MEMBERS OF TASTE AND BASTE
CLUB ATTEND CONVICTION AT
SALISBURY

Twenty-eight club members repres-
ented Snow Hill High School at the
annual meeting of Home Economics
Clubs held at the State Teachers Col
lege at Salisbury on Saturday. More
than one hundred and fifty girls were
gathered there to exchange ideas and
information concerning club work.
The program was in charge of Mrs.
Bernice Sterling, of Crisfield. Mrs.
Sterling is advisor for the clubs in
Region D. She opened the meeting
with club songs after which the meet
ing was turned over to the Rainbow
Club of Pocomoke. This club, under
the direction of Miss Ethel M. Dix,
put on a very interesting playlet show
ing natures gifts to us in foods.
Each club was called on to tell the
work it had been doing and its pro-
gram of interest. Elizabeth Dryden
gave an excellent account of the work
of the Taste and Baste Club.

SHORT PASSAGE FROM
THE SHORE TO ANNAPOLIS

Thirty-seven minutes from Clai-
borne to Matapeake.
That is the time made last week
when the Emerson C.. Harrington, II,
made the first trial trip to the new
terminal Romancoke.
The boat has not been before under
her own power, since being rebuilt,
and the first trip, following the chan
mel, was very satisfactory. The boat
is now complete, everything that per-
tains to the comforts of passengers
is now installed, and she is waiting
for the completion of the road from
Romancoke to Matapeake.
This road ought to be completed in
two weeks time. After the Harring-
ton had docked at Romancoke, a car
in waiting, was taken, and in just thir-
ty-seven minutes the passengers were
in Matapeake, counting the time from
Claiborne.
After the trial trip of the steamer
was completed, she went out in the
bay and there the compasses were set.
This was the last thing that had to
be done. She is now ready and wait
ing.
The boat will carry forty cars, has
steel decks, ample salon accommoda-
tions, toilet facilities, and is in every
way capable of handling all the traf-
fic that may be offered.
AS the Claiborne road is one of the
best in the State, there is no reason
why this service should not be patron
lied to the full. Allowing twenty
to Claiborne, and thirty-seven
to Matapeake, the difference
in time to Matapeake is practically the
same, and besides having the advan-
tage of just half the mileage to
and tremendously better

on for a stunt. One club gave a
Punch and Judy show, another hu-
morous recitation, and still another a
short play.
One of the high spots of the pro-
gram was talk by Mrs. Paul Ledig
on Peru. Mr.. and Mrs. Ledig lived in
Peru for six years. Mrs. Ledig was
dressed in a native costume. She
brought with her lovely display of
Peruvian handicraft-silver bracelets,
rings, woven rugs, carved gourds, etc.
Her unaffected manner of speaking
and her interesting stories charmed
her audience and she was beseiged
with questions after the program end
ed.
Our own club accumulated a num-
Der of interesting ideas to use in our
program and we feel that the trip was
quite worthwhile.

GLEE CLUB CONCERT
TRAVEL
By Archer Holloway

When your shoulders have more than
they can bear,
And your brain is dulled with care,
Then, to settle on foreign land
May bring out in you the man
Which all the while has been dead,
When you to other men have said,
'I'm tired of living in this world
Where every selfish person
Uses you as stepping stone
To obtain for himself the highest
dome."
I hope that some day I can be,
Able to help make history
In some new land far away.
And on that day will say
To all the world!
'Travel is the spice of life,
A refuge from all worldly strife,
Where a man may his master be
And from this struggling world be
Free"

a JUNIORS HOBBY
About 3 years ago friends gave
me small gray arrowhead. On
asking him where he had gotten it, he
told me that it had been found in a
field in my neighborhood. For time
wasn't interested in this piece of
stone, but later after reading several
books about Indians 1 became inter-
ested in the collection of arrowheads
and Indian relics. 1 began to inquire
as to where they were most likely
to be found. One day I found a per-
feet three-inch arrowhead and five
inch spearhead. From then on I be-
gan to search in fields and pastures
and in sand and clay banks. Quite a
few of my friends contributed to my
collection. You will find that once you
get started on a collection of this sort
sort it grows on you. 1t is rather
queer to think that you are probably
receiving the relics directly from the
hand of the Indian who dropped them.
Then, too, there is education in COL
lection arrowheads. The material of
which they were made affords one
some knowledge of the land as it was
when the Indians lived here, also it
gives a historical air to the place
where they are found. They might
some skirmish. The study and collec-
tion of arrowheads and relics is also
healthy. Long walks in the open may
be necessary before you find a like
ly place, and even though you may not
find any relics, walking in the open
air never hurts anyone. If you wish
to have hobby, why not collect ar
rowheads? Snow Hill and it's vi
cinity is an excellent place for this
for years ago the Pocomoke, Della
ware, Wicomico, Chincoteague and
Sinepuxent Indians inhabited this reg
ion.
