DRESS COMPANY
TO ESTABLISH
A PLANT HERE
Will Employ Forty To Fifty
People To Manufacture
Garments

According to the best information
obtainable, the second floor of the old
fire engine house, will be utilized in
the near future as a sewing room.
Mr.. M. Bogash, president and gen.
eral manager of the Princess Anne
Dress Company, will soon begin the
manufacture of garments at the above
location. The partition which cut off
the kitchen, in the times when it was
used as room for dinners, has been
removed, and work in installing the
machinery is expected to start on
Monday next.
This plant will employ from 40 to
80 people at the start, with prospects
for increase as the business gets 60
ing, All such enterprises should have
the encouragement and backing they
require from local influence to make
them successful. There is no reason
for doubling they will get it.

LOCAL ROTARY CLUB
Dimes in PICNIC STYLE

The local Rotary Club met in reg
ular picnic style on Monday evening,
feasting on crabs, pickles, crackers,
hot dogs, soft drinks and the rest.
The site was under the trees at
Winter Quarter, where is located the
attractive log cabin and the golf
course in the Municipal Park. There
was a good attendance and everybody
had a good time.
The riverside development is one
Pocomoke City should really be proud
of. The cabin is commodious and is
splendid specimen of the carpenters
handiwork. It's place on the river
shore, with trees in it's "front yard"
and all other yards, makes scene
hard to beat, and few towns have such
an opportunity to make for themsel-
yes such convenient and all-suffi-
cient community centre. The resi-
dents of this city should give it un-
stinted support.

LOCAL SCOUT
IS AWARDED
HIGHEST HONOR
Ames Byrd Corbin Receives
Honor Recognition At Fa-
nous Camp Rodney
FIRST RECIPIENT OF
HONOR IN TROOP HISTORY

For years, in fact ever since Camp
Rodney has been opened, the boys
from Pocomoke City have tried hard
to be nominated for the Honor Recog-
milton for General Camp Spirit, ALL
Rodney and have failed to secure the
honor"
This is not due to the Scouts, as
the Pocomoke troop has sent Eagles,
Lifes, Stars, First Class, Second Class
and Tenderfoot Scouts. Up to this
year, none of these scouts was ever
nominated.
This year, a young scout, only Sec
ond Class, made his way to camp. He
came home with the highest award
which can be given at any Boy Scout
Camp.
This boy was Ames Byrd Corbin.
The honor recognition that he was a.
warded is obtained without any course
to be followed, no cumulative amount
of work to be done. No boy can
know specifically how or just when
he might receive an honor, as the
camp staff itself cannot know except
thru active observation. Boys should
know that only through fine spirit
of participation, genuine desire for
improvement in craftsmanship and
increased initiative, can Honor Recog-
milton come his way.
Nominations for Honor Recogni-
tions are made only by Directors of
Activities and, in some cases, by the
Directors of the individual camp.
Besides the one recognition for
General Camp Spirit, many other hon
ors were given to the Pocomoke boys.
These awards are approved by the
camp staff and given to the boys for
their interest, improvement, spirit and
achievement in each of the more i'm
portant camp activities, some of which
are: Camp Cleanliness, Swimming,
Camp Improvement, Scouting, Boat
ing, and Camp Craft and Camping.
Appropriate certificates serving as
the symbols of the Honor Recognition
were presented to all the boys at
ceremonial campfire on the last night
of the period.

new BUSINESS VENTURE
FOR POCOMOKE CITY

Altho' no representative of the
Democrat" has been able to contact
those who may put across the new
business venture, still from very re-
liable sources it is learned that POGO
moke City is to have a new packing
house.
1t is rather we'll established that
Mr.. j. H. Dulany, of Florida, and
Delaware, has purchased of Mr.. Ed
ward Landing a plot of ground, con-
sisting of 10 to IL acres, located near
the old Fair grounds. On this he will
erect large two-story building about
800 feet long and 100 feet wide.
The intention is to do all-around
fruit and vegetable packing work and,
it is said, from $50 to 200 people will
find employment. This is welcome
news to this community, and there is
oceans of room for any industry that
might come into this territory. It is

FIRE DESTROYS
HOME NEAR TOWN
TUESDAY NIGHT
Occupants Away From Home
Only A Short Time Lose
Clothing And Furniture

A large tenant house, owned by
Miss Calvine Howerton and a part of
Cellar House Farm, was completely
destroyed by fire Tuesday night about
8 o'clock. The, blaze was first dis
covered by the occupants of Cellar
House who Immediately investigated
and sent in the alarm.
The Pocomoke' Fire Company re-
sponded promptly but the flames had
gained too much Roadway to save the
building and this, together with the
contents, was completely destroyed.
They, however, succeeded in saving
all the outbuildings and stock. The
household furniture and clothing were
complete loss.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ohio Sturgis and fam
lily, who occupied the house, were a
way from home when the fire origina-
ted, two of the occupants having left
onlyy about half an hour before the
fire was discovered. Had it. occur
red at later hour, after the. family
had retired, it might have resulted in
loss of life as the entire building was
in ruins in about half hour after
the alarm was sent in.
The building was partly covered by
insurance.
