DIR. ]. c. WOOD
GUEST SPEAKER
FOR ROTARIANS
Gives Interesting TravelOgue At
Local Meeting Of Club
Here Last Monday

DIR. Justin C. Wood, of Salisbury,
was the guest speaker, on Monday
evening", at the regular meeting OF
the local Rotary Club. His talk was
an interesting travelogue; the Doctor
having taken extensive trips in many
and various countries. He was lis
tened to, with a great deal of inter
est.
Other visitors from Salisbury were
Messrs. George Chandler and Milton
Pope. Also Mr.. Fred Flowers, of the
Princess Anne Rotarians; Messrs.
Thomas and Pollard, of Chadbourne,
N. c., the former being a member of
the Rotary Club of that place. These
two are connected with the Agricul-
tural Department, and, at present, are
located in Pocomoke.
The club members were out in full
force, with the exception Of Burleigh
Morris, who has been housed some
weeks on account Of illness. POGO
moke Rotarians have always had q
splendid attendance record, and at the
recent District Conference received
honorable mention for this. The club
has thirty members on its roll.

BALL CLUB TO
Be BRACED BY
new TALENT
A New Catcher Is Reported To
Have Been Obtained From
The Boston Red SOX
ATTENDANCE AT PARK
PROVING SATISFACTORY

The Pocomoke Ball Club as a whole
have been playing some very good
ball and some that is just ordinary,
but, considering the scores by which
some of the other teams have been
beaten, one is forced to say that they
have been putting up a good brand OF
ball.
There is still some weak spots on
the club, but Manager Kingdom and
Owner Ehlers are working just as
fast as they can to try to secure
good ball players to patch up these
spots. It is understood they are in
contact with some pitchers which will
help bolster up this department.
Some of the pitchers seems to be
having trouble getting started, but
if the weather stays as it has been
for the past week, they will soon be
in the pink of condition. Bill Luce,
big highlander, seems to have been
in tip top shape in the last two con-
tests in which he has appeared. On
last Sunday, he went in to relieve
Rehbein in the second, who was with
drawn on account of wildness, and
did not allow the hard hitting Cen
treville club but 8 scattered hits in
the tx innings that he worked. On
Wednesday night, Bill lost a tough
one to the. Cambridge team, allowing
only 2 hits in the ball game, but
these were punched with two walks
to lose the contest for him.

CHILD STRUCK BUT
NOT SERIOUSLY HURT

An accident occurred Saturday
night in the business section of the
town, which caused considerable ex-
element but which, fortunately, did
not result seriously for the child in
volved.
During a busy period when traffic
was heaviest, a little girl, whose name
could not. be learned, but who was
apparently six or seven years of age
started across the street in front of
Scher's store. Before reaching the
opposite side she evidently let go of
her mothers hand and started to run
just as a car driven by a resident of
Snow Hill approached. The left fen
der struck the child. The car was
Immediately stopped and the occu-
pants and bystanders offered assis-
lance removing the child to DR.. Halls
office where it was found her injur-
les were slight.
The accident was entirely unavoid-
able.

ELKS LODGE
IS ASSURED FOR
POCOMOKE CITY
Crisfield Elks Have Been Co.
operating To Form Similar
Organization Here
INSTITUTION OF NEW
LODGE ON JUNE 20

Pocomoke City is now assured of an
Elks Lodge. On Wednesday evening
of last week meeting, of those in
terested in the project, was held at
the Municipal Building which was
presided over by Mr.. Charles P. Boy
er, a representative of the Grand
Lodge Benevolent and Protective Or
der of Elks.
For the past few years, many citi-
zens of Pocomoke have been DESTROYS
of having a lodge here, as quite few
of them were members of Crisfield
lodge and attending meetings was
somewhat of an inconvenience to them
as well as to those living in Virginia
and affiliated with the order there.
The Crisfield Elks have been work
ng diligently in cooperating with the
Pocomoke boys, and lodge here now
seems assured.
The meeting was an enthusiastic
one. Due to the Pocomoke-F ederals-
burg ball game the attendance was not
as large as was expected at the Elks
meeting.
The Pocomoke boys presented a pc
tition together with the necessary
funds to Mr.. Boyer as an evidence Of
good faith. The petition contained
the names of the most prominent and
representative citizens in this CONF
munity. Mr.. James p. Blaine, Jr.,
was named Secretary and Mr.. Herbert
Smith, Chairman, pending the cleo
ton of regular officers at later
date.
The date of institution of the new
baby lodge was set for June 29th,
next. A dispensation to work will be

RESIDENTS OF
ST. GEORGES ARE
MAKING PROTEST
Definitely Opposed To COntem-
plated Construction Of
New Canal Bridge

Many residents of the Delmarva
Peninsula have had reason to regret
the destruction of the bridge over
the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
at St. Georges, and, no doubt, are
interested in the matter of the con-
struction of the new span.
Opposition to the recommended
four-lane, fixed, high-level bridge at
St. Georges was expressed by repres-
entatives of st. Georges at confer
ence of army engineers and Della
wares congressional representatives,
in the office of U. S. Senator James
H. Hughes in Washington Wednesday.
Residents of st. Georges, Albert
w. James, legal representative of the
town, said, are unalterably opposed to
the high-level fixed bridge to replace
the one destroyed January 10.
He said townspeople are convinced
such span would destroy the town"
Mr.. James said the conference was
arranged because we don't want to
see st. Georges wiped off the map"
eve are trying to find out where
the recommendation for the high level
fixed bridge came from and seem
unable to trace the source Of the pro-
posal," Mr.. James said.
"Such a bridge would cost about
81, 100000 and it would cost only
100000 to replace the former bridge"
he explained.
"The State Highway Department
would be subjected to great expense in
land condemnation and arranging for
approaches for a high level bridge.
"I was recently informed at a con-
ference with the division engineer of
the War Department in New York
that the government is interested only
in the matter of navigation, and
high level bridge is not necessary for
maintenance of navigation.
est. Georges wants the same type
of bridge constructed as that which
was destroyed" Mr.. James contin-
ued.

bridge, but not a high level bridge
