIES
SUDDENLY WEDNESDAY
Well Known Citizen, Stricken By
Heart Attack, Dies In Few
Minutes Funeral Sunday

Arlington G. Landing, son of Mrs
Elizabeth Landing and the late George
Landing, both of this city, died sud-
denly at his home on Second street on
Wednesday last, aged 81 years, his
death being due to heart failure in
duced by an attack of acute indiges-
tion.
Funeral services will be conducted
tomorrow, Sunday, from the Metho-
dist Protestant Church, at 2 o'clock p.
NJ, interment being made in the ceme-
terry of that church, Rev. E. L. Bunce,
officiating.
The deceased is survived by Wild
ow, who before her marriage, was
Miss Bessie Tyson, Jersey City, N. j.;
also by his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth
Landing, of Pocomoke, a brother,
Sherwood Landing, and a sister, Mrs.
Mary Gullette, Of Salisbury.
Mr.. Landing spent his whole life in
Pocomoke City, and was really one of
its striking characters. His death
came as shock to the community,
and it was universally regretted. He
was Industrious, thrifty, full of life
and vigor, and possessed of keen
sense of humor inherited from faith
er whom many can recall as one Of
jovial spirits Of the town. Arlie, as
everyone knew him, conducted a
thriving business in the sewing ma
chine line. His work carried him into
many homes, and his visits were al
ways characterized by hearty good
cheer, and a real interest in his GUS
toners welfare. He formed many
friendships, was always ready with a
hearty greeting, which, though it may
have sounded at times gruff and for
bidding, yet, to those who really knew
him.. it. was but a covering fora. kind-
ly heart beneath.
He will be missed from this COM
munity, and there will be many who
will feel sense of personal loss. The
sympathy of many friends go out to
his widow, his mother, and his other
relatives.

POCOMOKE CITIZENS HAVE
PART IN FORMING DEL-MAR-VA
EASTERN SHORE ASSOCIATION
FIREMEN HOLD ANNUAL
BANQUET THURSDAY
Fire Laddies Have Evening All
Their Own. - Event Staged At
Parker House

The Third Annual Banquet of the
Pocomoke City Fire Department was
held at the Parker House last Thurs
day evening at 8 o'clock, and most
enjoyable occasion was experienced.
The proprietor of the hotel, ]. Paul
Young, was specially successful in his
preparation of the repast, and his SER
vice of turkey, ham, oysters, with all
sorts of vegetables, topped with mince
pie la mode, and settled with de-
licious cup of coffee and comforting
smoke, was all that could be imagined
or desired.
The guests of the occasion were the
members of the City Council-Mayor
Hall, and Councilmen Robertson,
Dryden, and Evans-Dr. A. A. Parker,
and Edward J. Clarke, the last named
acting as toast master of the feast.
Speeches were, made by all the
members of the Council, by James
Dryden, w. A. Bowland, and Allen
Schoolfield.
The banquet adjourned 1880 p.
NJ, after singing of one verse of
America by those present.
These annual gatherings are a
source of much delight and are real
seasons Of good fellowship. There are
no people in Pocomoke who deserve a
feast more than the volunteer firemen
and no one would complain did they
come more frequently. The boys
who fight our fires are worthy of all
that comes their way in line of en-
tertainment, and all encouragement
should be given them.

On The Peninsdla
TWO FLOORS FILLED WITH
LATEST MERCHANDISE

II. w. Callahan & Sons moved this
week into their handbome new store,
just completed ON the lot next to the
building they have vacated, belonging
to Mrs. E. w. Veasey.
The Callahan store is q model one
in every particular. 1T covers the en-
tire space of the tws rooms occupied
by Miss r. B. Wilsoh as Millinery
establihment, and bysthe Postal Tele-
graph Company before the big fire of
1922. y
This gives spacious width of
nearly 35 feet, and 4 depth of 60 or
70. 1t is two story, brick, and of the
newest design. The entrance is flank
ed by two large show windows, be-
tween which is smaller one, and be-
hind this are the tyso doors furnish
ing entrance way. The second story
front displays the rich coloring of a
fine quality of brick and also solid
line of windows extending across the
entire width of the front, affording
adequate light for the second floor
stock. gsN
The interior is sAnished in white
coating for the side walls, metal cell
ing tastefully decorated, and hard
wood floors. Cut off from the rear
is space for roomy office, two rest
rooms, and receiving and packing
department. These extend upwards
only to about two-thirds the height of
the main ceiling.
A wide and easy stepping stairway
leads to a large platform covering the
space above the rear rooms men,

short stairway leads to the second
floor, which is finished in all respects
as the lower one.
On the first floor fixtures suitable

am not sounding a note in deroga-
ton of local enterprise. Far from it.
The foundation of general well-being
is and always will be community en-
terprise, just as the main spring Of
progress within the community itself
is individual leadership. We have
need of communities which are ca
pable Of development and which have
in addition the will to grow. But the
very presence of 1uch units within
any given area inevitably brings de-
velopment problems which can only
be met upon the basis of community
action, broad community counsel, and
general cooperation.
It is, therefore, as big community
council that We are slnet today. We, all
of us want to make the Eastern Shore
a better place in which to live and do
business. We, all of US, want to in
crease its population, develop its lat
est industrial resources, intensity the
yields of its agricultural lands, and
broaden the markets for the entire
range of the commodities which it
produces.
While sucf: q work is certain to
bring inevitable rewards in the terms
of increased individual good fortune,
il is likewise the sort of endeavor
which produces broad public benefits.
For, unless we are mistaken in the
Eastern Shore, in the land in which
many Of us were born and still others
have cast their lot, there are literally
thousands upon thousands of people
in the north and eact and middle
west whose lives could be made easier
their earnings greater, and their fu-
lures more certain if they invested
their labor and capital in some one
of our many communities, in which

there is both a welcome and place OF
security Cor them.
Divorcing our thought for the mo-
ment from our local affairs and cast
ing it in broader mold, I can think
of no greater national service which
we on the Eastern Shore could per-
form than to tell the story of the
Eastern Shore to the people of Ameri-
ca. say this because l believe we
possess in abundant measure the ad-
vantage which literally hundreds Of
thousands of people in America are
now seeking. It is the search for ad-
vantage such as we possess that is
largely responsible for the never end
ing migration Of our American agri-
cultural population. The pendulum in
the agricultural industry is swinging
from the west toward the east.
All of this is by the way of saying
that we are a community which has
not as yet come into it's own. The
advantages which we have to "sell''
seemingly lie upon our shelves, while
purchasers" flock to other commu-
mites which back the less attractive
resources they have to offer by an ag-
gressive, intelligent and persistent
sales policy.
To speak language which / be-
lieve We will all understand, our East
ern Shore problem primarily is one
of merchandising. We have in abun-
dant measure the three things which
have attracted mankind from the days
of the beginning. We have land, cli-
mate, water frontage; and we possess
these three in district which is with
in three hundred miles of twenty mil
lion people. This means that we are
within the very center of an enormous
population which is absolutely de-
pendent upon the commodities we pro-
duce, and within less than days

FIRE DESTROYS TWO HOTELS,
THE PIER, AND SEVERAL OTHER
BUILDINGS AT OCEAN CITY
HEALTH ASSOCIATION
FOR COUNTY URGED
Good Work Done By Miss Wilson
Should Be Continued. Funds
Needed For Project.

1t is of the utmost importance at
the present time that the people of
Worcester county effect an organiza-
tion in order that the nursing service
may be continued: Miss Wilson has
resigned and will leave about the 1st
of January, and the good results of
her work in the county will be lost if
the nursing service is discontinued. It
is the plan to organize a County Pub
lie Health Association with represen-
tatives in each of the districts of the
county, and to raise funds to employ
general public health nurse. A large
part of the money necessary for this
organization has already been raj
but it is necessary that the ped
throughout the county contribute q
small sum towards this fund in order
that the service may be available. The
State Tub rculosis Association, the
State Department of Health, the Wo-
mems Club of Worcester County and
the American Red Cross have already
contributed about three-fourths of
this amount but the sum received
from memberships in the Red Cross
was so small this year that it will be
necessary to obtain some additional
funds in order that the amount neces-
sary may be raised.
5 The. coutagioais disease rate in HWor4
cester county has been greatly reduc-
ed in the last two years by nursing
service. Absence from school due to
sickness was reduced so per cent in
1924 and was also reduced in 1925.
The care and instruction that have
been given mothers and the decrease
in the death rate among babies in the
county has been many times worth
the amount that has been spent on
this service. The service that has
been rendered to school children has
been Of very great value and it is up
to the people of Worcester county to
see that the children continue to have
the benefit of nursing service.
The nurses duties in the county
have been many and varied and her
services have always been available
for every physician in the county as
we'll as for every poor family that was
in need of care or advice. This SER
vice has been countrywide in extent
and there is no part of the county
that has not had it's share Of the bene-
fit from it. At times of threatened
epidemics of contagious diseases it is
impossible to measure the number of
cases or the number of lives that the
nurse has been able to save by the
prompt service which she has given.
The sum that is necessary to raise is
very small when divided among the
people in the county and everyone
should feel it their duty to help in
this good cause.
