CdIl COlllpiTe WlJll Uile UIuc YARN VI
Mr.. and Mrs. r. l.. Boget, former
Holtville ranch couple, RR stumbled
upon the story Sunday in San Diego.
After a losing struggle against
the depression, the Bogets left I'M
perial Valley and made a fresh,
albeit modest, start on the coast
with a small cafe. Gradually they
pyramided their capital until they
could expand to a newer, better
location. Last week they moved
to the new site and "risked all on
one turn of pitch and toss
Fearful of failure, the Bogets
opened their new place Saturday
night. Success meant more than
Hsassing triumph; it meant a new
Ease on life. Failure might mean
the end of hope.
Business started slowly, then pick
ed up beyond their fondest dreams.
BY o'clock the larder was bare
sold out. For Sunday the Bogets
doubled their feed supply. At $50,
when RR dropped in for dinner, the
cafe was packed. Five minutes later
the doors were closed and locked
no more food
RR left with warm feeling about
the heart, frank admiration for
courageous couple.
Cooperation
Newspapers have never been re
markable for their cooperation.
Most often the reverse. An indica-
ton of the trend of the times was
displayed last week, however, when
the Chicago American responded
promptly and efficiently to a Post
Press request for the photo of the
Imperial Valley All Stars softball
team now in Chicago for the ma
tional tournament. Paul jenkins,
publisher, wired Editor Florence Nc
for the matrix and per-
aission to publish. The request was
granted by return air mail. That's
long distance cooperation!
A Handy Man
Rudolph Miller is the perfect man
about the home, with an astonish-
ing talent for housekeeping. His
methods may not meet all require
mentS of home economics instruct
ors, however, for his system is to
pile all the furniture in one room
and pitch in with a hose. He had a
tough break this summer. He gave
the house a good working over with
the garden hose, anticipating visit
from his father-in-law Then his
father r-in-law postponed the trip.

New School Building
AT Calvert
County Commissioners Will
Provide Additional Funds

A new school building at Calvert,
to take the place of the structure
dstroyed by fire on the morning of
September 80 last, is assured by ac-
ton of the County Commissioners in
agreeing to furnish $4,000 from
the next levy for use of the Board of
Education, to supplement the sum in
hand, received from insurance, etc.,
about $4,000. The sum set aside
by the Commissioners, with funds
available, will make total of $685.
900. The architects stated this sum
would be sufficient to construct the
building, minus the auditorium in
the original plans.
The residents of Calvert will be
gratifed to know their new building
is assured, although it has been
necessary to sacrifice the auditorium
on account of lack Of funds.
The Calvert building has always
been much more than a school, it
has been a real community center,
affording a meeting place for num-
Der of local organizations, and being
a medium around which revolved
civic and social activities, as we'll as
an educational center.

DELAWARE PEACH CROP UN-
HARMED

Unless some adverse weather con-
ditiCns arrive between now and the
late spring months, prospects In
Delaware are very good for crop OF
peaches this year, according TO in
formation received at the office OF
Wilmer T. Derrickson, Director OF
the Bureau of Markets.
Few peaches were grown in Della
ware during the past two years be-
cause of adverse weather conditions
during the winter months which kill
ed the fruit before blossom time.
A number of peach orchards have
been watched closely TOR several
months and thus far no signs have
been found that would indicate any
damage to the crop for this year, ex-
cept some slight damage to the Hale
variety but at the present time this
is not serious.
The Delaware peach crop will not
be as large this year as in some
former years because some of the
growers took out their trees during
the past two years when there was
no yield of this fruit.

NATIONAL HEALTH WEEK

In cooperation with the various
committees for National Negro
Health Week the Maryland Tubercu-
Iosis Association sought the assist
ance of all the colored physicians,
ministers and teachers in the coun-
ties of the State in an effort to bring
the necessary knowledge concerning
tuberculosis to the people.
A package containing fundamental
information about the disease with
letter requesting that each person
cooperate with the committees was
sent. The literature stressed the
Importance of early diagnosis, the
danger signs that should be looked
for, and the importance of the
physician in the fight against the
disease.
tuberculosis is one of the worst
enemies of the colored people. The
colored death rate for the past year
in this state was 207.7 per 100000
population. Over 500 of these peo-
pie died of the disease last year, and
at this rate it is estimated that there
are approximately 5436 colored peo-
pie i'll with tuberculosis at the pres
ent time-some known and some
unknown.

flood-control program, based on
survey of damages to public struc-
lures in Maryland afflicted areas

measures, was recommended to Gov

tion."

Mrs. Emily Fisher, "a, was shot
and seriously wounded on the front
porch of her home near Charlestown
on Saturday. Shortly after she was
found another young married woman,
Mrs. Walter Gillespie, of Perryville,
surrendered to State Senator Harold
E. Cobourn.
Cecil county authorities, summon
ed by Cobourn, discovered Mrs.
Fisher lying on her front porch. She
had been shot in the neck, Deputy
Sheriff Lewis A. Seth reported.
Senator Cobourn, Mrs. Gillespie's
attorney, said his client came to his
office in "a most hysterical condi-
ton" and gave him pistol. He did
not question her at length, Cobourn
said, because of her overweight
condition.

c. & D. Canal Workers
Lose Jobs
Relief Funds Exhausted-Over
1000 Men Laid Off

More than 1900 men from Balti-
more and 800 from Wilmington,
Del, mostly laborers, were laid off
Wednesday from the U. S. Engineers
project on the Chesapeake and Della
ware Canal.
The reason given by the U. S. En-
gineer's office in Philadelphia for
the lay eff is the exhaustion of funds.
1t was said that one of the expensive
items in the project was transport
ing the laborers daily from Whining
ton and Baltimore respectively to the
canal.
The men had been engaged in
"hand labor operations" which con-
sisted of building banks around the
areas into which dredged material
had been pumped.
How the men will be absorbed in
to other lines of work is problem
yet to be solved by federal employ
ment agencies, including the United
States Employment Service and the
WPA.
The lay-off however does not in
clude men who are working OH the
C. and D. canal under private dredg-
ing contracts.
1t is expected many of the men
who have been laid Off will be abb
sorbed in highway construction
work.
