Warns Hunters Against Careless

E. Lee LeCompte, State Game War
den, sends the following letter to the
Democrat"
"There are thirty-two CCC Camps
located in Maryland and the young
men of these camps have done excel
lent work and need your cooperation.
Therefore, we appeal to you at this
time to be careful when you go hunt
ing, not to shoot toward CCC Camp
or in the vicinity where men are work.
ing. In fact, there should not be any
hunting done within one-half mile of
any CCC Camp or where men are at
work either on roads or in the forest
and we request your cooperation in
preventing the injury of anyone thru
negligence on your part. Look before
shooting.
"By cooperating in this manner you
may save a life, which is much more
valuable than any species of game you
may miss or probably kill.
eve are requesting superintendent
of all CCC Camps to post notices one
half of a mile from their respective
camps, and request your cooperation
in prohibiting hunting within said
area.
"Also, when the hunting season
comes on be very careful and assist
us in preventing the "red menace"
from destroying our forest areas. Do
not drop matches or empty your pipe
or throw lighted cigar or cigarette
on the ground. If you desire to get
rid of either. put your foot on same
and be sure the fire is out before
leaving the spot. Your cooperation
will prevent serious forest fires"

more like that, Doc Sartorius would
like to tune in on 'em.
We were told another thing about
the men of the East. We were inform
ed that they are exceedingly cour-
teous; that they are all the while
kow-towing and giving evidence of ex-
IRENE hospitality. All I got to say is,
the lecturer was in luck telling that
to an American group; shudder what
would have happened had he been talk
ing to a Chinese bunch. The Japs
don't know anything about courtesy
when they've a war on hand. They
don't kow-tow to opposing battle line;
and their hospitality don't extend to
the length of inviting an enemy to din
ner. They treat 'em rough and don't
you forget it.
The lecture was most interesting
and instructive, and when you have
some more saved up, Parson, come to
see us and let 'em come.

BIG PICTURE TO
Be SHOWN AT
MARVA OCT. Fl
wings Of The Morning" Bene-
fit OF The POcOmOke Pub
Lie Library

A four-star special is wings of the
Morning" to be shown at the Marva
Theatre Thursday night, October 21st,
benefit of the Pocomoke Public Lii
brary.
The picture is tinted film made in
England, with an international cast.
The settings are beautiful and the in
PRODUCTION of an extremely attractive
actress, Anne Charpentier, twenty-five
year old Partisan, who goes by the
name of Annabella, will be hailed with
delight. Henry Fonda co-stars with
Annabella.
The picture has to do with a gypsy
queen and a gypsy curse; race
horse; a Canadian horse trainer: a
fugitive Fascist fiance; John McCor-
mick, the celebrated tenor; Steve Don
oghue, the famous jockey; a running
of the English Derby; and woolly
dog.
The prologue goes back fifty years
when an Irish nobleman wooed and
won a gypsy princess. Five months
after the marriage his lordship was
killed and his bride (Annabella) went
back to her people. Soon she became
mother but was told by a fortune
teller that her descendants would be
cursed to the third generation. Fifty
years later the ageing Romany queen
returns to Ireland, brings with her a
race horse, wings of the Morning."
and her great, granddaughter. The
horse is being groomed for the next
Derby, and Maria is being prepared
for marriage with a fugitive don. Dis
guised as a boy, Maria meets the
horse trainer, played by Henry Fonda,
and the customary romance develops.
It is probably the best job of Tech
nicolor which has marked any picture
to date. Tickets are on sale now and
may be obtained from Mrs. James P.
Blaine, Jr., or any member of the
Library Committee.Be sure to avail
yourself of this opportunity to see

DAVE DELLINCER is
EXPERIENCED SOLON
CASTOR Gentleman Knows Ropes AS
Few Do In Operations of the
Lower House
Daily Dispatch Bureau
In the Sir Walter Hotel.
Rv HENnRV AVERHI

Raleigh, Feb. 2O-He hasn't made
speech on the floor this session. He
probably will not, as he is more than
little scornful of those who waste
the Houses time.' Yet Representative
David P. Dellinger, zone of the gen
tlemen from CASTOR as Speaker
Gregg Cherry calls him, is doing a
good job at representing the textile
center county.
Certainly he knows the legislative
ropes as few of his colleagues do, and
he has a way about him that exerts
considerable influence on his more
vocative hut perhaps less powerful
fellow members.
1t may be that he just happens to
be on the winning side of almost
every question, but there are those
who feel that his being on a side often
helps it be the winning one. And with
the exception of the liquor referen-
dunn and reapportionment issues, Mr..
Dellinger has been almost uniformly
in the majority list.
His haircut and his habitual silence
in the House are at direct logger
heads. His flowing locks give him the
appearance of an old-school orator.
His actions belle his looks.
The only times he holds forth are
those occasions when he relives the
House reading clerk. And in this post
he is right at home for he was read
ing clerk for a dozen years-1915-to
| 1925 and again in 1927.
His legislative experience dates
back to 1909, when he was clerk of
the finance committee In 1913 he was
a member. In 1925 he was again
chosen by the voters as 1tFreir. repre-
sentative. He served in the extra SFs-
sion of 1918. s"S"
Thursday afternoon he took all the
House pages to the movies. That's the
kind of regular fellow he is.

Suggest Sale Now
OF Crop SURPRISES
OF Sweet Potatoes

Raleigh, Feb. 20-North Carolina
growers are now in an especially good
position to sell the surplus of their
crop of sweet potatoes, due to the pre-
sent good market prices and also as
a reflection of the shortage and high
price of Irish potatoes.
The 1885 crop of sweet potatoes in
the United States was almost 20 per-
cent more than last years production
which was equal to about an average
crop. North Cardinals 1886 crop of
1850, 900 bushels was above the usual.
General winter market prices of Irish
potatoes, at $1.22 per bushel, have
been from so to 100 percent better
than the previous winter and sweet
potatoes are about onethird higher
than year ago.
With small national fall crop of
Irish potatoes, the sweet potato grow
ers hold double advantage. North
Carolina farmers made good yields of
good quality sweet potatoes in 1886.
Modern curing practices permitted
them to hold the crop during the win
ter.
