Work On Community
Park In Actual Start

With twenty-five men on the job
actual work on the Community Park
project started Monday, the prelimi-
nary work including the clearing of
about forty-seven acres of land. Many
of the trees, particularly holly trees,
dogwood and hickory trees, will re-
main to add to the natural beauty of
the park.
The approach to this recreation CEN
ter will eventually be through Second
Street, a large part of which has been
graded, and will in time be hard sur
faced.
After the clearing process is COM
pleted the next step will probably be
the erection of a club house and lay
ing off the 9-hole golf course and
space for other sports. At this stage
of the work it is impossible to state
just when the project will be complet-
ed but work will go forward rapidly
and Pocomoke's Park project will soon
become reality.

De Luxe cars are equipped with the 85-
horsepower engine only.
The Standard is even lower priced than
the De Luxe. 1t has graceful new lines
and well-tailored interiors-with choice
of engine sizes-85 or 90 horsepower.
Before Ford made V-type 8-cylinder en-
gines available to every one, they were
used only in expensive cars. Since then,
four million Ford owners have learned
the genuine ENJOYMENT of driving an eight
cylinder car with alI-around economy.
The thrifty ''6O'' engine, especially, makes
possible in Standard models very low
first cost and equally low operating cost.
With two distinct designs, two engine
sizes and two price ranges, you'll find

With Easton installing a lighting

will manage Trenton next year, leav-
ing a vacancy in the Salisbury Club
management. Dover is to have new
pilot, and altogether the league is
being popped up. Better and faster
ball will be seen next season than
was seen last year. The woods are
being secured for young material, and
when the umpire calls "Play Ball!"
on April 9Th a better brand of ball
will be seen through the circuit.

The little 5-year-old daughter o.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Mason, this city
was strdck and knocked down by ar
automobile last Saturday evening, or
Clarke Avenue, opposite the store oi
Mr.. A. E. Holland.
The child was running across the
street to join her mother when the ac-
cident occurred. The driver of the
car, a negro, stopped at once, but
there was no mistaking the fact that
the man was entirely blameless in the
matter. The victim was taken ir
charge by her parents and received
immediate treatment.
Besides q few bruises and lacera-
tions, the little girl was not hurt
She is, at present, doing well and
will suffer no harm from her exper-
fence.

AN OPEN FORUM
SPONSORED BY
WOMAN'S CLUB
To Be Held In The Local High
School, December 10, At
Eight O'Clock, P. M.

In keeping with the trend of times,
the citizens of Pocomoke will have the
opportunity of attending an open For
UNI on December 18, at eight o'clock,
P. NJ, at the High School.
The Woman's Club is sponsoring
this Forum as part of its Adult Edu-
cation program. Other communities
are conducting forums, adult classes,
and night schools to better inform its
citizens of conditions here and abroad;
also teaching them how to use their
leisure time. Surely Pocomoke citi-
zens, are just as progressive and just
as interested in making our country
state, community, a better, safe,
place in which to live as any othe,
group of citizens.
The Topic: Fascism, Communism
Democracy, were chosen for discussion
in view of the immense amount O.
publicity given them in our news
papers and magazines. How man,
times has one read such statement
as: "Our Democratic form of govern
ment is being challenged by Fascism
ETC." and, "a vast organization ha
been established in this country who's
ultimate goal is world revolution;

The First Baptist Church, Inter

with their teacher, Mrs. Lillian Ap-
pleton, were surprise visitors at the
home of Rev. Ernest w. Church, pas
tor of Goodwill Baptist Church on
Wednesday, November oath.
Although the visit was brief one
it was none the less enjoyable mas
much as the young ladies stayed long
enough to pay their respects to Mr..
Church and his sister and to leave
with them token of esteem and good
cheer in the way of well filed bas-
ket of Thanksgiving goodies.
Mr.. Church, although taken by sur
prise, managed to collect his scattered
thoughts sufficiently to express his
welcome and thanks and certainly did
not forget to say come again.
The young people are to be COM
mended for their kindly thought and
courtesy.

T1oRD offers two new cars for 1898
the Standard Ford V-8 and the De
Luxe Ford V-8. They are different in ap-
pearance but built to the same high
standard of mechanical excellence ON
the same chassis.
Because people liked our 1887 car so
well, they bought more than of any other
make. They liked its looks, its smooth
performance, and the way it handled. We
have improved on that car in the newly
styled Standard Ford V-8.
But some folks wanted still more size
and style, with the same Ford advantages.
For them, we designed new De Luxe line.
The De Luxe Ford " Sedans are longer
with more room, larger luggage space,
and finer appointments all around.
