Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1937-07-02

picture before us of one who thru
carelessness and fast driving has
struck and killed a child. Let this
not happen in our town, get busy, and
check these fast drivers. We all
know that cars are driven too fast on
the streets in this County, don't wait
until someone is fatally injured-take
action now.
On the Americanism program we
have Flag Education. We have had
distributed to our school children flag
codes showing the proper use, courtes-
les, etc., due the flag of our country.
Presentation of large flags to schools
have been made by our Post this year,
our Chairman of Americanism having
charge of the ceremonies. Those of
you who attended the flag raising at
the Ball Park of this city recently saw
the Legion in action.
The Post has also cooperated with
the school authorities of this county
in observance of American Education
Week.
Our Memorial Day Services were
held as usual this year on the Court
House Lawn in Snow Hill in memory
of those who made the supreme sac
rifice and those who have since left us.
Our Post, assisted by Boogs-D isharoon
Post, our Ladies Auxiliary, and the
Womans Club of Snow Hill conducted
the services. We we're fortunate in
having the Rev. R. B. Mathews as
speaker of the day. At the conclusion
of the services we visited the graves
of our departed comrades and placed
thereon flag.
Armistice Day exercises were held
in the Pocomoke High School, our Dis
trict Vice Commander being the speak
er. Some journeyed to Cambridge for
their Armistice Day Celebration.
Our neighboring Post, Boggs-Dish-
aroon, with headquarters in Berlin,
early in the Legion year, invited all
Posts on the Shore to participate in
a grand parade in that town. Wor-
cester Post SO won first prize for
Post making best showing, and a few
weeks ago, won similar prize.
We were honored by visits of De-
partment Adjutant Tribby and Vice
Commander JOS. L. Ferri; unfortunate
ly our commander, Byron Hobbs could
not come.
We come to an extremely important
activity of the American Legion, hos
pitalization and compensation cases.
We have done our utmost for the vet
eran requiring hospital attention and
we were successful.
Words fail to express our sincere
appreciation to the ladies of our Aux
iliary. They have given us every CO.
operation and consideration during the
year.
We all believe in having a gooG
time; at times, we attended Jamborees
in Chincoteague and Onancock, Har-
vest Festival Day in Cambridge; at
the latter, a young lady from POGO
moke City, representing our Post,
won the Harvest Queen Cup, and at
our Fashion Show and Beauty Contest
later in Pocomoke City she won an
additional beauty cup.
We take great pride in our dances;
this year, we paid more for our or
chestras than heretofore, but we took
the chance, and our dance patrons
backed US up by swell attendance, con-
sequently, we did fairly we'll financial
ly. Does anyone know where a dance
is better enjoyed than in Pocomoke
City? We have an ideal floor and
sufficient space, and last, but the most
important, splendid bunch of people.
In emphasizing our successful year
do not let us give you the impression
we are boasting. Any success we
have had, and we have had much, is
entirely due to those workers who
placed the welfare of our organiza.
ton ahead of personal prejudices and
went to work for what they thought
