NEGRO INFANT BURNED
IN MELBOURNE FIRE

The charred remains of Clifton
Manuel, Jr., 2O-months-old infant
were removed from the ruins of the
two-story frame tenant house at Wei
bourne, near here Wednesday morn
ing.
The child was burned to death
Tuesday, when fire, believed to have
originated from an overheated wood
stove, swept the home of Clifton
Manuel, negro tenant on the Goldey
Ward farm at Melbourne.
The victims 3-year-old sister and
five-year-old brother, trapped in g
first floor room, were saved when
David Hancock, Jr., of Stockton and
others, broke out a window and lift
ed both to safety.
The mother had left the three small
children alone in the house to visit
a neighbor half mile distant. The
infant was left asleep in bed in a
second story room.

SCHOOLS WERE
FORTUNATE ON
DECEMBER II
When Parent And Teachers Or.
ganizatiOn Was Visited By
State Nutrition Expert

The parents and teachers of the
Pocomoke schools were indeed fortu-
nate on Thursday, December II,
when their organization was visited
by Miss Shoenborn, Assistant Nutri-
zionist of the State Health Depart
ment. In her pleasing manner Miss
Schoenborn told her audience that
nutrition depends upon more than
just the proper diet, for proper rest,
exercise, and many other factors are
necessary. However, she conferred
her remarks around the subject of
diet for the growing child. By means
of colored charts which showed the
relative amounts of food values, she
showed us why milk is one of the
most important foods for any child,
why every child should eat one egg
a day, why citrus fruits help to pre-
vent colds, why whole-wheat bread
and corn bread are to be chosen in
stead of while bread, why peanut
butter is a valuable food, etc. Miss
Schoenborn insisted that every child
should consume from three to four
glasses of milk daily if he is to be
alert mentally and physically. His

CAR ACCIDENT
INJURIES FOUR
PERSONS, 18th
Two Of These Were Pulled
From A Burning Auto To
Escape Holocaust
ACCIDENT OCCURRED ON
SALISBURY BYPASS

Four persons, two of whom were
pulled from a burning automobile,
suffered variety of injuries Tues
day night in a head-on motor crash
on Salisbury bypass just south of
College Avenue.
Lee Allan Webster, of 400 Naylor
Street, one of the operators, suffer
ed a broken arm in the accident. His
five-year-old son, Robert Allan, re-
ceived severe decorations about the
face. Pearl Webster, %, his wife
and their 18-months old baby, Shir-
ley, and Margaret Niblett, Is, also
in his car, escaped injury.
Dallas Revell, 81, of Princess
Anne, suffered cuts and bruises and
a companion, Florence Powell, 81, of
Salisbury, sustained broken leg.
Revell, operator of the other car,
and his companion were pulled from
their overturned automobile by ].
w. Lowe, service station employee
who saw the lights go out on the
cars as he heard the impact.
He said he rushed to the scene and
helped the pair escape as the fore
part Of the car burst into flames.
Mrs. William Leonard, of Mt.
Vernon, aided in getting the two
children from the Webster car. She
hailed passing motorist, J. Asbury
Holloway, who took them to the hos
pital.
After the injured had been remov-
ed to the hospital, the Salisbury fire
department arrived to extinguish the
blazing automobile.

three daily meals, too, should be of
about the same size.
In addition to the address by Miss
Schoenborn, reports were given by
Mrs. Kitchens, who is in charge of the
elementary-school lunch room, and
Mrs. Marion Merrill, who supervises
the high-school safeteria. They read
typical menus so that the parents
might realize that the child does have
an opportunity to eat nourishing,
well-balanced meals in his school
lunch room at a nominal cost. Miss
Yingling of the County Health De-
partment discussed the nutrition sur
vey recently conducted through the
schools. At the end of the program,
too, Miss Yingling gave the parents
interesting bulletins pertaining to the
health of the growing child.
The meeting was well attended.

this pow-wow of "Chirps" hasn't had
a year of weekly complaints hurled
at it. Sometimes, some people are
good enough to say good things a.
bout it. Got letter not long ago
from man who told me how much
he enjoyed my outbursts and how
much he missed them whenever !
suffered from mental emptiness and
did not appear with the usual moth
ingness. And in the same letter
there were two tickets, for a big sup
per. No, I wasn't asked to pay for
them either. I went, and all he's got
to do is to send two more when the
proper time rolls around. I'll be
there with my very best appetite and
with my most gracious appreciation.
That's one kind of appreciation.
However, the world is not all peach
and honey, tarts and cream, nor
smiles and pats. Not so many months
ago, my telephone rang. When ]
answered, there was an ominous ring
in the voice which asked: "Who's
that?"
My first instinct was to use a lit
tie discretion, and I did. I answer
ed with another question:
"Who do you want?" Of course
I should have said whom" but ]
did not recognize a voice which
might acknowledge as it's owner one
who would be over careful about pre-
cision or perspicuity, clearness OF
concreteness, so permitted myself
to range far afield from my usual
grammatical accuracy-or was it a
usual performance?
The reply to my question indicated
that an immediate phone interview
was desired with the libelous writer
of "Chirps", if it were possible to
get anybody to "fess up" to the au-
thorship and ownership of that name
Well, the upshot was that Mr.
"Chirps" received regular dressing
down or tearing up, whichever way
you desire to look at it. I had said
something about that voices husband
which didn't serve as an aid to di-
gestion; it was not agreeable men.

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

Across the river from Argentina's s
capital city is the republic OF Uru-
quay. It is on the northern side
of the River Plate.
Uruguay is a little country, COM
pared to Argentina. You could put
1t in one corner of Argentina, and
hardly know it was there.
Lest that fact give the wrong idea
OF size, let's put the matter in an
other way. Uruguay is only one
fifteenth as large as Argentina, but
1t is larger than several countries
Of Europe. It contains over $4,000
square miles, which means it has a
bit more area than the State Of
Missouri.
The population Of Uruguay has
been growing fast and has passed
the 100000 mark. The country
has twice as many people today as
80 years ago.
Uruguay doesn't have mountains,
but there are high hills, some of
them rising to height of nearly
one third of mile. Only one i'm
portant river-the Negro-is inside
the country. Another river-the
Uruguay-is on the western border;
1t joins the Parana to form the
River Plate.
Palm trees are natives of Uruguay,
and the country also has a good
supply of poplar, willow, acacia and

Dummy won, then South trumped a
spade. A club was played to
dummy, then declarer trumped a
second spade. This process was re-
peated, with South trumping dunn
my's last spade with his ace. De-
clarer now held but two trumps.
whereas dummy's three were still
intact.
Now dummy was used to extract
the trumps, South discarding his
low heart on the third round. De-

One Extra Trump Trick

Today's hand illustrates one Of
our favorite plays. Playing a con-
tract of seven diamonds, it appears
at first glance that South would
have to take heart flnesse. How
ever, declarer remembered that West
had made a vulnerable overcall and
would therefore probably hold the
heart king. Taking further stock
of his resources, he observed that if
trumps were divided the finesse
would be unnecessary, as dummy
could be utilized as the trump ex-
tractor" Here is how it was done

Eyes On The Conventions

The bird-and-snake fascination with which the American people are keeping their eyes glued on the terrible drama now stalking across Europe Is causing dangerous neglect of our own affairs. Only about a week now remains before the Republican party meets in Philadel- phia to choose its candidate for the presi- dency. Three weeks after that the Demo- cratic party meets for the same pur- pose.
 At the moment it is of course true that the present and future relations of the United States to the rest of the world are the most important concern of the people. Yet the President chosen this fall will be at the head of the govern ment for four years. It is highly url- likely that the present war will continue that long, The incoming President will be faced with heavy responsibilities, not only to pilot the American ship through the present highly dangerous shoal wa ters of world at war, but to chart a course in the new and undiscovered seas which will open before us when the war is over. Of these we ki ow nothing and can guess little, except that whatever the results of the war, they will almost cer- tainly be different from anything we have known before.
 Therefore the election of the President ig not less important but more import ant than when only domestic issues are to the fore. There will be plenty Of domestic issues in the postwar period, and the fact that they are temporarily obscured by the war does not mean that tlaey will not come strongly to the fore by 1944. Nobody can be elected Presi- dent until he has first been nominated. So the current disregard of the nominat- ing conventions is unfortunate.
 Neither party can afford at this critical time to nominate any but the man 1t be- lieves best-fitted to pilot the nation through troubled waters Back-room compromises and strictly political jockey ing will find little sympathy All atten- ton of political leaders in both parties should be concentrated on choosing the leader of highest possible quality and ability. The conventions have become vitally important, because from one of the two meetings will emerge the man who is to lead a united America in the troubled days to come. This is democ- racy in action, and nothing will be more reassurring to the American people than a straightforward, serious, statesmanlike job at the two national conventions.

Great Nation Tn The Making

Canada, which took the first stages of the present war in rather easy-going stride, has been deeply stirred by the British disaster in Flanders. It is now buckling down to the stern reality of really vast military effort. This year Car- ada will spend billion dollars on the war; out of national income of only four and half billions. Comparable effort by the United States would mean spend- ing around fifteen and half billions in one year.
 Canada began by raising only two rifle divisions to go to Europe. Now third and fourth are under way which, with air force enlistments, will put 120, 1000 men under arms. But even so, Canada's most vital effort remains that of supply base, workshop, granary. and arsenal. Especially throughout lower Ontario, scarcely day passes without new factory beginning to rise. New steel works and shipyardS, new airplane factories and oil rehneries, new automobile, firebrick and electrical works, shell-forging plants and powder factories
 Many of these tie closely to the United States. In some cases, U. s. capital is providing the sinews, in others, plane and tank plants are geared to the use of U. s. motors and parts. This vast new industry arising to the north is closely linked to our own. This has significance for the future In one sense some com petition may arise for existing U. s. industries. But in a larger sense, they are adding to the defense facilities of North America, and developing, as 1t were under forced draft, the long-un- developed neighbor country.
 Whatever happens in Europe, the groundwork is being laid for Canada much better able to bear it's share in hemisphere defense. It is being no more pessinnistic than Churchill himself to point out that this "New Canada" will be increasingly vital to the British Elm pire if 1t does not in fact become it's very center. Because any serious dis agreement with Canada is unthinkable, the United States welcomes these de- gelopments, welcomes a Canada emerg- ne as state not independent politically ,nly, but in the actuality of it's emerg- lnR strength.
 fhs logle of events brings Canada and
