"WhO's Wild
DATE OF MAY 9TH
FIXED FOR PRODUCTION

The Lions Club at their regular
meeting Tuesday evening made pre-
liminary arrangements to stage their
End big annual production which is to
be presented on May 7th, in the Marva
Theatre.
Mr.. Wheeler, of the Wheeler Pro-
ducing Company, one of the foremost
producers of amateur theatricals, was
present and promised the club one of
the outstanding productions of today,
who's Wild" The show is late
musical comedy success in three fast
and snappy acts. Throughout the ac-
ton of the play are several attrac-
lively costumed and staged singing
and dancing choruses with number
Of solos, duets and ensembles. These
will be deliberately presented with all
special scenery, costumes and electri-
cal effects.
Mrs. Wheeler who is we'll known
in Pocomoke and has hosts of friends
throughout the Shore, will personally
coach the production which is suffi-
cient guarantee of high class enter
tainment. The Wheeler Producing
Company staged several big successes
here in 1924-25-26-27-28 and again in
1885. These will be remembered as
the best local entertainments POGO
moke has ever had. Their shows are
always high class, properly staged and
every detail for a finished perform
ance carried out. These facts stamp
them as deans in the amateur produc
ing line and the people of Pocomoke
and vicinity will welcome them back
for another of their popular enter
tainments.
"Who's Wild" promises to excel
previous productions in it's snappy ac-
ton and it's cast of $50 talented per-
formers, dancers and singers so keep
the date in mind, Thursday, May 7th,
one day only. Rehearsals will start
about April Goth.

COUNTY PRESS
FAVORABLE TO
COLDSBOROUCH
Appearances Point To Stiff OPP
position To Any Aspir-
ing Candidate
THREE COUNTIES IN
LINE FOR INCUMBENT

Any aspirant to the seat in the Low
er House of Congress, now occupied
by the Hon. T. Alan Goldsborough, is
going to have some stiff opposition
if the stand taken by some of the
country newspapers is any evidence
of popular sentiment.
The Cambridge Record of March 3,
has the following to say in part:
"The First Congressional District Of
Maryland has never had a better rep
resentative than Congressman T. Alan
Goldsborough and it would be very un-
fortunate for the district should he
not be reelected. During the years
he has served in Congress he has been
very diligent in looking after the var
ious interests in the district, no per-
son has been too humble to receive
prompt and courteous attention; no
industry has been too small to have
its interest looked after; no legisla-
ton that affected the interests of the
district but that he has fought Wig
crously in it's behalf if it was bene-
ficial and equally vigorously against
it if it was against the welfare of the
people of the district.
"Any attempt to displace Mr..
Goldsborough at this time would, in
deed, be very unfortunate and while
we do not believe that his nomination
will be contested if it is, he may count
upon Dorchester county for an over
whelming majority as all classes of
people here are whole heartedly with
him, those in the towns, in the rural

EXTRA SESSION
OF ASSEMBLY
MOVING SLOWLY
No Legislation Enacted To Sc
cure Relief And Old Age
Pensions

At this writing, not much is being
done at the Maryland General Assem-
bly, to accomplish the purpose for
which the extra session was called,
viz, to enact measure to produce an
income for General Relief.
There seems to be some contention
between Baltimore City and the coun-
ties, and the recommendations sub
mitted by the city legislators have
not been accepted, the point at issue
being whether there shall be a tax
levied for general relief or whether
there shall be local units. The snarl
seems to gather difficulty and it
might take a 3-month's session to
straighten it out.
Two bills were introduced this week
by Senator Veasey, one ''To allow
the taking of oysters by hand scrapes
in Worcester County at any time of
the year: :" the other, "To provide for
a new registration in Snow Hill.
Some little feeling appears to have
developed between Mayor Jackson and
Mr.. Curran. Mr.. Curran insinuates
that Mayor Jackson has the Governor
ship in mind and for that reason is
not looking out for the interests of
Baltimore as he should, since county
votes are very much needed to elect
Maryland's Chief Executive.
However, Mr.. Jackson denies this,
and claims the legislators are all do
ing what they can for the advantage
of the entire State.

ADMIRAL BYRD
TO VISIT SHORE
MARCH 18th
Will Give Lecture In State
Teachers College, Sails
bury At s O'Clock
COMES UNDER AUSPICES
ASBURY Nj. E. CHURCH

Admiral Richard E. Byrd will tell
the story of his Second Antarctic Elk
petition illustrated by nine thousand
feet of film under the auspices of AS
bury Church, in the auditorium of the
State Teachers College, Salisbury
March 9th, at o'clock. Only thir-
ty tickets can be released for sale in
Pocomoke City and these for one day
Saturday, March 18th at Lloyd
and Blaine's drug store.
Because of the cost of securing Ad-
miral Byrd ($12OO.OO) it is unlikely
he will appear in these parts again
and this opportunity to hear and see
him must be embraced now or never.
The following editorial concerning
the coming of Admiral Byrd appeared
in the Salisbury Advertiser on the
9th of last month:
A great man is to be with us on
March 9th.
Admiral Byrd is but At years of
age yet already his has been the most
spectacular and colorful career of
modern history.
His explorations and discoveries
have contributed greatly to twenty
two different sciences and added huge
territory to his country's possessions.
But the man himself is greater than
his greatest achievement.
Gentle, modest, unassuming, incom-
parably brave.
On the lecture platform, simple,
direct, with no tricks of the orator.
Sometimes describing humorous pic
lures as they are flung on the screen,
sometimes narrating breathlessly
thrilling adventures, but always with
no attempt at dramatic emphasis.
He does not know how to pose. One
is conscious that no mere movie hero
is on the stage and screen. It is
real. The man is before you.
Untold numbers have died in at
tempting what he achieved.
To the end of time wherever red
blooded men shall gather, the eye will
flash or grow dim as the story of the
gallant Virginian is told.
Venturing only where brave men
would dare attempt to follow-him-
self the bravest of the brave.
No one could be further removed
from theatrical bravado; no one has
more utterly achieved the heights
heroic.

A Smart And Practical Use
For Leftover
Roast Lamb

It's smart to be individual, and
clever hostess strives to be just
that! And with SO many darling in

smarter than serving the main
course of your dinner in that fash
ion? Here's a good dinner menu
suggestion IN which you can not
only be smart but at the same time
use up that leftover roast lamb.

able as the so popular "one-piece

Clean Table Linens
For Successful
Entertaining

One may light cigarette and be
nonchalant and act Indifferent and
blase in the face of many an en-
barrassing event or accident, but
there is one which one simply can't
smoke off or laugh off and that is
the dirty table-cloth and the
soiled napkins.
When company drops in unex-
pectedly, it is bad enough to scurry
around to find clean table linen. 1t
is bad enough to admit to oneself
that soiled table linen must "man-
age to do" for the family.
But what is infinitely worse is to
find, in spite of all the scurrying,
that the entire supply is in the
clothes basket, waiting for the
dropping energy to assert itself
and fill the tubs with water and
soap chips.
Once again we remark that no
cigarette has been discovered that
will puff that off. Still and all,
there is sure remedy. A few ex-
ira dollars put into table linen and
then bundling it off to the laundry
bright and early every Monday
morning is the answer. OF course,
there may be certain economy in
doing part of the laundry at home.
But when it comes to table cloths
and napkins-well, as I said before,
what we think we save but don't,
we probably pay out land more)
for the cigarettes-and they won't
overcome the embarrassment. A
few more pieces and the good old
laundry at beck and call-and you
don't have to walk mile for one
either.
