ll5TH INFANTRY
OFFICERS ENJOY
CAMP DANCES
A Dance Orchestra, Chosen
From The Regimental Band
Provided The Music

Two hundred selected non-commis-
stoned officers of the 115th Infantry
af the 29th Division danced in their
recreation hall at Fort George G.
Meade, Md, Thursday night with 100
pretty Baltimore girls.
Two weeks ago the privates smiled
They had dance and the non-com-
missioned officers were not allowed
But the non-coms had the last laugh
They had the next dance and the pri-
Yates were on the outside looking in
The men chosen to attend the dance
were admitted by pass-no pass, no
dance. And none forgot their cards.
It's not often that 100 girls are seen
at one time and one place on this
military post.
A dance orchestra chosen from the
regimental band provided the music
good music too. Most of the per-
sonnet of the orchestra were former
professional dance band musicians
and they could swing on down with a
boogie beat or play it sweet or solid.
Thirst was quenched with light re-
freshments during a brief intermis-
sion and then the couples danced a.
gain over a smoothly waxed dance
floor until the girls departed whence
they came.

Was Held Last Friday Night In
Bethany Methodist Church,
In POcOmOke
AFTER-DINNER SPEAKER
WILLIAM J. FRENCH

The Spring Dinner Meeting of the
Worcester County Public Health As
ISOLATION held last Friday night prov
ed to be most interesting and en-
PERTAINING event. The meeting was
well attended and particularly note
worthy were the number of out-of-
town guests who came to Pocomoke
for the occasion. The dinner arrange
ments were handled by Mrs. John
Clarke, Pocomoke, and it can truly be
said that the dinner was one that
would help hold high the reputation
of the Bethany Methodist Church
in serving delicious meals.
The main after-dinner speaker, DR..
William J. French, proved to be most
interesting on subject rather diff
cult to handle before lay group,
that is, the subject of Sanitation"
1t is felt that every one present was
very fortunate to have had DR.. French
as his talk was not only instructive,
but interesting and entertaining. It
is hoped that at some future date he
may again have the opportunity to
address the Association as it is felt
the Association was very fortunate
in having man of such varied exper-
fences so close at hand.
The pre-dinner meeting was open
ed by DR.. Llewelyn, who spoke on
the Community Sanitation Project.
Mrs. Jean Maskrey, the Executive
Secretary of the Somerset County
Welfare Board spoke 81 SUBJECT
which has caused considerable specu-
lation here in this County, that is, the
"Needs for a Baby Nursery" It is
known that her subject will be looked
into fully as the need for a nursery
in this County is quite apparent when
it is considered the number of young
mothers who have to go out and
work and also the great number of
deaths amongst the young infants.
The subject of milk Pastueriza-

POCOMOKE RIVER
GIVES UP BODY
OF ]. PILCHARD
Stockton Man Found By David
Truitt In River Opposite
Methodist Cemetery

LATER-The body has been identi-
fled as that of John Pilchard, of
Stockton. Whether the wounds in the
head would indicate any tragedy
which resulted in the death of the
man, and afterwards, consign-
ment to the river, has not been, at
this writing, decided.
The body of an unidentified white
man was found floating in the POGO
moke river, early Thursday morning,
by David Truitt, a shad fisherman,
who notified the police, and the body
was brought to the undertaking es-
adjustment of Dennis and Watson
for preparation and burial.
The man appeared to be about 40
years of age, and had been in the
water, apparently for three days. It
was clothed in dark gray working
pants, blue striped shirt, and brown
Upper leather lumber jacket. It
was in very good state of preserva-
ton, and would be easily recognized.
A long cut was observed on the
head, which, it was decided, had been
caused by some instrument used be-
fore the body was in the water. This
was the only mark of violence found.
The shore back of the Methodist
Cemetery was the location of the find.
While the man has not been identi-
fled, States Attorney Kerbin, inves-
tigating the case, thinks it might be
a party by the name of Purcell, Of
Somerset. At this writing, the au-
thorities are awaiting the arrival of
Somerset officials, who may be able
to throw some light on the affair.

well, dressed well, and looked to me,
