WATERWAYS DISCUSSED
FOR SOMERSET COUNTY

Colonel E. J. Dent, u. S. Army En-
gineer, assigned to the Rivers and
Harbors service visited Somerset Co.,
on Monday, April 10. Colonel Dent
came to the county in the interest of
the proposed Smiths Island Channel
through Ewell, witch Cove and on
the Bay from Tangier Sound.
In order to properly discuss the
proposition, meeting was called at
the Community Hall, at Ewell, on
Monday at II o'clock, A. M.
The proposed deals with an ade-
quate channel from Tangier Sound,
through Smith Island, and on to the
Chesapeake Bay, that will allow deep
er draft vessels to pass through the
Island en- route to and from the Bay,
thus eliminating great distance, and
allowing tremendous saving in both
time and fuel costs for vessels coming
from the Bay to Ewell or on to Girls
field.
Capt. ]. E. Sneade, spokesman for
the group of watermen on the Island,
at the last meeting of the Junior
Chamber, of Commerce of Crisfield,
enlisted the aid of the Chamber in
promoting the project. There are
more than two dozen members of the
Junior Chamber from Smiths Island,
and there are other waterways that
both Crisfield and Smiths Island are
mutually interested in that were dis
cussed during the visit of Colonel
last Monday.

Other witnesses were Olive Taylor,
sister of the victims wife, Irene John
son, cook in the Swanson home and
Chief of Police Milton McCready.
After hearing the testimony and
cross-examination of the witnesses,
the jury was unable to reach an una
nimous decision, so the case was post
poned until the next court session.
HALL OF FAME
MR.. G. F. BEAVEN
Mr.. G. F. Beaver, learned professor
of Science and Mathematics in POGO
moke High School, was born at Hills
boro, Maryland. Having graduated
from Tri-County High School, Queen
Anne, Maryland, he then studied at
University of Maryland. 1t was at
Washington College that Mr.. Beaver
attained his B. S. Degree and at Duke
University, North Carolina, that he
has finished his M. A. degree in bot
any, which we will receive this sum-
mer. 1t may be added here that this
latter degree required a bound thesis
accumulated from the study of all
plants in the swamps of the POGO
moke River. Concentration on Ger
man at Wake Forest during the sum-
mer, and two years of field botany
at Lake Junaluska Summer School,
Great Smoky Mts. National Park, N.
c., complete his scholastic studies
thus far.
Mr.. Beaver taught at Hurlock High
School for four years, and at POGO
moke High for seven years.
However, this accomplished profess
SCR has not spent all his time in self
education, for he has been very active
in public research work notably that
work for Maryland and Virginia in
the study of crab larvae.
Mr.. Beaver has quite a large var
iety of hobbies among which are
radio, boating, photography, and gar
dening.
An important event of his life took
place on December 20, 1885, and now
Mr.. and Mrs. Beaver are making
their home in this city.
MARY EVELYN STEVENSON
This week P. H. S. again places one
of her most outstanding Junior stud
ents in the Hall of Fame, Mary Ev-
elyn Stevenson, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph C. Stevenson, has that
certain something that makes her
friendly and popular with everyone.
In elementary school Mary's class
mates gave her the nickname
"Midge," but in high school she has
acquired the name Bright Eyes"
When Mary was a sophomore, she
was elected vice-president of the
Rainbow Club. This year she has
been appointed chairman of the Re-
freshment Committee for the Junior
Senior Prom and is also member of
the Shakespeare Committee.
Mary Evelyn has always taken an
enthusiastic interest in every school

legislation. Schools. hospitals, bridges,
buildings for every conceivable social
purpose are included In the list. Each
signifies permanent productive invest
ment, each is economically justified.
Clearly p. w. A. deserves commenda-
ton for the sanity and the soundness
of the philosophy it represents. 1t obeys
the old Roman principle of "quid pro
quo'-"something for something" not
something for nothing. The conscience
of the Nation approves the equity Of
such rule. When Congress meets again
and faces the problem Of what to do
about Federal aid to business. 1t ought
not to forget that the people never
have objected to the spending Of their
substance in cases where the definite
benefits were discernible.

THE USE OF GIFTS
BY THE RIGHT REV JAMES FREEMAN D. D, L. d, D. c. L.
BISHOP OF WASHINGTON

In appraising human values the Master
constantly taught profound truths by
using illustrations that were easily un-
derstood. In all His interpretations of
life, He used language both picturesque
and appealing. On one occasion He was
attempting to make clear to His hearers
the standard or criterion by which life
should ultimately be judged.
The story He told is called the Parable
Of the Talents" It is found In the twen-
ty-fifth chapter Of st. Matthews Gospel,
14th to 30th verses. In 1t, He indicates
clearly the responsibility men have for
their gifts. He reckons with the diverse
temperaments and talents which men
possess and appraises their service, not
so much by its volume as by the con-
sistency and quality Of 1t.
He selects three examples Of those to
whom talents are given, the first receiv-
ing five talents, the second, two and the
last one. He follows this apportionment
OF gifts with the word: ITO every man
according to his several ability"
As the story proceeds we find the
recipients returning in due time to give
an account of their stewardship; the
first having used with wisdom and dis
cretion his allotted gifts, returns the
original investment with an added five
talents. The same with the man who
had received two. The man who had re-
ceived the least, namely, one talent, dis
regarding the value Of his gift and care
less Of its use returns 1t without accu-
mulated interest. Commendation and
reward are given to those who had wisely
used their talents: condemnation to him
who had signally failed In his trustee
ship. The solemn note Of the story is
where Christ says concerning the final
Judgment Of the use of life's gifts: "The
Lord Of those servants cometh, and
reckoneth with them"
To every man, however poor or rich
his conscious possession of talents may
be. there Is the implied obligation that
they were given him for q definite pur-
pose, and that he is accountable for
their use. AS q matter of fact, their
only value is in the nberality with which
they are invested for the good Of the
world In which he lives. We are not
Evening star., 1937-12-26

accountable for our neighbour use Of his
gifts, we are certainly accountable for
the use we make Of our own. Some of
us may have an inferiority complex and
think that what we possess can serve no
good or large purpose. This is to take
wrong view Of life. We are In q world
where each individual has something to
give to the good Of the whole. We do
not make life richer or better by hoard
ing or withholding our gifts, but by con-
tributing them freely and fully for the
good Of all.
The world in general is advanced
through the cooperative spirit. Wheth-
er it Is some Edison with his extraordi-
nary gifts or some artisan or crafts
man that does his work with fine con-
science, 1t is through the contribution
which each one severally makes that
life Is enriched and made more salts
flying. Even a mediocre voice in choir
singing some noble oratorio is indis-
pensable to an effective rendition. The
highly cultivated soloist has his place,
but the swelling chorus in which each
inconspicuous voice has its part is essen
tial to the whole.
So through all Of life; it is each and
every man according to his ability that
makes possible the comfort and salts
faction Of society, and creates conditions
that contribute to the wealth and veal
Of the world.
Considered on a higher level, what
each one Of US possesses Of virtue, of
qualities Of character. have their place
and use in making the community in
which we live better and filter place
for our neighbors. We either enrich or
impoverish by the consistency or incon-
sistency with which we live from day to
day. 1t is not question of what we have
Of material wealth, it is rather a ques-
ton Of what We exhibit and exemplify
OF moral worth that makes what we give
Of value.
This is the lesson the Master sought to
enforce in His parable of the talents and
1t Is q lesson Of such practical applica-
ton that 1t touches every phase Of life.
Practiced 1t means a better, happier
world. Our gifts and talents grow only
as We use them.
