DROWNING OF
TWO MEN NEAR
OCEAN RESORT
Boat Sings While Its Occupants
Are Searching For A Load
Of DriftWOOd

Two men are supposed to have
been drowned near Ocean City, on
Wednesday, in Isle Of Wight Bay,
and search is being made day and
night for the bodies.
Capt. Samuel CULLEN, commander
of the Coast Guard station, said it
was believed the men, Frank Lewis,
% and Edward Jackson, Fl, were
drowned when their. boat sank off
shore while they were gathering
driftwood.
When the pair failed to return
home last night, Mrs. Lewis notified
the Coast Guard. The boat was dis
covered anchored and filled with
water about one-half mile out in the
bay. CULLEN said it could not be de-
termined how the anchor was out un-
less the wave action tipped it from
the boat.
Ralph Richardson told Coast
Guardsmen he had seen the men wad-
ing in shallow water near shore and
CULLEN said it was believed they got
in a deep channel near shore and
were unable to swim because of their
heavy boots.

SEAL CAMPAIGN
IS SHORT OF
QUOTED SALES
$524.35 Has Been Realized So
Far. $475.65 Are Still
Needed For Sale
PEOPLE ARE URGED TO
COOPERATE AT ONCE

In a report submitted the early
part of the week the Worcester
County chairman of the tuberculosis
Seal Sale Campaign stated a total
of $524.35 had been realized from
the sale. This is $475.65 short Of
the quota for the county which is
placed at $1,000. Of this amount Po-
comoke is credited with $1O5.35 and
the balance to be raised is $144.65 as
the quota for Pocomoke is placed at
$3.50.
The Red Cross drive went over the
top and it is earnestly desired that
the county do it's part toward the
tuberculosis drive and help fight
this dread disease which takes such
"a heavy toll of life.
Mrs. James P. Blaine, Jr., POGO
moke chairman, expressed the belief
that Pocomoke and other county
towns would reach it's quota before
the sale closes but in order to do so
contributions must be forthcoming so
the public is asked to cooperate and
make their donations to Mrs. Blaine
or some member of the committee if
they have not already purchased
seals. The following are working
with Mrs. Blaine in an effort to
bring the total up to the required
amount: Mrs. Roger w. Landlord,
Mrs. James M. Crockett, Mrs. John
Clarke, Mrs. Harry Shaw, Mrs. Phil
Creath, Mrs. William Willard and
Mrs. w. Sidney Stevens.
Pocomoke has always done it's part
in any worthwhile project and the
seal sale is one of the most impor-
tant projects of it's kind to be brought
before the public. Purchase tuber-
culosis seals or if you wish to make
"a donation, no matter how small, turn
contribution in to some member of
the committee.
Individuals and organizations are
asked to cooperate promptly as the
headline is not far off.

BOY SCOUTS
Are RECEIVED
AS MEMBERS
Sonny Heilig, Allen Merrill,
Billy Solum And Harry
Walters, Pass Tests
COMMUNITY URGED TO
SUPPORT THE SCOUTS

Wednesday of last week was big
night for some young boys because
they were welcomed and distinguish
ed by becoming a member Of the
Boy Scouts of America.
Before one of these boys was al
lowed to become a member, he was
forced to go in front of Scoutmaster
Henderson, who gave him a test
dealing with all the Scout require
ments. The boys, having passed
these successfully, were brought up
in front of the whole troop and Ro-
tary Club. There they were asked
questions by the Scoutmaster. The
conversation between Scoutmaster
and Scouts was most interesting with
subjects running along mostly on
how good Scout would act.
After this brief conversation, the
Scout pins were pinned on the boys
by their parents. .--
Those boys who received pins
were: Sonny Heilig, Allen Merrill,
(who, by the way, was white as a
ghost during the conversation), Billy
Solum and Harry Walters. All these
boys are now a part of the Scouts
and have, so far, done wonderful
piece of work on their Second Glass
On asking the question, "What do
you think of the Boy Scouts, the
boys replied, "The requirements
didn't look any too easy, but after
we were started we found them quite
easy" This is the answer of these
boys and that will be the answer Of
your boy when you let him join the
Boy Scouts. The Scouts need you
and your son.
