WOMAN'S CLUB
MEI.ON WE'D.
FEBRUARY )
Matters Pertaining To Civic
Welfare Were Discussed
And Action Taken
LIST OF IMPROVEMENTS
SANCTIONED BY CLUB

The Woman's Club of Pocomoke
City held it's monthly meeting We'd
nesday afternoon of last week with
the president, Mrs. John K. Lang pre-
siding. This session was confined
strictly to business. Mrs. Grady Pow
ell outlined plans for the banquet
on the 18th giving the names of the
speakers and asked for a full attend
ance.
Under new business of the Club sew
eral members spoke extemporaneously
voicing their sentiments about the
new projects, hanging fire at present,
for the development of our city. IN
Ger old business there was regret ex-
pressed about one measure for which
the Woman's Club has striven in vain
for ten years, to bring about, namely,
free garbage collection. Pocomoke is
unjustly far behind other towns of
less size in this matter. Another
vain effort of the club is obtaining an
annual appropriation by the town for
the upkeep of the Pocomoke Public
Library.
With talks from Mrs. William H.
Schoolfield, Mrs. Roger w. Landlord,
and Mrs. R. Lee Hall, strongly sup
porting this movement a motion was
finally made and unanimously car
ried that
We, the members of the Woman's
Club Of Pocomoke do solemnly re-
solve that we go on record as stand
ing behind the Administration who
will use their influence toward Sc
curing, and endorsing in their plat
form, the following measures for Po-
comoke City:
1. Free Garbage Collection.
2. Annual Library Appropriation
8. Municipal Building with one
room reserved in which to house Po-
comoke Public Library, Inc.
A. Public Park.
5. Colored School.
The meeting was marked for it's
friendliness of feeling and earnestness
of purpose, and the members of the
Woman's Club will carry out their
intention to support those persons
who will stand behind the measures
which mean Progress for Pocomoke. "

OTHERS VIEWS
HUMAN BEINGS ARE so AT
FLICTED WITH THE INFALLl-
BILITY COMPLEX

10 the EDITOR:
Why is It that men have the asinine
quality of being so self-conscious of
their own mental powers? That ques-
ton has perplexed me for a long time
Oh, yes, it is true. It is SO per cent
pure truth.
The psychological prognosis of the
disease is that the other fellow knows
nothing. Men speak with a tone Of
finality and in their vocabulary there
seldom sneaks so trite a phrase as
ut is my solution" and it doesn't adj
nit of argument. 1t is in every chan
mel of mans endeavor brother, in
spirit of the men who laughed at
Columbus, Fulton, they who knew the
first steamboat would burn. One thing
we can be sure of is that when Presi-
dent F. d. Roosevelt leaves the White
House, the country will not be on the
verge of collapse. Where would we
be if it were not for his quick action
in the banking situation? But what's
the use?
We are confronted with a situation
in this state now, that requires quick
action-tobacco and old age security
"a session is needed now to keep this
state in the path of prosperity The
1T can't be done" artists are still
with us, and, as Andy said "They will
continue to punch the time Clock

ANSWERS

1. He was encouragement from
1909 to 1916 when he received the no.
mInatlon and was elected governor.
After serving his term as chief exc
cutive, Governor Beckett died Deem
Der %, 1921
2. In his message to the legislature
Of 1854 Governor David S. Reid ask
ed for a constitutional amendment re-
moving the requirement of ownership
of fifty acres of land as a qualifica-
ton to vote for a state senator. He
said, Every candid mind must ad-
NIT that fifty acres of land does not
endow it's owner with knowledge, nor
does it impart TO him virtue or pa
triotism, when he goes to the ballot
box"
3. Governor Thomas Bragg reported
to the legislature in November 1856
that the delivery of the North Caro-
lima Code, which was to have been de-
livered by the first of January, could
not be shipped from Boston where the
books were printed because of "the
severity of last winter"
4. The following is quoted from the
Tarboro SOutherner: "FIe is the vilest
man that ever polluted public office
and his crimes are now crying in
trumpet tones against him. Impeach
the Traitor, the Apostate, and the
Renegade, and drive him into the in
famous oblivion which is so justly his
due"
5. Yadkinville, the county seat of
Yadkin county, prior to December Is,
1852, was known as "Wilson.' In
Edgecombe county was another town
by the same name. Confusion of mails
brought about the change. When Will
son county was formed from Edge
combe in 1855 the town of Wilson be-
came the county seat of that county.
6. In the campaign of 1874 in which
the North Carolinian was elected
President of the United States, the
wings claimed that Ezekiel Polk, his
grandfather, was a tory. The Demo
Gratis claimed that he was a signor Of
the Mecklenburg Declaration of indie
pendence, and therefore was not a
tory. The wings then claimed that any
copy Of that sacred document which
bore the name of Ezekiel Polk was a
forgery.

March II, 1702-Samuel Buckley, it's
editor announced in the first issue of
the earliest English-language daily
newspaper-the Courant, London
that he would not take it upon him
self to give any comments of his own.
He was an editor who wouldn't edi-
torialize.
The first issue didn't have any news
about England either.
March II, 1S11-Urbain Leverrier
was born in ST. Lo, Normandy. He
was IS when he discovered the planet
Neptune without seeing it,! After
complex calculations based upon the
discrepancies in the motion of the
planet Uranus, he wrote to his friend
J. C. Gale, at Berlin observatory, de-
claring that an unrecorded planet
would be found at a certain spot in
the heavens at a certain hour on a
certain night. Gale found the pre-
diction correct.
1t developed later that young
Englishman, ]. c. Adams, had worked
out the same computation before Lee
verrier, and had reported it to an
English observatory The observers
wouldn't believe him!
March II, 1847 Johnny Appleseed
one of the most remarkable men in
U. S. history, died. This Harvard
graduate born Jonathan Chapman,
was buried under a tall spruce tree
along the bank of ST. Joe River, two
and a half miles from Fort Wayne,
Ind. Thousands of fruitful appletrees
in Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio
were his monuments.
Barefooted and clad in sackclOth,
Bible in hand, he had walked from
settlement to settlement on the from
tier, preaching Kindness to every liv-
ing thing" and planting apple seeds.
He made annual trips across humid
reds of miles to Pennsylvania cider
mills to get the seeds.

greater now than in 1880, when the
total resources amounted to only $500,

any time during the past five years.
This total Of the resources of all

DAYS OF WINTER.

This winter has been so unusual
Most of them are very mild:
This year we have had so much rough
weather,
So much more than we have ever.
Some nights around seven or eight
Up in the world so high
million of little tiny snow flakes
Out of the grey clouds would fly.
They would fall on hills and plains
And for some folks mean terrible
pain;
But for others, big snow man
Would be all that they wanted on
hand.
The little birds too were caught un-
prepared
Only except the shelter that the
trees BORE
And for them it meant bitter cold
Weather like it was, in days of old

ITS THE WATER

This :ssuo Of the Spokesman con-
tains an exceptionally large beer
ad ard was given to us to mark the
fortieth anniversary of the Olympia
Brewing Company. That birthday
is today, and so this ad tells of the
merit that has enabled this enter
prising company to endure and to
expand to it's position of present
re-eminence in its field.
Well known as this company is,
it's fame is probably exceeded by a
slogan, always associated with O.
lynpia Beer: "It's The Water"
But that slogan might well have
been: cts the Family" for the sto-
ry of Olympia Beer is essentially the
story of a family, a family of ira
dition-the tradition of fine beer
making.
Leopold Schmidt, the first brewer
of the family, founded the old Cen
tennial Brewing Company in Butte,
Montana, in 1876. He attended the
Lehman Brauer Schulz in 1878, at
Worms, on the Rhine, Germany, re-
turning to develop the largest brew
ing business in Montana, and to
hold a seat in the legislature of his
state.
But a visit to the Washington
White Bluffs spokesman. [volume] (White Bluffs, Wash.) 1907-1938, 1936-10-01

State Legislature ended his Monta-
ma career. On this trip he discov-
cred springs of remarkable quality
at Tumwater and analysis showed
this water would make wonderful
beer. He returned to Montana and
sold his interests In Tumwater,
Washington he began the construc-
ton of the Olympia Brewery in
1895, the plant being opened and
the first beer shipped on October J.,
1896.
Leopold Schmidt had five sons,
each of whom is active in the beer
business today, and a daughter,
who, too, follows the family tradi-
ton. All are we'll educated and
rate high in the growing world. The
sons and daughters of the second
generation, too, are following in the
footsteps of their predecessors.
Breweries at Panama, Canal Zone;
Salinas, California; and Salem, O.
RECON, are managed by members Of
this family.
Of the 1876 persons on the present
staff of the Olympia brewing Co.,
35 are veterans from the days prior
to 1915, an interesting example Of
loyalty and tradition.
