er at last Thursday nights meeting
of the Salisbury Rotary Club, in a

it might be passed on to succeeding
generations in it's present form.
Characterizing Americans as an
impatient people," pointing out that
all had left other countries because
Of dissatisfaction of some sort, he
urged that haste be withheld in over
throwing the basic principles of our
government, abiding indirectly to one
amendment passed and then repealed.

changes the form of government
and methods, rather than any violent
overthrow of our Country, that we
must fear" General Grants descend

Both passenger car and truck ca

600 feet deep and two 400 feet deep.

Eight to ten weeks was estimated
originally as the length of time which
would be required to complete the en-
tire project but the dredging company
officials report the sand is showing
an unusual degree of hardness that
will probably retard the dredging.
Land for the spoil has been made avail
able through the cooperative force of
the property owners along the water
way and the Mayor and business men
of Onancock.
The supplementary project which
proposes to dredge anchorage basins
and extend the channel into the prongs

now awaiting the decision of the Board

Uncle Sans palm must be

the rumOrS that as soon as the
worlds currencieS are stabilized,
Europe cOntemplateS making a
settlement of the war debts
So far, their promises to pay
have been as wet as the opening
day of a Worlds Series.
Apparently, these powers over
there have come to the concIu.
sion they can afford to buy a
little good will, now that most
of them have laid aside the
down payment on another war.
Judging from the way that
debt payment keeps being post
pOned, it looks as if, when the
MayfIOwer left Europe, she
brought about all the early set
tiers.
Oh well, it's our own fault!
We should have been satisfied
with that old adage about cast
ing your bread upon the water,
instead of trying to throw our
dough across it.
