showed just how badly they were af-
fected with cold arms and numbed
fingers when the visitors scored 2
times in the sixth on a long hit, a
double by Taylor, five walks and
three miscues, and two in the final
stanza without hitting the ball out
of the infield.
The 1889 Pocomoke team has fine
prospect. They are small young and
inexperienced, but have lots of poten-
tial ability, and worlds of fight that
is sure to combine with some fine
coaching, to cut larger and more seas
oned teams down to their size before
June rolls around.

now a dignified Judge on a Federal
Bench.
Queer how some peoples minds
work. Reckon they thought I was
calling him all those names because
he left the Old Eastern Shore into
other hands. Well, we will miss him.
It's going to be hard for successor
to measure up to the standard Of ef-
ficiency to which he had attained
and which was the result Of long
period of service in the halls Of ma
tional legislation. But, I wouldn't
have taken it out on him by calling
him bad names. Looks like people
gazed long and lovingly at the man
we had lost and did not allow their
eyes to stray lower. I want all who
made that mistake to look again and
realize just what was on my mind.

Lanlxford, Baltimore, and Clifton Mer-
rill, of Asheville, North Carolina
and by a niece, Miss Myrtle Lankford,
of Elkridge, Maryland.
Mr.. Pilchard was active, also, in
fraternal and church work. He was
made a ife-member in the Masonic
Lodge Of Pocomoke; and was repres-
entative of the Grand Lodge of Mary
land to the Philippine Islands; an hon
orary member Of the Rotary Club: a
life-membership on the board of deac-
ons in the 1st Baptist Church, this
city. In his social life, he was a gen.
ial host; and, with his wife, who, be-
fore her marriage was Miss Louisa
Hearn, and with whom he had lived
happily for 81 years, his home was
always open to visitors and these new
er failed to appreciate the hospitality
showered upon them.
He was a pronounced Christian. He

practiced the faith that was in him,
was outspoken in his defense of his
religion, and he never created any
other impression along this line than
that of true follower of the man of
Nazareth whom he was never asham-
ed to confess before the world OF men.
Funeral services were held in the
Baptist Church, this city on Thurs
day yesterday afternoon at 8 O'Clock
in the afternoon, conducted by the
Rev. John A. Dittol Interment in the
cemetery of the n. P. Church. The
pail bearers were: Messrs. Fuller Wal
ters, Clarence e. Robertson, DR.. A. A.

Alonza e. Holland.

Although, as said above, Mr.. Pill
chard, for over decade Of years, had
ceased from active pursuits, yet that
fact never seemed to remove him from
the thoughts of his fellow citizens.
He always occupied a place in the
hearts and minds of his friends, and,
tho by reason of the nature of his
diseases, recovery appeared beyond
hope, still, the news of his death came
as real shock followed by the sin
cere regret Of hundreds of those who
knew him while yet he was strong and
capable.
What was written by Plutarch can
be aptly said of Henry B. Pilchard:
"Not by lamentations and mournful
chants ought we to celebrate the fun
eral of a good man, but by hymns;
for in ceasing to be numbered with
he enters upon the heritage
Of a diviner life."

CHILD HEALTH
DAY OBSERVED
ON MAY FIRST
Date Announced By DR.. r. III.
Riley, Director OF The De-
partment OF Health

The appointment OF DR.. j. II. N
Knox, Jr, Chief of the Bureau O.
Child Hygiene Of the tate Department
of Health, as State Chairman fol
Maryland for this years observance
of Child Health Day-the first day Of
Mays announced by DR.. R. HI. Ril
ey, Director of the Department.
The observance is nationwide anG
has an important place in the calendar
of State, City and County Depart
ments of Health. Its beginning dates
back to a suggestion made in 1916
by Miss Julia C. Lathrop, the first
Chief of the U. S. Children's Bureau,
that May Day-always associated
with growth and spring festivals-be
utilized to direct attention to the
health needs of the children of the
nation, and to ways by which the in
herent right Of every child to health
and happiness, to intelligent care and
to opportunities for normal growth,
mental, moral and spiritual may be
realized to the fullest extent.
The American Child Health Asso-
citation began the organization of
Child Health Day activities, through
State and local health agencies, near
ly ten years later, and when that as
sociation passed out of existence, the
responsibility for carrying on the OBJ
servance was taken over by the Con-
ference of State and Provincial Health
Authorities of North America-the of
ficial organization of directors of
State and other health agencies. Since
then, at the request Of the conference,
the annual nationwide Child Health
Day activities have been arranged
and sponsored by the u. S. Children's
Bureau, through the State Depart
ments of Health.
In outlining the plans of this years
observance, DR.. Riley said, "Child
Health Day is much more than sin
gle day. It typifies every day, and
the desire to make every day a health
day for the children of this country.
It gives an opportunity for directing
attention to year-round activities and
shows how they may be extended and
made more effective. In this years
suggested program, special emphasis
is laid on every day needs for every
child, particularly on the Importance
of proper food, rest, exercise, medical
care and protection against disease,
and on ways by which individual and
community responsibility for meet
ing these needs may be met.
"With DR.. Knox as chairman, the
Child Health Day Committee for
Maryland includes representatives of
State, city and county departments of
health and of education, State and
county medical societies, organiza-
tions concerned with the care of moth
ers and young children; women's
clubs; recreational groups; parent
teacher organizations; service clubs
and other groups"

AMERICAN EDUCATION WEEK

Scenes of children and parents
flushed with excitement will be
found in millions of American homes
during the week of November to
IL, for that's American Education
Week, and 100000 Mothers and
Dads will put on their best behavior
and go to school.
During American Education Week
parents will see their sons and
daughters at work in the classroom,
meet their children's teachers, ana
get a. good idea of how their school
is run. One of the main ob1ectives
of this custom is to increase pupllc
understanding and appreciation OF
the nations schools by encouraging
every parent to visit his childs
school at least once annually.
Founded in 1921, American Edu-
cation Week grew out OF conditlons
revealed by the first World war
draft. twenty-five percent OF the
men examined in this country were
found to be illiterate, and twenty-nlne
percent were physically unit LOT
the army. Wishing to help correct
these conditions since illiterate anu
misfit persons aid the country no
more in peace than in war, the
American Legion started campaign
in conjunction with the Natlonal
Education Association, the United
States Office of Education, and the
National Congress of Parents ana
Teachers to actively impress the
value of education on the pubic
From this campaign grew the Amer
lean Education Week, occurring an
nually during the week which IN
cludes Armistice Day.
A vital annual period of inter-
probation of education for the ma
TONS schools, this week is a time
when American schools report 10
the people in concert. These actlv-
tiles. over a period Of II years, nave
resulted in better schools. opserV-
ance of the event is usually &C
companied by open house programs,
entertainments by the schools ana
meetings of civic and social CLUBS
and church groups devoted 10 COLI
sideration of the schools.
Using the theme, Education LOT
the American Way of Life" daily
topics dealing with the purposes OF
education in American democracy
education for self-realization, hu-
man relationship, economic efncl-
ency, civic responsibility, and Iree-
dom. will be featured In most
schools from Sunday till Saturday.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1939-11-03

One immediate result of the out
break of war in Europe has been a
sharp and sudden rise in the whole
sale prices of many basic commod-
tiles. After current stocks in the
hands of retailers are exhausted, the
increase cost must be felt by the
consumer.
1t is the governments hope to
prevent price-profiteering. But, as
any economist can tell you, prices
must inevitably rise substantially in
many fields, even though profiteer-
ing is eliminated. This Is perfectly
natural, ON the basis of supply and
demand. Nations at war present an
almost insa table appetite for q
long list of commodities-grains
dairy products, metals, etc. When
consumption takes a great and i'm
mediate jump, the sources Of sup
ply are strained and price rises
follow.
The current situation makes 1t all
the more important to prevent arti-
fetal and avoidable increases In
prices, both wholesale and retail
AS a specific case in point, those
various existing "anti-consumer'
laws which encourage price-fxing
discourage honest competition, and
attempt to hamper the efficient dis
tributor in order to aid the inefiici-
ent, may be cited. To an extent never
before true. laws Of this character
menace the millions Of hard-pressed
American families. to whom making
both ends meet Is difficult
