MEETING OF THE
WELFARE BOARD
ON LAST TUESDAY
Special Days For Registrations
Arranged For Today In
POcOmOke, 8 To IL
ENLARGED PROGRAMMES
CONTINUED BY THE BOARD

The Worcester County Welfare
Board held it's regular meeting IL
Snow Hill on Tuesday afternoon, Jan
uary 7, 1886.
Due to decreased funds, the Board
decided that no further cases contain
ing employable persons would be
opened for relief. This means that
emergency relief is practically at an
end in Worcester County and that
able-bodied persons eligible for re.
lief must be taken care of by Works
Progress Administration and private
employment.
The enlarged program of child well
fare, care Of the aged and unemploy-
ables, supervision of parole and pro-
baton, aid to the blind and to Grip
pied children, etc., will be continued
by the County Welfare Board.
All applications will be investi-
gated as heretofore, and able-bodied
persons found eligible will be certi-
fled and referred to the Works Pro-
gress Administration and National
Unemployment Service offices in Sal
isbury for placement on Works Pro-
gross Administration projects.
1t is absolutely necessary that all
able bodied persons in families, who
are now, or have been on relief, shall
be registered with the National Re-
employment Service before being plac-
ed on Works Progress Administration
projects. Special days for such reg
istrations have been arranged for
today (Friday) as follows:
Friday, January 10, Pocomoke,
from 9 A. NJ, to IL noon.
Friday, January 10, Snow Hill, from
1 P. M. to 2:30 P. M.
Friday, January 10, Berlin, from 8
P. M. to 5 P. M.
1t is realized that some persons
have already registered, but it is also
a fact that demands are being made
upon the Worcester County Welfare
Board to have a considerable number
re-register. This is through no fault
of the Worcester County Welfare
Board, but is required by the two Sal
isbury offices.
The names of all employable per-
sons not registered with the National
Unemployment Service by the end of
the week will be removed from the
list of eligibles for Works Progress
Administration work placements.

Liquor Control Board
Must Pay Sales Tax

The case recently referred to in the
columns of the the Democrat" rela-
tive to the claim for tax exemption
made by the Worcester County Liquor
Control Board was settled on Wednes-
day in the Anne Arundel Circuit
Court, in favor of the State. The dis
pensaries will have to pay the sales
tax.
The point at issue was whether the
Dispensaries were operated for gain,
or for the control of the sale of in
toxicants. The court ruled them to be
private enterprises. In the eyes of
the law the Board of Control is the
same as "person," and must pay
the tax.
Wicomico and other counties oper-
ating dispensaries were affected by
the decision.

ANNUAL DINNER
OF LOCAL FIRE
DEPARTMENT
Held In Municipal Building On
Wednesday Evening Of
This Week

The annual banquet of the POGO
moke City Volunteer Fire Department
was held in the Municipal Building or
Wednesday evening of this week, and
it was, as usual, most successful
affair. The dinner was served by the
Ladies' Auxiliary and consisted OF
turkey and all the fixin's.
About 35 members of the company
were present. Chief James F. Dry
den, now located temporarily in Cam
bridge, made special trip for the
occasion, and served as POSTMASTER
for the after-dinner speeches.
Invited guests present were: Hon
Clarence E. Robertson, member of the
General Assembly from Worcester;
Charles l.. Mason, County Commits
sioner; Ray V. Gladding, Pocomoke's
Mayor; R. Harlan Robertson and Will
liam H. Dryden, members City Coun-
Gil DR.. A. A. Parker and Edward J
Clarke. All these made short in
spring speeches, as did also Stanley
G. Bayly, honorary member of the
Department.
Pocomoke is indeed fortunate in
having such an efficient fire-fighting
force. Few people realize just what
fire protection means, and to pre-
serve such an one as the city has
should be the end and aim of every
citizen. These annual festivities are
but a small recognition of the real
value of the Company. They are Soc
ial but really sustain the morale of
the boys. They are get-together oc
casions and are necessary part of
the years program.

Well, Sir, I see by the papers that
my old friend, Governor Harry Nice,
wants the good people of Maryland
to hold their horses for awhile. He
doesn't want anything said about that
fine example of prediction economy
he talked so much about when he was
campaigning-the remodeled Cover
nor's Mansion. He wants everybody
to sit tight until it is finished. Then
B'gosh! they can say what they darn
ed please, he will be "sittin' purity"
Wonder what good he thought criti-
cism was going to do, when the $780,
600 economical monster is given 9
clean bill of health by the contrac.
tors ct al, and Harry moved in and
his hat hung up. AS it is now, there
might be some chance that this extra
session of the General Assembly will
take lesson from some of the opera
tors down in this neck of woods, and
give that Mansion proposition real
honest-to-goodness bypass" There's
no tellin'; so, Harry, you'd better get
some of these folks to soft-pedal a
bit, or you'll have to occupy a bo'din'
house in Annapolis this winter.

Addresses

The Woman's Club of Pocomoke

K. Lang, in the chair.
After short business session the
meeting was turned over to Mrs. John
T. Riley, chairman of the program.
who presented her subject "Women
of the Bible and Modern Women y
Rev. P. w. Crosby, pastor of the M.
P. Church, gave an interesting and in
structive talk on "Women of the
Bible" From the old Testament he
gave vivid pictures of "Eve," Gre
bekah", Miriam, "Delilah", Ruth
and others. From the new Tesla
ment he brought his audience face to
face with the problems of Mary, the
Mother of Jesus, and those outstand-
ing characteristics of Mary Magda-
lene. Mr.. Crosby's talk was enjoyed
by all and he made it very clear that
women" have always played an i'm
portant part in the world and it's af-
fairs.
Rev. J. A. Ditto, pastor of the Bap-
fist Church gave a splendid talk on
the Modern Women" by bringing out
the fact that no matter how modern,
she is the same to-day as yesterday
and that her place has always been
in the home and concerning herself
with the welfare of the young in all
stages of life. Her mission is to look
after the youth, to shape and mold
the lives of the young and this should
be her duty and privilege as well as
a debt she owes society.
The Club greatly appreciated and
enjoyed the speakers of the after
noon.

'|Chirps'' ~
from the
Democrats Pen

Well, Sir, 1 took a short car ride
on Sunday last, down toward the
"Old Virginny" line-I've got little
sweetheart down that way, but it
isn't necessary for you people to
spread this, it might cause ructions.
On my way back, noticed that
sign, erected on the wayside by the
Snow Hill Chamber of Commerce.
It certainly was dressed up in it's
Sunday clothes. Been all painted up
getting ready to celebrate the first
shovel of dirt dug on the Pocomoke
bypass. 1t was concrete witness of
the interest manifested by the people
of the upper county in Pocomoke's
problem Of congestion. They SYM
pathized so keenly with our people
who had to suffer the annoyance of
waiting on the trade which might
come in the wake of traffic through
the streets, that these same up-coun-
tians We're willing to sacrifice them
selves to the extent of diverting said
traffic from Pocomoke and shooting
it right straight "thru" the county
seat and its more northern sister
Berlin; right "thru" it, make no mis-
take about that. Blessed angels; if
one looks right close, one might no
tice halos circling the heads of some
of our benefactors-self styled.
And I want you people to notice
the spelling-"t hru." Reckon that
spelling is the outcome of our friends
policy of relief in the matter of con-
gestion. Reckon the shortened form
was used to prevent congestion of
words on that sigma sort of bypass,
as it were, around the good old Anglo
Saxon spelling thorough" Look
out, boys, some of these tourists might
make mistake, and do just what that
sign says. They might travel right
thru, without dropping some. of their
shekels on the way.
Wonder what Salisbury is going to
do about this. That city has one of
these thru" signs just north of it,
advising people to travel south "thru"
Snow Hill. Pocomokians have the
consolation, anyhow, that Snow Hill
is not partisan in it's favors; she will
let just as many people come that
want to. She will receive them, COM
ing and going. The traffic can sweep
4.
and up from the South, and it can all
go "thru" Snow Hill streets all at
one time if it wants to, and there is
not word said about Congestion"
That word applies only to Market
street, Pocomoke City, Maryland. The
word is not in the vocabulary of up
per countians, so far as their streets
are concerned. "Thru" Snow Hill
and Berlin but put the yellow flag
on the doorway of Pocomoke.
Well, there's somebody responsible
for all this. Maybe, in some myster-
ious way, it can be found out who;
and there should be some way to en-
gineer bypass" around them,
when the somber days of Fall roll
around. I've known times when can
didates didn't care how congested the
ballot boxes were, so long as the
pasteboards didn't show any "by-
passes" around their names. But
those things are very easily made,
just as easy as the one around Po-
comoke, and it's the easiest thing in
the world to be human. Amt it?

happy married life.
December does not show up as a
month in which specially good aver
fages were made. Mrs. Pilchard says

500; Girdletree, 86.S; and Whaley-
vile, 86.3. The general average for
this group for December 1885, 87.6;

The colored schools did not show
up as well for December 1885 as for

Berlin leads but is only two tenths
ahead of Pocomoke. Berlin, SO; Po-
comoke City, 97.8; Snow Hill, GLIB
In the list of the remaining 26
schools, Pocomoke is No. with an
average of 94.1 as against SO for I'm
ionville, the leader. General average

MUNITIONS LEAVE
MEx|COFOR SPAIN
Fascist Sympathizers Pre-.
dict Shipment Will Never
Reach LoyaIists.
BY the Associated Press.

VERA CRUZ, Mexico, August az
A heavy cargo of war materials was
loaded last night on the Spanish liner
Magallanes amid ominous rumors it
would never reach loyal Spanish gov
ernment forces.
Fascist sympathizers here said the
ship and its freight of Mexican arms
and munitions would be fair game for
rebel bombing planes.
They declared 1t almost certainly
would be sunk, even If A cruise pas
sengers remained aboard. The pas
sengers, all from Catalan, Spain, were
ordered of by the Madrid govern
ment, however. They will be sent
home through New York.
Predict Dangers Ahead.
The Burgos revolutionary govern
ment, its partisans said. was aware
Of the ships movements. They pre-
dicted it would be impossible for the
Magallanes to elude rebel bombers
and war vessels.
The armaments came in two train
loads-39 cars in all-from Mexico
City. They were taken directly to
the dock alongside the liner and load
ing operations were started immedi-
ately.
The Spanish embassy, meanwhile,
reiterated it knew nothing Of the arms
shipment and denied it had acted as
purchasing agent. A spokesman
said the ships sailing date is entirely
in the hands Of Madrid.
The Mexican government unofficial
ly admitted the shipment would BE-
made.
Statement Is Expected.
Well-informed sources said the for
eign office would issue a statement
within three days explaining the rea-
sons for allowing it. Justification
would be found. it was said, on
grounds it was completely legal and
no more than could be expected of
the government under the circum-
stances
Sale Of arms by United States in
terests to Mexico while this nation
was fighting to suppress revolutions,
it was learned. probably would be
cited.
