ENFORCE REGULATIONS
GOVERNING CRABS

The State Conservation Commits
sion inspectors at Crisfield have been
busy, enforcing the regulations gov
erning the crab business.
Wednesday of last week warrant
was procured for Mr.. Lee Smith, for
having in his possession sponge, or
mother crabs, the marketing of which
is unlawful. The crabs came from a.
cross the bay, and were in a cargo
brought to Crisfield by Mr.. Smith for
one Of the packing houses.
Another day the inspectors confis-
Gated a number of understood soft
shell crabs, brought from Virginia,
by Mr.. Lee johnson. Mr.. johnson
was warned about this violation and
assured he would be prosecuted if it
happened again. The inspectors turn
ed the crabs over to the McCready
Memorial Hospital for the use of the
patients there, as it would have been
a waste of them to have returned them
to the waters from which they came.

HIGHWAY SAFETY
ATTRACTS MUCH
PUBLIC INTEREST
Highway Accidents Show Noted
Decrease AS Compared
With Former Years

One can hardly pick up newspaper
without finding articles and items that
concern safety on the highways. There
must always be new and inexperienced
drivers; nevertheless the percentage
of the right kind Of drivers is con-
stantly on the increase. The proof
of this fact is shown in steady and
encouraging reduction in the percent
age of fatalities and accidents.
The drivers are doing good work in
behalf of greater safety on the high
ways and whether you like it or not,
that fellow-driver who gently calls
you down today is likely saving you
from being bawled out by traffic
cop tomorrow. Unwelcome and I'M
sought warnings about ones short
comings at the wheel have tendency
to raise tempers and blood pressure,
but they have their useful effect. At
tie all, it is part of a spontaneous eff
fort of several million drivers to trans
late the methods that have worked
successfully in the past into psy
chology, for We Drivers Of the future.
Of course we all know about the
rules of parking, the red and green
lights and, the traffic signs, and as
we remember most of the admonitions
of We Drivers booklet we recall that
it's principal pressure was upon the
Drivers. The good reason for this is
found in the fact that the standard
makes of cars carry every provision
for safety. But the driver at the
wheel has it in his power to defeat
all scientific and mechanical perfec-
tons-he must tend to his job.
These important facts are worth
talking about, writing about and think
ing about at this time, because in the
coming weeks and months large part
of the entire population will be seek
ing short or long vacation trips-per-
haps you will be one of the number.
Whoever sits at the wheel assumes the
responsibility for pleasant vacation,
through faithful obedience to the rules
of the road.
Automobiles will skid on certain
kinds of highways, and they run safe
ly only about so-fact around tight
corners, or for that matter along
straight roadways.
Drive carefully and have no regrets!

EAGLE MILLS STANDS
ON STEVENSON'S site

Mr.. Raymond c. Drydan is one of
the successful business men of POGO
moke and is proprietor of the Eagle
Mills, an advertisement of which ap-
pears in this Anniversary edition.
Mr.. Dryden's mill stands on the site
of one of the industries which flour
ished when Pocomoke City was New
town. There on the same ground was
Stevenson's planning mill, which turn
ed out very high grade of house
materials. At that time, Stevenson's
mill marked almost the boundary of
the city in that direction. Today
Eagle Mills is almost in the center
of business activity. Thus showing
what changes have been wrought.

GRANDSON INHERITED
ANCESTORS ACUMEN

The cut of H. Merrill Walters was
handed to us some time ago, when it
appeared his friends might have had
designs on some political preferment
for him; but something changed the
political complexion, so it seemed,
and the cut went into retirement.
Mr.. Walters grandfather was the
late I. H. Merrill whose name still
lives in the firm now doing business
in Pocomoke. This man was one of
the old firm of Dickinson, Merrill,
and Dryden, and no one of that COM
bination had keener business acu-
men that Mr.. Merrill. His grandson
seems to have inherited much of that
judgment which made Mr.. Merrill so
successful. He has used it to good eff
feet in his chosen work-the Fire
Insurance profession.

CAR PLUNGES HEAD
FIRST into DITCH

Ernest Penuel, aged SO, of Delmar
and Miss Jane Morgan of Seaford,
narrowly escaped serious injury Sun
day of last week when the car in
which they were riding was forced
off the Line Road, east of Delmar, and
plunged head first into nine-foot
ditch bordering the road.
The car which was being driven by
Miss Morgan, who is the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Howard H. Morgan, the
granddaughter of Mr.. Penuel failed to
negotiate right angle turn and fear
ton, Mr.. Penuel grabbed the wheel OF
ing that it would run head on into a
car approaching in the opposite direc-
the csIr, throwing it into the bottom of
the ditch barely missing two trees and
a pole. Mr.. Penuel suffered severe
decorations of the face and was treat
ed at the office of DR.. Howard Le-
Gates. Miss Morgan was shaken up
severely and suffered from minor in
juries and shock. It took a wrecking
crew two hours and a half to bring
the damaged car back on the road.
Maryland State Police are investiga-
ting the accident.

POTATO SHIPMENT
BELOW LAST YEAR

Potato shipments to the large East
ern markets are moving steadily from
the Delmarva Peninsula although indi-
cations point to much smaller crop
than last year. This is based on COM
parsons with last season. Up to
Thursday of last week, the Eastern
Shore of Maryland has sent out six
carloads as compared with 294 for the
corresponding period last year and a
total of 1,675 for the season; while
the Virginia counties of the Peninsula
have shipped 1888 CARROTS as compar-
ed with 1882 up to July 5 and total
of 1866 for the season. The Norfolk
section shipments are 827 CARROTS less
than they were this time last year.
