cation with several prospects with the
hope of landing additional talent.
The names of Reisinger and Legates,
the latter from Harrington, Delaware;
hard hitting outfielders, both; Roberts
from Newark, Del, and Hovat, of
Uniontown, Pa, catchers; Quadrino,
from Brooklyn, N. Y, outfielder; and
a class pitcher, name not yet given
out.
On Wednesday evening, DeLuca, a
new outfielder showed up well, get
ting two hits out of four times up
and accepting two chances in the out
field. Perron, Rehbein and Valentine
held Milford to six hits, while the
locals banged out Is off the the deliv-
cries of two Delaware FINGERS.
Altogether, the boys have been CIV
ing a good account of themselves, and
while just little more punch would
have landed a victory in some of the
games, still that's all in the game.
Notably this lack of punch showed up
in the home game with Salisbury
three on the first inning, nobody
down, and all three died on the bases
for lack of drive of almost any sort.
But on Wednesday evening, the bat
ting power was in evidence, and Po-
comoke won by a margin of z runs.
Any community where there is a
ball team, must accept the fortunes
of war. No aggregation can win all
the games, and it does look now as if
the locals are ready to play good ball
Let's give them the usual support.

Mr.. E. J. Clarke,
Dear Friend:
I am enclosing one and one-half
dollars to pay for renewal subscrip-
ton to your paper for one year. In
the last issue saw that Emma Blades
had passed on before.
There are a few of us, the old-ti-
mers hanging on yet. I was born May
80, 1856, and will be SO this year. l
am perfectly healthy, have not an ache
nor pain any where and only show
my age when I stand or walk.
If you remember my father, he was
weak in his last days in his feet, used
cane, and frequently stumbled and
fell down. I guess I am "a chip off
the old block" for I have the same
trouble. I use a cane and occasional
ly fall.
Your friend,
Tom
p. S. I stand for peace and am OPP
posed to war of aggression.
NV motto: millions for defense OF
home and U. S. A., but not one cent
for aggression or invasion" We were
foolish once. We were the monkeys
who pulled chestnuts out of the fire
for our European friends in war to
end all war. Did we do it?
We need world agreement or gov
eminent to peacably settle all dis
putes and international trouble.
The plan I am talking and writing
about is something like this. Let e.
very country or nation have two Tor
an equal number off delegates to rep
resent them in world congress made
up by every and all of the different
nationalities of the world to consider
and decide their disputes to peacable
conclusion and render it.
A failure to settle the above verdict
as rendered peacably, would mean the
expulsion of the offenders from the

any dispute. And both the guilty and
the innocent pay the price or penalty
in the end. Peace on Earth, Good
Will to Men. The Jew, The Christian
or Protestant all believe in the ten
Commandments. Let them be the one
law to settle all disputes.
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1939-05-12

Congress temporarily until it was
decided, they were entitled to res
toration to membership.
If there is any other or better plan
to end all war, am heart and soul
for it.

ALASKA LIVES SAVED

OF very great importance to Alaska is the an
nouncement by Elmer F. Andrews, Wage and Hour
Administrator, that time spent by miners in voun-
tary attending first aid and safety meetings does
not constitute working time for which the employees
must be paid.
An opinion to the contrary by Wage and Hour
counsel threatened to destroy the safety program
of the u S. Bureau of Mines in Alaska. In fact
eral companies had abandoned mine safety courses
of instruction when the word came from Washington
that employees would have to be paid for attending
them.
If the miners to be paid their regular hourly
rate for attending the classes tas they have been
and will continue to be by many companies that
would be enough of hardship on the operations, but
as they were working full week in the mines, the
safety instruction hours would be overtime and would
have to be paid for at higher rate This would
have created situation with which mines coulG
cope in only way-by dropping their programs OF
mine safety instruction. This would have been dis
astrous for thousands of lives have been safeguarded
by the courses which miners attend voluntarily to
learn safety and measures.

tralia New Zealand and the Union of South Africa.
Incidentally, the Metropolitan reports that the 1899
death rate among industrial policy holders was the
lowest on record.
These figures may mean only complete
registration. Many statisticians do not think SO.
They think something is indicated that has not hap
pened in the United States since the postwar rise in
the birth rate during the period from 1919 1921
So and if the rate shows further increase the pre-
dctions of the committee population problems of
the National Resources Committee may have to be
revised This report suggested that our population
would reach peak of 13800oooO in 1855 and decline
to 12800O000 in 1896. The process of decline would
bring the most profound changes with older groups
dominating our national economy limiting oppor-
tuniy in many directions but sabilizing it also The
long term curve over 100 years supports the commit
tees findings, but sharp upturn in the birth rate
would be bouno to modify them.

RISING BIRTH RATE

Persons inclined to become gloomy about the de-
clining curve IN American birth rate will lind
comfort in figures just compiled by the United States
Census Bureau. These show that our birthrate has
risen for the second consecutive year and has now
reached 176 per 1000 of population against low
point of 65 registered in 1888 Since the
birth chart shows I'll per 1000 in 1884 1863 in 1895,
1877 in 1886 ITO in 1887 and 176 last year, for six
year gain of slightly more than full point.
Perhaps the period is too short and the gains too
small to indicate anything like reversal of trend.
But they do hint that the dip in the which many
students of vital statistics assumed would continue
may have been at least temporarily checked Figures
gathered by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company
which set birth rate higher than the Census
Bureau, suggest the fluctuating rise not only
in this country, but in the Scandinavian and Baltic
countries England and Wales Northern Ireland, Aus
