MRS. ERLAND ETCHESON
COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN

At meeting of the committee NAM
ed to serve on the Pocomoke Fresh

part.

appeal the tentative date set for the
arrival Of these children will be
August 18th to August 26. In the
event that anyone is interested in en-
pertaining one of these little young

WARFARE BEGUN
TO ERADICATE
JAPANESE BUG
Mr.. Rufus Vincent, University
Of Maryland, To Start Work
In Worcester County

County Agent r. T. Grant announc-
ed that Mr.. Rufus Vincent of the Uni
versity Of Maryland will be in Wor-
cester County to start the work of
disseminating the milky white disease
6f japanese beetle grubs. Present
plans call for the treatment of the
towns of Pocomoke, Berlin, Snow Hill
and other infested areas in the county
that have sufficient grubs to warrant
establishment. Three one-acre plots
will be treated in each square mile.
In discussing the disease Mr.. Grant
advised that immediate large scale
results, perhaps not even for three or
four years, should be expected, but he
did state that from past experience
and experimental data the work has
a promising future. Japanese beetle
grubs have been reduced from 80 to
80 per cent in fields thoroughly in
fected with the organism.
The organism is being cultured at

MOTORISTS REQUESTED
dim LIGHTS" ALWAYS

In preparation for the great in
crease of travel on the roads antici-
pated during vacation time, and in
view of the unfortunate sharp increase
in traffic deaths throughout the State
and Country in the past few months,
Governor Herbert r. O'Conor's Mary
land Traffic Safety Commission has
issued another appeal to the motorists
of the State to "dim lights" on ap-
preaching other cars at night.
A similar campaign on dimming
during the winter produced such ex-
cellent results that number of Coun-
ty Chairmen of the Committee sug-
gested that this phase of safety effort
be brought to the attention Of motor
lists again.
Governor O'Conor will meet with
the Executive Committee shortly to
outline definite and extensive safety
plans for summer, in an effort to
combat the increasing number Of fatal
accidents. Despite all the work that
has been done both locally and nation
ally, the first four months of the year
were the worst months in traffic his
tory, making it imperative that ex-
traordinary efforts be put forth now
to keep down the traffic deaths.

POCOMOKE HI
BALL CLUB IS
STILL WINNING
Wins On Monday Last From
Snow Hill, Is To 6; And On
Wed. From Berlin 7-3
HAS HIGH HOPES OF
COPING CHAMPIONSHIP

The Pocomoke City high school
base ball team has the championship
bee in it's bonnet, and it looks as if
the boys are nearing a point where
they might say: "It's all over but the
shouting. Up to date, all the other
teams in the county have fallen VIC
tins to the locals, and five straight
victories without defeat is the score
Of the leaders.
On Monday last, Snow Hill was TAX
en- into camp at Snow Hill by a score
of Is to 6; and on Wednesday Berlin
bowed to a count of z to 8. Joe Byrd
pitched for Pocomoke in the Snow
Hill game, holding the "county-seat-
ers" to hits, while the locals were
lambasting the Snow Hill hurlers
with II safeties. It is true the home
team showed up rather weak in the
field, making 10 errors; but this was
offset by some wildness on the part
of the Pocomoke hurler who issued
6 passes. Byrd struck out 8.
On Wednesday, on the Pocomoke
grounds, Berlin was defeated, as stat
ed above by z to 8. Vernon Taylor
was on the mound for the locals and
he, also, confined the Berliners to 5
bingles. He famed 6 batters and he
was backed up by very commendable
fielding.
The lineup for the home team was
the same in both games with the ex-
ception of the pitchers as follows:
Cornpropst, r. f.; Bacon, s. S.; De-
Mar, C. f.; Mariner, L, c.; Redden, ].
f.; Mariner, R, 2b; Hayman, 3d.; Tay-
lor h.; Byrd, p. In Wednesdays
game, Mister played the initial bag.
Others who got into the games were:
Darby, Aydelotte, Denston, Duncan,
Smullin and Darby.
The victory over Berlin put POGO
moke in the lead and the standing

ORGAN RECITAL
in lST BAPTIST
CHURCH, FRI.
Rare Chance TO Hear The Won
derful Tones Of An Electrical
Organ By Mr.. Elternann
TONE CABINET WILL PRO-
DUCE BELFRY CHIMES

According to advertisement on an
other page of today's issue Of the
Democrat, it will be seen that the
Baptist Church of Pocomoke City has
arranged an interesting recital on an
Electric Organ at eight-thirty, FRI
day evening, May 18th. The organist
on this occasion will be John H. Ell
termann, who for several years was
Dean of the Chesapeake Chapter Of
the American Guild Of Organists. He
is one Of the best known organists in
the East and has established himself
not only as an organist but is well
known throughout the country as a
Choral Conductor.
This Electric Organ has been the
musical sensation of the century. It
is the only one that can be termed
strictly electrical as it is the only
organ before the public which creates
tones without the aid Of reeds or
pipes, using neither air nor bellows,
relying solely on the electrical inn
pulse for it's tone.
It has the possibility Of generating
25S million different tones. There is
scarcely a field in musical endeavor
that has not accepted and endorsed
this organ. A complete permanent in
stallation has been made in Canter-
bury Cathedral, England, two have
been sold to the u. s. Naval Acad-
envy, at Annapolis.
There are a total of 5000 installed
in churches in less than five years
which represents more sold than all
reed and pipe organs combined in the
same period of time. Over 300 have
beer installed in Baptist Churches,
