stayed long time and loft
when l got good and ready
To repeat everything that was
said would take too much time and
space. 1 was the one who did
most of the talking, and AMONG
other things I said something ill.,
this: NM
"Out there in the WAITING room,
there are lot of people conoino,
and going every day. Thew are on
relief and they are all nv friends
and they all hate you. The long
er you stay, the worse thew hate
you. If you enjoy being as mean
ana as un1alr to my family as YOU
possibly can, Just hop to it. I do
not think that I am the one los
ing by it."
College Graduates
Another college graduate had To
butt in (you probably did not know
that in order to be a case worker
you must be college graduate)
and accused me of playing poll
tics and writing things for the ma
per that were not true. said n
him, and to anybody else who
wanted to listen in, something like
this:
politics! You are the people
who are playing politics, and YOU
don't know the first thing about
how to play it. You were sent in
here in the first place to try and
half way satisfy the people of
Sheridan county. You were sent
here to be at least half way fair
to the people and treat them all
alike, regardless of politics. You
were sent here to try and keep the
so-called Red movement down in
Sheridan county. You were sent
here to create better feeling a.
mong the people here towards the
government. That's what you peo-
pie are getting paid for, and that's
what you are supposed to be do
ing.
"You are doing everything YOU
can to be as mean and as unfair
to these people as possible. You
are enjoying dealing out misery
and keeping as many of US as you
can on the starvation point, and
keeping away from Sheridan coun-
ty to what we are rightffully en-
titled. You are doing everything
you possibly can to create among
the people of Sheridan county a
hatred towards the government
that has employed you and that
you are supposed to be represent
ing. In the short time you have
been here you have created more
Reds" than others have been able
to in the last 10 years. That's the
kind of politics that you are play
ing, because you do not know any
better, and if you want to keep on
that way, just hop to it. Political
ly, we have no objection" l ex-
planned.
eff there is anything printed
that you feel is not so, and that
should be corrected, all you have
to do is to sit down and write just
what you want printed, sign your
name to it, and we will print ev-
cry word of it, and it will not cost
you cent" I said and left.

BERLIN EDITOR
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
LAST WEDNESDAY
Returning To Berlin From Sal
isbury, Crashes Into Pole
Or Tree Reported

Returning to Berlin from Salisbury,
on Wednesday night Of last week, af-
ter attending the stag banquet of the
Eastern Shore Travelling Mems AS
ISOLATION, Editor Holcombe, of the
Berlin Times" is reported to have
met with rather serious auto acct
dent-so far as the auto is concerned.
1t is said that a pole or a tree
moved over into the centre Of the
road, thereby unavoidably causing a
collision, all to the disadvantage of
the motor vehicle. 1t was pretty
badly smashed up, but miraculously,
the occupants escaped without bodily
injury.
This is not the first instance of
trees moving. In Shakespeare's Mac
beth, the "Apparition" seeks to con-
sole Macbeth by saying: Macbeth
shall never vanquished be, until Great
Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill
shall come against him." To which
Macbeth replies: "That will never be !;
who can impress the forest, bid the
tree unfix his earth-bound root !?
Sweet bodements good! Rebellious
head rise never till the wood of Bir-
nam rise, and our high-placed Mac
beth shall live the lease of nature
pay his breath to time and mortal
CUSTOM"
Those familiar with the progress of
the great tragedy remember that the
Birnam wood did really go to Dun
shame, and Macbeth died fighting
with Macduff.

OLD REHOBOTH
CHURCH TO BE
RE-MODELED
Plans Announced For RestOra-
ton Of This Early Seat
Of Presbyterianism

The Rev. Herman Bichof, pastor
of Old Rehoboth Presbyterian Church.
has announced plans for the restora-
ton of the old edifice to it's condition

els Makemie-Father Of Presbyter.
ianism in America.
Old Rehoboth Church was COM
pleted in 17O8 by the Rev. Francis
Mackenzie, pioneer Presbyterian min
lister in the Coloniesj The only
church building positively known to
have been planned and constructed by
Mackenzie, it is regarded as the cradle
of Presbyterianism in America.
The Somerset county congregation
plans to preserve the building exact
ly as it's founder left it, more than
two hundred years ago.
Hand-hewn cypress shingles, to be
hewn from wood taken from the
swamps of the Pocomoke, will be a
feature of the restoration, such shin
giles having been used in the origin
al structure.
Handmade cypress shingles now
are rare, there being few persons
familiar with their manufacture.
However, there are still to be found
those who knew the secret and they
will be pressed into service when the
roof to the old church is repaired.
The construction of memorial park
and additional land for this purpose
has already been secured. A statute
to Mackenzie will be erected, and a
marker placed at the grave of Col.
William Stevens, who wrote to the
Presbytery of Laggan, Ireland, asking
that preacher be sent to the Pres
byterians here.-Eastern Shore Re-

WPA ADVISES
WORK STARTS
ON PROJECTS
POcOmOke City ArmOry Will Re-
ceive Federal Funds To
The Amount Of $6,276
CROSSING GATES WILL
INVOLVE $4,000 COST

The Baltimore Evening Sun, of
Tuesday last, has the following to say
concerning state road constructions:
Work should be started by Deem
Der Is on road projects agreed on by
the State Road Commission and the
Public Works Administration, said
Nathan l.. Smith, chief engineer Of the
Roads Commission, in discussing the
projects today.
Chief features of the projects,
which involve the expenditure of
$3,225,000, are: Continuation of the
dual highway on the Annapolis Boule-
ward from Furnace ranch to Lipin's
Corner, $1,O0O,OO0; creation of new
route to Washington by way of Ed
mondson avenue, Old Frederick road,
the National pike and the Columbia
pike, $1,e00,0O0; alternate highway
between Frederick and Hagerstown,
S., 900 600; replacement of Guilford
avenue bridge over Pennsylvania rail-
road, $175,000; bypass at Pocomoke
City to allow traffic from Virginia
to reach Delaware via Snow Hill and
Berlin by more direct route, approxi-
mately $4,000.
This program, only a part of the
State Roads Commissions program,
represents the solution of the diff
culties which arose from the objection
IF the Federal authorities to thS use
of Federal funds on the AnrF polls,
Boulevard project.
The State has agreed to construct.
that improvement entirely out of
State funds, the rest of the program
to be accomplished out of $2,225,00
to which the State contributes ST.
225,OOO and the Federal Government
$1,OOO,OOO.
Approval by Comptroller General j.
Raymond McCarl is necessary before
it will be possible to advertise the
work. But it is said that his approval
is likely to come within the next few
days. Mr.. Smith thinks that it will
thus be possible to start the work
around December Is.
The new route to Washington con-
templates the use of Edmondson ave-
nue., the Old Frederick road, the Ma
tional Pike and other highways to
connect with the Columbia Pike with
out entering Ellicott City. 1t would
cross the Patapsco rver at Union Dam
and make connection between the
National Pike and the Columbia Pike
several miles west of Ellicott City.
And it involves a connection between
the Columbia Pike and the Washing
ton Boulevard.
Bids on four Embarrassing pro-
jects now being advertised are to be
received early in December. They are
crossing of the B. & o. at Dorsey,
crossing of the Pennsylvania at Har-
mons, crossing of the Pennsylvania
at Edgewood, crossing of the Western
Maryland at Sabillasville.
Mr.. Smith was asked when work
would be begun on eliminating the
grade crossing at Rockville, where a
Baltimore and Ohio train struck a bus
filled with school children on April
II of this year and killed fourteen. He
that he hoped to be able to
advertise this within the next week
n two.

PET PIGEONS ACT AS
BODY GUARD TO MASTER

George, pet pigeon of Corporal G.
James Burlington, of the Del. State
Police, raised from a downy found
ling, acts as a watchdog in the Buff.
fington household at Claymont. Now
eight years old, the pigeon fears
neither man, can nor mouse and at
tacks strangers, human or animal
with ferocious Tapping of its
wings.
The surprise Of a milk man, who
attempted to deliver milk to the
Burlington apartment before daylight
recently when he was greeted by vio-
lent Tapping of wings is an example
Of Georges method. Mrs. Buffing-
ton explained that George greets all
strangers that come up the steps to
the apartment.
The pigeon was adopted by the
Buffingtons as a pit when the father
and mother pigeons were frightened
away from their nest by cat. He
was fed by hand and for the past
eight years has been a pet in the
house. George is SO conscientious
that he will not even let Tiny, small
pet dog of the Buffingtons, leave the
yard. The pigeon launches a flying
attack on the dog if he attempts to
wander too far afield.
George makes the rounds with the
garbage man, riding on his shoulder.
The Buffingtons have moved three
times in the past eight years and
each time George has moved with
them.
