HALL OF FAME (Boy)

This week the Hall of Fame intro
duces one of Pocomoke Highs most
outstanding athletes. The boy to fill
this position is none other than Rob
ert Allen, the son of Mr.. and Mrs
Norman F. Allen whose residence is
on Walnut Street of this city.
Bob" played Freshman soccer and
basketball where he proved to be a
big help to the first yearmen when
they almost defeated the class of "a
for the inter-class title in basketball.
During his sophomore year ne broke
his collar bone hindering him from
performing on the cage squad, altho'
he specialized in soccer and baseball.
Concerning his third and fourth year
he has taken his place on the first
team of the three major sports offered
by P. H. S.
Robert says his chief hobbies are
all in one word, "sport" Qeaving out
the girls).
He is known by his best 'chums" as
"the boy who won't wear tie"
Bob says his highest ambition is to
become a professional major league
baseball player, so may we all hope
that our "small town" boy makes good.

Schools seniors who we'll deserves a
place in the Hall of Fame is Audrey

tered high school that she was going
to make good, and she has kept her
word.

making a great improvement in Tenn
peranceville central by placing some
of the rural lines in underground
cables instead of stringing them on
poles as has been the case ever since
the telephone service was first estab-
lished on the Eastern Shore. In all
70 wire miles or DO truck miles have
been installed in Temperanceville Cen
trail.
The cable is installed by a special
pillow which is pulled by tractor and
is buried about % inches in the ground
This cable is not affected by dampness
or soil conditions. 1t is protected a.
gainst insects as the covering is i'm
pregnated with arsenic. This is the
first step taken by the telephone COM
pany towards rehabilitating it's lines
on the Eastern Shore. The lines from
New Church, to Franklin City, via
HOMETOWN, have recently been rebuilt
using poles.
The cost to install the new service
is about 5000 per mile, but it means
the elimination of poles from the high
ways and saves on maintenance costs.
The c. & P. Telephone Company ia
pioneer in installing this new un-
foreground cable for it's wires on a
large scale. Already this new cable
has been used when installing phones
for new subscribers in Belle Haven
and Onancock centrals.
