HIGH SCHOOL TO
GIVE DRAMATIC
PRODUCTION
"GOne With The Hillbillies" Is
To Be Staged By Dramatic
Class Temperanceville Hi
LARGE CAST OF CHORUS
AND MUSICAL NUMBERS

The Dramatic Class of Temperance
vile High School will present three
act musical comedy written and di-
rected by Carl Andrews at the high
school auditorium, Wednesday and
Thursday evenings, March LIST and
End, for the benefit of the Senior
Class.
"Gone With the Hillbillies", the title
of the comedy, promises to be one
of the gayest side splitting, musical
comedies ever presented on the East
ern Shore. The plot of this produc-
ton is only suggestive of an evening
of merriment. The action takes place
in front of Pa Able Punk's log cabin
on mountain in Tennessee. Pa Able
Punk (Royce Chesser) is the father
of eight other Punks. He has one
hobby of trying to read all the maya
zines he can secure from neighbors
and nearby towns. Ma Mable (Elea-
nor Miles) breaches to him that read
ing mess from junk books isn't good
for anyone. In the first act Ma Mable
thinks Pa has lost his mind when he
tells her Of seeing girls dancing in
front Of his cabin just like the picture
of girls in the magazines. Ma Mable,
with the aid of an old maid, Marzella
Smith (Estelle Clark tries to prove
that Pa has lost his mind.
Finally, the whole story changes
when Pa actually witnesses a trailer
coming up the mountain side with
show people from New York. The
appearance Of Rex Gordon's Bobby
Northam) show troupe on tour from
New York completely throws the Punk
family into a panic. The war starts
when Broadway show girls compete
against the Tennessee Hillbillies.
The outcome of the show is packed
with surprises. It is enough to say
that there is a treat in store when
you learn that "Gone With the Hill
billies" presents a plot with the CEN
trail idea of Broadway show people yer
sus Hillbillies.
The musical numbers are excellently
worked in this production. There is
a musical number to suit everyone.

"Gone With the Hillbillies" presents
hillybilly songs and dances, latest
dance numbers, and extravagant cos
tunes. The most outstanding attrac-
ton of the show is the parade of old
fashion costumes. Two of the cos
tunes are over one hundred years old.
This parade of old fashion costumes
is presented against a background of
colorful glorified show girls Of this
present day. The introduction Of this
special number is done by means Of
silhouette presentation.
"Gone With the Hillbillies" was pre-
vued by the Community League Feb
ruary 18th. Several members Of the
league stated that this production
promises to be as colorful, entertain
ing and outstanding as the never-to-be
forgotten "Gone Native in Hawaii"
"Gone With the Hillybillies" has a
cast of 16 chorus girls, 6 chorus boys,
% speaking parts, Is hillbillies and
Ia musical numbers.

LOCAL GUARDS
WILL STACK UP
AGAINST TEXACO
On Wednesday Night, March 8,
These Local Cagers Will
Settle Supremacy

The. long-awaited basketball game
between the local Guardsmen and the
Texaco lads has been definitely ar
ranged for Wednesday night, March
9Th at the State Armory.
The Texaco and Guard teams have
each suffered one defeat on the local
boards and that was early in the
season when the coaches of both teams
were experimenting with different
combinations and plays.
Both teams have come a long way
since then, meeting and defeating the
best teams on the Eastern Shore Pc
ninsula. The Texaco team lists a.
mong it's victims, such teams as Girls
field; Ocean City; Sea Gulls; Whisper
ing Pines; Hakoahs, former Salisbury
League Champions and the Asbury
squad of Salisbury, favorites to win
the State Teachers College Tourna-
ment. The Guards victims have been
the Phillips Packers Of Cambridge;
Bethesda, of Salisbury, Crisfield Speed
Boys; Cambridge Collegians and the
Delmar Hornets.
Inasmuch as the teams have defeat
ed the best the Shore has to offer,
local fans are considering the game
as an Eastern Shore Championship
affair.
The two teams have given Pocomoke
some excellent basketball this winter

SENATOR ROE'S
CANDIDACY IS
MAKING GAINS
Senator From Queen Anne's Is
Seeking To Fill Vacancy
Made In Lower House

The announcement that Congress-
man T. Alan Goldsborough will prob
ably resign about April LIST to accept
his appointment to the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia has caus-
ed political pots to boil along the
Shore. A special election to fill Colds
borough's seat in Congress must be
called by Governor O'Conor within
twenty days of his resignation. This
would bring the election the latter
part of April.
Senator Dudley G. Roe Of Queen
Anne's County, Democratic floor lead
er in the Senate and strong contender
for the Congressional nomination,
stated that the last ten days have
brought him outstanding gains. The
poll being conducted by the Salisbury
Times showed last Thursday that al
though Gordy was still in the lead, he
had lost several points, and Roe, a
close second, had gained most Of these
points. Senator Roe is the only can
didate who to date has the endorse
ments of State Central Committee.
men from other counties beside his
home county. Every day brings new
faces on the Roe bandwagon.
Senator Roe is in strategic posi-
ton because of his standing and activ.
ity in the present State Administra-
ton. His choice as chairman Of the
Senate Finance Committee and as ad-
ministration spokesman in the Legis-
lature is evidence of the high regard
in which he is held by the state lead
ers. This lends considerable strength
to is candidacy. In addition, Roe has
attracted wide attention by the vigor-
Gus and able leadership he has shown
in the Senate.
Roe is the best known candidate in
tie field today, with the possible ex-
ception of Gordy, who will hardly be
acceptable to the O'Conor group
whom he fought in the primary. Re-
liable political forecasters along the
Shore are predicting that Roe will
get the call.

With regard to the Peoples Court,
the legislation proposed would set up
the Court as a full-time proposition

it genuine court. According to
Reuben Oppenheimer, chairman of the
Governors commission on the Court
it is not regarded as a court now by
the Court of Appeals.
Such court, Mr.. Oppenheimer told
the House Judiciary Committee, would
really make justice possible for the
poor people of the city. He termed
the present court there outrageous,
and said tese costs prevented the very
people for whom the court was in
tended, from getting any help there.

are, comprise but a fraction of the

gave the alarm, as his car proceeded
rather shakily down the street. Pun
suit ended in the boys capture at the
next corner, where he crashed into
another auto. He was arrested and
lodged in the local lookup.
Foskey that day gave as a reason
for his kidnapping escapade that ne
had a sick brother in hospital at
Nassawadox whom he wanted to see.
At his trial he said he committed the
assault purposely; he wanted to go to
Jail and study to become minister.

their erring ways"
This plea, however, did not carry
sufficiently strong evidence of insan-
ity, to get an acquittal, he will serve
years.
Hyde's assault on David Jones was
unprovoked and, evidently, for rob-
berry purposes. He seriously wounded
the young clerk, who, happily, is re-
covering from a wound in his. neck.
There is probably some truth in
Hyde's statement of no intent to
shoot. He was young, nervous, and
may have had hair-trigger gun
which required only slight pressure
to discharge its load. The crime, tho
was a serious one, and the sentence
was keenly deserved.
Bob Manuel's murder was evidently
pre-meditated and many thought il
would be difficult for him to escape
the gallows. He will remain in Gus

life.

TWO ISSUES CONSIDERED
BY THE LEGISLATURE
Continued from Page /

curing the approval of the legislators
In the counties, under the proposed
law, the number of magistrates is re-
duced from $50 to 81, the fee system
of payment is abolished, and the ap-
pointees are given broader powers
and wider territorities. Regular sal
aries of $4,000 to 100000, depend
ing upon the court business in the dis
trict, are provided to take the place
of fees. The reform measure allows
one constable, at 100000 per year, fol-
each magistrate. These, too, have
been paid by fees up to now.
These provisions, of course, still dc
not reach the heart of the matter, the
selection of the magistrates, one Of
the all-important phases of any minor
