COUPLE HAS DIFFICULTY
IN PROCURING LICENSE

Cupid has been busy with his ar
row. He has hit the mark with a
penetrating blow on one couple liv-
ing in New Jersey to such an extent
that they came to Easton Saturday
night after midnight and applied to
Clerk Faulkner for a license. The
clerk was advised by the Court not
to issue licenses on Sunday, and there
fore Mr.. Faulkner refused.
The couple, along with four other
persons, hung around there all day
Sunday. They visited Mr.. Faulkner's
house and asked him again to issue
the little script, but this he refused
again. They then asked him where
else could license be procured. He
told them Cambridge was the county
seat of Dorchester County, and they
might get license there. They went
across the bridge and found their jour-
ney fruitless when the clerk of the
court refused.
They returned to Easton and again
sought advice from Mr.. Faulkner. He
then directed them to Denton, where
they journeyed. But the same result
happened there as it did at Cam.
bridge. They were refused a license
on account of it being Sunday.
Returning again to Mr.. Faulkner's
house they were advised that the Ii.
cense would be issued after twelve
o'clock and the couple with theil
friends sat out on the lawn waiting
for midnight. At the stroke of twelve
they rang the door bell and informed
Mr.. Faulkner that is was IL o'clock
He told them to go to the court house
and he would be there about the time
they were.
When he arrived he found then
waiting. The license was issued anc

TANGIER ISLAND WILL

Historic Tangier Island donned an
other bit of modern life when the
Wallace Theatre, installed two new
talking moving picture machines. The
theatre will now show the first sound
pictures ever shown on the island.
The theatre, under the management
of Miss Ruth A. Wallace, has been
enjoying considerable silent movie pa
tronage in the past, but lately the need
for the most modern innovations, ev-
en- in moving pictures, has been re-
quired. Hence, the change.

HOWARD E. ANDERSON

Howard H. Anderson, prominent
young farmer, residing near Princess
Anne, met with County Superinten-
dent, w. Stewart Fitzgerald, at the
office of the Board of Education and
signed a contract to teach Vocational
Agriculture in the Washington and
Marion High Schools.
Mr.. Anderson resigned this posi-
ton on March LIST, in order to devote
full time to caring for his farms. He
was succeeded by E. Kenneth Rams
berg of Howard County who filled in
the remainder of Mr.. Anderson's term.
Mr.. Ramsburg recently rendered his

a similar capacity.
1t is unanimously conceded that the
School Board is fortunate in again Sc
curing the services of Mr.. Anderson
as he established quite an envious
record during his six year tenure as
instructor of Vocational Agriculture
and did much to advance the status
of agricultural education in the high
schools. He was responsible for the
organization of several farm chapters,
dairy cattle and corn judging teams,
displaying time and again versatile
ability in the various departments in
the interest of the school in general.
