But for builders the real rush has
just begun. With only three months
ahead yards must complete their
orders for April and May deliveries.
Several builders now are employing
more men than ever before and
many old line manufacturers are
being revitalized and brought back
to their former standing.

SALISBURY COLLEGE GIRL
LOCATED IN WASHINGTON

Washington police on Saturday last
located Joy Lucille Heaster, of Sails
bury, daughter of C. Elmer Heaster
head of a transportation company and
member of the Wicomico board of edu-
cation and Joan Beatrice Matheke, of
Newark, N. j., after the couple had
left the University of Maryland where
they were pre-med students, earlier
last week without advising school au-
thorities.
Passport photographs which the
two 19-year-old goods had taken for
a proposed trip abroad, the tip coming
from a commercial photographer in
Washington, enabled police to find the
girls.
The two students were quoted by
officers as saying they intended to
go to Palestine and Italy.
Late Saturday George Bunting, of
Washington, uncle of Joy, went to the

5-YEAR OLD PATIENT
APPEALS TO LEGISLATURE

Master Jed Stevenson, five year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. George r. Stew
enson and a grandson of Mr.. E. r
Die was taken to Baltimore and en-
tered Johns Hopkins Hospital fol
treatment.
Master Jed is a rather independent
minded little fellow, and the very
thorough examination given him tt
determine the cause of his trouble
which was at first thought might be
appendicitis, were rather irksome tc
him, especially as the examinations
were repeated at rather close inter.
walls.
Jed, feeling he wasn't being treated
exactly right, and having a longing
to get back to his home and friends
in Crisfield, decided to do something
about the matter.
Knowing that a relative by mar
riage, John w. Hurley, was a member
of the Legislature, and having an
uncle, Fieldy Die, down there also,
and no doubt believing the Legisla-
ture to be powerful body, and any
body connected with it some pump
kins, Jed sent an appeal to his uncle
Fieldy telling him to get "big" John
Hurley and come to Baltimore and
rescue him.
When he didn't get immediate re-
suits from his appeal, he was by no
means daunted. Jed is a very good
friend of night officer Sidney o. Lam
don, of Crisfield, so he took the mat
ter up with officer Landon, by postal
card, requesting him to get Chief of
Police Willard Laird and night officer
Charles Pike and with himself, have
the officers swoop down on Johns Hop
kins and release him from a situation
that was becoming more uncomfort-
able each hour.
Now that the Legislature has failed
him, and the Crisfield police force
has shown its inability to be of as
sistance in the matter, about the last
resource Jed has is to appeal to his
Congressman or directly to the Pres
ident.
Reports are that Jed will not have
to be operated on, so possibly the
staff of the Johns Hopkins Hospital
will have mercy on him, and let him
come home shortly. His mother has
been staying at the hospital with him
while Jed, is in his own mind, being
incarcerated there.

FIRE DESTROYS HOME
IN ACCOMACK COUNTY

Fire, of unknown origin, burned the
home on the Greenbush road in Acco-
mac, owned by Miss Lottie Ailworth,
of Accomac and Baltimore, Wednes-
day morning, January Is. The fire
was discovered by Mrs. Almer Fox,
who lives in the dwelling adjoining
the Ailworth home on the north. She
was awakened by the reflection of the
fire in her window. Her husband
Almer Fox, was soon dressed and Civ
ing the people of the community warn
ing of the fire.
The alarm was sent in and in a
short time four fire companies were
at the scene of. the blaze: Tasley,
Onancock, Parksley and Exmore.
When Parksley, Tasley and Onancock
engines reached Accomac, the build
ing was beyond control. so the fire
men devoted their attention to saw
ing the home of Mr.. Archie Kelley on
the south of the Ailworth house and
the home Of Mr.. Amer Fox. Had the

BREAKWATER PROTECTS
WACHAPREAGUE'S SHORE

Wachapreague's long dream of a
breakwater to protect it from the fury
of the waves in time of storms like
the one in August 1888, is is about
to come true. Work on the project
started Monday of last week, when
10 men were put to work. Last April
the Board of Supervisors donated
$3.50 to the project. On Wednesday
they donated $500 additional, which
is to be used with funds furnished
by the town and w. p. A. to construct
big dyke across the marsh on the
waterfront.
The breakwater will be built from
just above Phillips Greek on the south
Of the town to the home of the late
Capt. John w. Richardson, distance
of 1000 yards. It will be from go
to Is feet distance from the channel
and will follow the curve of the creek.
The breakwater will have a base of
30 feet wide. At the present time two
sidewalks #. thick are being thrown
up. When these have had a chance to
settle, a mud machine will fill in the
space between them. The plans call
for the breakwater to be 8 feet high
above the marsh. When the work is
completed it is planned to plant salt
water bushes and cedars on the break
water to help hold it. The work is un
der the supervision of j. Elliott Will
lis, Mayor of the town of Wachaprea-
que and Davis Copes is foreman of the
project.

ELKTON BOWLER ROLLS
PERFECT GAME-3OO

William Marques, of Elkton, Md,
bowling with the Singerly Fire Com

achieved the dream of every pinspin-
ner when he scored. 800 for a perfect
game.
It was the first time since the local
alleys opened a year and half ago,
that this has been accomplished.
81 was so nervous I couldn't see
the head pin at all, when I went in to
roll that last box" Marques said.
On his fourteenth straight strike-the
last in the game-he had a thin hit
on the head pin and left the eighth
pin standing in wicked wobble. But

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
CAPE CHARLES ROTARIANS
HONOR RETIRING MEMBER

The Cape Charles Rotary Club held
an interesting dinner meeting recently
when the program was devoted to
honoring DR.. w. D. Williams, a for
mer member of the club, who recently
completed fifty years of practice OF
dentistry in Cape Charles and retired
from active business life.
Several former members of the Club
were guests for the occasion and fol-
lowing their presentation to the club
Rotarian Jack Moore delivered COM
ELEMENTARY talk on the honor guest
and presented CDR. Bill". DR.. Williams
responded graciously and spoke brief
" on his pleasant associations with
the club and its members.
The speaker of the occasion was
Hon. Frank LEM, of NEWPORT News,
former District Governor of Rotary
and the man who was responsible for
the organization Of the Cape Charles
Club, the first Rotary Club on the
Eastern Shore of Virginia. Mr.. LEM
spoke on Rotary's program looking
toward international peace through
good will and interspersed his more
serious thoughts with anecdotes of
an illustrative nature. He compli-
mented the local Club on its splen-
did organization and its constructive
programs carried out throughout the
fifteen years of existence.
At his conclusion President Emory
Warner thanked him for his most in
teresting and entertaining address and
expressed the hope that he would be
able to be present in April when the
club will holds its fifteenth anniver-
sary celebration.

SALISBURY SEEKING TO
LEGALIZE SUNDAY BALI

Two bills to iberalize the Sabbath
Day in Wicomico County-one legaliz-
ing the playing of baseball on Sun
day and the other making it lawful
for moving picture theatres to operate
were tossed into the legislative hop
pers at Annapolis Tuesday night of
last week.
Sponsors of the measures are the
Wicomico delegation in the House
of Delegates-P. Elliott Burroughs,
]. Howard Johnson, S. Denmead Kolb
and Noah T. Rayne.
The Sunday Baseball provides for
the playing, whether for recreation
or where admission is charged, of
not only that sport but golf, tennis,
croquet, basketball, soccer lacrosse
and hockey.
It carries an emergency clause and
if passed by both houses of the Cen
eral Assembly it would become effec-
tive Immediately upon being signed
by the Governor. Such passage would
enable the Salisbury Eastern Shore
League team, to play Sunday contests
at Gordy Park throughout it's ap-
preaching spring and summer sched-
ule, solons pointed out.
The other measure, which would
permit the exhibiting of moving pic
lures would also legalize the operation
of bowling alleys on Sunday but would
RESTRICT operation of both from 2 to
6 P. M. and after P. M. It would
become effective June 1, 1889.
While other Maryland clubs in the
Eastern Shore League have played
Sunday baseball during both the seas
ons of 1887 and 1888, owner Joseph
C. Cambria, Baltimore, of the Sails
bury club, after staging a game there
on May 80, 1887 which drew around
1000 persons, announced that Sunday
contests at Gordy Park would be elimi

comply with existing laws.
MD. BAY COMPANY
is DENIED A FRANCHISE

The Maryland Bay Company lost it's
apparent chance of forcing the Public
Service Commission to give them a
hearing toward a franchise for estab-
fishing a fast ferry across Chesapeake
Bay from Stevensville to Sandy Point
when the Court of Appeals upheld the
action of the Public Service body in re
fusing permission to install a ferry.
The action by Maryland's highest
court reserved the action of the Cir
cult Court of Anne Arundel county
which held that recent legislation
had removed the prohibition of inaug-
urating any new ferry within twenty
miles of the Bay Bridge proposed at
Miller's Island. The Court of Ap-
peals in an opinion by Judge F. Neale
Parker, held that the prohibition is
still in force and that the Public Ser
vice Commission consequently could
not consider a ferry at Sandy Point.
The Maryland Bay Company has
been striving to secure rights for a
ferry across Chesapeake Bay for a
bout three years.. The struggle has
hinged on Legislative action and thus
far the Claiborne-Annapolis ferry has
been able to swing sufficient political
pressure to block the Bay Company
in the General Assembly. It is pos
sible that the whole Bay Bridge propo
sition may come up again at the pres
ent session.
