POCOMOKE IS
MYSTIFIED BY
COMING EVENT
Something Is In The Air Which
Is More Exciting Than The
Recent Visit Of Martians

Not since the days when the early
Indians padded their canoes across
the deep black river and not since the
ferry slowly floated from side to side
has such a spirit of deep mystery
seemed to hover over the city of Po-
comoke and surrounding territory.
Many of the old settlers of this Sec
ton since the wonderful PIONEER days
can scarcely remember of such out
break of sensationalism, even extreme
ly drastic in itself, that is being mani
tested from one corner of this city to
another. Curiosity stirs up many
times the root of trouble, trials and
tribulation, but in this case the public
may we'll be assured that their curious
intentions as it may be will in a short
time prove to be one of the most
eventful and sensational public benefit
events ever witnessed in this section.
In the next publication of the Wor-
cester Democrat you will find page
after page as our answer to this COM
ing event; all roads from North, East,
South and West will lead to the CEN
ter of that which will be the pivot of
our story. Briefly speaking merely
to satisfy the whims of an anxious
public, we can only say "Wally Wally"
has arrived in town; "Wally Wally"
is known from coast to coast and from
the Canadian border to the Rio Grande
and when "Wally Wally" "Spills the
Beans" and opens the "Jack Pot" the
eyes of the public will surely be open
ed with amazement.
Prosperity at last is assured to be
'just around the corner" and will
open full blast upon it's arrival the
last of next week, WATCH! WATT!
AND BE WISE ! !

MEETING in
INTERESTS OF
ROAD SAFETY
Held In Snow Hill On Wednes-
day Evening In High School
Auditorium

In cooperative spirit, a meeting
was held in Snow Hill on Wednesday
evening in the auditorium of the high
school building, at which a program
was presented in the interests of safer
highways.
Gov. O'Conor has recently inaugu-
rated campaign of education, and
had appointed committees in every
county to cooperate with him in this
endeavor to cut down the number of
fatalities incident to motor traffic.
In Worcester County, Mr.. Richard
Phillips, of Snow Hill, was appointed
chairman of the committee, and God
frey Child, Esq, member from Po-
comoke and vicinity. The meeting on
Wednesday was for the purpose of
starting activities along the line as
mapped out by the Governor.
Mayor Byrd opened the meeting
and introduced the Chairman Phillips,
who outlined what was in the mind
of the Governor in his efforts to re-
duce the risks of motor travel. A mo-
ton picture, put on by Dol Derr, en-
titled: making your city safe", fur
nished an object lesson to all in the
way of adopting precautions.
This was followed by a talk by
State Officer Arthur Lloyd, who
stressed the fact that many accidents
happened by reason of an ignorance
OF, the dangers to which all are expos
ed on the road. Another picture by
Derr, entitled: "Stop, Look and Live"
was shown, which furnished much
good advice as to stunning the pitfalls
of highways.
Three points were emphasized in the
prosecution of the campaign: Engi-
neering; Education; and Enforcement.
The first refers to road conditions
which should be carefully looked af-
ter. The second informing the public
as to risks of travel. The third re-
lated to strict enforcement of the
laws. The meeting was we'll attend
ed and with good results.
Cooperation is asked all along the
line, whether personal or that of civic
Newspapers are look
ed to for help in spreading the Cos
pei of safe motoring. While the
Democrat" was unable to have a
representative there, this periodical
promises all the help within it's pow
err to help in this life-saving PROPOSE
ton. Mr.. Harvey Bradshaw repres-
ented the Rotary Club.
