an Elk to become an Elk, you prob
ably will. If Lee Nuffer begins
asking lot of embarrassing ques-
tions about your past life, out of a
clear blue sky, you can bet your

TO fine you ten bucks, if you are
In police court or see if you won't
Join the lodge, if you are outside

No InactiOn Here

mo InactiOn Here
One gains the impression from
the name that a sit-down strike Is
devoted to lack of action, yet one
recent sit-down striker showed more
than enough activity early this
week at the Imperial county fair.
She was Lillian Mills, sit-downer oil
the recent high school, Junior COL
1ege play, who objected to losing
her part. She entered the Post
Press booth at the fair, saw her
photograph on the board devoted
to news pictures, and became very,
very angry. In fact, she tore down
the picture. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

Pupils Who Work
Way Are Called
Superior

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. UN.SJ.
A new angle on the debate raging
on college campuSes and among
educators over whether q student
properly can attend to his studies
and work his way through school
was obtained here recently.
President Ralph N. TREY Of In.
diana State Teachers College an
nounced results Of a survey showed
scholarship ratings of students
employed part-time under the Ma
tional Youth Administration pro-
gram to be superior to those Of
the general student body.
The survey. compiled by Prof.
A. c. Payne, NYA director at the
college, conclusively shows that
over a three-year period students
working part-time were the scho.
lastic aristocracy of the campus.
President TREY viewed the report
as indication that part-time work
can be a distinct aid, rather than
a handicap, to the making of high
grades.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
LOOK OUT FOR COUNTER
FELT MONEY IN SIS AND los

Operators of the fake money ring
in New York and Washington, that
have had passing counterfeit bills of
5-dollar and 10-dollar denominations,
and who were arrested in New York
on Wednesday of last week, slipped
enough of the spurious currency into
the money channels of the capitol
city that at least one 5-dollar bill
found its way to Crisfield.
However, the counterfeit was detect
ed by an employee of the Bank of
Crisfield, and was thus kept from
circulating further.
The counterfeit money was passed
to" one of the Crisfield boatmen, who
has been running to Washington.
Bank employees said the counter
felt was "slick" one, and was diff
ficult to detect without careful COM
parison with genuine U. S. Currency.

BLUE RIDGE ESTABLISHES
A 4-YEAR CURRICULUM

In June, 1876 the Board of Trus-
tees of Blue Ridge College, New Wind
sor, Maryland, voted to re-establish
a four year curriculum in accordance
with the charter granted in 1916 and
amended in 1910, recinding a special
action taken in 1927.
At a later meeting in June the
Board of Trustees representing ex-
clusively the Church of the Brethren,
resigned and a non-sectarian Board
was was elected to take office immed-
lately.
On July 1, 1897, at the first meet
ing of the new Board of Trustees, it
was voted unanimously to operate
Blue Ridge College as standard four
year college granting such degrees
as called for in the charter.
The services of an outstanding Edu-
cational consultant having been prev
iously secured, the Board Immediately
adopted his survey and recommends
tions. This is covered in the resolu-
ton passed July 6, 1887.

the mainland at present is the cause
way and bridge across the bay. Bad
storms sometimes have interrupted
traffic on this route.
Mr.. Smith said that Delaware al
ready has built a seashore highway
south from Rehoboth Beach as far
as Bethany Beach, and expects to ex-
tend this four miles to reach the
Maryland line. Building of the Mary
land road then would complete the
connection between Rehoboth Beach
and Ocean City.
When this is done, Mr.. Smith point
ed out, motorists going to Ocean City
may go one route and come back an
other. At the same time, visitors to
Delaware resorts will be enabled to
avail themselves of Ocean City's at
fractions with short additional drive.
Plans for Maryland's section of the
road call for a mixed sand and as
phalt surface to cost about $4,000.
Fences to catch and hold the sand al
ready have been erected, and the as
phalt will be laid on the roadbed
thus formed. Sand fences are expect
ed to hold the roadbed in place and
also prevent sand from drifting over
the road.
Delaware's route from Rehoboth
Reach tO Rethanv Reach has road
bed formed by adding clay to the
sand of the dunes. An asphalt sur
face has been placed on top of this.
The total distance from Rehoboth
Beach to Ocean City is approximately
twenty-five miles.

PET PIG ATTRACTS MUCH
ATTENTION FROM PUBLIC

"Blackie", the eight-week old pet
pig of Mr.. r. H. Goldsborough, con-
tractor, has had a rapid rise to fame.
"Blackie" got his name in the news
paper first three weeks ago. Several
papers throughout this section took
up the story. Last week, "Blackie"
and Mr.. Goldsborough made the head
lines in the Philadelphia Inquirer's
Picture Section and the same week,
the little pig visited the Kent and
Sussex Fair at Harrington, where he
attracted the attention of thousands.
On Sunday, the proud little porker,
shining black, except for his four
white feet, with a bow of red ribbon
around his neck, was filmed by Uni
versal, right in Crisfield and hence his
picture, as well as some Crisfield
scenes and people will travel through
out the continent.

ATLANTIC OCEAN HIGH
WAY TO CONNECT RESORTS

Maryland and Delaware road Off
-rcials are planning to construct new
seashore highway along the Atlantic
Ocean, connecting Delaware beach
resorts with Ocean City, Md.
Nathan L. Smith, chief highway
engineer, said that preliminary plans
for this new road have been laid by
both States and that Maryland's sec
ton of the route probably will be
built sometime next year.
The new highway will furnish mo-
florists a scenic drive along the sand
dunes, with an almost uninterrupted
view of the ocean. Virtually all of
the Maryland section comprising about
eight miles, will be on the sand ridge
which is separated from the mainland
by Assawoman Bay.
The road also will furnish Ocean
City with an alternate means of en-
trance and egress. The Maryland
resorts only highway connection with

WOMAN USES MAILS IN
FRAUDULENT PROPOSALS

Deputy Sheriff Elwood Racine and
two other deputies visited the home
Of Mrs. Ruth Twomley, near New
Egypt, Cecil County, about two miles
from Appleton, on Monday last to
serve a warrant on her, charging her
with using the mail to defraud. How
ever, before the officers were able
to take her into custody, she left the
house, accompanied by a man, whose
name they have been unable to learn,
and jumped into an automobile and
"beat it" for Delaware. The police
officers notified Delaware police and
the woman was placed under arrest in
Newark.
On Tuesday last, she was given a
hearing before U. S. Commissioner
Polk, in Wilmington, being arraigned
on charges of using the mail to de-
fraud. She was held under $1,000 bail
for trial before a jury in the Federal
Court next month, in default of which
she was sent to the New Castle County
Workhouse.
The woman, Mrs. Ruth Twomley,
alias Ruth Armstrong, alias Ruth
Baker, was arrested on the complaint
of one of her alleged victims, Floyd
Squires, of Madison, Wis.
Squires told police he had sent her
$55 by registered mail from Madison

EASTON COUNCIL TAKES
ACTION AGAINST TRUCKS

Large trucks are more numerous
than ever in Easton. Frequently a
very large truck rolls up to the cor
ner of Dover and Washington streets
and before it can make the turn OF
approaching cars on Washington OF
Dover streets have to be cautioned
for spell in order to allow the truck
to pass. In other words, these huge
caravans are blocking traffic.
On West Street, for example, they
have been parking along the curb and

the money either to buy clothes or as
transportation to their homes.
According to police, approximately
so registered letters received through
the Newark postoffice were seized
when she was arrested.
AS she was being led away to a cell
Squires went to her, shook hands, then
kissed her, He seemed greatly at
fected by the hearing.
Her husband is said to have left
the home last week to seek employ
ment. He could not be found.

The owner of the garage was pres

of the Council was carried out it
would mean the garage man would
either have to violate the ordinance or
else move out of town.
In spite of this objection the Ceun-

up an ordinance abolishing the prac-
tice of repairing trucks on the streets

these trucks are so high that they are
breaking the limbs of the trees.
Complaint after complaint has been
made, and last Monday the Council
heard both sides of the question. It
was learned that trucks are repaired
on the street, they being too big to
run in the garage. The Council in
structed the Chief of Police to make

an investigation, and the conclusion
was that an ordinance will be passed
in the near future prohibiting trucks
from being repaired on the highway.
It was also recommended to the at
torney that he look into the question
of the height of bodies allowed on
trucks, and if there is no state law
then to incorporate a limit in the
town ordinance.
