"Chirps'' ~
from the
Democrats Pen

Well, Sir, there is little feathered
songster that has given me, lately,
a mild case of the "Jitters." 1t flies
against my dining room window; II
I go into the kitchen, it follows me
there; and if I enter the hallway,
there it is also. Reminds me of that
Biblical passage which quotes Ruth
as saying: "Whither thou goest, 1
will CO."
It is of the mocking-bird genus,
and, apparently, it is most eager to
get inside the house; but, if I make
a motion to hoist a window, it takes
its flight, remains until the Sun makes
its diurnal circuit, and then the bird
comes once more to beat its wings a.
gainst my window pane.
One day last week, I left my front
door to enter my jitterbug; some
times call a car, and there was my
friend, the mockingbird, making every
honest effort, so far as could judge,
to investigate the interior of that
motor vehicle. On my appearance it
hoped down on the running board
for second or two, then flew to the
branches of a nearby tree.
Some time back, it disappeared for
two days, and I thought it had decided
to migrate to warmer chimes, where
the Sun would lend encouragement
to it's marvellous warblings, and where
the Southland teens with thousands,
not only of its kind, but of all species
of the winged creatures. But it
seemed 10th to leave, and now it's
once more pecking at the window.
Now, said it has given me mild
case of the "Jitters." And why? Well,
you know the great English poet,
Wadsworth, once said:
"Our birth is but sleep and for
getting;
The soul that rises within US, had
elsewhere its setting,
And cometh from affair.""
And, so, I was just wondering
whether that little denizen of the air
was the embodiment of some departed
spirit, which, when the time came,
would leave it's easement and incor-
porate itself into some creature of a
higher order of existence.
A few years ago, when H. L. Men
cken was relieving himself of some of
his diatribes, having the Eastern
Shore as the object of his ruthless
pen, made the remark in this col
umn that I wondered whittier earnest

MRS. R. |. OWENS
AND HER MOTHER
In AUTO SPILL
Car Overturned On Salisbury
Snow Hill Road. Mother
Suffers Broken Ribs

Mrs. r. I. Givens OF this city, and
her mother, Mrs. John Bundick, of
Stockton, had a rather narrowing ex-
perience Wednesday night when the
car in which they were riding over
turnued in a ditch on the Salisbury
Snow Hill road shortly before s
o'clock.
According to report Mrs. Givens,
who was driving, applied the brakes
in order to avoid striking large stick
of wood on the highway but due to the
slippery condition of the road the car
skidded and turned completely over
crushing the top of the car and pin

the car. Hell arrived in the shape of
several cars and the two were extri-
Gated and rushed to the Peninsula
General Hospital in Salisbury.
Mrs. Owens, who was suffering
from shock and minor injuries, was
released from the hospital and able
to return home the same night. Mrs.
Bundick remained for x-rays which
revealed broken ribs but no more SER
ious injuries.
Both were fortunate in escaping
with their lives as the top of the car
was crushed when it overturned.

IS
CLOSED TO THE
FIRST INFANTRY
Under Order Of War Depart
ment All Combat Units
Were Ordered Increased
NEW RECRUITS RAPIDLY
WHIPPED INTO CONDITION

Brig. Gen. D. John Marley, COM
handing the First Infantry, Maryland
National Guard reported to Major
General Milton A. Reckord, 10th Di-
vision Commander, that recruiting has
been closed in the majority of COM
panies making up his command.
Under the special War Department
order that followed President Roose-
velt's declaration of a "limited emer-
gency", all combat units in the Mary
land National Guard were directed to
increase their strength by approx
mately 20 per cent.
When the Statewide drive for re-
cruits began, the First Regiment had
a strength of lila men; it was au-
thorized to increase this strength to
1890. Recruits have been pouring in
at every armory of the regiment scat
tered about Maryland, and 152 new
recruits have been enlisted within the
past ten weeks.
General Marley in statement is
sued from his headquarters in Fred
erick said that only "a more men are
needed to bring the regiment up to it's
full authorized strength, and that he
expects all recruiting to stop within
the next ten days.
He was liberal in his praise of "the
energy and enthusiasm" shown by
both the officers and men of the var
ious units of the First Regiment in
going out and encouraging desirable
young men to join their home compan-
les.
AS result Of the extra week re-
Gently spent in the field by the First
Regiment, and the extra period of ar

being whipped rapidly into condition.

ROTARY HISTORY
MADE MEETING
WAS TELECAST
This Is Believed To Have Been
The First Meeting Of Its
Kind Ever Held

Rotary history was made on Decem-
Der 8, when a Rotary club meeting
was telecast for the first time. The
Rotary Clubs of Troy, Albany, and
Schenectady, New York, held simultan
eous evening meetings at which were
placed television receivers. A special
program entitled "Rotary's First
Meeting by Television" began stimuli
taneously' at each of the clubs, at 600
P. NJ, E. S. T. The televised portion
of the program emanated from the
General Electric Company's new
studios in Schenectady and consisted
of group singing led by a special
songleader and talks by Paul P. Har-
ris, founder and president emeritus;
Walter D. Head, president; and Ches-
ley R. Perry, secretary, of Rotary In
ternational. The telecast began at
TOO P. M. E. S. T. and presented a
program that finds its counterpart in
the meetings of almost every Rotary
cluh-the portion of the club program
which generally emanates from the
speakers table.
This is believed to have been the
first meeting of it's kind-where speak
ers from a single platform have adj
dressed, and have been seen at, Rotary
meetings in more than one city.

TUBERCULOSIS
SEAL SALE NEAR
HALF WAY MARK
Sales Amount To $461.9S Which
Is Short $53S.52 Of The
Amount Set
EXPECT TO REACH QUOTA
BEFORE THE DEADLINE

Reports submitted Wednesday by
the various chairmen in the tubercu-
losis seal campaign showed a total OF
S461.68 credited to Worcester County
which is just $53s.32 short of the
quota for the county. Of this amount
Pocomoke has turned in $94.31 which
shows a deficit, so far, of $155.69.
Mrs. R. w. Landlord, Pocomoke
chairman, expressed the belief that
Pocomoke would reach its quota be-
fore the sale closes as several organi-
cations have made donations and 9TH
ers are expected to contribute as the
campaign gains Roadway.
The colored citizens of the town are
cooperating and will do their part to
finance this important program in
Worcester County. Working locally
are the following chairmen: Florence
Waters, st. James Church; Rev. Will
liams, Mt. Zion; Sebia Butler, St.
Johns; Mamie Foster, Cedar Hall.
It is earnestly desired that Worces-
ter do her part in helping to fight
this dread disease and those who have
not responded are asked to do SO now.
Pocomoke has always done its part
in any worthwhile project and the seal
sale is one of the most important prof.
ects of it's kind to be brought before
the public. Purchase tuberculosis
seals or if you wish to make dona-
ton, no matter how small, turn your
contribution over to Mrs. r. w. Lank-
ford, local chairman, or some member
of the following assistant chairmen:
Mrs. James M. Crockett, Mrs. William
R Willard, Mrs. w. Sidney Stevens,
Mrs. John H. Clarke, Mrs. Harry
Shaw, or Mrs. Phil Creath, and it
will help to maintain the reputation
the citizens of Pocomoke have always
had in maintaining worthy cause.

Democrat Not To Print
Santa Claus Letters

"The Democrat" has received
a number of letters, written by
the little folk and addressed to
Santa Claus. The editor desires
to state that, for several years
the Democrat" has not print
ed communications to this
patron saint, Because of the
abuse of the custom by some
specimens of humanity who
thought it funny to joke about
the matter.
These so-called "wits" would
address letters to Santa to send
a doll, for instance, to an old
maid who had gotten beyond
the toy age; or a scooter to an
octogenerian who needed a pair
of crutches, rather. In view OF
these jokes (?) the Democrat
thought it best to send a wire to
Santa and tell him the names of
all the good children in POGO
moke and vicinity. He now
knows who they are and they
will certainly be remembered.

TWO ANNOUNCE
CANDIDACY FOR
FIRST DISTRICT
Senators Dudley G. Roe And d.
J. Ward Are Out For Seat
In u. S. Congress
QUEEN ANNE DEMOCRATS
HONOR ROE AT DINNER

The First Congressional District
has now two candidates for a seat in
Congress, to succeed Judge T. Alan
Goldsborough. Sen. D. J. Ward, Of
Wicomico county, was appointed by
the State Central Committees to fill
out the unexpired term Of Mr.. Colds
borough, and now State Senator Dud-
ley G. Roe, of Queen Anne county
starts the ball rolling, followed closely
by Mr.. Ward. There are others in
the offing, and lively primary fight
seems inevitable.
Senator Roe's announcement was
made at a dinner in his honor given
in the armory in Centreville, on Tues
day, by the Democratic organization
of Queen Anne's county. More than
300 persons attended.
Three State Senators were present,
two of them from Eastern Shore and
one from st. Mary's county. Also
present was Clarence w. Miles, known
in the State House during the past
legislative session as the Governors
chief field marshal.
Another in attendance was J. Mil
lard Tawes, State Comptroller. The
Senators on hand were Arthur H.
Brice, Kent, President Of the Senate;
Earl Bennett, Dorchester, and Philip
H. Dorsey, Jr., st. Mary's, who was
mentioned in the dinner program as
"the assistant Democratic floor lead
err" Senator Thomas F. Johnson, of
Worcester; A. Raymond Marvel, of
Talbot and G. C. Squier, of Cecil, did
not attend.
Just how all these Senators-and
the others from the Eastern Shore
who were not present-stood on Sem
ator Roe's candidacy was not ascer-
tanned Immediately. In the First dis
trict county ties bind and there may
be candidates from some of these coun
ties who will claim the allegiance of
their Senators.
Prominently mentioned as a sure
candidate was Olin R. Higgins, former
State Senator from Dorchester. He is
reported to have told friends he would
seek the nomination. Another pos
slbility is Curtis r. Long, of Sails
bury.
In his speech announcing his candi-
dacy, Senator Roe expressed himself
as favoring better transportation on
the Shore in the way of ferries and
highways, and would work for a dual
highway including in its length POGO
moke City and other places. He was in
favor of mitigating restriction on wild
fowl hunting. He expressed himself
as friend to the watermen and the
farmer.
He also said, 81 bitterly opposed the
Hoover Farm Board before the Agri-
cultural Committee of Congress on
March 81, 1929, and I am convinced
that this vicious, pernicious piece of
legislation materially contributed to
the awful Hoover depression.

QUEER ACTIONS
OF A STRANGER
CAUSE FURRY
Man Under Dope Or Liquor
Crawls On Pavement And
Emits RaucOuS Sounds

Some little excitement was caused
ION Tuesday of this week by an in
dividual who had sprawled on the
pavement, corner Market Street and
Clarke Avenue, going through mo-
tions that resembled swimming strokes
more than anything else.
At the same time he was emitting
vocalisms that resembled very much
the inhuman sounds heard from the
wild man in the circus, as he was
viewed by the curious from a plat
form looking down into pit. AS the
circus freak chewed on snakes hides
and raw beef bones, he howled and
raved in order to bring in the dimes
from those who were out to spend
their money and have good time.
Such were the tones coming from
this man on the street corner. Off
GERS finally took him in charge and
escorted him to the lookup. Here he
stayed until the influence of dope or
liquor subsidized. He was given a
square meal and started on his way
South, where doubtless, he hitch-hik-
ed his way to Norfolk, his admitted
port of entry. No one knew whence
he came, nor by what name he was
known-a wayfarer on the highways
of time.

PUBLIC HEALTH
COUNCILS MAY
BE FEDERATED
Matter Discussed On Tuesday
In Meeting Of POcOmOke
Health Council

The question of federating the var
ious local Public Health Councils in
this County was discussed at the reg
ular monthly meeting of the Pocomoke
Health Council held Tuesday evening,
December 18th in the new Clinic quar-
tiers on Willow street. The local coun-
Gil approved in principle the proposed
Constitution which would achieve the
federation by creating a Worcester
County Public Health Association and
expressed willingness to cooperate
with the Committee which was ap-
pointed at the Countrywide meeting in
Snow Hill on November 18th to study
the possibilities of organizing a Coun-
ty-wide group.
On the program, Mr.. Charles Shat
fer, Sanitary Inspector, discussed the
duties of the Sanitary Inspector. DR..
Willard, County Health Officer, in a
brief talk pointed out the need for
education of the people if the public
health of Worceter County was to be
properly advanced. Mrs. Jennie Pope
gave a report on the Public Health
Meeting held in Snow Hill on Novem-
Der 18th. Mrs. William Hillman pre-
sided. Refreshments were served af-
ter the meeting was over.
