Well, Sir, another monster of the
deep has visited the outskirts OF our
beloved city, and 1 want you people
to looksee just what has saved many
a life from the jaws of a ravenous
beast. You see that reptile in the
picture on this page? Then you see
the two brave boys, guns in hand,
who dared the dragon in his den, and
rid the land of it's poisonous breath.
That's what these boys told us.
But, between you and me and the
storm door, there are a few sore
heads, unbelievers, and wet-blanket
Individuals who are ready to deny the
allegation and to defy the alligators.
Still, the boys have keen imagination
and, when the first visit of Santa un-
closed rifle apiece, they had to go
out and shoot something and why not
an alligator, even tho it had been
dead for some days and thrown out
by it's owner as a Christmas gift to
the buzzards.
And, just to prove the heroism of

A DEMOLITION
BOMB EXPLODED
PURPOSELY
Found In Waters Near Cape
Charles And Carried Near
Crisfield For Destruction
NOT KNOWN WHERE
THE BOMB WAS MADE

A 100 pound demolition bomb
rocked lower Somerset county Mon
day morning, the vibration felt more
than 10 miles away.
Found by an oyster boat crew Sat-
urday near Cape Charles, it had been
brought to Crisfield where is was
deliberately discharged as a safety
measure by Capt. George w. Nc
Dowell, Langley Field Ordinance Of
ficer, who was brought to Crisfield
for that purpose.
Capt. Mcdowell said that members
of the boat crew had narrowly es-
capped death when they attempted to
open the bomb. They failed in their
effort, he said, and had they succeed
ed the bomb would probably have ex-
ploded.
The bomb was dragged from 20
feet of water near Cape Charles by
the dredge boat "Iva w." owned by
Capt. John Ward, Crisfield.
This Monday morning it was tax
en- to an isolated marsh, placed in
a trench and set off by a time fuse.
Shortly before eight o'clock coun-
tians nearly ten miles away were
alarmed by vibrations when Capt.
Mcdowell and Coast Guard Captain
Charles S. Syron set off the bomb.
Capt. Syron said the time fuse
was set for IL minutes but the bomb
shook the earth nine minutes after

TWO BUSINESS
PLACES ROBBED
THURSDAY. 18TH
SOmers' Sales And Service
Place; Pilchard Body Wks.
Lose Over $500 Worth

On Thursday night of last week,
the Pocomoke Body Works, owned
and operated by Clayton Pilchard,
and the Sales and Service establish
ment of Mr.. Renza Somers, were en-
tered by burglars and over $500
worth of various articles were TAX
en- from the latter place, while Mr..
.Pilchard estimates his loss at about
500.
Both buildings were entered from
the rear. A very small amount of
cash was taken from the Body Works,
along with clock, and a few tools.
Evidently, something happened to
brighten the nighthawks, as the a
mount of stuff left in such a way as
indicated intentional removal was
estimated to be around $3.50.
In Mr.. Somer's place, the work
shop was raided and very valuable
tools taken away. He also reports
heaters, tire fixtures, and various
articles, amounting to the sum named
$500.
The selection made by the thieves
might indicate some one was getting
ready to start up body work place,
or to restock one already owned. Mr..
Somers states they didn't seem to be
in any too great hurry as they
helped themselves to coca cola and
then smashed the bottles on the floor.
No clue to the robbers has been
obtained.

"Chirps'' ~
from the
Democrats Pen

Well, Sir, on Saturday OF laSC
week, I received my usual bunch OF
exchanges from my Steamed" con-
temporaries, and, I must say, was
somewhat intrigued by what I saw
emblazoned on the front pages of a
goodly number of them, and, indeed
parts of other pages were devoted to
what 1 should say an untimely fea-
ture.
What I refer to is, that some of the
Shore newspapers had a full-wide
strip spread across the sheet carry
ing the legend Merry Christmas"
Underneath this appeared life-sized
facial reproduction of Santa Claus
himself; and on inside pages were
letters from the little tots, begging
their holiday patron saint to bring
them this, that, and the other thing,
because they had been good children
all the year and intended to be moth
ing else for all time to come.
Well! I thought; what have gone
and done? Have taken time by the
forelock, and gotten out the POGO
moke Bladder a week ahead of the
correct date? I had a few very un-
comfortable moments for second
or two, if such thing can be pos
sible, until I found out that l was
holding my own-no more, no less
with the old man and his scythe, and
that the other fellows were on the
bum, using, maybe, last years cal
endar, and I don't know how many
"last years" at that.
Then, again, I thought perhaps the
ink singers of those publications had
been taking too much Christmas;
that they had fallen into sort of
Rip Van Wrinkle sleep; had been
aroused by some noise they mistook
for an air raid; had bounced, rub
berlike, on their feet, and yelled
merry Christmas!" not knowing
what time it was nor where they
were at.
Also, and some more, it occurred
to me that those editors who were
advertising the Christmas festival as
aforesaid, may have been let into
something concerning which we poor
devils in lower Eastern Shore knew
nothing. And that was the posi-
bility Franklin Delano had proclaim
ed two Christmases even as he had
done in connection with Thanksgiv-
ing Days. He had, maybe, kept such
enhancing news away from us who
were not included in the list of my
Friends!" and another delectablei
joyous, celebration was in the offing'
But it all petered out finally. This
old year could not prolong it's life.
1t is even now heard with the rale in
it's throat, and in a few short hours
it's sun will go down and tomorrow's
dawn will herald the birth of another
cycle of time. There was only one
Christmas, my fellow scribes, and
am wondering what you are going to
do about greeting the New Year.
just want to tell you Saturday will be
no second New Years day, and you'd
better clay low and say muffin
How-some-ever, 1 do think some
apology is due those little tots whose
letters revealed intense excitement
over another advent of Old Kris. Dc
you oppose they hung up another
stocking? What catastrophe II
they found it empty next morning
Look up these kids, you editors, and
spend some Of the cash I know you
didn't get, and ease the pain in the
childish heart, caused by the forlorn
hope of a double visitation from the
driver of reindeer sleigh filled to
overlooking with holiday cheer.
