CONDITION OF ROAD BED ON CHINCOTEAGUE HIGHWAY
ATLANTIC SEA BOARD IS
LASHED BY HURRICANE
Much Damage Done By Rain And Wind Both
On Land And On Sea. Ocean City
Suffers Worse Than In 1888

Chincoteague was in the teeth of
the storm. One of it's numerous
bridges was washed away and it is
now once more an island. Repairs
to this are promised very quickly, and,
in the mean time, a ferry is trans
porting passengers across the break.
One loss of life is reported on Chin
colleague, that of a small child when
the house sheltering it was blown
over.
All along the coast loss Of life and
property are reported. A vessel
foundered off Lewes, Del, and two
bodies of the crew washed up near
Ocean City. 1t is fortunate that the
storm was at it's worst on the sea.
Drawings showing the path of the
hurricane, revealed the fact that,
while it was bad enough on the Shore,
the water received it's greatest
strength. These storms now are be-
ing looked for in August, and a feel
ing of unrest is engendered when the
season rolls around.

The storm that lashed the Atlantic
Seaboad last week, struck Pocomoke
on Friday, and egan, to do things.
Trees were blown down, and, if not
blown down, were stripped of many
leaves and limbs. Electric and tele-
phone wires suffered, and, for a
while this city was partly in dark
ness, and telephone wires, in places,
out of commission. A big window
pane in Penney's store was crashed.
Ocean City was stricken worse than
on the day in 1888 when that August
gale swept the coast. Only ESQ feet
of that city's boardwalk has been left
intact, and it was feared for awhile
serious damage would be done the
bridge. Inhabitants of the place
were marooned on the strip of land,
on which Ocean City is built, since
passage on the causeway was consid-
cred dangerous. No loss of life oc-
Cured, and, at this writing, affairs
have assumed their usual trend.

CAMPAIGN ON
OCTOBER l-3l
Ninth Annual Inspection An
nOunced By Motor Vehicle
Commissioner Rudy
ADVISES MOTORISTS TO
HAVE EARLY INSPECTION

Warming to Maryland motorists
that the ninth annual Save-A-Life In
spection Campaign of all motor We
hicles registered in the State would
be conducted from October 1 to Oc-
tober 81, was issued yesterday by Wal
ter R. Rudy, Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles.
The inspection is prerequisite to
the registration of motor vehicles
for 1887 and owners will be unable to
obtain license plates unless their mach
ines bear the official sticker certify
ing the inspection has been made, Mr..
Rudy asserted.
With the cooperation of all auto
mobile distributors service stations,
general repair garages and other au-
tomobile shops in communities thru
cut Maryland, about 1900 inspection
stations will be appointed where mo-
florists may have their machines ex-
amined free, the Commissioner said.
Every automobile and truck in the
State must be inspected by a mech
anic or service station, meeting the
approval Of the Commissioner ap-
pointed for that purpose by him.
The salient points of examination will
be brakes, lights, horns, steering
mechanism, windshield wipers, mir
rors, license tags, windshields and
bumper guards. The inspection Of
bumper guards will be made to see
that they do not obstruct the license
plates.
A great number of motor vehicle
owners are overlooking the fact that
the law says nothing must obstruct
any part of the tags to prevent their
identity. These guards cover num-
bers and make it difficult at times to
distinguish them. Other defective
parts as mentioned above have caus-
ed many serious accidents, said Com
missioner Rudy. Any automobile or
truck found unsafe or with mech
anical defect must be placed in a safe
condition before an official inspec-
ton sticker will be issued, he said.
Last year 336,431 automobiles were
examined; of this number it was
found $4,000 had unsafe brakes, 1884,
600 headlights were adjusted or re-
placed and 10000 steering mechan-
ism were placed in safe condition.
The Commissioner suggests that
motorists have their machines in
spected early in the campaign and
avoid as much as possible the con-
gestion which usually occurs at the
close of the period.

"Chirps" ~

Democrats Pen

We'll. Sir. after the big fire Of '22,

property down on Clarke Avenue be-
tween Vine Street and Linden Ave-

This section Of our city was one
newly opened up for residential pur-
poses. People old enough can re-
member Just how it looked when they
were kids. 1t didn't look much like
ANYTHING. Nothing here to look at'
Vacant lot, stable, a ditch, and
that's all.
Well, the town laid curbs and gut
tiers, property holders laid pavements'
and then laid back to await the I'M
movement of the street bed. 1t came
after a long time, and housekeepers
had breathing spell from dust.
Then along came the gas men.
They cut a pretty little trench down
enc side, filled it up real nice after
they laid pipes, and all was serene
once more. But those trenches didn't
stay pretty. The earth put back into
them didn't seem to fit as we'll as be-
fore it was extracted. 1t seemed to
shrink and then came rough edges to

treatment to improve their facial pull

nothing has ever been done, and there
they are in all their W. lni.le! uSl:1Ess.
Then along came the city fathers,
or somebody else's fathers-don't
make no difference, and dug more

those little gas bitches in, three or
four times over. Big pipes were laid
and dirt thrown in to assimilate itself

Dollars To Reduce Ac-
cumulated Deficit

Announcement of a drive for $10,-
600 to reduce an accumulated deficit
for Peninsula General Hospital was
announced today by 1. L. Benjamin,
chairman of the committee sponsor
ig the campaign.
The drive will be held from October
to 10, and will cover the three low
er counties of the Eastern Shore, and

for funds the hospital has made since
1916, when 100000 was raised for
the construction of the addition to the
main building.
The deficit, amounting to $4,000
has accumulated over a period of
years and grew larger during the
depression when an enormous percent
age of the patients at the hospital
were charity patients.
Counties, cities, business houses,
newspapers, preachers, and individ
uals are cooperating with the hos
pital board in the drive.
Assisting Mr.. Benjamin on the gen.
eral committee are Mrs. Margaret
Hill, secretary; Mrs. Harlan Huston,

SNOW HILL IS
PROUD OF HER
PUBLIC HALL
Dedicates New Municipal Build
ing. Structure A Credit
To County Seat

Snow Hill should feel proud of it's
new Municipal Building, which was
dedicated on Wednesday afternoon,
with appropriate ceremonies.
Representative Goldsborough was
on hand and was the principal speak
er of the day. He complimented the
community on it's acquisition and de-
clared it to be fine example of CO.
operative construction. The building
is a two-story house, the lower floor
being devoted to storage of fire ap-
paratus.
On the second floor are a commun-
ity room, kitchen, bedroom, bath,
and living room. The finish of the
entire building is most workmanlike
and reflects great credit on those who
had it in charge. It's new appear
ance, is most attractive, and would
be credit to any place.
The building was built with WPA
and municipal funds. One Of the fin
est ever constructed in Worcester
county, it will house the volunteer
fire department and the ladies' aux
iliary and the water department, in
addition to serving as a general COM
munity meeting place.

%sz POCOMOKE CITY, MD, FRIDAY SEPT. g. 1886
UNNECESSARY DSQUIET
AS TO CITIZENS SITUATION

Considerable uneasiness was felt in
this community last week, when rum
or had it that two of Pocomoke's
prominent citizens, Messrs. Mark Cal
lahan and Renza Somers, were ma
rooned on Green Run Beach, as re~
suit of the tempest on Friday, the two
having gone on a fishing trip.
A newspaper account Of the Incl
dent occasioned uneasiness to the fam
lily and friends Of the two gentlemen
in question. But this uneasiness was
most uncallad for, as the two fish
ermen had started out with the in
tention of spending the night at the
Coast Guard Station, and their alb
sence should have occasioned no alarm
But some newspaper reporter saw an
opportunity and used it.
The two are loud in their praises of
Capt. Jester, of Chincoteague, the
Coast Guard official, who made a
most excellent host. The Pocomoke
men were as safe as they could be
at home, and regret the warped pub
licity their trip received.

A FAILURE TO
SECURE LICENSE
CAUSES TROUBLE
Circus Had To Pull Up Stakes
And Seek New Grounds
For Their Performance

The circus which arrived in this
city on Saturday morning of last
week, and which had made consider
able progress in setting up tents,
suddenly halted proceedings, folded
their tents, and afterwards camped on
the grounds of the High School; their
first attempt was made on the Ele-
mentary School campus, since the cir
Gus was exhibiting under the auspices
of the Parent and Teachers Associa-
ton.
This quick change has, probably
been somewhat of a mystery to many
people. But, as usual, the situation
was due to a misunderstanding be-
tween the circus authorities and those
Of the city and the Parent and Teach
ers' Association. And this misunder-
standing arose from an erroneous
judgment as to just what constituted
a permit, or license for the show to
appear inside the corporation.
An advance agent, it seems, con-
strued conversation which took place
between him and Mayor Ross, as a
permit to pitch his tents on the Ele-
mentary School grounds. The agent
reported this to the Parent and Teach
ers' Association, and, as a result, that
organization took no steps to pro-
cure the necessary permission.
There was also misunderstanding
relative to the character of the show.
There is hesitancy on the part of
the city to grant permission for such
as this one proved to be to exhibit
in the city. This, added to some COM
plant from residents in the neigh
borhood of the school, led the Mayor
to request removal of tents outside.
