COUNTY RURAL
ELECTRIFICATlON
MEETING, 10Th

A meeting of county rural electrifi-
cation committeeman with representa-
tives of the Choptank Cooperative
met at the Court House, Snow Hill,
Monday night with a good number
present. It was announced by r. T.
Grant, County Agent that over 200
farmers have now signed for electric
service in Worcester County.
1t was pointed out by Mr.. C. Sen
nett, project superintendent of the
Choptank Cooperative that farmers
who are interested in this rural cleo
trification project should sign up be-
fore the line is built, because if any
line is built later, known as "B Con-
struction", it is necessary to have
signers every 1000 feet, or over 5
signers per mile. This, in most cases
will be impossible to get.
In order to build 100 miles of line in
this county, or better, it will be neces-
sary to secure per mile or 300 sign
ers. The group of committeeman de-
cided to go back and recanvass their
territories, as we'll as try to fill in the
connecting links within the next two
weeks. It is hoped to reach the quota
of 300 signers by the middle of June,
os that survey may be made in order
to have the Worcester County project
approved shortly after July LIST.
All farmers who are interested in
this project should get in touch with
the County Agents office or commit
teemen who are signing members
through their section.

members set out to find Bridgewater
College. Following the evening meal,
they called to see friends who are 60
ing to Madison College. On arriving
they found it would be impossible to
see Emily Shockley, Madeline Godfrey
and Virginia Miles that night, but
Sunday morning they could. They
then returned to Bridgewater.
Sunday morning after seeing the
girls, the members of the Science
Club started out for Luray.
Here are few lines by Spindle
describing the Caverns:
Here Nature, with her magic wand,
DISPENSED her gifts with lavish hand.
Her largess filled the earth and air,
When further space could not be
found,
She carved these Caverns under
ground,
And started a World of grandeur
there.
The group will never forget the
magic beauty of these Caverns.
After leaving the Luray Caverns
they started off again their return
trip. Reaching Washington they rode
beside the Potomac River Some of
the members stopped in Washington
and took pictures
The group had supper in Annapolis
and then came across on the eight
o'clock ferry. No one can very well
forget this memorable trip.
