WANTS WIDE MATAPEAKE
WYE MILLS HIGHWAY

Emphatically endorsing the widen
ing of the highway from Matapeake
ferry to Wye Mills the Queenstown
Lions Club at their dinner meeting
last Wednesday evening appointed a
committee to invite all Service Clubs
on the Eastern Shore to join in a
movement toward that end and to
press the matter until some action re-
suits.
The Lions went on record as urging
the building of wide modern roads
throughout the entire Eastern Shore
and asserted that if the State Roads
Commission does not provide proper
highways it should order all big
trucks off the roads.
The State, they declared, is making
safety drives on the one hand yet is
creating driving hazard because mar
row roads and big trucks do not mix.
1 spokesman advocated placing signs
at every crossroad with the warning,
"You travel this road at your own
risk"
Failure to name an Eastern Shore
representative on the State Roads
Commission was labeled gas taxation
without representation.
The Lions committee headed by Har
ry c. Reynolds plans to contact the
Shore Service this week. The Centre
vile Rotary Club, according to Robert
T. Newell, president, plans to discuss
the need of widening the Matapeake
road at an early meeting.

DARING ROBBERY CON-
MITTED IN ONANCOCK, VA.

One of the most daring robberies
ever recorded in Onancock, took place
Sunday night, July A some time be-
tween IL o'clock and Monday morning,
when burglars smashed one of the
large plate glass windows at Click &
Sons store on Market street, Onancock
and removed nearly half a dozen suits,
of clothing, mems shoes, shirts, hats
and accessories.
1t was daring inasmuch as it took
place in the heart of the town and
that apartments are located above the
store.
Mr.. and Mrs. James V. Truitt, oc-
cupying one of the apartments above
were aroused about 1 o'clock by the
noise, and while not realizing what it
might be, told officers they saw two
negroes, light in color, dart across the
street.
The burglars broke the window with
a brick, wrapped up in a cap, which
was found in the window the next
morning. The store was not entered
and the thieves were satisfied appar-
emily with their window "haul."

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
PARKSLEY STORE ROBBED
OF MUCH MERCHANDISE

The department store of The D. H.
Johnson Co. Inc, at Parksley, Va,
was broken into Wednesday night,
July 18th, and from $500 to $1,000
worth of ladies and mems clothing
was stolen. Entrance to the building
was gained by forcing open one of
the metal shutters in the southeast
corner of the store and breaking the
window glass.
The robbers went about their work
systematically and with care, taking
only the higher grades of merchan-
disc. Indications on the inside were
that the robbers worked in their
stocking feet to keep from making
a noise. Whole racks of ladies dress
es, and mems suits were taken. The
items missing mostly were ladies
dresses, sweaters, 25 pairs mems
shoes, dress goods, mems suits, to-
bacco, etc.
The robbers were evidently fright
ened in making their haul as they
lost 2 suits of mems clothes in the
alley. The robbery took place be-
tween midnight and daybreak, and
was not discovered until it was open
ed Thursday morning. There are no
clues as to the culprits, who evident
ly laid their plans for the robbery
with great care as the store is To-
Gated in the center of the business Sec
ton of the town.
Sheriff E. P. Parks was notified of
the robbery and county officers are
working on it.

Finally, Mr.. Bacchus' helper began
to make an investigation into what
caused the radio to "come on" and was
greatly surprised when he discovered
the blacksnake, coiled up inside the
machine. By crawling around the
snake had tripped the switch which
put the machine in operation. The
next thing to fathom was how to get
the reptile out of it's hiding place.
After working some time, Bacchus
and his friend found it necessary
partly to dissmantle the radio to bring
the unwelcome visitor from his hiding
place.. After working for quite some
time the reptile was killed.

Your
Children
BY Olive Roberts Barton

DO YOU wash all the fruits and
vegetables for the baby and the
children2
It seems that one should, because
of bugs. Not that we eat the bugs,
but because they eat the fruits and
vegetables. That Is, Unless the FARM
ers and growers spray plants and
trees with substances that are In
furious to bodies as well as insects.
But you exclaim indignant
| ", "wl1y DO they do It? Ny grand.
father had farm and I never so
much as saw him spray a weed
The children picked OF the potato
bugs and he sprinkled' ashes or
something over the cucumber vines,
but as for poison, he never thought
Of such thing"
Methods Have Changed
Which Is true Of all our grand
fathers. But If they lived today,
they would have to do what near.
~ every other grower must do,
either use, insect-sprayS to keep
down the pests or give up farming.
Because destructive insects have In
creased in 'ecent years in. .llncount-
ed hordes, and there Is no choice
Eihter we eat, by destroying the
edstroyers first, or we don't eat at
all. 5.&t &c.
These sprays do not, of course,
touch the fruit itself, or the prod
uct of plant, or vine, because
spraying Is done early IN the sea-
son, but food surfaces may pick up
q little here and there from ground
or tree later on. s% M.
No one will eat an unwashed APP

all that. It. Is Just that certain

Yourself
ny Alicia Hart
NEA Service Stan writer

II you have acne, or suspect you
have acne, you need medical as well
as beauty advice. Do see your family
doctor and follow his instructions
conscientiously.
Acne Is caused by q number Of
things, both simple and involved. It's
diagnosis being as uncertain as 1t Is,
cure is difhcult. Nevertheless, the
sensible procedure is to lay your
case before q physician, meanwhile
doing q few routines yourself to re.
lieve and conceal the blemishes.
The kind Of acne which experts
think is caused by faulty digestion
and elimination is fairly easy to
overcome. Correct your diet, cutting
out greasy, spicy, overrich foods and
substituting In their place fresh
vegetables and fruits. Take daily
walks and do setting-up routines
which exercise lazy abdominal
muscles.
Adolescent acne Is not to be con-
sidered lightly either. Don't dismiss
your young child's skin problems
with a shrug. Supervise her diet and
teach her how to eliminate all
ready-formed pimples.
At night after soap and water
cleansing, every acne blemish
whether on adolescent or adult skin,
should be pricked with sterilized
needle (dip the point in alcohol or
hold q lighted match to the tip for
q second two), then squeezed gently.
After the discharge OF pus, preven-
ton Of spread Of infection should be
your main concern.
Pat each squeezed spot with pure
grain alcohol. Wait three minutes
and apply alcohol again. BY this
time there should be no moisture on
the skin where the pimple was. If
there Is, put on more alcohol. The
idea is to prevent blood and watery
matter in the infected pore from in
fecting the surrounding area.
Night cream should be Of vari-
ETY. designed especially for acne. And
1t ought to be slapped-not patted
on. Stimulation Of circulation is
an important factor In this process.

season.
