ACCOMAC POST
GETS LEASE OF
TASLEY GROUND
Old Fair Grounds To Be Leased
For Three Years For A
Recreation Field
POTATO BLOSSOM FETE
TO BE FIRST ENTERPRISE

With meeting the community needs
of the whole Eastern Shore, as its
definite objective, the American Leg
ion, Acomack Post No. % announced
this week that it had leased the Tas-
ley Fair Grounds from the James es-
tate for three years, with an option
for subsequent purchase.
In connection with this progressive
step in keeping with the national pol
icy of the American Legion, the first
enterprise which the Legion will UNI
dertake on it's new property will be
the Potato Blossom Festival this sum-
mer. In preparation of this event, to
be held on June and A, the Leg
ion will at once commence to place
the fair grounds in proper shape to
handle the pageants, parade and to &C
comodate the vast throng of visitors.
1t will be operated under the title
of American Legion Recreation Cen
ter as soon as possession has been OBJ
tanned. The Legion will demolish the
old grandstand and make all necessary
repairs in such buildings as war
rant maintenance, and will see that
the thirty-five acres of land enclos-
ing the track are placed in first class
condition.
This movement on the part of the
local post of the American Legion was
not reached without careful considera-
ton. The final decision was made last
Monday night at the regular meeting
but for some time members of the
Legion have plainly observed the
need for a logically located Recrea-
ton Center which would be available
for use by all the communities of Ac-
comack and Northampton Counties.
Tasley Fair Grounds, situated on U
S. Is and the railroad, appeared as ar
ideal proposition to the Committee Of
the Accomack Post No. %, and ar
rangements were quickly consum
mated with the owners of the prop
erty.
The plan of the Recreation Center
has been roughly drafted for some
time in the minds of the members Of
the post, for throughout the entire
United States, American Legion POST
have carried forward similar plans a.
a part of the Legion peace-time com
munity service.
The scope of the plan and the un
usual value of it's accomplishment
: may be understood through a rougl
draft of future development for tn
; public. Included in these are club
house, tennis courts, baseball diamond
swimming pool, and facilities and op

MODERN METHODS
OF THE PRESSURE
COOKER REVEALED
Manager E. G. Cole Extends In
vitatiOn To The Public To
Attend This Free Exhibit

Modern methods of cooking with the
pressure cooker, which is an outstand-
ing time and money saver, will be the
subject of discussion and instruction
at the Montgomery Ward cooking
school to be held at the Ward store,
Pocomoke, beginning Tuesday, through
Friday, starting at 2 p. M, each day.
The school was announced today by E.
G. Cole, store manager, who extends
an invitation to the public. Admis-
sion is free.
"Due to scientific advance which
has produced modern methods of cook
ing under pressure, number of i'm
portant factors have entered into the
science and fine art of cooking" said
Mr.. Cole, in commenting on the school.
"It is now possible to cook an entire
meal in from 10 to 80 minutes and to
produce tender, delicious dishes from
cheaper cuts of meat because of the
pressure cooking method. This school
has been organized by Montgomery
Ward to provide the very latest in
formation on the subject to house.
wives and all who are Interested"
At the school, J. w. McGavock, g
well-known authority on pressure cool
ing, will not only discuss these new
developments in the art of cooking
but will give demonstrations show
ing just how such time-saving, mon
ey-saving cooking can be done. HI
will discuss the subject thorough!
and an opportunity will be given fol
open discussion and questions.

public education in the aforemention-
ed Somerset county. It was bad
enough for the schools to lose How
ard Anderson, but, in a way, he had
prepared the road for his going and
people sort of knew what was coming.
Then, on top of this came the Fitz-
gerald squib and Somerset people
thought the third thing would be the
last Judgment.
So Pm going to advise that "feller"
who saw February" for March, in

timore Sun, and he'll find mistakes
much more amusing and diverting.

were referred to as "The Sho' Team"

ever been used in mentioning the West

Frees Suspect

AKRON, Ohio = A sudden at
tack of appendicitis with a 10
year-old girl as victim last week
revealed a strange case at the
county jail involving material
witness held in prison for twenty
four weeks under a $4,000 bond
while the indicted suspect is free
on bonds of $4,000.
The girl whose name Is with
held, was jailed last October as a
material witness in the case Of
Leroy Warfield, under indictment
for allegedly placing her in a
house of prostitution. Warfield,
who posed as a Cuban and object
ed to being put in a cell block
containing nothing but .colored un-
til police proved he was an Ameri-
can Negro, has been free for
many weeks after arranging his
bond of $4,000.
Meanwhile, the girl, hold only
as a witness, has had to remain
in Jail because she was unable to
meet the high bond Of $4,000. She
had already been incarcerated
longer than many vicious GRIM
inals and seemed doomed to stay
there for many weeks more be-
cause there was no indication
when the case would come to trial
But when she became suddenly
ill with appendicitis last week and
was rushed to st. Thomas hos
pital for an operation, the case
was revealed.
Since then, Prosecutor Alva J.
Russell has announced her bond
would be greatly reduced" If the

Good Manners at the Table

A relish, jelly, or pickle that is
a meat accompaniment is placed
on the dinner plate. If honey,
jam or conserve is served with
hot breads, it may be placed on
the bread and butter plate or the
dinner plate. This may be eaten
with a fork as the relishes, or one
may use the butter spreader to
spread the jam on one bit Of
bread, just before eating it. Never
spread a whole biscuit or slice
of bread at on time. Do not use
the, biscuit to wipe up all the
jam.
In passing the plate for Sec
ond serving, leave the knife and
fork placed on the plate, side by
side, so that there is no. danger
of their slipping off. Never hold
the, silver in the hand or lay it
on the table cloth or rest it on
the butter plate.
A bit of bread, but nothing else
may be used to help food upon
the fork. Never scrape or tip the
plate to get the last drop, as if

The hostess continues eating un-

be embarrassed at finding himself
the last to finish.
The napkin is left in the lap

Do not leave the table until you

When you have finished eating
leave your dishes in place. Do
not stack them or shove them
back. Leave the dishes of the
