DEL-MAR-vA ASSOCIATION

The sixth annual Mid-Winter
meeting of the Official Board OF
the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore
Association will be held Mon
day, Jan. II, in the Century
Club Rooms, at Dover, Del.
The meeting will be in the form
Of a combined luncheon and
businss session.
In issuing the call for this
meeting President Stewart 4.
Powell, of Onancock, Va, Is
following his plan of rotating
the larger group meetings
among the three states repre-
sented on the Peninsula. The
Midsummer meeting was hello
at Wachaprague, Va.
Among the more important
matters to be considered is a
plan combining the issuance OF
a new master booklet and the
rebuilding of the Association
membership.
The program calls for the at
tendance of a representative
of one of the largest financial
organizations in the East who
is now preparing a survey OF
agricultural conditions on the
Peninsula for the purpose OF
formulating an improved plan
of marketing Del-Mar-Va pro-
ducts and lettering transporta-
ton service on outgoing and
incoming commodities.
Congressman Robt. G.. Hous-
ton. of Delaware, who as a
member of the Association has
advocated improved transpor-
tation facilities, has been re,
quested to attend and present
his idas and views as to how
the Association may work log
ically and with result along
these lines
The Board will also consider
Federal restrictions made on
waterfowl shooting upon re-
quest of citizens in several sec
tons of the Peninsula where
the livelihood and income of
numerous residents have been
affected by the ruling last year
reducing the open shooting
season to a thirty day limit.
Several plans have been adj
vanced which those directly
concerned believe would be
more advantageous than the
present curtailment, and the
Association will be asked to
cooperate with national organ
izations that will seek this
year to have the regulations
changed so they will become
effective next season.
Two proposals asking the
Association to cooperate in re-
lieving the unemployment stu
alton and to unite with State
Chambers of Commerce in off
ering service to the President s
Organization On Unemploy-
ment Relief will be acted upon
as will several features OF di-
rect interest to Del-Mar-Va as
a unit.

MEALS ASSURED
FOR MEN IN PARKS
Work to Continue for Time
Despite Threat That Funds
Are Exhausted.

Although Washington's parks are in
danger of losing the services of the
unemployed" because the funds OF
the District Employment Committee
threatens to give out about the middle
of next month, continued free lunches
for those men during March was as
sured by yesterdays action of the trus-
tees of the Welfare and Recreational
Association of Public Buildings and
Grounds, Inc.
A forewarning of the slump in funds
to pay the men who work in the parks
under the auspices of the District En-
ployment Committee, came today to
Frank T. Gartside, chief of the park
division of the Office of Public Build
ings and Public Parks, in the commit
tees promise that he would be given
one weeks notice before the funds ex-
pire.
Wants 275 Men Monday.
Mr.. Gartside has requested 275 "un-
employed men to start work next Mon
day, under the rotating plan the COM
mittee has been operating
Since the end of 1881, the "unem-
ployed" have been at work in various
parks OF the city, cleaning up fallen
leaves. removing fire hazards and TAX
ing out down and dead timber.
This activity has enabled Lieut. Col.
u. S. Grant. Sd, director of public
buildings and public parks, to accom-
plish great deal Of identification work
for which Congress has provided no
funds. The men have worked in Rock
Creek Park, in Foundry Branch Valley,
in the Brentwood tract and in Soap
stone Valley.
Work for Many Years.
Mr. Gartside asserted that there is
sufficient work of this nature in the
parks to keep men employed for a
number of years, as in Rock Creek Park
alone only comparatively small part
Of the task has been accomplished since
the present system was instituted.
Col. Grant presided yesterday at a
meeting of the trustees Of the Welfare
Association held at the new Department
of Commerce Building. The trustees
voted to continue this month donating
sandwiches and coffee at noon time to
the unemployed" working N the parks.
The trustees also decided to continue
their donations of fooc 70 the Gospel
Mission and the Central Union Mission.
