WERE GUESTS OF
STOCKTON COUNCIL
Rev. LittletOn, Of POwellville De.
livered A Very Fine In

A goodly crowd of members of the
Worcester County Association, Jr. o.
U. A. M. went to Stockton from all

September 18th, and were the guests
of Stockton Council in the regular
monthly assembly of the six Councils
of Worcester County, j. e., Stockton,
Snow Hill, Newark, Shovel, Ocean
City and Whaleyville. State Council
or Kelly was the speaker Of the even
ing and in very lucid manner de-
liberated on the enforced assessment
just issued from National headquar-
tiers. His talk was a satisfactory re-
sumo of all the ms and outs that
brought about this latest advancement
in finances and it seemed to offer a
way for all Councils concerned.
Rev. Littleton of Powellville, deliv-
cred a very inspiring address, this
being Rev. Littleton's first visit to
Stockton in nineteen years.
DR.. w. A. Taylor presided in the
absence Of President Orlando Shock
ley, who was kept away by the press
of his canning activities at this time.
The next meeting Of the Association
was called for Monday, October Is, at
Shovel, when there will be an cleo
ton Of officers for the ensuing fiscal
year-the Association being just one
year old in October.
Stockton served plenty Of ice cream
after the heated discussion was over,
and the way they urged "more" on
the "dry" assemblage kept them still
in the column of one of the best en-
tertainers of the Association.

MARKET STREET
SOON OPENED
TO THE PUBLIC
Likely To Be Finished By The
Last Of Next Week, If
Good Weather Continues
REPAIR WORK ON CITY
BLOCK CONSIDERED

Work on Market Street is progress
ing rapidly and it is reported the con-
tractors will finish the entire highway
to tenth street in about week or ten
days. The concrete work will be COM
pleted this week. From tenth to the
city limits macadam will be used, and
it will have the same appearance as
that of the Pocomoke--Snow Hill road.
The ornamental lighting has all been
put into position and the current turn
ed on. The residents are loud in their
praises of the improvement along this
line. Seventeen new lamps were erect
ed and they are zigzagged from side
to side thus distributing the rays
more effectively.
There does not seem to be any ad-
verse opinion to the improvement. AS
heretofore chronicled, some dissatis-
faction has been manifested concern
ing the rough surfacing of the side
walks. Some adverse criticism, it is
reported, has been made by the in
spectors and it cannot be learned
whether the work will be accepted.
The property holders claim they hold
the Corporation responsible, but
whether the corporation holds the state
responsible cannot be learned.
1t is to be hoped the City Council
can find their way clear to repair the
block on Clarke Avenue, between Mar
ket and Vine. 1t does not appear that
the sort of surfacing used on this Sec
ton is equal to resisting the amount
of traffic using it. 1t is now con-
siderably broken up and presents a
very unpleasing appearance besides
making transportation very rough.
It is reported that the authorities
are contemplating having the block
concreted, with the apparatus in the
city and probably enough material on
hand, the contractors of the Market
street job, could do this more easily
and economically now than at any
other time. 1t can be depended upon
that the City Council realizes the
needed repair and will do everything
in their power to bring it about.

DIR. MATHEWS
WILL BECOME
LOCAL RECTOR
Has Accepted Call To st. Mary's
Church, POcOmOke Parish,
This City
WILL BEGIN MINISTRY
SUNDAY, OCTOBER Ia

Rev. DR.. Rubert B. Mathews, rector
of All Hallows Episcopal Church,
Snow Hill, Md, has accepted call
from st. Mary's Church, Pocomoke to
become it's rector, he assuming his
ministerial duties here on the second
Sunday in October, the 18th.
DR.. Mathews will not sever his re-
lation with the Snow Hill Church,
but will serve Pocomoke instead of
Ocean City, the resort having formed
one of circuit composed of Snow Hill,
Ocean City and Stockton. He will
divide his residence between Snow Hill
and Pocomoke, he occupying the Rec
tory here four or five months in the
year.
DR.. Mathews began his ministry as
a Congregationalist, having received
his theological education in seminaries
of that denomination. In 1921, after
being raised to the priesthood in the
Episcopal Church, he came to Snow
Hill, where he remained one year.
Receiving call from st. Thomas
Church, Newark, Delaware, he remov-
ed to that city where he remained
for seven and one-half years. He
then was called back to Snow Hill,
where he has remained until this date.
In 1923, he received the degree Of
Doctor of Divinity from Washington
College, this being conferred as rec
ognition of his scholarly attainments
in his chosen profession and as one
of the outstanding clergymen of his
church.
DR.. Mathews is no stranger to this
community. He has frequently been
called upon in the way of making
addresses to organizations, fraternal,
civic, church and educational. Indeed,
he has found it necessary, at times,
to refuse invitations owing to too
great demands upon his services as a
lecturer. He has always charmed his
audiences by his rare fluency, his pol
ished diction, his deep thinking and his
magnetic personality. The church
feels itself fortunate in securing him
as Rector and his ministry and general
citizenship should be rare asset to
the community.

Food Prices
Now Highest
Since 1881

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-White
textile workers were preparing to
strike against decreasing earnings,
ranging for many from 81 to SO a
week and including a tendency for
higher wages to drop to the mini
mum, the U. S. Department of La
Dor this week reported record jumps
in the steadily increasing cost of
living. During the two weeks end
ing Aug. IA, retail food prices adj
vanced to the highest level since
Dec. Is, 1881, according to Com
missioner Lubin of the Bureau of
Labor Statistics. They were more
than 1914 per cent higher than on
April IS, 1888, the low point since
pre-war days.
"The bureaus index number
recorded the largest increase over
any two weeks period In the pres
ent year with a rise of 1.2 per
cent" Lubin said: 1.-THE current
advance places the retail food
price level at 1I1.8 per cent of the
1913 average. The current index
shows an accumulated rise of
slightly more than four per cent
since April a, when the present
increase began. The index on
that date was 1878"
There has been in the last two
weeks, the bureaus figures indicate,
an 8.6 per cent rise in the average
price of eggs, Sc per cent advance
in butter and lard, a 80 per cent
increase in pork chops, and a one
per cent or more increase in the
price of sliced ham, bacon, flour
and cornmeal.
While the drought has been a
factor in causing the skyrocketing
of food prices, the main reason has
been, observers here say, the A.A.A.
policy of acreage Limitation, hog
killing and other livestock butch

PEIPING, China, Aug. 80 (By
WiCeless) Japanese financed news
papers in Manchuria openly state
that it is necessary now to mass
troops in Manchuria for war against
the Soviet Union, and to strike a
swift blow in order to gain the
greatest advantage.
They call for seizure of the
Chinese Eastern Railway and the
doubling of Japanese military forces
in Manchuria.
Frequently they say too much
and expose the inner meaning of
the arrests of Soviet employees of
the Chinese Eastern Railway and
the vile charges made against them,
completely confirming the estimate
given by the Soviet press and the
greater part of the world press.
For example, the Hardin "sim-
