INTERESTING BOOK REVIEW

This months book list means money
in the bank for booksellers and lend
ing Libraries, for there are two books
published fright up their alley"
Career by Proxy" by Faith Blad-
win, and "Uncle Caleb's Niece" by
Ida Larrimore are both sure fire hits
and will be welcomed by their many
admirers. Career by Proxy" tells
of the very social Joan Armstrong
who had taken a complete business
course and was perplexed as to what
to do with this knowledge. In taking
the place of another girl who must
get her salary in order to live, but
is forced to give up her job, Joan
finds out many things about love. It
ran serially in Liberty as Rehearsal
for Love-" It will be published about
the first week of this month.
To solve the financial difficulties
of the charming but indolent Mer-
rills, Faith turns her Cape Ann cot
tage into Summer boarding house
with astonishing but wholly agreeable
results, is the story of "Uncle Caleb's
Niece" by Ida Larrimore.
You may remember that Ida Lar
rimore, who is the daughter of well
known Methodist clergyman who serv-
ed churches all over the Eastern Shore
is one of our own notable authors.
The story she has written is the first
since Tuesday Never Comes" This
one has not appeared as serial and
the setting is in New England. The
story has all the appeal of Mulberry
Square and it's coming just when
readers are looking for gay, diverting
romances. It is an ideal Summer
book"
Another very important book an
nounced this month is "April Was
When It Began" by Harry Benfield.
It is said to be pretty nearly Ben
fields best book since "The Chicken
Wagon Family" It hasn't perhaps
the pathetic appeal of valiant is the
Word for Carrie" but it has a great
deal Of the charm that made "The
Chicken Wagon Family" famous. It
is modern fairy tale that included
fairies, dragons, and witches in it's
cast of characters, but equally impos-
sible. It concerns a boy who gets a
job in the editorial department of a
publishing house around New York
and in his rambles around meets
Dik-Dik, "the royal Abyssinain ante
LOPEZ" Dik-Dik is a lonely little girl
who lives with old Tiger, an Italian
servant, and Bloodhound, Dik-Dik's
father. The story moves through adj
vetures that Barry Benfield loves to
describe, colorful, touching, or hum
orous. Dik-Dik, of course falls in love
with Mole, but Mole falls in love with
Birdie O'Sheel-know to Mole as Jud-
it'll Disdebar. Judith is an heiress,
however and-well Benfield manages
to swarm the cookies of your heart"
as Mr.. Wolcott puts it so you can't
we'll helm liking the story.

ORIGINAL POEM
ON BEAUTIFYING
POCOMOKE CITY
Written 3 Mrs. Bates Hancock
At A Meeting Of The
Federated Clubs

The following poem was written Tor
and read at, the convention OF the
Eastern Shore District of the Mary
land Federation of Women's Clubs
which was held at Hurlock, April goth,
and many of those present desired
that Mrs. Hancock present it to the
newspaper for publication this week
when the report of that occasion goes
in.
Each president of a club was re-
quested to present an original sklt
telling of her clubs outstanding a.
chievement, and Mrs. Hall requested
that Mrs. Hancock do Pocomoke's into
a poem and read it.
BEAUTIFYING POCOMOKE
dedicated to the author of the pro-
iect, our Director, Mrs. R. Lee Hall,
and to her successor, our President,
Mrs. C. C. Hall, who carries the pro-
ject forward).
We can't claim a finished task;
Our work is just begun;
We know twill take many years
To do what we want done;
For our outstanding project"
Is to completely cloak
In robes of living beauty
The whole of Pocomoke.
We've sought cooperation
Of churches, clubs, and schools,
And organized our forces,
Established working rules
BY which we would cultivate
A deep and strong desire
To make our town attractive
A place all will admire.
A "flower personality,
To add to local charm,
Is a feature of our plan
Indifference to disarm;
Crepe myrtle blooming everywhere
We feel will be stroke
In rousing in all residents
Real pride in Pocomoke.
Appeal to love of beauty
We make through Flower hows;
In this refined activity
Oneness of purpose grows.
Around all public places,
With awakened civic pride,
We're planting trees and shrubs and
flowers,
That beauty may abide.
We advocate endorsement
Of, existing measures
Created to afford our town
Wholesome outdoor pleasures:
A park, playground equipment,
Enticing, healthful joys
To add zest to adult life
And please our girls and boys.
High hopes, fine deeds, true courage,
These things we achieve
AS into the world fabric
With patient hands we weave
Shining threads of beauty,
Bright blessings to invoke
Upon the place where loved ones
dwell,
Our hometown, Pocomoke.

Reserve Aviation Officers
Win Pay Ru|inq

Naval Reserve aviation officers
who are serving on active duty with
the fleet and who become eligible for
promotion are to receive the advance
pay due on account of increased
rank from the date of commission
ing rather from the dates on which
they accept their commissions and
execute the oath of Office, the Con-
troller General of the United States
has ruled. Although these young
officers went Immediately on active
duty for definite period upon COM
pletion of their schooling at the
Naval Air Station at Pensacola, it
was disclosed that the Navy De-
partment is planning to keep them
on active duty beyond the stipulated
period in connection with the plans
to increase the air arm of the fleet.
1t was pointed out that the Avia-
ton Reserve program, as contem-
plated by the Naval Reserve Act of
this year, is to provide additional
pilots for service in the fleet, al
though the ultimate effect will be to
provide additional Reserve pilots for
assignment to Naval Reserve Avia-
ton Squadrons upon the return of
officers of this class to inactive duty.
1t was added that conditions similar
in all respects to service in the Navy
govern officers of the Reserve Avia-
ton on active duty. The depart
ment asserted that, in addition to
administrative delays in issuing au-
thority for examinations and mark
ing examination papers in advance
OF the dates on which such officers
become due for promotion, the ext
gencies of the service. such as fleet
problems and other duties occupying
the full time of all personnel, many
times will prevent assembling super
visory boards to conduct their ex-
aminations or the presnce of the
candidate before such boards.
The Navy Department said that it
is strongly Of the opinion that such
officers in active service are entitled
to the same privileges in regard to
date of commencement of increased
pay on promotion as officers of the
Regular establishment, in view of
the fact that they are subject to the
same service conditions as officers
Of the Regular Navy. A large num-
Der of Reserve officers are affected
by the decision. and it was said that
this number will greatly increase as
later classes become due for pro-
motion.
The Controller General pointed
out that the statute authorizes pro-
motion from the grade of ensign to
lieutenant, Junior grade. after three
years service. He asserted that
while promotion is to an ONCE in the
Naval Reserve and must be accepted
to become effective, it is also in
tended as means of providing the
pay contemplated to be paid to per-
sons commissioned from a status Of
aviation cadets of the Naval Reserve.
