SHIRLEY TEMPLE
 IN POLL CINEMA
"A m erica's e Sweetheart Shows Here Tomorrow
 fin "The Little Colonel"

Tonight will be the last chance you will have of seeing the triple feature program at Polls which is without a doubt the greatest scren entertainment shown in town in a long time. The first feature Is Myrna Loy and Cary Grant i'm Wings In The Dark; the second. Ricardo Cortez, Virginia Bruce in Shadow Of Doubt; and the third, "The March Of Time" sensational news items made up from your favorite radio program. The first issue of this subject in town caused a lot of comment and innumerable requests have been made for the following issue.
 Saturday will bring another red- letter picture to town on the reg ular double feature program of Polls. It is the outstanding film of the year, with America's Sweet heart Shirley Temple featured.
 If this little rascal ever stole in- to your heart before here is where you will have the best time of your life as she brings laughs, tears and joy with rapid success ion.
 On the same program there will be Americas new love Virginia Bruce with Robert Taylor, the newest of heart thrills for girls. Then there is new conner to the screen also featured in this pic- ture, none other than "Pinky" Tomlin, the writer of "The Object Of My Affection and he will be the object of your affections af- l ter you have seen him in this pic- ture with his contagious smile, his different manner of singing a song, and the mannerisms that are his and as an Oklahoma cowboy he brings to the screen a new l freshness.
 Polls is now on the showing of it's new spring pictures and this program is the opening one, with a great many more treats to fol- low in rapid succession. There is the incentive of the major produc- CTS in sowing their pictures at
 Poli's as with the large capacity 1t is the only theater in New Eng
 land that can show the bigger of
 pictures at low prices and still do
 more business than smaller the- aters.

 of Helen Hayes in "Vanessa" and

 Because they couldn't agree on stories, Raymond and the colun- blan studio have just cancelled q two-year contract calling for three pictures a year. The contract, giv. ing Gene the right to approve all stories, was signed a year ago. However, so far he hasn't liked a single story submitted to him. So the whole deal has been called of.
 Now both Paramount and RKO are dangling fancy long-term con- tracts before him, but to no avail. The actor doesn't want to make any pictures unless he feels that the story is particularly suitable to him. And he feels that the only way to maintain such freedom Is to be free lance player.
 However, the Paramount offer was particularly gratifying, since 1t called for a straight $2000-a- week salary. Two years ago this same studio released Gene from h:s contract because 1t felt that his $250 weekly salary was too high.
 Auu QOtl bllAIlk 1enyAnOA0 OA0A ' enjoy saying "no" to their offer! Fast Work for Won Sternberg Extrai Extra! Marlene Die- trlch's new picture, Caprice Es- pagnol," will be finished three weeks under schedule. This may not seem like a particularly im- portant item outside of Hoilywoo5. But it's the biggest news of the day here.
 Josef von Sternberg, who has di- rected all but one of the Dietrich films, is noted for his long produc- tibn schedules. Even our biggest productions to-day are shot in six or seven weeks. Yet von Stern. berg nearly always takes 13 weeks or longer.
 So when he told me that he would complete Caprice Espag- mol" in ten weeks-well, that was
 news.
 Of course, there may be a req son for this sudden burst of speed. This is supposed to be the last pic- ture of Dietrich's that Won" di-
 rects. And it's just possible that
 he thinks, by bringing the film ir
 under schedule, he can persuade Paramount executives to prepare new contract.
 However, if the finished picture is no better than "The Scarlet Elm press," he shouldn't get a new
 contract if he turned, out the film in two days.

The campaign for control of insects
and diseases should be started early
and continued throughout the entire
season, according to Mr.. Ballard. He
points out that, while not quite as
effective as spraying, busting has the
virtue of being simple and easy to
do.
A good mixture for busting, accord
ing to Mr.. Ballard, is nine parts of
busting sulphur to one part of arsenate
of lead, Copper arsenate dust is also
effective although it has a tendency
to discolor foliage more than sulphur
In either case, it is important to keep
the foliage covered as sprays and
dusts are preventive rather than cures.

HISTORY OF OAKLAND FIRE
COMPANY is INTERESTING

The first Volunteer Fire Department
in Oakland of which there is any rec
ord, was organized in the year 1894
and had its headquarters in a frame
building which stood on the site of the
present City Hall on Third street.
This company of volunteers con-
tinued for a number Of years, but final
ly, in the course of time, fell by the
wayside. Prior to the organization of
the first company the fighting of fires
was done by volunteers, their only
equipment being buckets and those en-
gagged in fighting the fires were those
who happened to have knack for fire
fighting.
The first apparatus owned by the
town consisted of a hose reel, hook
and ladder outfit and a small chemical,
all drawn by hand. In 1922 the chemi-
cal tanks were mounted on a Ford
chassis. Later this truck was sold and
Dodge car was purchased and used
for several years for the purpose of
hauling hose. AS Oakland has a
natural water pressure of 105 pounds
to the square inch in the lower part
of town, this equipment served very
well for few years.
In 1924 large Locomobile was pur-
chased and a pumper outfit installed
which did good work until it was sold
to Delmarva, on the Eastern Shore,
and the two LaFrance bumpers now in
use in the town were purchased. They
are still in service and have given
general satisfaction.
The present local company affiliated
with the Maryland State Firemen's
Association in 1927 and was incorpo-
rated under the Laws of the State of
Maryland in the year 1884.
The present officers of the Oakland
Volunteer Firemen are: Edward A.
Shaffer, president; William R. Brown
ing, vice-president; James E. Hart,
secretary; Walter w. Dawson, treasur-
er; Emroy Bolden, chief; Grover C.
Stemple, Fred C. Peddicord, assistant
chiefs; Ernest Townshend, Sr, captain.

Agreement Between States I'M
periled by New Truck Fees

A break in the reciprocal agreement
between Maryland and West Virginia
on commercial truck licenses and fees
is impending.
On July l new truck fee ranging
from 500 to $3.50 year, becomes eff
fective in West Virginia and motor
vehicle authorities have notified Mary
land officials that the levy will be made
on the freight-carrying trucks regis
tered in this State and which operate
in West Virginia.
Walter R. Rudy, Commissioner of
Motor Vehicles, said Saturday that he
would require trucks registered in
West Virginia to obtain Maryland IL
censes or deny them the use of the
States highways if the provisions of
the new West Virginia law are en-
forced against Maryland truck owners.
Have Reciprocity Agreement
Mr. Rudy made this announcement
on receipt of an opinion from the At
torney General that any additional
charge imposed on Maryland trucks
by West Virginia would be a breach of
the reciprocity agreement.
Mr.. Rudy said he would issue in
structions to halt operation of West
Virginia trucks over Maryland roads
beginning July l if authorities of that
State persist in exacting the fees
from Maryland operators.

Roses Need Care for Best Results
Plenty of water, proper fertilizer
and manure, and applications of dust
or spray are all necessary factors in
successful cultivation of roses, ac-
cording to Walter R. Ballard, horticul-
turalist for the University of Mary
land Extension Service. Especially is
this true of hybrid tea roses, which
have retained to a considerable extent
the recurent habit of blooming, char
acteristic of the tea rose, and which
necessitates certain amount of "stim-
ulation" until midsummer, when the
roses go into a semi-dormant condi-
ton.
This Stimulation" may be supplied
through applications of nitrate of
soda, either dry or in solution, or as
liquid manure, which seems to be pre-
ferred by many rose growers, it is
stated by Mr.. Ballard. While applica-
tions of manure or fertilizer are not
made after midsummer, when the
dormant period begins, they are re-
sumed when cooler weather
arrives and another period of activ-
ity starts.
Roses need an abundance of water
and, if the soil is well drained, they
can scarcely be supplied with too
much. The beds should be soaked
thoroughly once week during the
period of active growth. In recent
years there has been tendency to
mulch the beds in midsummer with
