JOBS FILLED BY
STATE SERVICE
ON INCREASE
Due Almost Entirely To Better
Reports From The Office
In Baltimore City
FOURTEEN OFFICES FILL
GAL JOBS DURING WEEK

The number of jobs filled by the
fourteen offices of the Maryland State
Employment Service with private en-
ployers took a sudden jump last week
to sos. The previous weeks figure
was only 353.
This highly satisfactory increase
was due almost entirely to the better
reports from the office in Baltimore
City, where 274 jobs were filled fol
private employers last week as a.
gainst only 191 the previous week
Elsewhere, business continued at a.
bout the same level as that reported
during the first full week of Septem-
ber.
The office in Hagerstown showed
a jump from 25 to 62 jobs filled with
private employers during the last
week, as compared with the previous
one; and in Salisbury the figure more
than doubled itself by jumping from
8 private jobs filled during the first
week to II last week. In Towson the
increase was almost as great, the fig
ure jumping from 8 to 16.
Filling jobs for public contractors
continued to demand considerable time
from the staff, and the weeks end
showed total of 1873 such jobs filled
during the week. Most of this activ-
ity was carried on in Rockville, Sails
bury, and Westminster. Between
them, these offices made IA place
ments to public works projects, or well
over half the state total.
Taken altogether, the fourteen Of
fices of the Service filled GAL jobs
during the week, which is very
gratifying increase over the previous
weeks total of 48O.
Commenting on this fact, Mr.. d
L. B. Fringer, Director of the Ser
vice, said: "The first ten days Of
September failed to show the usua
seasonal pickup in business that we
normally expect. But last week was
more encouraging and hope that the
rest of the month will continue tt
show improvement"

NEGRO BURGLAR GETS
lS MONTHS in HOUSE

Elmer Tull, Pocomoke City negro,
about is, will serve 18 months in the
Maryland House of Correction-e
months for one offense, and IL months
for another.
Tull, on Friday night of last week,
burglariously entered the store OF
Grady E. Powell on Clarke Avenue.
and extracted therefrom 35 packages
of cigarettes, besides other minor ar
ticles.
Tull's other offense was breaking
into box car and stealing bicycle
belonging to Montgomery Ward Com
pany. This occurred about two weeks
ago. Officer Birmingham was able
to pin this on him after his theft of
the Powell property. Another theft
last week in the Powell's store re-
suited in a loss of 10000 cigarettes
The burglar has not been arrested.

Well, these are beginning schoo
DAYS. Jo Sierra, my old chump has
something to say about this which
strikes the eye, inasmuch as he links
up school experience with the voting
age of 21 years. He says:
Somewheres around twelve million
girls and boys have had new hair-cuts
and their necks washed and are head
ing back to the school-smelling
soapy, but nice and clean and bright.
But we have become so used to big
figures on account of the Government
going in the hole 100 million or 500
million every time you pick up a pa
per, we maybe do not think fifteen
million boys and girls is so very many
But if you are the mama in the fam
ilv. and are making the sandwiches.
you will savvy.
But going to school, it is what this
country needs-and every other coun-
trv too. And times should change In
how to teach, like styles change In
automobiles, etc. And if I had any
thing to say about changes in teach
ing, 1 would start right there with
the 6 year olds, and would commence
teaching Aesop. And I would keeI
it up clear through to the senior in
the college. And by doing so, when
YOU are 21 and can vote, you will
know the sheep from the goats and
the foxes, etc., if you see one. The
best seller, it should be Aesop.
Well, 10, if you go over to Anna
polls, maybe Mr.. Strongfellow Barr
will add that text book to his col
lection, and agree to base his college
curriculum on one hundred and one
books. Surely, if Aesop can teach one
to recognize the sheep, goats, and
foxes of this world it is worth while

LOCAL LIONS ON
PLEASANT TRIP
TO SMITH ISLAND
Unfortunate To Experience
Grounded Boats On Return
Trip To Crisfield, Md.
RECEIVED HEARTY VEL
COME FROM RESIDENTS
Communicated

The Lions Club of Pocomoke is get
ting underway for very successful
year under the following new officers:
President, j. Miles Lankford; First.
Vice Presidenti Allen Schoolfield;
Second Vice President, A. Hartley
Stevens; Third Vice President, Mac G.
Matthews; Secretary, Howard K. Jen-
nings; Treasurer, Norman E. Polk;
Tail Twister, Charles P. Sheldon; Lion
Tanner, Milton H. Brimer; Directors,
James T. Mock, L. Griffin Callahan,
IL. Paul Ewell and William T. Bunt-
ing.
During the past year, the club has
accomplished services invaluable to
the community. Probably the great
est achievement has been the correc-
ton of vision for approximately, ten
school children. This, of course, was
accomplished by furnishing these chill
dren with the correct glasses. If
the sight of ten people has been cor
rected at a stage when such correc-
ton is most valuable, certainly the
presence of such club in commun-
ityy is highly justified.
However, other services have been
rendered; such as, financial aid to
the Girl Scouts, Public Library,
friend for battling the ever dreaded
infantile paralysis, and service to 9TH
er civic improvements.
This past week, the club journeyed
to Crisfield, there to meet up with
roaring Lions from Crisfield and Sal
isbury. After much discussion, due
to weather conditions, the party show
ed off in two cabin cruisers for
Smiths Island. A very enjoyable trip
was had, at least on the way to the
island.
Upon arrival the party was greeted
with one of the greatest meals anyone
could imagine; for instance, imagine
crab cakes, fried chicken, potted chick
en-, ham, fried clans, all on one table
not to mention everything that goes
with a meal in equal abundance. It
even staggered few of the famous
food consumers.
The meal we'll slowed under belts
and after digestion of a few after
dinner orations, all proceeded event.
ually to the boats. Now starts the
memorabl event. Not over one half
hour out, the leading boat ran aground
and there it stayed. Of course those
in the second boat, being good Sa-
maritans, endeavored to relieve them
and took aboard the passengers. In
few minutes, this boat also went
aground and all stayed, in fact would
have stayed until four A. M, but for
an old fisherman and his big flat
bottom boat. After two hours of sing
ing mingled with slight words of dis
taste for the predicament, all started
their joyful way to Crisfield and
there ended very eventful cruise,
much enjoyed by everyone.
The club is looking forward to
many more eventful and memorable
occasions, not only in the line of
pleasure, but in pleasure combined
with service to the community. Any
problems in the community to which
the Lions Club may lend helping
hand should be made known to them
and they will appreciate it and do
their very best to deliver the results.

EASTERN SHORE ESCAPES
FORCE OF THE HURRICANE

While this section of the Eastern
Shore experienced heavy rains during
the past week it was fortunate in es-
Gaping the high winds that swept
other parts of Maryland and Virginia.
The seas ran high at Ocean City
and coastguardsmen rescued four men
in a motor cruise when their craft
ran out of gas while attempting to
outride the storm but otherwise the
resort escaped damage.
Water covered some of the roads
on the Lower Shore but soon ran off
as the heavy rainfall ceased.

Somebody told me that it was the

looking around for another word &c

I know some boys down here whose

How-some-ever, the election is al

By the way, Mr.. Roosevelt has not

of Iowa; Mr.. Frederick Van Nuys, of
Indiana; Mr.. Bennett Clark, of Mis-

and Mr.. Millard E. Tydings of Mary

think of Mr.. Roosevelt.
I tell you what I think they ought
to say: "God bless you Roosevelt
Because it's the consensus of opinion
that his visits in connection with the
purging act did more good than harm
l heard citizen of Pocomoke express
satisfaction that Mr.. Roosevelt hao
changed his plans and would not come
here. Another citizen near by said
LET him come; he's vote-getter fol

not that as well as enything else.

Miller who was the apothecary's
helper. And he did fill the con-
tainer with thick white SUBJ
stance of his own mysterious
brewing.
And he did wrest the dollar bill
from the hand of the Jeep. And
he did put it in the till and re-
turn to the Jeep a silver piece of
SO cents in the coin of the realm.
Now the moral of this tale is
that depreciation on the ancient
pigeon milk gag is about so cents,
as the Miller rightly judged.
And the people of the land will
now be free from all bartering

will all live happily ever after.
