ers of Dorchester, Somerset, Wor-
cester, Wicomico and Sussex, he is
understood to have stated that no
outside interests would be presented
in the Bankers Meeting, and that
there would be no canned" resOlu-
tions or anything of that sort. Per-
sonally he has been for sometime
on record as believing it would be
most unwise from a banking view
point to dismantle the Del-Mar-Va
Association, but from some of those
who have received his letter it is
learned that he intends to hold a
"brass tacks" conference in which
the views Of every one present, re-
gardless of their position in refer
,ence to the Association, may go on
record.
Mr.. W. S. Gordy, Jr., Chairman
of the Committee in charge of the
Bankers Conference, stated that
his letters had only gone out last
Friday and Saturday, therefore, he
had not any idea as to how many
bankers would be present. He said,
81 look for a representative attend
ance, because, while I assume that
not all bankers on the Peninsula are
thinking alike in reference to the
Association any more than a major
ity of them are interested in the
question which will come before us
next Monday night"
"As far as I know both the Bank
er's and Editors Meetings are. not
formally programmed" said Fred P.
Adkins, past-President of the AS
sociation.
''This is as it should be, since the
aim of the Association is at this
time to get counsel and not to give
it. What we learn at these two
meetings will have a great weight
with the Governors of the Assoc
iation in determining it's future
course"
From DR. Grier, at Milford, Della
ware, it was learned that the edit
or's meeting will be attended by ap-
proximately thirty out of every
fifty invited. Only Peninsula edit
ors were invited.
Asked whether Harvey J. Hill
who resigned last week from the
Executive Vice-Presidency of the
Association would be present at the
Editors and Bankers conference,
DR.. G. Layton Grier stated, "He
certainly will. I am in a position to
know that one of the reasons for
terminating his official relationship
at this time is in order that he may
work and speak with greater free
dom in the campaign to assure the
future of the Del-Mar-Va Associat-
ion.
"Our Executive Committee and
Governors regret to a man, that he
feels it necessary to leave November
first. But if between now and
November first, Mr.. Hill feels that
he can work and speak more freely
by laying aside what he calls the
collar of public office" and by
making it clear that he it not in
terested in the future emoluments
of the position he now holds, we
are forced to agree that he is not
only within his rights but his action
also may serve to give him greater
influence in the campaign"
The referendum ballots have al
ready been printed, and as soon as
the referendum information sheet
which is to accompany the ballot is
deliverd from the printers, the
will be filled and mailed.
The envelopes have already been
to the referendum list in
tn five central counties. At Assoc
iation headquarters in Salisbury it
is stated that approximately 100
persons in these counties will be
requested to examine the record of
achievements and vote
on the question as to whether 1t
should be continued.
