east direction instead of sou-sou-
west. 1t would be better to advise
two paths across the campus; to al
low advertising matter space on the
church service boards; and to announce
to the car owners they can skip across
the pavements into the front yards;
and, if the residenters should leave
their front doors open, the autos
could proceed into the hall and there
come to a peaceful stand-still.
Then, out of pure contrariness, the
opposites would be done, and the end
reached by walking backwards instead
of sideways, or straight ahead. All
you got to do sometimes is to say
a thing shall not be done, then it sud-
denly comes to pass. Therefore, say
a fence must not be put around the
campus, because of this and that
then the fence materializes. Say that
a car must rest at ease on the side
walk and not against the curb, and
soon it will say you're wrong. Say,
that placards can be plastered on your
front door, and you'll see 'em. blow
in around the treets. Such is human
nature, such is life.

MRS. ALICE Wesley
DIED SATURDAY LAST

After a weeks illness Mrs. Alice
Vessey died Saturday at her home
near Rehoboth at the age of " years.
Funeral services were held Monday
afternoon at 2:3O o'clock from her
late home, conducted by the Rev. Her
man Bischoff. The pallbearers were:
Messrs. Alfred Watkins, Thomas
Smith, Jake Lewis, Harold Massey,
Lloyd Mcdaniel and Harry Howard.
Mrs. Vessey had been i'll but short
time and her death came as a shock
to her family and to the community
in general.
She is survived by one daughter,
Mrs. Nellie Washer, and by two sons,
Guy and Harry Vessey, Of Rehoboth.
She is also survived by three brothers
and six grandchildren.
Interment was made in the Presby-
terrain cemetery at Rehoboth.

prohibiting such means of publicity,
then the Mayor and City Council
should get busy.
But, do you know what happened i?
The advertisements jumped from the
poles to the ornamental lamp posts,
and, thereby, made them more orna-
mental I reckon. Pm going to warn
some of you old dodgers who walk
down the street bareheaded, that,
first thing you know you'll feel a
paste brush smearing sticky stuff
on your bald spot, and Immediately a
label slapped thereon, advertising a
patent medicine, horse race, baby
show, prize fight, ball game or spec
ial sale of low priced goods marked
up to war time figures. It didn't
look as if the editors slant on the
advertising nuisance were in the right
direction.
Furthermore, he wrote about the
way some people took up one half
the sidewalk with their parked cars.
Again there was something wrong
with the slant. Now, the cars take
up the other half Of the pedestrians
right of way. And do they do as they
please? And how! Truck drivers
back up across pavements to unload,
and grin at you as you walk out in
the street. Somebody told me he saw
car hitched to a fire-plug, the 9th
er day, by chain borrowed from a
dredging machine. The owner said
the lock on his machine was out of
order. The result was he forgot to
unhitch when he was ready to leave
town, and carried the fire-plug with
him. This was what I was told;
don't vouch for the truth Of it. Some
thing wrong with this slant, isn't
there?
Seems to me the scribe for the

and view these cases from nor-nor-

HOMES WANTED
FOR THE FRESH
AIR CHILDREN
Brief Vacation For The Little
Folks, Away From The
City's Crowded Slums
DATE FOR ARRIVAL
is SET FOR AUGUST Is

Again the committee, appointed by
the Tribune Fresh Air Fund to pro-
cure homes for the little boys and
girls of New York's tenements, ap-
peals to the public to sponsor brief
vacation for these little folk whose
two weeks in the country, away from
the slums, is, a period of great happi-
ness to them.
It isn't asking much. Just to play
host for a brief period of two weeks
to some little unfortunate, to give
them a glimpse of sunlight, fresh air
and let them play and eat wholesome
food and forget for while the pris-
onlike streets and the privations of
an unwholesome dwelling.
The hospitality sought for the chill
dren is the only request made by the
Tribune Fund. The Fund itself pays
transportation charges and they pay,
also, for complete physical examina-
ton at the time the child is registered
as an APPLICANT and also final exami-
nation given within twenty-four hours
of the child's departure for the coun-
try. This examination is designed to
eliminate children with any disease
Of any kind. A residence check-up is
also made. The Fund also provides
escorts for the children on their trips
both to and from the country.
If sufficient homes can be obtained
in Pocomoke and vicinity the commit
tee will announce the date on which
the children will arrive.
Next week will be known as "solici-
tation week" which means that in the
event sufficient homes are not obtain
ed for these little children the COM
mittee will personally contact possible
hosts so that. Pocomoke City may con-
tinue on the Friendly Town list. The
names of the Committee are again
published so that prospective hosts
may know with whom to commune
cate.

narrowness Of poverty's streets
clamps about the ankles of the chill
dren who must live above, and below
those streets. A glimpse Of the coun-
try in summer may inspire in some

Every Lion and Rotarian will bring

SERVICE PLAN
REPRESENTATIVE
IS APPOINTED
III. Gayle Bourne Field Agent
For Hospital Service In
Three Counties
COSTS STATED FOR
MEMBERSHIP IN PLAN

The appointment Of II. Gayle
Bourne as Hospital Service Plan field
representative for Wicomico, Wor-
cester, and Somerset Counties was
announced this week by the Peninsula
General Hospital and members of the
Board of the Hospital and ]. D. Col
man, Director of the Associated Hos
pital Service. In announcing the ap-
pointment, w. S. Gordy, President of
the Board, said, "The Peninsula Cen
eral Hospital has assured Mr.. Bourne
the wholehearted cooperation of its
Board of Trustees and will welcome
the assistance of employers in max
ing the Hospital Service plan avail
able to the families of the Eastern
Shore.
Hospitals are primarily concerned
with restoring their patients to
health. It will be a definite assis-
lance to patients and to hospitals
when neither has to worry about the
costs of hospital care when these are
provided to subscribers Of the Hos
pital Service Plan. AS it's contribu-
ton to this community service for
Salisbury, the Peninsula General
Hospital is providing Mr.. Bourne
with office space and clerical assis-
lance at the hospital. Those inter-
ested in subscribing to the Plan may
reach Mr.. Bourne by calling the Pc
ninsula General Hospital"
During the past week, Mr.. Bourne
has been completing final arrange
ments with the Peninsula General
Hospital for the care of subscribers
to the Plan. Asked why the Hos
pital Service Plan was formed and
how it operates, Mr.. Bourne said,
"Most employed people are unprepar-
ed for the unpredictable costs of acute
illness. Taking a tip from big bust
ness, the Peninsula General Hospital
now offers this program whereby en-
ployed people through regular month
" payments can be assured of the
best in hospital care whenever they
need it,"
Single men and women pay Toe per
month; husband and wife, $3.50 per
month; and an entire family includ-
ing all children under nineteen only
$500 per month. The essence Of the
Plan is, of course, it's system of group
enrollments whereby the benefits are
made possible at these low costs thru
the enrlomment of true cross-section
of the community"
physicians have long recognized
that financial worry often retards
speedy recovery. That hazard is com
pletely removed from members of the
Plan. Each subscriber is furnished
"Blue Cross Card" to present,
should he need hospital care"
"In the hospital, where he may stay
three weeks, if necessary, he receives
a semi-private room and ali the other
facilities of the hospital"

Hospital Service Plan was organized
