standing committees. An evening pro-

LOCAL COLORED
SCHOOLS WIN in
SPORTS RALLY
Carry Off Athletic HOnOrs BY
Winning Big Majority Of
Athletic Contests

The colored schools of Worcester
county met in Pocomoke this week
for their annual contests in athletic
events. These sports are no longer
under the auspices of the Playground
League, sponsored by the State De-
partment of Education; they are now
staged Independently by the schools,
and they seem to have the same spir-
it of rivalry as they did under the old
regime.
The results of this weeks program
seem to favor highly the Pocomoke
school. They won the meet by big
majority. They carried off the hon
ors in Dodge Ball, Soft Ball, 22O, 44O,
and $50 relays, for 95 pounds and lis
pounds, Dodge Ball throw, Speed Ball
for Boys, Volley Ball for Girls, Run
ming Broad Jump, 115 pounds, Target
Pitch, so yard Dash and 30 yard Dash.
Snow Hill came in with one or two
wins.
It is reported that there was fine
attendance, good order prevailed, and
everyone enjoyed the day.
A marked improvement has been
made in the shape of a wide concrete
walk at the front entrance to the
school building. This was laid thru
the efforts of the All Club under the
leadership of one Of the female teach
ers.

GONE With THE WIND"
HERE FOR FOUR DAYS

Be sure to see the brilliant filmiza-

18th. One show each night at 1880
and matinee every afternoon at 2
o'clock.
"Gone With The Wind" is picture
that will be remembered as long as
there is entertainment. Filmed in
technicolor it is a throbbing story Of
the old South in grandeur, pain and
death, and triumphant resurrection,
so gripping you'll forget the very un-
folding of time.
Clark Gable gives a marvellous per-
Torrance as Rhett Butler. Vivien
Leigh makes a perfect Scarlet, and

land triumph in their roles of Ash
ley Wilkes and Melanie Hamilton.

FIRE COMPANY.
MAKES A RECORD
NUMBER MEALS
Srved Approximately Six Hun
dred People In The Fire
House Recently

The Pocomoke Fire Company and
Auxiliary established a record or
March 2Sth when they served approx
mately 600 at their annual dinner In
the new Fire House.
This was one of the finest dinners
ever served by any organization and
is also, with one exception, the big
gest affair Of it's kind ever held here.
The exception is the first year when
the firemen and auxiliary were assist
ed by the various local churches and
at the same time had the patronage
of convention which met here on
that date.
The room in which the dinner was
served seats approximately 120 peo-
pie at one time and from o'clock
to $3.50 seemed to be filled to capacity.
A total of ninety-six dinners was
sent out to those who could not at
tend in person and the treasury was
increased by about SAILS.
This sum was made possible be-
cause of the very generous donations
which eliminated much of the expense
and the Ladies Auxiliary and firemen
are grateful to those who contributed
food, time and services, as well as to
those who patronized the dinner. Al
though quite an undertaking, both the
ladies and the firemen were equal to
the occasion and everything proceeded
with the regularity of clock-work.
Mrs. Fred U. Henderson, president
of the Auxiliary, and all those con-
nected with the Fire Department, ex-
pressed themselves as well pleased
with the results and are looking for
ward to their next annual dinner
which they promise will be equally
as we'll planned, prepared and enjoy
ed.

LAW NYAHDATED

A decision has just been handed

Judge Samuel K. Dennis, invalidating
