major portion OF our program will
continue to be invested in the local
papers.
"Our research has proved that it is
the newspaper which helps US to reach

have learned that it is read, remem-
bered and acted upon.
"Tell the truth quickly is the key
note of this program and from the
Sun Oil Company's experience, I can

CHANNEL ABOVE
SNOW HILL Is
NOT APPROVED

In the pending proposition for the
improvement of PocOmoke River, Md,
by restoration of the existing project
extensions of the channel above the
highway bridge at Snow Hill, dredg-
ing basins at the head of the extend
ed channel and in Cricket Creek, and
a cutoff near Pitts Landing, the re-
port thereon, authorized by the riv-
ers and harbor act of August &c, 1887,
has ben made, and is unfavorable to
the improvement. The principal
grounds upon which the adverse con-
illusions are based are that the pro-
ject ca nbe restored under the exist
ing project; that the extension of the
channel would be of only minor local
benefit; that adequate anchorage bas-
ms are now available above the bridge
at Snow Hill and that there is no ma
terial need for a basin in Cricket
Greek and that the cost of the pro-
posed cutoff would be far greater
than the probable benefits would JUS
tify.
All interested parties have the privi-
lege of a nappeal from this conclus-
ion to the Board of Engineers for Riv-
ers and Harbors, a permanent body
sitting at Washington, d. c., to which
all examination and survey reports of
this character are referred. Parties
desiring to do so may be heard on APP
peal by the board, either orally or in
writing. Written communications
should be addressed to the Board of
Engineers for Rivers and Harbors
Munitions Building, Washington, d.
c., and should be mailed in time to
be in possession of the said board
within four weeks from the date of
this communication. If, however, you
have important data to communicate
to the board, which can not be col
lected and put in shape for proper
presentation within four weeks, the
board should be informed of this fact
without delay and request made for
an extension of the limiting date for
submitting information. If oral hear
ings are desired, dates for the same
may be arranged for by corresponding
with the board.
Any further information may be
obtained by application to that office
or to the u. S. Engineer Office, 332
Post Office Building, Baltimore, Md,
but attention is invited to the follow
ing regulations as to the manner in
which such information may be fur
nished:
where interested parties desire
data necessary for the preparation of
their appeal to the Board of Engineers
for Rivers and Harbors, they will be
afforded full opportunity to examine
the copies of the reports of the dis
trict and division engineers in their
respective offices, subject to the I'M
derstanding that no part of the con-
tents of these reports will be publish
ed in the newspapers or otherwise un-
til the reports have been submitted to
Congress. Copies of the reports will
not be furnished or loaned for use out
side of the office; but interested par
ties will be permitted to make such
notes of the contents as they desire"

THANKSGIVING
BIZ ERNEST E. L. PARLETT

We pause amid the hurry and the
strife
And think Of states here and beyond
the sea.
Comparing them, we're thankful fol-
our life
For reason, brotherhood and liberty
In our fair land we're individuals,
Not cogs in a dictatorial machine,
Which some one man with prejudice
propels,
Permitting no justice TO intervene.
None here Is prosecuted for his race.
Here each is free his own faith to
profess.
Here each through effort may attain
a place,
And find a home or other happiness.
Then let us pause on this Thanks
giving Day,
And breathe our gratitude for lib
erty.
Also for the oppressed we well might
pray,
Hoping some time they also win be
free.

"Our schools are for all the people.
Many of our children do not have ade-
quate professional care; many Of
these professional needs are beyond
the scope of existing agencies.
"The problem is being attacked
through the schools on county wide
basis; many local organizations have
made most helpful contributions, but
the needs of the county as a whole
the not adequately met.
"Needs are eye glasses, removal of
tonsils, dental care, free lunches and
other adjustments requiring profess
sional service.
In school health service has been
carried on for five years under the
Board of Education. In the past,
funds for the work have been pro-
vided for by operettas, benefit movies,
service club contributions, proceeds
from Field Day and contributions
from pupils"
