 THE MAN AROUND TOWN

rick's day brings to mind the hectic times In Waterbury, when Johnny Ray and his com pany would come here in "A Hot Old Time" The Rays staged the show for years and on each succeeding appearance in Waterbury there was more and more agitation against the production. Some of the Irish societies were very much Op- posed to It. When they could get no redress from the au- thOrities, they decided to take a shot at Johnny themselves. On several occasions they went to Jacques and st0rmed the stage with plenty of fruit, fresh and dccayed. They were aided and abetted by lots of boys who were prompted more by their desire to hurl head of cabbage then they by their Celtic pa triOtism. Johnny Ray got quite kick out of 1t himself and 1t seemed to me as though he went out of his way to egg on his Waterbury audience. After getting shOwercd with veget- ables, he would stick his head out in front of the curtain and flip a remark that would make the audience more than mad. He and his side kick, Frank Labor said they always enjoyed their visit to Waterbury. Guess 1t was true because they laughed their heads off back stage. Attorney Charles O'COn- nor. corporation counsel. and the late Joe Bergin did plenty of pelting with the boys from the Waterbury Drug store.

Jacques did even a bigger busi- ness when 1t was later turned into @ vaudeville house. Almost every body, who was anybody. could be found there on Monday evening. They would have the same seats each week, and the ticket sellers received all kinds of criticism if by any chance the seats of the regulars were passed out to anybody else There was an added attraction on Monday night. Ben Piatt, press man of the Democrat, and the late Jim Phelan. the tea man. had laughs that could be heard all over the house. When Piatt stopped, Mir Phelan started.

spent many pleasant hours in the old Harvey establishment. The late Joe Daly, who starred not only in pool but also in three cushion billiards. would occasionally drop in with Charley Seabach, who at that time was known as the Syrian Kid. The latter went on to establish himself in national circles as a pool player, now of course termed pocket bil- lizards. Hodson's billiard room had an atmosphere all it's own. It was a rarity to see a game of pool there.

The eight other reasons given
by DR.. Ballou as adequate"
grounds for prohibiting q period

Other magazines Of like kind
are preferable educationally.

DEBATE
BY SCHOOL SENIORS

Quite an interesting debate was held
on Monday last, at the Pocomoke City
high school, between two teams Sc
lected from the Senior class. The
subject for discussion was: Resolved,
That Competitive Armies and Navies
afford no real Security.
The affirmative side was defended
by Raymond Dryden and Nancy
Schoolfield, with rebuttal by Ralph
Ross. The negative by Eddie Ross
and Norman Allen with rebuttal by
Edward Pope.
The affirmative, broadly speaking,
took the ground that there might be
no end to competition and the strong
est at any one period would always
win, and that in that competition there
was no guaranteed security. The
negative contended that wars seem to
be unavoidable and the only security
obtained was by strong armies and
navies.
The judges, Misses Ethel Dix and
Elizabeth Mills of the local high
school faculty, and DIR. E. ]. Clarke,
of the "Worcester Democrat" rendered
a decision for the Affirmative side.
The students acquitted themselves
with great credit and there is no
more effective method in education
than a debate which enables one to
think and talk while standing before
an audience.

ment to tax payers"
Mr. Wise repeated the recommen-
dations of farmers for a state in
come tax and luxury taxes as the
basis for the new tax program. These
taxes are the fairest guide to ability
to pay new taxes, according to the
sponsors of the program recommend
ed by the farm groups.
Farmers will oppose the adoption
of a sales tax because it rests on those
least able to pay" Mr.. Wise said. eff
agreement cannot be reached other
wise, the sales tax should be consid-
cred only as an emergency measure,
to be used only until fairer and
more scientific method can be worked
out"
