Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1936-11-06

For the past six weeks, there has
been a campaign in the Snow Hill
High School for the purpose of in
creasing the membership of the ath-
letic ASSOCIATION.
The campaigning was run on per
centage basis in the various home
rooms. At the end of each week, the
captain in each room figured up the
percentage which was posted on the
bulletin board in order that each pu-
pill could see which room was leading.
The campaign ended Friday, Octob-
er 30, 1886. The senior room had a
very high percentage of 92.3@o. The
junior room ranked next with 72.4%.
Next stood the sophomore room with
1910. The freshman room had $3.50.
The Commercial department took the
lowest percentage Of $40.
1t was decided at the beginning of
this contest that the room having the
lowest percentage would be respon-
sible for giving party for the men,
bers of the athletic association. This
year it is certain that a splendid time
will be furnished for all, as has been
done in previous years.
To become a member of the asso-
citation, one pays seventy-five cents.
In turn, he receives an athletic card
which will admit him to all basbet-
which will admit him to all basket
played at Snow Hill.

but they need additional protection.
Bottle fed babies are not protected a.
gainst it, and it is very essential that
the protective fruit juice be added to
their diet.
"The fruit juice should be given
twice a day beginning when the baby
is month old, continuing throughout
the first year, OF longer according to
your doctors orders.
eff orange juice is used, begin with
a half tablespoonful of the juice di-
luted with an equal amount of water.
The amount should be slowly increas-
ed until the baby is getting a table
spoonful twice day. Strained toma-
to juice, either fresh or canned is al
so effective as protection against
scurvy. If tomato juice is used begin
with tablespoonful of the juice and
increase gradually to two tablespoon
fuls. No water need to be added to
the tomato juice. The fruit juice
should be given between the other
feelings.

BABIES DEVELOP
SCURVY UNLESS
DAILY TREATED
Certain Fruit Juices Are Recon-.
mended By Chief OF The
Bureau Child Hygiene

Babies are like sailors in certain
respects, according to DR.. J. H. M.
Knox, Jr., Chief of the Bureau of
Child Hygiene of the State Depart
ment of Health. Both develop sour
Wy if they are not protected against
that disease through the daily use
of certain fruit juices. That is the
reason, DR.. Knox explained, why so
much emphasis is laid on the addition
of orange or tomato juice to baby's
diet. They are necessities not lux
uries.
"Scurvy is not catching "Dr. Knox
continued. ''It is not germ disease.
1t is a nutritional disease that is
caused by the lack of a certain neces-
sary element-which scientists call a
vitamin-in the diet. Oranges and to
matoes are very rich in that particu-
lar vitamin and have proved to be es-
pecially effective in protecting babies
from this disease.
The baby starts out on the voyage
of life equipped with a certain re-
serve amount of the scurvy prevent
ing vitamin. But the stock has to be
regularly replenished. If the supply
runs very low, the baby is restless and
fretful and begins to show the char
acteristic symptoms of scurvy. AS
the disease progresses, the bones and
joints, the gums and other parts of
the body are involved. The condition
is often mistaken for rheumatism.
There is intense pain and suffering.
ITO safeguard them from this di-
sease all babies whether breast fed
or bottle fed should be given orange
juice or tomato juice daily. Babies
who are nursed by their mothers get
a certain amount of protection against
the disease in their mothers milk,

measure of the Snow Hill hooters to
the tune of GO. 1t seems that, on
foreign ground, the S. H. H. S. team
lacks the fight and scoring punch so
necessary to winning combination.
They spent most of the first half pro-
tecing their own goal from the on
slaught of the much improved Stock
ton forward line. Even this was not
much of success as the half ended
with the score 20 in favor of Stock
ton.
The second half found the visitors
more on the attack than before, but
enthusiasm and fight were still lack
ing. Twice the boys from Stockton
carried the ball thru the Snow Hill
goal with apparent ease and had they
been quick to take ADVANTAGE of sew
eral easy chances the score would prob
ably have been embarrassing to the
Snow Killers. Time-out was called
for Snow Hill when only five minutes
Of play yet remained. When the
whistle to resume play was blown,
there seemed to be a changed Snow
Hill team-fired with determination.
They carried the ball Immediately to-
ward the enemy goal and a shot by
Townsend brought the score to 6-2,
thus preventing a humiliating shut
out by Stockton.

SENIORS STUDY "THE MER-
CHANT OF VENICE

The seniors have enjoyed the play,
"The Merchant of Venice, for num-
Der of reasons. The major plot, in
volving Antonio, the merchant, and
Shylock, the Jew, shows why personal
tiles clash. The minor plots, woven
around the story of the caskets and
the elopement of Jessica, held the in
terest of everyone. The class found
in this play many illusions to the
Bible, and to mythology. The lines
were filled with well chosen figures
of speech. Strong contrasts in the
characters were brought out.
