After the holiday season 'lay-off, the Waterbury Mfg Co Office loop swung into action again last Tues day evening at the Chase alleys and assured thet popular North End recreation center of a con tinued display of high class bowl ing. The calibre of bowling fea- tured by this very popular league attracts many North End residents and sport lovers, who turn out in scores to cheer and encourage their favorites. These fans as well as the management and the rec reation committee are very happy and pleased to see this league re- sume activities again.
 Fans at Tuesday nights session of the league saw r. c. Smith and his stooges shake down the Esti- mators for 3 points and ascend into first place for the first time in history. If you have been follow ing the antics of those FizzlinS Plumbers for the past few seasons, you most certainly should be amazed to ascertain that this az gregation has assumed the league leadership. Everything has been SOC hanged around lately. MT smith credits 1t to, the New Deal.
 Harry Hubert's sensational scores and w. c. Husted's steady pinning aided the Plumbers, but not us much as, Tim Sulllvan's 8l and Ray Newcll's 78. Incidently, Sullivan attributes his remarkable improvement to the fact that he rolls better with new pins.
 Bill Dwyer's "Carioca Curve" was working to perfection and Bill knocked off the amazing scores of 86 and 88.
 r. C. Smith, himself, contrib uted to the victory with dazzling 105 score.
 President Charles Rush called q special meeting immediately fol- lowing the bowling on charges growing out of the 3 point victory of the Plumbers over the Esti- mators.
 Rumors are rampant that the Estimators were contacted before game time and that some kind of an arrangement was made where by the Plumbers were to win all of the points.
 Charges are growing out of q remark that was overheard con- corning a demand for a rebate when the Estimators accidently won the first game.

LARGE CROWDS
ATTEND OPENING
RECREATION PARK
Oyster Roast And Boy Scout
Band Draw Many To The
Attractive Spot

The formal opening on Wednesday
evening last, of the Pocomoke City
recreation center, with very attrac-
tive log cabin as it's distinctive fea-
ture, was quite successful, socially as
well as financially.
The oyster roast was the source OF
income and the amount realized was
quite satisfactory to those who staged
the event of the evening. Large num-
bers attended and the time was spent
in eating, in looking over the "plant"
and in friendly mingling.
The location of the park is unfor-
tunate in not having access to a line
of electric wires and poles, but Scout
master Henderson has assembled q
number of motor batteries and had
strung wires over the roast tables
These, along with lanterns and head
lights from cars, gave light enough
for all purposes.
The Boy Scout band was in attend
ance and gave good music during the
evening. The Scouts had also contrib
uted some Of their word craft speci.
mems to the cabin, in the way of rus
tic chairs, cabinets, mantel ornaments
benches, and tables. In time, the boys
should have the big room most attrac-
lively furnished. The entire affair
was most encouraging.

CCC CAMP in

OPENED NOV. l
One Hundred And FOrty-Five
Boys Come To The Shore
From Pennsylvania
WILL BEGIN WORK ON
MOSQUITO DRAINAGE

A company of las CCC boys in
charge of Captain Wilson arrived at
J Westover, Somerset County at A.
M, on Friday of last week, after
travelling by train, a distance Of about
$50 miles from a forestry camp IN
the northern part of Pennsylvania,
near Remove. The boys homes are
located around Scranton, Wilkes Bar
re, Pottsville, Pittsburg, and from
other industrial sections in Pennsyl-
vania. Twenty-four recruits arrived
Monday from Fort Hoyle near Baitl-
more. The Company strength is about
ITO enlisted men which will be in
creased to about 100 men, besides
there will be 16 local experienced
men enrolled on the same basis as the
other men.
The boys have made very favor
able impression on the people OF the
community who admire their spirit
and willingness to work to help sup
port their families who have suffer-
ed from unemployment during the
past few years. The boys receive
their board, lodging and clothes and
$4,000 a month, of which $500 IS
sent direct to their dependents. The
bovs wear uniforms and will apprec-
late rides to and from the neighboring
towns.
The following army officers are IN
CHARGE of the Camp: Captain Wilson,
Lieutenant French and Lieutenant Ar
mold and a medical officer. Mr.. f.
FRANKLIN Griffin is the educational
adviser.
The men will engage in drainage
work on the % tax bitches in the coun-
ty, government regulations will not
permit the cleaning out of any drains
unless they are legally organized tax
bitches.
Several weeks ago County Agent
C. z. Keller requested the tax ditch
managers to prepare a report OF the
drainage needs on their ditch and re-
turn the report by November LIST. The
reports were received from practical
Iy all of the % tax bitches and these
reports with other drainage data FOL
the county was submitted by Mr.
Keller to Mr.. Hannaman, who was
able to use this information and start
the work promptly. He selected
Kings Creek Tax Ditch and Marum
SEQ Tax Ditch as the first bitches tt
receive work, based on the policy Of
the greatest drainage need for thu
largest number of people. The Kings
Creek Tax Ditch has a length Of ID,
$50 yards on which rs taxables arr
assessed for 1904 acres. The Marum
SEQ Tax Ditch has a length of 1905
yards, 70 taxables are assessed To-
1900 acres of land.

seemed to scent scrap and they
wants1s 70 come into physical contact
with the odor.
The scrap this time was on the
route that proposed improved high
ways should take in this county. Diff
ference Of opinions had caused two
factions to spring up: one favoring a
dual highway running through the
county and linking up with a similar
one on Delaware border on the north.
and with another on the South at the
Virginia border-these two States,
Delaware and Virginia, being report
ed as having in prospect such high
ways.
The other faction was backing an
Eastern Shore Boulevard of which
straight road from Salisbury to Po-
comoke City would be link, this
boulevard being rival to the splendid
system of roads in Delaware and SER
wing to keep in Maryland whatever
advantages might accrue to any terri
tory by reason of tourist travel, and
not have it shunted off into Delaware
by connecting link starting at the
Virginia line.

fray, the arms consisting mostly OF

quently put on big representations;
much efficacy in physical proportions,
so big crowd was out.
Snow Hills Mayor, John O. Byrd,
made the visitors feel comfortable by
welcoming speech and his remarks
were followed by the election Of the
Hon. Horace Davis, of Berlin, as
chairman of the meeting. Mr.. Davis
said they had met for the purpose OF
deciding what roads 1--WE" want in
Worcester, after Snow Hill, Berlin,
and Ocean City had carefully digested
the various plans of road building.
AS a starter, in getting the program
desired by the upper countians, Chair
man Davis called on United States
Senator from Delaware, John &.
Townsend. Jr., of Selbyville, who hap
pened to be present, to say what was
on his mind. Senator Townsend VEN
tured the prediction that when Mary
land built a dual highway from the
Virginia line to the Delaware line,
Delaware would meet it with one from
Dover to Selbyville.
This statement seemed to please two
of Worcester's county comissioners-
Messrs. Franklin and Shockley-who
expressed themselves as favorable to
the Virginia OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES prop
osition. The dual highway through
Worcester from the Old Dominion
boundary to the Blue Hens Chickens
roost seemed to have already begun
construction, from both ends stimuli
taneously. Then, as a mere trifllng
incident of the occasion, Senator
Veasey was asked if he aid anything
to say. 1t is reported he had.
