LOCAL PEOPLE
Are INJURED lin
AUTOlACCIDEN1
J. A. Davis And MIR. And Mrs.
w. A. HOblitZell Hurt Mon
day, Near WOOdside, Del.

Much anxiety was felt by friends
and acquaintance of Mr.. and Mrs.
William A. Hoblitzel, of this city,
when reports reached here that they
with Mr.. J. A. Davis, also of POGO
moke, had been injured in an auto
accident near Woodside, Delaware, on
Monday last.
The three were on their way to the
meeting of the Annual Conference of
the Methodist Protestant Church,
now in session at Westminster, Md,
Mr.. Hoblitzell being delegate from
Bethany Church, Pocomoke.
Newspaper reports stated that the
car, which Mr.. Davis was driving,
turned over twice owing to tire blow
out. All three were more or less hurt
and all were hurried to the hospital
at Dover, Delaware. First accounts
gave Mr.. and Mrs. Hoblitzell as "ser-
iously" injured, and Mr.. Davis as "cut
and bruised"
Subsequent information, however,
revealed that Mrs. Hoblitzell and Mr..
Davis were enabled to proceed to West
minister the next day, but Mr.. Hoblit-
zell, at this writing is still in the hos
pital. He is expected to be out short
ly. The many friends of those con-
cerned in the accident are relieved in
that no fatalities occurred.

GRADE CROSSINGS
in THIS CITY ARE
BEING NOTICED
Congressman GOldsbOrOugh No
titled That POcOmOke Is In
Line For Such Construction
NEARLY 2 MILLION DOL
LARS ALLOCATED TO STATE

Congressman Goldsborough, as ever,
is interesting himself in matters per-
tanning to the benefit of his District,
and the following letter shows him to
be looking after the very important
matter of either elementary railroad
grade crossings or rendering them
much safer for traffic:
United States Dept. of Agriculture
Bureau of Public Roads
Washington, D. c.
June 8, 1886
Honorable T. Alan Goldsborough,
House of Representatives.
NY dear Mr.. Goldsborough:
Reference is made to your recent
inquiry regarding statement of Fed
eral grade crossing funds apportioned
to the State of Maryland under the
Emergency Relief Appropriation Act
of 1885 and administered by this Bu-
reau and also the status of a grade
crossing project at Pocomoke City,
Maryland.
The Maryland State Roads Com
mission in accordance with the provis-
ions of the above Act has submitted
program of projects to utilize ST.
100000 or about 9O.2 per cent of it's
total apportionment of $2,061, Isl. The
program included project designa-
ted No. WPGH 46 eating for crossing
gates at the tracks of the Pennsylvan-
ia Railroad in Pocomoke City, esti-
mated to cost $4,000. Plans, speci-
fications and estimate for the project
have not been received in this office
and we understand the Commission
may desire to withdraw the project
and eradicate the funds to another
grade crossing project. We have no
definite information, however, that
such is the case.
1t is our understanding that new
Federal highway legislation under
which additional sums would be au-
thorized to be apportioned to the Sew
eral States for the fiscal years 1888
and 1889 for the elimination of haz-
ards to life at railroad grade crossings
including the separation or protection
of grades at crossings has been passed
by Congress and sent to the President
for signature. 1t is believed that the
grade crossing at Pocomoke City
would be eligible for Improvement
with these funds if the Act is approx
ed. Programs of projects to utilize the
new funds would be initiated by the
State Highway and sent to this Blu
reau for approval.
Copies of this correspondence are
being forwarded to our District Engi-
neer that he may know of your inter-
est in the matter.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) r. c. TOMS,
Acting Chief of Bureau.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1936-06-12

Present conditions, it is thought,
make definite and immediate action
necessary. There are several phases
of community interests which should
be seriously considered, if Pocomoke
is to be kept in line with daily devel-
cpment and, thereby, profit. Either
this is to be done, or commercial pres
tige will suffer. Every merchant and
other citizens should be alive to what
is transpiring and should leave moth
ing undone to promote the welfare Of
Pocomoke.
In order to discuss vital civic mat
tiers, it has been proposed that get
together dinner, costing only a nomi-
nal price, be held, to which invitations,
will be extended by committee, the;
members of which will assume the.
duty of visiting personally citizens on
a list submitted, urging big attend
ance. The tentative date for this is.
Wednesday next, June II.
At this dinner, there will be most
important discussions. No business
man can afford to be Indifferent.
These is some feeling that coming
events, not altogethes favorable to a
healthy development of Pocomoke, are
casting their shadows before them;
and unless sturdy action is taken, To-
cal interests are bound to suffer.
Just a few citizens met this week,
and informally decided that dilatory
tactiis at the resent time would be
fatal, and they thought all should
know how matters stand, and what
should be done to counterait untoward
indications.
Business Man, you will be called
upon to attend the dinner-conference.
You can't afford to absent yourself.
The times are threatening and you
should be aware of their import. At
tend and give your approval and sup
port of this evidence to help Pocomoke
move forward. Eeither this, or see
backward steps-no one wants such,
and it's up othe citizens to prevent
it. Come out to the dinner.

STATE DEPT. WILL
PROSECUTE ALL EGG
LAW VIOLATORS

It has come to the attention of
the State Dairy Division that there
are many merchants scattered over
the state that are unscrupulously
evading the state egg grading law.
In interviewing B. +. Thrailkill of
the Dairy Division, on this sub
ject, he said:
eve have lately been notified
that great many merchants are
nisinforming the public by selling
eggs as Fresh Standards. This
word "Fresh" should not be used
In selling eggs. A Standard egg
is a third grade egg and must be
sold as such. In some instances
merchants are displaying Specials,
Extras and Standard eggs at the
same price and letting the con-
sumner take his choice. Where con-
Sumers are not informed as to the
quality definitions of these various
grades, they invariably buy Stan
dards, believing that anything
marked Standard is a superior
product"
During the last legislative ses-
sion a "Truth-in-Advertising'' law
was passed which states that ag-
products must be marked
and sold by their true grade. Be-
cause of the laxness of Montana
merchants in obeying this law. in
spectors of the State Dairy Di-
vision have been notified to pick
Up all offenders Immediately and
see that the stores of this state
conform to the letter of the law.
For the benefit of the public"
Mr.. Thrailkill stated, "I wish to |
again announce that Special eggs
are first quality eggs, Extras are
second quality, Standards are third |
quality, and Trades are Fourth |
quality eggs"
