ASKOV PRINCIPAL
Vernon e. Anderson Accepts Position
I'm A Large High School Sys.
tenn Monday.

Vernon E. Anderson, who has
taught in the Askov high school for
the past four years in the capacity
of principal, accepted a contract Mon
day as principal of the Elk River
high school. Elk River, a village of
about 1000 people southeast of St.
Cloud, has a high school with an en-
rollment of over 200 pupils and en-
ploys II teachers. Mr.. Anderson's
duties will be mostly administration
work with only two subjects to teach
and he will have charge of all teach
ers meetings.
The high school has an excellent
new building with fine auditorium
and gymnasium with full physical
education equipment with lockers for
all pupils. Excellent class rooms are
afforded and the principal has a pri-
vate office. The school goes in
strongly for music and last year won
national recognition for its study hall
and library room.

evidence of thorough and professional
ability which should carry him to a
high place in his chosen lifework of
education. He always showed nat
ural ability in administration and
discipline which gained for him the
unfOrgetable respect of scores of
pupils who went through the study
halls of the Askov school. His work
was always done to an unselfish de-
gree and in his extra curricular ac-
tivities he played a large part in
bringing county and district debate
honOrs to Askov and his basketball
teams were always a threat to the
competition of the district. Many are
the times he sacrificed his own pleas
ure for the association of his pupils
in giving them everything he could
in an educational way. His work
here at Askov will long be remem-
bered by scores of friends who all
learn of his professional advance
ment with happiness and best wishes.

The phrase new deal,
Should mean just this:
A cheerful smile,
A goodnight kiss,
Enough to eat,
And clothes to wear,
A book to read,
A joke to share,
A job to do,
A friendship real;
All this to me

STRANGE VISITOR TO
SHORE WATERS CAUGHT

A white shark, native of tropical
waters and rarely seen locally, was
caught off Nottingham Beach last
week by Mr.. Paul Gibson, of Rich
mond, fishing with party on Paul
Travis yacht.
The huge fish, weighing according
to Mr.. Travis about 375 pounds, meas
ured nine feet and one inch in length
and was caught on a small Bonita line
after a thrilling four hour battle. Still
showing plenty of fight after the long
struggle the fish was skillfully brought
near enough to the yacht to be killed
with a high-powered rifle.
The shark was brought to Cape
Charles and strung up on the old Pen
insula Ferry Docks where many peo-
pie viewed it during Sunday and Mon
day.

years old, was beautifully situated on
the bayside and considered an attrac-
tive old place.
Historic interest surrounds the old
homestead for it was originally where
tobacco was stored and later shipped
to Europe.
The first owner, as far as can be
learned, was Capt. Laban Gunter. He
built storehouse on the place and
it stands today, being used as barn.
Capt. Gunter had three vessels and
shipped grain to the city. The three
ships were conaiscated during the
Civil War.
Capt. Laban Gunter was the father
of Mr.. Edward Gunter, who recently
died. The latter was U. S. mail car
rier for 40 years, carrying mail on
his back, later in cart, then using
a buggy. But he never used an au-
tomobile. For long time, it is said,
Mr.. Gunter received 25c a trip for
carrying the mail and saved quite a
tidy sum from it.

John Gunter and his son, Earl, were
in the house at the time and were
awakened about 1 o'clock. The fire

awakened. A Mr.. Fitchett who was
fishing nearby saw the flames and

They motored to Deals Island where
they were taken out to the fishing
grounds and in one hour landed 125
trout, not counting the smaller fish.

NO FIGURE MENTIONED
FOR RICHMOND FERRY

Henry G.. Shirley, state highway
commissioner, said recently that in
the discussion over the proposal that
the state highway commission take
over and operate the Deltaville- Har-
horton ferry, connecting the Eastern
Shore with the rest of Virginia, there
had been no mention made of any fig
ure at which the present ferry cor
poration would sell its rights and prop
critics to the state. He understood,
however, he said, that the ferry cor
poration was willing to sell to the
state Eat a price," This price would
be determined as the result of a val
uation proceeding.
Even if the state determines to en-
bark on this venture it will be a year
or more before anything along that
line could be done. Mr.. Shirley very
frankly told proponents that the COM
mission was without funds at this time
to buy the ferry.
Some OF the supporters OF the pro-
posal see a chance to raise money nee
essary for the change by borrowing
federal funds. They point out that
the state highway department is al
ready operating as toll bridge the
James Madison Memorial Bridge con-
Meeting Port Royal and Port Conway.
Funds for the construction of this
bridge were obtained through Re-
construction Finance Corporation loan
If the state eventually decides to
take over the Deltaville-H arbortor
Ferry, it will mean the adoption OF
a new policy, which is expected to
lead to the taking over of other fer.
ries in the state.

shotgun for squirrel hunting. She re-
minded him she had no shells and he
claimed that he did. He left at 1880

Not hearing from his son, Mr.. Smith
became worried and went to fancy
town on Sunday. Learning there that
his son had not been seen since Mon
day, he became alarmed. He made a
search over the grounds and found
the body of the youth lying in a
marsh about three-quarters of a mile
from the farmhouse. The top of his
head was blown off, he having evil

and pulled the trigger. The gun was
in his hand.
Coroner George E. Benson, Deputy
Sheriff Emory Hahn, with DR.. Thorn
as A. Martin, Taneytown, viewed the
body. An inquest was deemed not
necessary. In searching the body, a
note was found in his pocket as fol-
lows: "Dear Mother-Very sorry to
do this, but I'd sooner do this than

a hole in the woods and throw me
