Of Inc auction was governed largely

diamonds. If he did not. East bid

In one case West started with

the nearest to u fit the side could
find, but even this was set three
tricks.
South made a third-hand opener
of diamond at one table. West
bid 1-Reart, North doubled, East
called 1-Spade, and South here bid
2-Diamonds. Taking this as a con-
fession that the original bid was
weak, North passed, and the side
made exactly diamonds.
One pair got into 4-Diamonds in
the East, for set of five tricks, one
West player was set at 2-Hearts
not doubled, and one South made
3-Diamonds. Just why no North
South pair reached 3-No trump is
hard to figure, for there are many
sequences of sound bidding that
could produce that contract. But
nobody did. Perhaps it was due to
q sort Of jinx that seems to hover
around these queer anisft deals
which nearly everybody bids in a
way different from everybody else.

red about one-fourth mile outside of
Cape Charles.
Case, who was suffering from shock
and in dazed condition, received deep
gashes on the right arm and over his
eye. It is believed that he must have
dozed at the wheel as he apparently
recalls nothing Of what happened.
Mrs. Case, who was riding in front
with her husband, suffered deep CASH
es in the forehead and severe shock.
Mrs. Foreman sustained injuries to
her head, severe shock, gashes on the
left leg, and possible dislocated verte-
brae.
All three of the injured were given
first aid by local physicians and re-
moved to the Memorial Hospital at
Nassawadox, twenty-four minutes af-
ter the ambulance was summoned to
the scene.
Henry, who was calling on custom
ers in Cape Charles, was not in the
truck at the time of the accident.

STAFFORD FAILS

RATE REDUCTION

1948 it was disclosed this week when
terms of the contract of purchase be-
tween the town of Seaford and the
Seaford Light and Power Company
became public.
The purchase contracts calls for
a payment of $4,000 by Seaford for
the plant erected by the Seaford Light
and Power Company, wholly owned
subsidiary of Fairbanks-Morse Com
pany. In addition interest is to be
paid at the rate of per cent year
or approximately $4,000 bringing the
total cost to the town of approximate
ly $2s6,OOO.
Payment for the plant is to be made
by the retirement Of revenue certifi-
Gates, issued by the town against the
excess of gross receipts over actual
operating costs.
For breach Of contract, either by
failure to pay the certificate when due
and by reducing rates against the
wishes of the certificate holders will
have the right to take charge and
possession of the plant and lines and
resume operation under the franchise
which the town granted to the Seaford
Light and Power Company on Sep
TENDER 8, 1889. In that event the

Worcester Democrat, -
Pocomoke City, Md.
Dear DR.. Clarke:
am kept so busy in one Of the
largest high schools in Los Angeles
that I don't find time for much writ
ing, being obliged even to neglect my
personal correspondence.
The University Of Southern Cali
fornia conducts pay summer school
every year, having arranged with the
Board of Education for the use of our
high school and equipment. This
keeps me busy until the first week in
August when I get my vacation, which
I usually spend at Redlands with my
brother and sister-in-law. Helen, my
niece, whose wedding account you pub
lished last summer, finds life in a
mining camp on the island of Mas
bate, Philippine Islands very interest
ing, though, she writes she has to OBJ
serve almost as much ceremony and
etiquette in entertaining as If she
were at the White House. Being very
fond of pets, she has "great" time
with Spanish-speaking parrot, which
she is teaching to talk English, a dog,
and a monkey named Dopey, whose
mischevious pranks evoke much amuse
ment and laughter. A neighbours
monkey, Charlie Mccarthy, comes ov-
er to see Dopey, and they swing on
the gate, or climb the guava tree. She
and her husband are now on vaca-
ton trip on the Southern cruise.
I am sending you an account from
the San Jose Mercury Herald of the
wedding of my cousins daughter,
Louise Bacigalupi, her mother being
before marriage Mary e. Jones,
daughter of Robert Boston Jones, who
grew to manhood in Pocomoke. About
a week after the wedding the lattcr's
brother, Charles F. Jones, a son of
Robert B. Jones, passed away sudden
ly in Hollywood. The notice of this,
as it appeared in the Santa Clara
Journal, is also enclosed. In addition
to pioneering in colored motion pic
lures, he invented the slow movement
of taking pictures. His loss is felt
keenly by his family, relatives and
friends in the West.
Kind regards to all Pocomoke
friends,
Sincerely,
Marie G. Jones

in the meantime on the towns credit,
The purchase price includes a tai
debt of $1,000 of the Company to the
Federal Government. IF this debt is
reduced the town gets the benefits,
if it is increased it becomes a further
obligation of the town, plus interest.
Gross receipts from the plant and
lines are to be placed in a special
fund. Out of this fund may be paid
only legitimate and necessary operat-
ing expenses and any prior deduction
required by law, according to the con-
tract. The balance goes toward re-
duction of the $4,000 debt and in
terest. No mention is made of funds
from this source for replacement or
for additional plant equipment or
lines.

LIQUOR BOARD DOUBTS
LIQUOR LICENSE POWER

The Talbot Liquor Board is in some
what of quandry, and has asked the
States Attorney General to rule for
them.
j It is uncertain whether or not the
Board can issue hard liquor licenses.
The law is not specific about it, and
the Board wants to know just what
its authority is. It looks like it has
not authority to issue such licenses.
If it has not then the Clerk of the
Court may also be in doubt. The
Clerk has issued all licenses so far,
now the Liquor Board issues beer Ii
censes. But what to do about hard
liquor licenses is the question.
There are all told 55 places in the
county authorized to sell beer, and
II of them are authorized to sell beer,
wine and liquor, two are wholesalers,
~of beer.
The license fee for hard liquor is
: $25O.OO a year. To sell liquor over
the counter the license is $1,000 and
the Liquor Board is uncertain whether
~or not it can issue license of this
sort. AS the hard liquor license are
not due until May the Board will have
ample time to find out it's authority.
There are several attorneys who
have examined the law, and they say
it is very vague in several places,
The attorney for the Board J. P.
Stafford, Jr., has already given his
opinion as the Boards authority.

largest number of marriage licenses
issued during any one month since the
48-hour waiting law went into effect
the first of last December.
The couples came from dozen diff
ferent States, but principally from
New York, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland and District of Columbia.
Under the present Maryland Mar
riage Law, couples must make appli-
cation 4S hours prior to the time it
can be issued.
The new law has had the effect of
cutting down the couples coming there
to get married about two-thirds.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
SMITHS ISLAND STAGES
HOMECOMING DAY

Home Soming Day at Rhodes Point,
Smiths Island, will be marked with
the re-opening of Calvary M. E.
Church, which for some time has been
undergoing extensive repairs, on Sun
day, August Is and gala day has
been planned by members of the
church.
The church has been almost COM
pletely renovated and will present a
fine appearance when services are re-
sumed there Sunday. The institution
has been painted, both inside and out
and new ceiling and side walls have
been constructed. Floors have been
cleaned and will shortly be covered
with new carpets.
All benches in the church have been
vanished and an attractive commune
ion table has been purchased. Rhodes
Point citizens are justly proud of the
appearance of the building since it's
renovation and are to be congratu-
lated for the fine spirit that has made
these accomplishments possible.
The repairs to the building were
made at an approximate cost of ST.,
900 and the structure is now one of
the most beautiful on the entire East
ern Shore. In order to better cele-
brate the opening of this fine church,
a special program has been prepar-
ed for Homecoming day, a program
that is certain to prove enjoyable to
all who attend. A number of guest
speakers will be on hand to aid in the
celebration.
Many visitors, as well as residents
and members Of the church, are ex-
pected to be present for the event
and it will doublessly be a bag day
at Rhodes Point. A cordial invita-
ton to all who care to attend, wheth-
er or not they are members Of the
church, has been extended by the peo-
pie of this lovely island. Visitors can
be assured of the best in hospitality
when they visit Rhodes Point.
