D, s, Government
Seeks Experts In
Fish Marketing

Leon A. Andrus, President OF
American Water Foods Association,
Inc, has been asked by the United
States Civil Service Commission of
Washington, D. c., to assist the Com
mission in securing the services Of
Fishery Marketing Specialists. Such
specialists are badly needed in the
Fish and Wildlife Service of the De-
partment of the Interior.
The positions, to be filled through
u. S. Civil Service examinations, will
range in salaries from $4,000 to $4,-
600 year.
Andrus announced that applications
must be on file with the Commissions
Washington office not later than
June IL, 1871. Details concerning
the requirements and instructions for
obtaining and filing applications can
be secured by communicating direct
ly with Leon A. Andrus, President,
American Water Foods Association,
Inc, Queenstown, Maryland.
"This is most important service,
said Andrus in his announcement.
Fishery marketing specialists will
conduct investional and service work
relative to commercial fisheries OF
fishery commodities. They will work
on the various phases of production,
supply, demand, distribution and 9TH
err economic aspects of fisheries.
The Eastern Shore of Maryland
has always led this country in the
production of sea foods. It is hoped
that a number of Eastern Shore men
will avail themselves of this splendid
opportunity to fill these outstanding
well-paid positions and be of service
to the United States Government at
this time. Both Eastern Shore farm
and sea products will play an increas-
ingly important part in our economic
life during the next few years."
Mr.. Andrus stressed the impor-
lance of early filing of applications

Help Bolster
Food Defense
Programme

In a move to help bolster the fed
eral food Defense Program" for i'm
proving national diet and health
standards, the Great Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Company this week in
aupurated an intensive nine-week nat
ional campaign to stimulate consump-
ton of Mountaineering fruits and
vegetables.
Representing the first broad-scale
activity in line with the federal pro-
gram of government agencies the cam
paign will extend until July rs, ac-
cording to William F. Leach, Atlantic
Division president.
1--WE have double objective in this
undertaking. In addition to promot-
ing wider application of modern diet
rules during the present national
emergency, the campaign is planned
to help farm producers move their
crops rapidly into consumption dur
ing periods of peak production" ne
said.
1.-THE urgent need for promotions Of
this kind is shown by government
reports that about 45,000,OO0 Ameri-
cans today are getting diets below
the safety line for protection OF
health" Leach pointed out. He CT
ted u. s. Department of Agriculture
reports showing the need for a seven
ty per cent increase in consumption
of fruits and vegetables to meet mini
mum dietary requirements.
"As farm-aid project, we believe
the campaign will be particularly val
liable during the peak production per-
iod this year because according to
u. S. D. A. estimates-fruit and
vegetable output will be generally
heavier this season than in 1910. Fur
thermore, an entire continent of mar
kets for many of these products has
been lost through the conflict a
broad" Leach explained.
All A & p divisions will make wide
use of newspaper advertising to focus
attention of consumers on the power
of vitamins as morale builders" dur
ing the nine-week period, the ans
nouncement stated. Store posters
will carry information regarding the
vitamin content of various fruits and
vegetables.

almanac have been printed for use in
this territory, 1920 for Washington,
$500 for Maryland, $4,000 for Vir-
ginia and $4,000 for West Virginia.
Comprising thirty-two pages, the
book contains among other things

in the history of the United States
which serve to illustrate the import
ance of communications in shaping the
destiny of the nation and in bringing
its several commonwealth together
into a single, united national COM
munity.
A history of the telephone together
with various and sundry items relative
to the part the telephone has played in
bringing America into closer touch
with the other nations of the world
is also included.

Conscientious Motorist
Sends Family New Dog

This is story attested to by two
newspapers, as well as by reliable
correspondent, although no names
are supplied with it. It is interest
ing and unusual and it parallels the
governments famous Conscience
Fund"
A Philadelphia and his wife
missed their cherished young cocker
spaniel which had gone out on the
street for a walk. They found him
dead in the middle of the road, evil
IDENTIFY run over by a car. He had
been wearing a handsome collar
with a license tag on it. His collar
was gone, presumably stolen.
A week later, the couple received
word from the Railway Express
company that package" had ar
rived at the company's Office for
them. They drove there to pick it
up. It was a crate, containing live
cocker spaniel pup, as much as pos
sible like the cocker which had been
run over and killed.
The new puppy's throat was en-
circled by the dead dogs collar
license tag and all.
Evidently, someone had run over
the first cocker by accident and,
from the license tag, had gained a
clue to the name and address of
the owner, and then had bought a
valuable new cocker, put the collar
on him and shipped him by express.
