Sinepuxent Bay. This will afford a
gathering place for yachts and other
boats, as we'll as a place where ocean
fishermen can bring their catch. am
firmly of the belief that with the
development of proper facilities the
great majority of fishermen now US
ing the excellent fishing grounds off
Ocean City will bring their catch to
the Bay. Additional industries to
handle the business should be estab-
lished, with greater opportunities for
employment for the people of this sec
tion of the State.
"It would undoubtedly follow that
with the development of a fine yacht
harbor in the Bay more need will
exist for the handling of pleasure
boats and an increase of business at
Ocean City as a pleasure resort.
eff elected Governor, I pledge my
self to devote an earnest and untir-
ing effort to the fullest development
of this important matter in order that
this County shall be known as one of
the finest and most successful fish
ing centres of the entire country.
Furthermore, pledge myself to CO.
operate with the Federal Government
in the expansion of this development
at Ocean City and in the Sinepuxent
Bay area in the interest of the people
of Worcester County and of the whole
State"

O'CONOR ADVISES
SPECIAL EFFORT
AT IMPROVEMENT

at is the obligation of the State of
MARYLAND to further the interest of
its people by devoting special efforts
toward the betterment of conditions
which may be peculiar to the different
parts of the State. In those sections
where particular advantages are avail
able to the people, the State Govern
ment should guard jealousy the as
sets which are within reach of its
citizens.
"Take, for instance, Worcester
County, within whose borders flow
waters of the greatest potentialt
wealth for the growth of seafood. 1
make particular reference to the
beautiful bay which lies between the
eastern mainland of the county and
the strand on which is built Ocean
City, the only ocean resort in Mary
land. It has been my pleasure to
have been a resident in this part of
Worcester during the summer months
for the past ten years.
eve know that successive storms
have cut an inlet into the bay from
the Atlantic Ocean, changing the
waters of the bay to the same salinity
and containing the same elements as
the ocean itself. Thus the bay pro-
vides an excellent medium for the
growth of oysters, crabs and other
seafood, including CLAIMS and shrimp.
Following the opening of the inlet
there was an immediate and astound-
ing growth of seafood, but the tidal
changes up and down the coast grad
ually deposited sand in the inlet. Nat
urally the ingress of the ocean dimin-
ished and the hope of the fullest deve-
lopment of this industry was lessen
ed.
"It is true that the Legislature ap-
propriated a sum for the building of
ietties and that the Federal Govern
ment added to this appropriation to
dredge a deeper channel through the
inlet and in the bay for the passage
and anchorage Of boats. Without in
any manner minimizing the splendid
work which has been done, accomplish
ing several very desirable results, I
am confident that more assistance can
be given by the next State admins
tration toward developing even fur
ther the great possibilities which are
thus afforded. With the ocean per-
manently flowing into the Sinepuxent
Bay with the same saline content,
we should not permit any other State
to out-distance our people in the quail
ity and quantity of production of sea-
food.
"The work in connection with the
production of seafood the collection,
packing and shipping of the same,
undoubtedly would result in the estab-
ishment of more profitable industries
in this area and afford employment to
many Worcester County people.An-
other result will be the maintenance
of an excellent boat harbor in the

a soft drink alone when news
