GREYHOUND BUS TURNS
OVER NEAR this CITY

A south bound Greyhound bus
turned over while rounding curve
near Greenhill, about two miles
south of Westover, this morning
causing injury to several occupants
but fortunately no fatalities.
While full particulars of the acct
dent could not be learned according
to report the Greyhound was one Of
three enroute to Pocomoke and due
possibly to fog and rough condition
of the road the driver could not
negotiate the dangerous curve. The
bus due here at 5 P. M, carried a
number of passengers, two of whom
were removed to the hohpital while a
number of others were brought to
Pocomoke and treated by local ply
sician.

OFFENDERS OF THE
SCHOOL BUS LAW
BEING TAGGED
Law Requires Motor Vehicles
To Come To Complete Stop
When Meeting Or Passing

A driver of one of the school buses
in this county brought to this office,
last week, a list of about rs license
tag numbers of motor vehicles, the
drivers of which have violated the
law governing autos which approach
school bus while it is loading or
discharging pupils.
These numbers have been sent in
to the Superintendent of the State
Roads Commission, by the pupils who
are furnished cards to post for this
purpose. The law requires vehicles
to come to a complete stop, whether
meeting or passing school buses,
while the pupils are entering or leav-
ing. A failure to do so, entails a
fine of $500 to $4,000, and high
school boy or girl is appointed to
take the number of any tag on a
car which disregards the law.
Whether any action will be taken
against the owners of the cars so
offending, the Democrat" is unable
to state. But it would be we'll for all
drivers to respect the law, not only
to save a possible fine, but to pre-
vent a possible fatality.

Proponents Of Two Projections

POCOMOKE ENDORSES
BUILDING ON ROUTE Ii

In an article dated from Snow Hill,
Md, and contributed to the Sails
bury Times, of date Monday, Deem
Der %, the following information is
vouchsafed concerning road building.
The writer refers to a resolution
passed by the Business Mems AS
ISOLATION, of Pocomoke City, at a
meeting held in the Hotel Pocomoke
on Thursday, November z.
There have been proponents of two
routes for highway through Wor-
cester County-one to connect with
the Dupont road at Selbyville, then
projected through Snow Hill, and
Berlin to the Virginia line, some
where. Pocomoke has been mention
ed as being hooked up with this sur
vey, but in the opinion of many, TIC
road would come no nearer to this
city than Stockton, and from this
place continue to the Virginia line.
Proponents of the other route
would have it start from Delmar. and
include Salisbury, Princess Anne, and
Pocomoke as it makes it's way to the
Virginia line. Both these routes have
been thoroughly discussed, publicized
and efforts made to survey the high
way according to arguments prefer
red by the two groups. !

After consideration at intervals for
the past twenty years, the Episcopal
Church has finally adopted an Off
cial Church flag, to be displayed in
chancels or used in professionals.
The flag adopted was designed by
William M. Baldwin,. of New York
City, who explains that the central
feature of the flag is red cross on
white field, the cross extending to
all four edges of the field. In the
upper left corner is blue field on
which nine white Jerusalem crosses
are arranged in the form of a St.
Andrews cross"

LOCAL TROOP
BOY SCOUTS ARE
MUCH HONORED
ScOutmaSter HI e n d er son Is
Awarded Statue In RecOg-
milton Of Advancement

On Wednesday of last week, a
large number of boys in the POGO
moke Scout Troop, went to Salisbury,
to receive their new awards. Alto
gether, Pocomoke had forty people
there and they were much pleased at
the awarding to this city of the high
est and most distinguished honors
that can be accorded a Boy Scout
Troop.
Scoutmaster Fred Henderson was
presented bronze statue, shaped like
a Scout of Troop LAB. But, he, alone,
is not responsible for winning this
prize. Credit must also be given to
the Woodworking Tenderfoot, who
has been doing nothing for the last
few months but passing tests under
the supervision of Scoutmaster Hen
derson. These are the boys who have
assisted in winning this statue and
have experienced a thrill in so doing
They are now on the Scouting trail
to make good and outstanding citi'
Zens of tomorrow.
They have won in competition with
all other troops on the Eastern Shore
The local troop was specially distin
guished in having the smallest mum
Der of "Tenderfoot" and showing the
greatest advancement in the last si1
months. t

Episcopal Denomination Adopts
An Official Church Flag

1.-THE red cross has symbolized the
Christian Church since the third CEN
tury," said Mr.. Baldwin, "and the
blue field represents the traditional
color of the Virgin Mary. The ar
rangement on the blue field refers
to the early beginnings of the Ameri-
can Church when Samuel Seabury Of
Connecticut was consecrated the first
bishop of the American Church by
three bishops of the Church of Scot
land. In honor of Scotland the small
Jerusalem crosses are arranged in the
form of a St. Andrews cross. The
Jerusalem crosses represent the nine
original American dioceses."

"Chirps'' ~
from the
Democrats Pen
from the

Well, Sir, human nature presents
some very interesting-and other
wise studies. There's absolutely no
accounting for some things that we
mortals are guilty of doing. 1 don't
mean awfully awful bad things; not
at all; but some of these little imps
of darkness in the way of failures in
the infinitely small matters of hui
man existence.
Now, for instance, take the mat
ter of shutting door when you go
out or in. Any you folks ever for
get Cd to do that? want to ex-
plain just why this little fable sug-
gested itself to me just at this time.
I've just had an outside door attach
ed to the front entrance of my print
shop. This completes a double-door
arrangement, and serves to reduce
drafts coming from northwest ex-
posture.
But, you know, I've made moose
to hang myself. I've pretty nearly
worn the soles off my shoes run
ming to shut that door, after people
have passed through-and on; their
minds on anything else but drafts
and "sich." You see, I have driven
a stake down along side the walk,
so as to catch that door should it
ever swing back, caught by a pass
ing breeze. Otherwise, it might
blow away. Somehow or other lots of
people think it looks better resting
snugly against that stake than it does
in it's proper station; so there's moth
ing to do but hike outside and shut
it, if I'm going to profit by its in
tended purpose.
Then there's similar inconven-
fence to people sitting near the en-
trance door to a church. Did you
ever go into your church and leave
the door open, so there could be some
blasts from without as well as with
in? I sit near the door in my church
yes, 1 go to church that's one
of my duties, get up and shut the
door after people who forget it.
Did you ever travel on a railway
car and feel whiff of refreshing
CD air strike your feet, because
somebody just didn't know a door
was made to shut. Did you ever sit
in a saloon of passenger boat,
while some of these fresh air fiends
walked out on deck, and decided you
needed a little ozone in your lungs?
So they failed to close the aperture
made for ingress and egress. Maybe
they were better judges of ventila-
ton than you.
Now, al this occurs in cold, windy
weather. When warm weather
comes, the mind of the in-goer and
out-goer shifts into reverse. Then
comes the day of door-shutting. You
say bad words sometimes when some
careful body shuts out the breeze
necessary for life, during the hot
SUMMER solstice. But such is the
perversity of human nature. And
what is written here is just black and
white, and the door-open and the
door-shut proposition will remain just
as it has always been. The only eff
feet will be feeling of relief on my
part that I've gotten it off my chest.
Well, just as I had finished that
last sentence, the fire alarm sounded,
and I went out to see if I could locate
any serious evidence in the way of
smoke. AS I passed out on the pave
ment the office boy yelled out: "Shut
that door, will you; what do you think
we are in here, polar bears?" Which
goes to prove that all men (and wo-
men) are human, and "It is human to
err"

Brick held her face very still, or
hoped she did, determined not to
let her thoughts go wild. Thousands
of people each year visited the
Grand Canyon. Why shouldn't Carl
and Molly be among them?
The next afternoon Brick was
the first one into the camp pre-
pared the day before by Steve
Bingo near spring at the base of
a cliff painted by the constantly
changing desert INSTRUMENTATION,
blue, gray, black. She found 1t
tedious to follow the pace set by
the main party, and because she
had to find outlet for her thoughts
in swift action she gave the impa-
tient Zebra Dun his head, and, as
Beulah later said, galloped of ahead
as If she were leading a Polish cav
airy charge.
In camp she turned over the pal
omino, his cream colored TANKS
dark with sweat and twitching with
excitement, to Steve, and went to
beg the cook for a job, and got it,
tossing the ingredients of a green
salad while he broiled steaks over
his bed of Goals and piled platers
high with crisp fried potatoes in an
ticipation of the hungry dudes who
would begin filtering in at any
minute. But even at that small task
she could still remember that Carl
had come up to the corrals that
morning to see them off while Mol
ly Winters back at the lodge in
structed the house boy about plac-
ing her numerous bags in the COM
partments of the foreign-made car
which she had allowed Bill to drive
around from the main garage.
Liz Appears Happy.
But Brick did not see Craig
again. She had no idea whether he
had changed his mind and left
Chuckomovi or whether he was
merely staying out of sight within
his cottage until she left. But Jim
was there, saddling Ranger for Liz
and Nell for Beulah, solicitous and
kindly, doing for Liz the little
things which Bricks father had al
ways done, and in the same gra-
cious maner. And one glimpse at
LIS flushed, happy face would
have told any one who cared to know
that Liz had given up fighting
against the thought of marrying
Jim Bradstreet.
Brick gave the ingredients of the
salad vicious toss and called to
the cook, Want onions in this?"
and didn't hear his reply. If Liz
married Jim all the rest of her life
