JUDGE JOHNSON
IMPOSES nine
YRS. SENTENCE
On Mrs. Rachel Wright Day,
Clerk To The .WicomicO Coun-
ty Commissioners, For Larceny
NEW COUNTY BOARD
APPOINTED BY GOVERNOR

Mrs. Rachel Wright Day, former
Wicomico County clerk whose specu.
lation of county funds is said to have
amounted to almost $4,000, was sen.
fenced to the Maryland Penitentiary
for nine years by Judge Benjamin S
Johnson today in the Circuit Court
Five former county commissioners
who resigned from office after their
conviction on charges of misfeasance
in office, were fined 500 and cost,
each. They appealed their cases and
Judge Johnson fixed bond at $3.50
each.
Mrs. Day, who had pleaded guilty
to 30 of an 85 count indictment, was
near collapse when Judge Johnson
pronounced the sentence.
"You have been living in the
Clouds" Judge Johnson declared, land
you have caused much grief to your
good parents"
Sentencing took place before a
crowded courtroom, mostly women.
With the five former commissioners
Judge Johnson dealt less severely.
"The Court has no desire to add to
the humiliation these gentlemen al
ready have suffered" Judge John
son said.
"But you have been convicted of
negligence. We are sure that this
sentence will not please the blood
thirsty"
The former commissioners are Geo.
Wright, Charles r. Parker, Ernest
F. Larmore, James A. Adkins, and H.
Lay Phillips. The state charged that
their negligence permitted Mrs. Day
to misappropriate the county funds.
Meanwhile the grand jury met to
make a further study of the defalca-
tions. States Attorney Rex A. Tay-
lor, it was understood, has additional
evidence to place before the jurors.
Gov. Herbert R. O'Conor in the
meantime has appointed successors
for the five resigned commissioners.
He urged the new board to accept
their appointments "as a matter of
public duty" The new board is COM
posed of three Democrats and two Re-
publicans, whereas the old board
members were all Democrats.
The new commissioners are:
William S. Gordy, Jr., state comp
troller for IL years unsuccessful Dem
ocratic primary candidate for Cover
nor against O'Conor, president of the
Salisbury National Bank and chair
man of the Peninsula General Hos
pital Board.
Henry S. Todd, Jr., president of
the Salisbury Chamber of Commerce
former Rotary Club president and
head of tobacco company.
w. Lee Allen, member of the Allen
nursery firm, prominent horticulture
list and treasurer of the Peninsula
Horticultural Association.
Elijah R. Ennis, Parsonsburg, Re-
publican leader on the east side of
the county and a successful merchant.
George P. Waller, Mardela Repub-
ican leader, president of the Farm
ers Bank of Mardela, prominent can
ner and lumberman.
Sitting with Judge johnson when
sentence was imposed were Associ-
ate Judges T. Sangston Insley and
James Crockett who with Judge john
son presided at the trial of the COM
missioners.
Meanwhile all employees of the
county are going payless and with
out county board the business of
the county is at a standstill.

Special Master 10 Take
Laundry Case Testimony

Attorney Charles F. Wilson to-
day prepared to hold an early hear
ing to take testimony on whether
the Arcade Sunshine Laundry Co.,
Inc, its officers and agents. have
violated a decree OF. the United
States Court of Appeals, relating
to labor conditions
Late yesterday the appellate court
named Mr.. Wilson as special
master to hear evidence and report
to the court. The National Labor
Relations Board charged the COM
pany, by indulging in unfair labor
practices and interfering with the
right of self-organization by en-
ployes, has violated a decree of the
appellate court rendered last De-
Cember.
The company contended 1t has
not violated the courts decree, but
has adhered to it, posting necessary
notices and complying with the law,
permitting the workers to act freely
The firm pointed out to the Court
Of Appeals that the workers have
not called for an election, as is
their right, to name bargaining
agent for them, nor has the board
itself ordered one.

/, WE THE WOMEN
Women Seem to Adjust to Age
Better Than Their Husbands

They like clothes and are just
as'good customers Of the beauty
shops az they ever were. Their
white hair Il waved snaartly,
their nails are lacquered q soft
pink, and their skin shows that
they still believe In face cream.
They like parties even bet
ter than -they-did In their
younger days, when entertain
ing was something Of chore
on top Of taking care Of q large
family. And they love to be
invited out because they have
lots of time in which to get
ready at q leisurely pace, and
they have time to wonder about
the party beforehand and think
about Il afterwards.
As for two of the average
woman's favorite forms Of
amusement, community gossip
and bridge, age doesn't dull her
interest In either. In fact, age
only heightens her interest In
the former, since she has more
time than ever to think about
the comings, goings, doings, and
carryings-on of other people.
So the woman who has
enough to live on and no press
ing fear Of future poverty US
ually enjoys her old age. II
you don't believe It, get &C.
quainted with q few and you'll
find out.
They enjoy their indepen-
dence, their leisure, and their
right to sit back and watch,
without envy, young people
struggling to rear their families.
But you can't say the same
thing for old men. For the
most part they are q rather for
iorn lot. They're too old for
the jobs that have taken up
most Of their time and interest
in life, too old for the sports
they once played at 20 hard,
and too old TO find some new
interest to take their place.
For all that women dread old
age, they usually make better
use Of It, 30 far a. their own
enjoyment is concerned, than
do men.
