men of conservative minds and care
full habits when it comes to investing
money. They have shown their con-
fidence in the enterprise, and those
who are considering stock purchase
should be encouraged by those who
have placed their commentator on
the business.
Pocomoke needs such enterprises
in it's limits. The shoe manufacture
ing idea should appeal to all who
desire to see the city advance along
the line of industrial progress. Shoes
are necessity, not luxury and there
is something solid about the making
of such a commodity. The project
should receive the support of the COM
munity and receiving this, it is con-
fidently believed Pocomoke will soon
advance to a wonderful expansion.

ELECTRIC ASSO.
OF DEL-MAR-VA
HOLD SESSION
Regular May Meeting Held In
POcOmOke City On May
18th
ELECTRICAL SHOW IN
SALISBURY SOON

The regular May meeting of the
Delmarva Electric Association was
held at the Fire Headquarters at Po-
comoke City, Maryland, Monday even
ing, May IA. "a members and guests
were present. Among the guests pres
ent were representatives of many
well known manufacturers and several
Eastern Shore dealer and contractor
firms not already in the Association.
A splendid dinner a la Eastern Sho'
was served by the Ladies Auxiliary
of Pocomoke.
The main business before the meet
ing was the discussion Of the Delmar-
va Electric Homemaker's Show, which
will be held in the First Regiment
Armory at Salisbury, Maryland, on
June 10, IA, Is, and 16. The discuss
ion was led by Lawrence Jennings,
Eastern Shore Public Service Com
pany, general chairman in charge of
the project; and it brought forth much
lively comment. All dealer and con-
tractor members of the Association
will be represented at the Show by
the various products they merchan-
disc. The displays will be complete,
every electrical home appliance that
is known being exhibited by every
national manufacturer who is repres-
ented on the Peninsula. The members
expressed their hearty approval of
the project; and they voted to lend
it their earnest cooperation.
This business being disposed of,
the speaker of the evening, DR.. G. w.
Allison of New York city, was intro
duced. DR.. Allison, who is known
and recognized the country over as
constructive thinker and leader in
business circles, is one of the leaders
of the Electric Refrigeration Bureau.
Being introduced, he highly compli-
mented the Association on the fine
work it is doing to promote on the
Shore a high order of business COM
petition. And he especially lauded
its enterprise in sponsoring such a
gigantic project as the Electric Home
makers Show.
DR.. Allison's talk dealt with the
problems of the electrical refrigerat-
ion industry as seen from the Dealers
viewpoint. He expressed decided OPP
timism as to prospects for progress
for the future. Business conditions
are greatly improved" said DR.. Alli-
son, "and they are concerned with
permanent business. He stated that
we are on the threshold of the great
est selling era in history; but that it
was most necessary that dealers build
their progress on a "sound merchan-
dising basis" in order to reap the best
benefits.
The statistics that he quoted were
from responsible sources and could
not be doubted And they were of
an encouraging aspect. For example
to show that the electrical refriger-
ators that are today offered to the
public are of the best quality and stab
ility, he said that in 1882 there were
200 manufacturers of electrical re-
frigerators; but that today there are
only go.
Whenever DR.. Allison speaks, his
listeners are certain to receive vital
facts and ideas. His address on this
occasion was no exception to the rule.
The Delmarva Electric Association
is proud that he has honored them

MONEY MANAGEMENT

The National movement for thC
teaching of money management in
the public schools of the country
appears to be growing by leaps and
bounds, and seems to be healthy
indication and a natural Conse-
quence of the recent world wide de-
preston.
Money management has been a
successful part of the curriculum of
the Brookline, Massachusetts, public
schools for six years. and now the
Minnesota Congress of Parents and
Teachers has gone on record in fa-
vor of teaching money management
in the Minnesota public schools
and Investors Syndicate. which
sponsored Living Protection" has
aligned itself intellectually behind
the movement. Massachusetts. Min
nesOta and Investors Syndicate are
to be heartily congratulated on this
forward movement, which undOubt-
edly will continue TO spread until it
blankets the country. Now that the
ice has been broken. indications are
that the teaching of money manage
ment will be pushed by the National
Parent-Teachers Association. and by
many of the various state PTA's.
Reports from Brookline show that
savings accounts in BrOokline banks
are larger and consistently growing.
that financial obligations are re-
Sarded more seriously. and that
there is less haphazard spending.

WILMINGTON DAY -..--

Elaborate Preparations Made by
Merchants To Meet Unprecedented
Demands.

Wilmington merchants, under the
auspices of the Mercantile Section
of the Chamber of Commerce, have
designated Wednesday. November Il
as the "Oficial Fall Wilmington

Every possible effort has been
made by retail merchants of Will
mington to provide the most attrac-
tive and economical merchandising
events which has been offered to
the housewives of the Del-Mar-Va
Peninsula and adjacent counties in
Pennsylvania and New Jersey for
many years. In every line of retail
merchandising. including articles of
all home utility, clothing and the
miscellaneous items used by every
member of the family, and, in fact,
through wide generality of articles
for every purpose, the most thor
Ough effort has been made by Will
mington retailers TO furnish eco
nomically thoroughly and satisfac-
torily the requirements of the
thousands of visitors who. past ex-
perience has shown, invariably take
advantage of the unusual offerings
made on these semi-annual special (,
days.

Washington Snapshots

One hears few observers at the
Capital discuss a return of Herbert
Hoover to public life to again seek
the Presidency. His recent book did
little to popularize him because IL
was too heavily written for the or
binary reader. But many sections OF
its plea for American institutions
will be quoted in the years to come.

The basis of settlement offered by
the National Labor Relations Board
in its initial attempt to settle the
Cleveland grocery store strike actu-
ally marked a milestone in a path
which observers have felt recently
President Roosevelt was travelling
away from organized labor as rep
resented by its present leadership.
Under this proposed pact, labor
agreed not to use coercive methods
to force workers into their union.
In all past moves, including leg
islation presented at the last ses-
sion of Congress, the Administration
has sought justifiably to have EN-
ployers prevented from interfering
by coercion with the right of work
ers to act voluntarily, but failed TO
recognize that the methods of un-
ions is to get a small membership
in a plant and then terrorize others
into joining.
II is certain that a determined ef-
fort will be made at the next Con-
gress to have unions made legally /
responsible for damage which they |
cause and to have the salaries of
high-paid union organizers made
public. since they constitute a drain J
upon workers wages. |
The next Congress is likely to find
the spokesmen of organized labor
and farm organizations pitted

most controversial questions. Labor I
