MAKEMIE PARK
NOT TO LOSE
ITS MEMORIAL
Historical Society Decides Not
To Move Monument If Con-
ditiOns Are Met
APPROPRIATE SHAFT AT
OLD REHOBOTH CHURCH

The controversy that has been going
on for some time relative to the re-
moval of the Mackenzie Memorial from
Mackenzie Park, Va, it's present loca-
ton, to the old Rehoboth Presbyterian
Church, has been settled by compro-
mise. This, in general way, pro-
vides that the memorial stay where
it is, and that another, of some char
acter, be erected at Rehoboth.
The Presbyterian Historical Society,
under whose jurisdiction the matter
came, had received requests from GER
tain church judicatories and from
individuals, asking the removal of the
memorial to more accessible site.
This society, through its Board of Di-
rectors appointed committee on In
vestigation, which committee reported
to the Board, at two of it's meetings,
and it's carefully considered findings
led the Board to agree to the contin-
uance of the monument at its present
site, provided the obstacles which have
prevented the monument from fulfill
ing its purpose were removed.
These conditions for preservation Of
the memorial at it's present site are:
1. If an improved highway from
the main road into the park be made
and maintained by the State of Vir-
GINA. S. K. Powell, Esq, of Oman

DUNCAN BROS.
PREPARING FOR
new LOCATION
Making Extensive Changes In
The Clogg Garage For
Their Occupancy
WILL BE READY in
"A FEW DAYS TO MOVE

The Duncan Brothers Motor Com
pany have been busy this week MAX
ing changes in the new location they
will soon occupy, this being the prop
erty corner Market and Front Streets,
better known, possibly, by the name
of "Clogg's Garage" than by any 9TH
er.
At present, operations are directed
toward tearing down rather than by
e-modeling-these will soon follow,
however. Almost the first change was
to restore to the work room that part
of it that was taken away to obtain
the desired length for the bowling al
legs which had rather an ephemeral
existence in the big room originally
intended for a show room.
Then followed the removal of the
partitions in the storage room which
formed an office and accessories de-
partment for the late Mr.. Clogg, and
display room for the Gladding Bros,
late occupants.
It is also planned to remove the par
tition between the driveway entrance
on Market Street and the big show
room on the right of the entrance,
thus throwing the whole Market ST.,
front into one big room. Gas pumps,
it is understood, will be placed in here
and, in rainy weather the inside con-
venience will be a great protection.
The balcony offices which the ORR
ginal places of the building arranged
in the display room, but which have
never been consistently used, will now
come into regular service, and some
changes will be made in the rest rooms
below the balcony.
Just what method of heating will
be adopted has not been definitely de-
cided upon, but heated storage is
in contemplation and will be adequate
for the preservation of cars in all
kinds of weather. A washing depart
ment, an accessory room, and all other
requirements of modern garage will
be available.
The proprietors are looking for a
speedy completion of changes, and it
will not be many days now before
they will be open for business at their
new stand.

MISSIONER CCC
CAMP TO OPEN
OCTOBER 3lST
Camp Men Are White Juniors
Transferred From PennWi-
vania Camp
LIEUT.. A. B. FRENCH
EXPECTED TO BE ASSIGNED

Latest reports received by Somerset
County Agent, c. z. Keller, state that
present plans call for the occupancy
Of the Westover CCC Camp on Octob-
er 31st. The camp men are white jun
iors, who will be transferred from an
existing Camp in Pennsylvania. The
men will be accustomed to camp rou-
tine and will be ready to begin work
very soon after arrival.
The camp is now practically COM
pleted and the equipment is being re-
: ceived and it is expected that every
thing will be ready for the men when
they arrive next week.
Lieutenant Arlyn B. French who
was in charge of the construction of
the camp was ordered to report to his
company at Frederick. He left Sat-
urday, however he had definite assur-
ance from the officers Of the Third
Corp Area that he would be assigned
as the officer in charge of the West
over Camp. The people Of the COM
munity have been very favorably inn
pressed with Lieutenant French and
last week telegram was sent to the
proper parties asking that Lieutenant
French be assigned to the local camp.
1t seems as though the request will
be granted as the army officers desire
the best of relations between the COM
munity and the men of the camp.
County Agent c. z. Keller has adj
visited the tax ditch managers & others
interested in drainage to prepare
report of their drainage needs by No.
vember 1st so that the work can start
promptly. 1t is planned to work on
three or four projects simultaneously.
The drainage work will be in charge
of the camp superintendent and an en-
gineer. Foremen will be in charge of
the men on the drainage jobs.
Each tax ditch will have an official
representative, selected by the man.
ayers and taxables and he will deal di-
rectly with the camp officials, on the
work to be done on the ditch.
There are 20 tax bitches in the coun-
ty. A new tax ditch known as the
Rehoboth is now being organized. This
ditch will have total length of 1O,-
O61 yards, and will drain $500 acres
for IS property owners. The total
length of the tax ditch is 156, 164 yards
assessed acreage 1855 and a 1074
taxables.
The drainage work will be confined
to tax bitches which are considered
to be public work and there must be
on organization to maintain the drain
age bitches in the future.
Property owners who wish to or
ganize new tax bitches in any COM
munity should get in touch with the
county agent, who will assist them in
the organization steps required under
the drainage law.

CANCER EXPERT
DIED SUDDENLY
LAST TUESDAY
Doctor Joseph Colt BlOOdgOOd
Expires At His Home In
GuilfOrd
VISITED POCOMOKE AS
LECTURER ON DISEASE

When Doctor Joseph Colt Bloodgood
visited Pocomoke City few years ago
and lectured upon the subject of cam
Ger, the Marva Theatre was hardly
large enough to hold those who were
eager to hear him. These, no doubt,
regretted deeply his sudden death
which occurred on Tuesday night of
this week, at his home in Guilford. He
was 60 years of age.
Although in ill-health for more than
a year, he had been able to continue
most of his duties and was stricken
while seated with members of his FAM
lily in the living room of his home last
night. Coronary thrombosis was CIV
en- as the cause of death. DR.. Blood
good would have been 60 years old No
vember 1.
Private funeral services were held
at his home at 2 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon. Burial was in Greenmount
Cemetery.
He taught classes at the John Hop
kins University School of Medicine,
until the summer recess, but when he
complained of not feeling well this fall,
his associates suggested that he re-
fain from trying to teach.
He still continued however, his du-
ties as head of the Hopkins labora-
tory of surgical pathology. He was
also on the staff of the Hopkins Hos
pital and was chief surgeon at the st.
Agnes hospital.
Up until the time of his death, he
continued his active interest in fight
ing cancer and in organization for its
prevention and cure. Only last month
he spoke at dinner Of the -Associa-
ton for the Study of Neoplastic Dis
eases in Washington which had been
given in his honor.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs.
Edith Holt Bloodgood; a son, Holt
Bloodgood; daughter, Miss Winifred
Bloodgood; two sisters, Miss Margaret
Bloodgood and Mrs. Frank Turner, of
Milwaukee, Wis, and brother, Fran
els Bloodgood, also Of Milwaukee.

Well Sir. did any of you people read
that little item in the Sunpaper OF
Tuesday, giving one reason presented
to the Public Service Commission, for
not withdrawing two trains from the
Delaware, Maryland and Virginia Rail-
road? I think our Liquor Control
Board is to be commended for its con-
sideration of the folks along the line.
You know, it's an awful thing to have
to wait while the pangs of thirst gnaw
at your vitals. And were these Wor-
cester Countians compelled to wait for
the uncertainties of freight transpor-
tation as represented by the unreliable
gas engines serving as motive power
for trucks, there is no telling just
what might happen to their anatoml-
cal structure. They might shrivel up
and die.
So our Liquor Control Board showed
that they had real heart when they
named drinkable receipt disabilities
as a real reason for a continuance of
railroad facilities. You see, altho' we
regret to say it, we have a lot of pesky
critters, commonly known as "skeet-
ers" round these diggins, and old John
Barleycorn has been prescribed as an
antidote to the sting of these blood
suckers; so it's a real mercy to ex-
pedite the passage of good old Sher-
wood and such. You've all heard
about the man who took one or two
whiffs and then lay down to peaceful
slumbers in a place where the biters
had a real change. Somebody said he
was too woozy the first part of the
night to feel the midgets at work;
and during the serond part, the skeets
were too woozy to continue the job
So, the stuff has it's Uses after all
And I'm here to commend our Board
in their efforts to meet supply and
demand as expeditiously as possible
I don't want to wait for mine when
the time comes to regale the inner man
and who does?

With the preliminaries Of Senate
organization disposed Of, Chairman
King of the District Committee plans
to make start early this week on
the program of local legislation.

crossed in national legislation.

The District Court of Appeals to-
morrow will pass upon novel situ-
alton in legal jurisprudence-that Of
the United States Attorney General
asking for reversal of criminal con-
viction which the prosecuting attorney
contends was amply justified by the
evidence.
The action of the appellate court is
being awaited with keen interest in
legal circles. 1t has been pointed out
that Attorney General Cummings has,
in effect, taken unto himself the func-
tons of the trial judge and jury, a
position which, if approved. will tend
to establish a precedent of far-reach-
ing significance in criminal cases.
Hazel Albert Smith and Edward j.
partition, former George Washington
University students, were found guilty
in District Supreme Court IA months
ago of deliberately starting fire in
the Sigma Chi Fraternity house at
1912 N street. They appealed from
this conviction and United States At
torney Leslie c. Garnett, with his as
sistant, Harry L. Underwood, filed a

tending the conviction was justified by

FIGHT DEVELOPING
ANEW FOR AIRPORT
One Bill Is IntroduCed-TWo
More to Be Offered
This Week.

Another fight for establishment Of
model airport for Washington was
developing at the Capitol as Congress
settled down for the new term.
One airport bill has been intro
duced and two others are nearly ready
to go into the legislative hopper, one
in the Senate tomorrow and one in the
House probably before the end of the
week
The request for a Public Works Ad-
ministration allotment for the i'm
mediate construction of an airport
on the Gravelly Point site, initiated
in the Office of the Army engineer,
still is under study in the Office of
Maj. Gen. Markham, chief of engi-
neers.
Committee to Meet.
The whole local airport situation
is to be considered by the Aviation
Committee of the Washington Board
of Trade at a meeting tentatively
scheduled for Monday, January IA,
by the committee chairman, Clarence
A. Miller.
Senator Ernest w. Gibson of Ver-
mont is expected to introduce to-
morrow a re-draft of his bill of last
session providing for construction
of model airport on the Gravelly
Point site. This bill has been clarified
in sections dealing with financing of
the project and other items.
Representative Howard w. Smith
of Virginia is completing the draft
of bill to provide for construction
of Federal airport at Gravelly Point.
He expects to have it ready for intro
duction in the House this week.
A bill introduced by Representative
j. j. McSwain of South Carolina,
providing for leasing, improvement
and operation of Washington Air
port as terminal pending selection
by commission of five members Of
a permanent airport for Washington,
has been referred to the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee, of which Mr..
McSwain is chairman.
MIR. McSwain is opposed to the use
OF the Gravelly Point area for a COM
mercial airport, considering it too
close to Boiling Field for safety In
bad weather.
The bills of Senator Gibson and
Representative Smith are expected
to be referred to the Senate and House
District Committees, respectively.
Fund Request Studied.
The request of the local Army en-
gineer Office for a p. w. A. allotment
for Gravelly Point, it is understood,
has been referred to officers of Gen.
Markham's staff for further study
before the general decides to send
the request along to Public Works
Administrator Ickes or to table it. :
Mr.. Miller said that the special
meeting of his Board Of Trade COM
mittee will be called to consider the
P. w. A. loan, the McSwain bill and
any other local airport legislation
then pending, with a view to making
to the full board for
a declaration Of policy on the local
airport matter.

District liquor dealers, of all classes,
must have on display at their estab-
lishments on or before midnight of

and asked that the conviction be set
aside. The case would then be sent
back to the lower court and nolle
pressed. 1t was announced. Mr.. Cum
mings expressed the belief the de-
PENDANTS are innocent and stipulated
that his confession of error should
"supersede all prior briefs and argu-
ments submitted on behalf of the
United States"
An interesting feature of the case
is the inclusion by the Attorney Gen.
eral in his brief of a statement con-
corning the length of time required
by two Department of Justice agents
to drive from Washington to Here
ford, Md.
The defendants contended at the
trial that they were in Hereford on
the morning of the fire at approxi-
mately $50 o'clock. which would have
been virtually impossible had they
been in Washington when the fire
started shortly after am.
Testimony Excluded.
The prosecution then made an at
Tempt to prove through fire inspector
that the trip could have been made
in the elapsed time, but Trial Justice
Peyton Gordon excluded the testimony.
Government evidence excluded at a
trial cannot be considered on appeal.

Miss McCollam is a very beautiful

TRAFFIC CAMPAIGN
FINES ARE $9D2
Full House in Court as Po-
lice Continue Drive on

The police drive on speeders, reck-
less drivers and motorists who dis
regard the new early morning ban on

several others on minor charges
Eighty-four forfeited collateral on
various parking charges.
Since only one case was reached
involving violation of the ban on
am. to 8 am. parking. the prospect
is that Traffic Court will be crowded

ticketed during the drive. The ban
on certain streets originally was de-
signed to facilitate snow removal, but
the drive against violations has gone
ahead despite the absence of snow
since January L.
