toned some, cor are they just going
through" Then others got up nerve
enough to approach the driver ana
ask the question, "Are you coming
to Pocomoke this year." The answer
was yes, but the date was not defin-
lite. This week the man and his car
were back, advertising, play dates,
titles, attractions, everything ready
for the grand opening at Pocomoke
Monday, June 25 for one big week.
Shades of romance fitted across
the faces of many as they stood on
the street and read the advertise
ments,, the romance and glamour, in
stilled in millions of souls by that
vivid picture drawn by Edna Ferber,
created a desire to again be able to
visit the haunts of the real Show Boat
that had been the nucleus of her
story.

fifteen provinces of the southern
section of the island of Luzon.
Government reports showed that
at least thirty-six persons had lost
their lives in the other provinces,

Belief that the death toll at

worker.
In asking for $4,000 additional re-

headquarters here that other towns
in the vicinity of Mauban also had
been damaged heavily.
Accompanied by a government re-
lief party, he set out for the stricken
town after sending the report. En-
route they were forced o abandon
their automobiles and to mount
horses to take them over impossible
roads.
Messages from Mauban must be
relayed by courier to Lucena OF
