NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved
that this body in meeting assembled,
as the Retail Merchants Group of the
Eastern Shore Counties of Maryland,
notify the General Assembly of Mary

opposition of this group to either the
continuance of the present 10 re-

BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED,
that the body strongly advise the Gov

sembly instead of placing additional
taxes upon the shoulder of the already
overwhelmed taxpayers of the state,
to curtail the political spending that
now exists in many departments and
plan system of economy in govern
ment so that very little additional
revenue be necessary.
From the action of this meeting,
it would appear that those favoring
the present law, and will probably
work for its re-enaction have a stormy
time ahead to preserve the Sales Tax
Law.

talent very much. After this fight
was off the card for the particular
evening it was slated, information
came to Brittingham's folks that the
audience left the arena almost in &
body-the othd r set-tos seemed te
lose their drawing power. The con
clusion was that the kids" victory
struck somebody's pocket-book pretty
hetvily. The item in the Star-Bullet.
in read as follows:
"The biggest upset Of the even
ing was the KO j. l.. Drifting
ham, 3rd Engineers, administer
ed to Gunner Vivieros, Sth F. A.
junior weller, who should have
won his fight easily. In fact he
had won his fight in the first
round but in the second that I'M
accountable something happened
that turned the tables completely.
"Vivieros took the first round
handily with a pile of straight
lefts that opened cut on Brit
tingham's right cheek and threat
ened a TKO for Birmingham.
But in the second round Britting-
ham began placing his blows
more accurately, while Vivieros
began to go wild. In the middle
of the round Vivieros left himself
wide open for a moment and
Birmingham took advantage by
shooting a couple of quick one
twos to Vivieros' jaw and head
that had him on his knee for a
moment. Vivieros came up quick
ly, but he was staggering and
Birmingham placed a perfect left
hook to the jaw that put vi
vieros to sleep for long after the
count"
For this victory, Birmingham re-
ceives 6O-day leave of absence, with
all expenses paid either for a trip
to China or to his home. He has
chosen the latter and is now probab-
ly on his way home to Accomack.
