Nothing has been overlooked
to make this affair memorable
enc - that is, nothing except
the City CouncImen. Those
poor, lost souls just don't rate,
il seems. Here it is. two days
before the band strikes up the
tune, "Somebody Done Me
Wrong, and the peoples repre-
sentatives are still walking
around in daze. If the traffic
is heavy on Sunday the boys
will certainly be in danger of

famous steam roller.

Several weeks ago suggested
that inasmuch as the CounciImen
had been ignored on the various
dedication program committees
that perhaps they could pinch
hit as flower girls. Nothing
has been said about the matter
since SO maybe it wasn't such
hot idea after ALL SO I'm COM
ing up with another Idea which
may click. Why not make pro-
gram hawkers out of 'em?
Somebody has gotta peddIe
those leaflets at ten cents
copy. Why, can visualize the
CounciImen now. with arms lad
en- with programs, squeezing
through that tremendous crowd.
trampling bunons and yelling:
"Programsl Programs! They're
going fast, folks step right
up and get 'em while they're
hot! Only dime-ten cents.
Just few more left. Ten cents!
Ten cents!"

NEWsPAPERAIAN
HOLDS CONFERENCE OVER THE
TELEPHONE

On the morning of February &C.
il became necessary for Willard G,
Rouse, Jr., district manager of the
Equitable Life Assurance Society, to
make quick connections with sixteen
of his agents on the Eastern Shore
to discuss plans for a meeting to be
held on Thursday evening, February
20. A call was made to the telephone
company to ascertain the quickest
way to complete the calls. Mr.. Rouse
was advised that the telephone COM
pany would at cnce set up con-
ference call. whereby all the agents
and himself could converse and lis
ten at the same time.
This set up consisted Of agents at
the following places on the Eastern
Shore: EastOn, fredericksburg, Ridge
ly, Cambridge, Salisbury, Snow Hill,
Georgetown, Lewes, Laurel, Smyrna,
Harrington, Milford, Denton, POGO
mOke and Berlin.
The call was most satisfactory and
the agents expressed their pleasure
on being in on such an interesting
experience. During the conversation
each agent was given few seconds
to reply and each one was able to
hear not only the voice Of Mr.. Rouse,
but the reply of each of the others.
1t is said that this is the largest
number of telephones to be con-
nected at one time on a toll confer
ence call on the Eastern Shore.
This type of telephone service is
becoming more popular each day
with business firms having occasion
10 communicate personally with rep |
resentatives or agents at scattered !

GOOD SERVICE PAYS

"The modern small town business
man has many problems, but If he
keeps his feet on the ground and
uses his head there is no reason why
he should not hold his own with any
and all competition" says the Chief
tain, of Enterprise. Oregon. HE has
the means at hand to give PERSONAL
ized service, sell good merchandise
at fair prices and above all be a
friend OF his customers"
The fact is that the small-tOwn
business man has demonstrated be-
yond argument his ability to do just
that. Gone is the day when the in
telligent independent merchant, for
instance, spent most of his time beat
ing his breast and demanding that
his chain store competitors be ham
strung with every device Of legisla-
tiOn and class taxation. The modern
independent goes to work in the face
of competition, exerts himself still
more to please his trade-and the
customers keep right on coming in.
The small merchant, no less than the
big one. has ideas and Vision-and
the small merchant has been Fespon-
sible for many innovations which
have helped build and hold business.
1t is to the credit Of the American
business man that he has always ad-
justed himself to the changing times.
But it is not surprising. The biggest
businesses this country knows, and
especially those in the food and mer-
chandising field. have grown from
little businesses. About the only
capital most Of their founders had
at the beginning was intelligence,
ideas and willingness to work. The
public pays well those who serve it
well.

$l58. .O95.35, was a decrease of $24,-
461.77 over the $1S3,557l2 paid in

Decrease in the Motor Fuel Oil
Department is accounted for by the
dropping of travel and the incle-
ment weather. The figures for both
