GOVERNOR O'CONOR SAID
TO FAVOR III. BRUCE

In an expected announcement, Gov
ernor Herbert r. O'Conor Wednesday
evening of last week pledged his sup
port to Howard Bruce, Democratic
National Committeeman, for the Uni
ted States Senate nomination against
Senator Radcliffe.
In making the announcement, Gov
ernor O'Conor said, From the stand
point of the Democratic party, I know
of no person in the State who rates
this honor more than he. For years
and years he has, with unflagging
zeal, worked for the advantage Of the
party. Ali of his efforts over the
extended period of time have been
contributed for the benefit of others,
not for himself.
"He has for long been the Demo-
cratic National Committeeman from
Maryland, and in this position has
gained an insight into the operations
of the party throughout the country.
In party affairs of Maryland he has
been constructive and wholesome in
fluence, but he has never heretofore
sought any office by which he would
be personally benefited -.
"Basing my decision upon Mr..
Bruce's desirable qualifications, his
experience, judgment and peculiar
fitness for the post, as well as upon
his lengthy prior service to the par
ty, 1 shall support him in his candi-
dacy for the United States Senate"

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
LIVES SAVED BY A
OVERWHELMING DRIVER

Published by the American Truck
ing Associations, Transport Topics" ,
in its December 18th issue prints the
following under a Salisbury, Nd,
dateline:
estate Police were asked to search
the Eastern Shore last week for a
truck driver. But the manhunt was
. not for a criminal. The truck driver
was credited with saving two lives
and a motorist wants to see that ne is
properly rewarded.
"The motorist, whose name was
withheld, was driving near here one
night when he came up behind truck
This is the story he told Sergt. c. E.
Minnick, of Sub Station E:
"The road looked entirely clear to
pass. the truck driver switched on
strong spotlight on the side of his cab
and swung it around to light up the
figures of man and woman walk
ing directly in the middle of the left
hand lane.
81 slammed on my brakes and got
back behind the truck just in time to
miss them. There is no doubt in the
world that if it hadn't been for that
drivers quick thinking 1 would have
smacked squarely into them"

CHURCH BURNS
LAST M ORTCACE
ON PROPERTIES
Old RehObOth Presbyterian
Clears Up Indebtedness
Much To Its Joy

On Sunday, December II, a spec
ial service was conducted at the old
Rehoboth Presbyterian Church.
There was the burning of the last
mortgage on their church property,
it being on the social hall, built in
1929. It was a serious undertaking,
but with determination and faith it
was begun, and by wise financial
policy completed and paid for.
The good Ladies, Young People, and
congregation worked hard, and last
Sunday saw the burning of the mort
gage, and the people are very happy
for such a time as this.
The present pastor, Rev. Herman
Bischoff, D. D., has served for about
20 years. During his long pastorate
over $4,000 has been spent in build
ing a new manse, a social hall, and
complete interior renovation of the
church; besides the regular up-keep of
the Kingdom work.
The church was at very low ebb
when DIR. Bischoff came, but through
his untiring energy with Gods help
the church took an new life, and about
145 new members during this time
were added to the church.

derstood that partial insurance was
in force.
