LOCAL COMPANY
ANNUAL MEETING
HELD THURS. 7
Fire Department Elects Officers
For The Ensuing Year. Meet
In Engine House
JAMES F. DRYDEN is
AGAIN ELECTED CHIEF

On Thursday, January z, 1887 the
annual meeting of the Fire Company
was held at their room in the Engine
House.
A very large number of members
were present for the election OF Off
GERS for the following year and to
hear the report of the secretary and
treasurer.
After the discussion of various mat
tiers of business, the election was call
ed for and the following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: CHIEF,
James F. Dryden; Foreman, Ernest r.
Dickinson; LIST assistant foreman
John H. Causey; End assistant fore
man, George H. Henderson; Secretary,
Paul r. Vincent; Treasurer, Herman
F. Ellis.
The company, during the past year.
have been faithful, as ever, in their
service to the community both in and
out of the corporate limits. During
the past twelve months, they have
answered the alarm for 81 fires. OF
these alarms, Is were calls to neigh
boring towns and in the surrounding
country. The remaining % were
within the corporate limits OF POGO
moke.
The members of the company are at
all times alert in their duty as firemen
and as proof of this fact, at this meet
ing, several members present called
attention to very imminent fire haz-
ard that exists all over Pocomoke;
namely, the large amount of trash left
lying loose in the yards and back OF
the business places in town.
In view of this condition "a resolu-
ton was passed and the Chief of the
company asked to present it to the
Mayor and Council with a request for
action. The secretary was instructed
to have a CODY printed in the town
paper. The following is a copy Of the
resolutions:
Whereas, after a carefus survey OF
the condition existing in and around
the premises in both our residential
and business districts, it was found
that paper and other trash are left
to accumulate without container; and
Whereas, such a condition predis-
poses to fires and consequent danger
to life and property; and
Whereas, such conditions may be
the cause of increased tax and insur-
ance rate; and
Whereas, such named condition is
so easily remediable, therefore,
Be it resolved, that the Mayor and
Council be requested to pass an or
dinance, and see same strictly enfor-
ced, that containers such as would
prevent scattering of paper and other
trash be required to be maintained and
frequently emptied at such places as
are necessary to abolish this danger

REPRESENTATIVE
EXPLAINS The
REACTION OF BILL
MIR. GOldsbOrOugh Gives Detail
ed Explanation Of Bill
Concerning Distribution
SUBSTITUTE CASH BUYING
FOR INSTALLMENT BUYING

Representative Goldsborough, OF
Maryland has given the House de-
tailed explanation of the purpose and
background of the bill he is sponsor
ing to achieve permanent distribu-
ton of national production"
The bill, which he first introduced
in 1885, was reintroduced last week
by the Marylander, who ranks next
to the chairman on the House Banking
and Currency Committee. Its goal.
he explained, is to modify the finan-
cial system by abolishing the practice
of borrowing money from banks and
thus creating debts in order to make
purchases.
"This BILL" he said, provides for
discount to the consumer on all want
ed goods sold at retail. starting with
discount of twenty-five per cent.
and providing that this discount shall
be varied from time to time to point
making it possible for all the people
to purchase all the people can pro-
duce.
"Under this bill, the retailer can
deposit with his bank certificate in
an amount representing the discount,
which amount is placed to his credit
as deposit, the bank in turn receiv-
ing a credit on the books of COM
mission created by the Federal Gov
eminent in an amount equal to the dis
count, and receiving a certificate in
an equivalent amount from this Gov
erment commission, which it can use
to equalize interbank balances, and
which it can also use as currency in
periods of emergency.
"You will ask how" he continued,
"under such system initiation can be
prevented"
1t would be prevented, he said, by
the open market operations of the
Federal Reserve system, by increases
in the reserve requirments of men,
Der banks and increases in resdis-
count rates, and by a gradual reduc-
ton in the enormous national, state,
municipal, corporate and personal debt
load of the country"
"As you will see," he told the House
'the consumers dividends amounts to
an inverted sales tax, and the bill pro-
vides that in case of necessity, to pre-
vent initiation, the process can be re-
versed and sales tax imposed"
His bill, Mr.. Goldsborough said, is
designed to substitute cash purchases
for installment buying throughout the
country.
"High-pressure craftsmanship is
selling to people everything from au-
tomobiles to washing machines on the
installment plan," he asserted. "This
means that the peoble as a people do
not have sufficient purchasing power
to buy the articles so sold on an in
stallment basis, which in turn means
that they are mortgaging not only
their property but their future earn
ing power"

 Health Department Officials in Weekly Bulletin

Make lavish use of color in pre- pairing meals. This is the advice of the State Department of Health, contained in It's current weekly bul- letin. Not only will the family dol- lar purchase more health when used to buy brightly colored vege- tables and fruits, but meals will be made more attractive because of the colors.
 Back of this demand for color In foods is Q sound scientific principle, the bulletin explained. The more green the lettuce, the more orange the carrots or turnips or peaches or butter or any food naturally yellow, the more Vitarnin A they contain. Vitan1in A is Q very important growth factor, so with the children In the family every effort should be made to supply as many green or orange or yellow foods as possible, allowing these to replace the white or paler varieties. There is more vitamin value for the money spent in the dark green leaves of lettucS than in the bleached variety, vel how many people realize that they are losing money by buying white lettuce?
 Celery Leaves
 Celery Is another example. Many people discard the green leaves and stalks in favor of the bleached in- ner sections. Too often the green leafy portion of celery Is entirely

discarded, yet the money that has been spent for this food will bring greater returns in food value if the leaves as well as the stalks, and especially the green leaves, have been used as well. An excellent use of these leaves is in the popular salad bowl, where they give flavor as well as color. ,
 There is now much evidence, the bulletin said, to show that without Q liberal source of minerals and vitamins as well as some high quail ity protein and sufficient calories for daily activity, neither the growth and health of children can be pro. noted, nor the health of adults.

 Hcalthful Meals
 Color can be found in the morn ing glass of orange juice (served in a clear glass so as not to hide its attractive hue) Or the baked apple on which the skin has been wise- ly retained to add flavor and psy- chological value. The glass of bright ly colored tomato juice may start oil other meals, and tomatoes play their part in color and vitamins along with the rich greens in the salad bowl. Color may also be pro- vided by the cooked vegetable that accompanies the main dish, the general rule suggested being that
