FOX THEATRE"
WILL BE OPENED
THURSDAY 18th
Ideal Small Place For Cinema
Production And Seats
About $50

John Fox, the theatre man, throws
open his new theatre on Thursday 18th
and he has named the new picture par
lor, "Fox Theatre.
This house is an ideal small screen
show place, seating about $50 people,
and designed to produce real theatre
room.
The special picture for the opening
night will be Vicki Baum's dance
Girl Dance, and the public may ex-
pect very attractive line of films
to follow as the nights follow each
other.
This venture is a real asset to Po-
comoke. It adds pleasing front to
one of the business houses, lights up
the street, and contributes to the
amusement life of the city.
The marquise, which, at this writ
ing, is being put in place, is of thela-
test design, and will vie in beauty
with the larger "Mar-Va" across the
street. Local picture lovers are boun-
tifully supplied now with the Cinema
productions, and much credit is due
manager Fox for his enterprise.

LAW REQUIRES
MOTOR VEHICLES
MAKE FULL STOP
Driver On Highway Must Look
Carefully Before Passing
School Buses

The law states, "The driver of a
vehicle upon the highway upon meet
ing or overtaking any school bus which
has stopped on the highways for the
purpose of receiving or discharging
any school child or children, shall come
to a full stop at least 10 (ten) feet
from the school bus, either in front
or rear thereof, as the case may be,
and such vehicle shall remain standing
until the children are received or dis
charged and the school bus has again
started"
The students, themselves, also have
an important part to play in their
own safety if they are to receive the
maximum of protection. They must
not take foolish chances, but must
be obedient to the bus driver, in whose
care they are placed.
The drivers of School Buses, child

the Governors Safety Committee is
urging them to put into practice the
Traffic Safety measures tat they have
learned and thus insure their own pro
