PUNCHBOARD SWINDLE
IN BALTIMORE COUNTY

Two Pittsburgh men were taken to
the Essex Police Citation on charges of
obtaining money from a storekeeper
by using fake punchboard tickets.
According to Mrs. Archer, who OPP
crates a store on the Philadelphia
road in Golden Ring, two men stopped
in her place and after taking several
punches on a board, produced tick
ct which was worth $500. They were
paid off but due to their rush to leave
the place, Mrs. Archer became sus-
picious and called the police. Officer
Adams was dispatched to the scene
and after he had been given descrip-
ton of the men he drove to the Davis
diner about a half mile from the
Archer place, to warn them to be on
the lookout for the visitors.
Two days later the officer received
call to come to the Davis diner and
upon his arrival there found two men
at work on the punch board. After
being questioned, they produced a
number worth $1,000 which, they said
would be presented to be cashed. They

GOV. O'CONOR
TO ACCELERATE
ROAD BUILDING
Will Assure For Maryland In A
Few Years The Most Up-To-
Date Kind OF Highways

More cheerful news for the motor
lists Of Maryland: The State Roads
Commission, charged last year by
Governor Herbert r. O'Conor with
the definite responsibility of speeding
up its planning so as to save some
announced successful completion of
the task allotted to it.
Furthermore, Governor O'Conor was
assured, not only is all Federal aid
money allocated to Maryland prior
to the fiscal year 1910 under pro-
ject agreement, but the great bulk
of similar allottments for 1910 is
either programmed or under project
agreement, and most of the Federal
aid money for the fiscal year 1941
has been allotted to specific projects.
In other words, instead of being a
year or more behind in it's work, the
Roads Commission now is right up
to date, having completed a good two
years. work in the past twelve months.
The vast expenditures now under
way on the State Roads, as result
of this catching up on Federal monies,
as well as the stoppage Of gasoline
tax diversions, will assure for Mary
land within the next several years
the most up-to-date system of road
ways in our history, even going back
as far as the earliest days of motor
ing.

also admitted giving Mrs. Archer a
fake ticket for the cash she paid

A search of their auto produced a
small printing set and bag which
contained many numbers. Their fake
tickets correspondent perfectly with the
ones on the board.
At hearing before Magistrate
Michael J. Birmingham in Essex, one
of the men, Bernie Baker, was dis
missed, but his companion, William
Gentry, was found guilty on dis
orderly conduct charge and had to pay
the court $26.45.

Unable COlOred Citizens

Word was received at this office
yesterday Thursday morning of the
death of Mary A. Webb, colored, who

The older residents of Pocomoke

ter of the late Bob and Lovey Henry,
who were among the most respectable
colored folk ever living in this COM
munity. Bob was waterman by
trade and by industry and economy
acquired considerable property here,
and was considered very honest and
competent business man.
A part of the estate left by this
colored citizen is an unimproved lot
facing Market street and lying be-
tween the building occupied by Messrs
Coffman and Fisher, and that by the
A. and P. Company. This lot runs
through to Willow street and thence
in a southerly direction to second
street constituting a very valuable
location in the business section.
Mary Webb was 83 years old, mar
ried to a preacher, and left fam
lily of five children. She is also sur
vived by three sisters and four grand
children. She was buried on Monday
last, October z, in Mt. Lawn Gem
etery, Philadelphia.

Miss Lombard
A Heroine in
New Form
Vigil in Night
Gives Her Serious
Role at Keith's

Her career as a hoydenish come
dienne makes Vigil in the Night" I"
DR.. A. J. Cronin's other best seller
about doctors and nurses. seem q
strange place to find Carole Lonn-
bard. Miss Lombard, however, Is
quite ut home In the beautiful nurse
heroine role in the Aim which now is
in its second week at Keith's. II her
old comedy following can make the
shift to somber drama as easily and
as does Miss Lombard, it
will find vigil in the Night" an
exciting way to spend q couple Of
hours.
1t is to R-K-O that DR.. Cronin is
indebted for this admirable tram
scription Of his popular novel about
q lovely nurse who deserved only
the best Of life but nearly always
got the worst. The story has been
handled with much the same spiri.
Of The CITADEL" indicating a high
regard on the part of film makers
for DR. Cronin as q literary prac-
titioner.
vigil in the Night" is dark and
serious tale, just as its title implies.
AS its heroine, a nurse Of high skill
and great devotion to duty, Miss
Lombard is called upon to face a sue
cession of ife's most grim facts.
Among them are that her younger
sister Is seemingly just giddy blond,
that one is blamed for deaths for
which one is not responsible, that
some presidents of hospital boards
are scoundrels, and that it is not
happy for lovely young nurses to get
50 immersed in their work as to have
no time for romance. . All this, Of
course, has been said before, but
Miss Lombard's participation in 1t
makes it worth listening to again.
1t would be easier. however, If some
one had thought up an occasionally
humorous interlude as contrast for
all the sad things that befall the
girl.
Next to Miss Lombard. the best
acting bit in Vigil in the Night" IS
that by young Anne Shirley, the kid
sister who triumphs over q giddy
nature to make finally the ultimate
sacrifice to the nursing profession
It is . nicely etched job that Miss
Shirley does. Other members of the
cast have been selected with skill,
especially Brian Aherne as the tall,
handsome doctor in love with Miss
Lombard. J.C.
