DID AMERICAN
SPORT SUFFER
BY DEPRESSION

Did the depression of the Thirties
harm the American spirit? Did it
cause some to lose faith in what we
call the American dream? Did it
lessen self-reliance and stimulate
class hatreds? A lot of people have
feared that it did. Read, then, what
the American people think of them
selves today, as mirrored in a new
Fortune poll:
Eighty per cent of Americans, from
farm hands and factory workers to
prosperous executives, regard them
selves as members of the middle class.
Most MISUNDERSTANDING three
out of five married men with families
to support, and more than half of the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS rather have a
good job, with an even chance of get
ting promoted or fired, than secure
jobs at just enough wages to get by,
A majority think that they are bet
ter prepared to succeed than their
parents were, that their chances of
success are better, and that their
sons chances will be still better.
Seventy per cent feel that they
have an obligation to pass on to the
next generation: better living and
social conditions, a higher standard
of citizenship, more education, better
health. Only ten per cent feel that

SLAUGHTER BEACH is
THREATENED BY FLAMES

Famed by strong northeast
wind, marsh fire believed to have
been started by a motorist throw
ing lighted cigarette into some
debris along the roadside burned ov-
er hundreds of acres of marshland
and threatened Slaughter Beach with
destruction on Wednesday of last
week.
Assisted by volunteer fighters, the
Carlisle Fire Company of Milford
battled for hours starting countless
backfires, to keep the roaring flames
away from the homes at the bay re-
sort, and finally saw their efforts
succeed.
The fire was discovered by Charles
Barker of Milton after it had start
ed just south of Fort Salisbury, near
Cedar Beach. Noting the direction
of the wind and the closeness of the
cottages to the fire, Mr.. Barker sum-
moned the Milford firemen but by
the time the company arrived the
blaze had spread over square mile
and appeared beyond human control.
Attracted to the scene by the dense
columns of smoke, which were WIS.,
ible for 20 miles, the volunteers help
ed the firemen set the backfires and
fought the flames with every other
devise available.
After sweeping along the rear of
the cottages, the fire switched and
ran along the banks of the Slaugh-
ter Neck Creek, where the dense
masses of dried out "cat-tails" sent
the flames blasting so and so feet
into the air and showered the weary
fire fighters with sparks. At this
point the blaze circled around the
boat house of George H. Draper, Jr.,
Milford cannery operator, and vice.
president of the Milford Trust Com
pany and for a time threatened to
burn the long wooden structure in
which Mr.. Draper had housed for
the winter months his 45-foot cabin

NEGRO JAIL BREAKER
ONCE MORE IN LIMBO

Woodrow Wilson, 18, Of Crisfield,
has been returned to the county Jail
the same stone building from which
he escaped with two others Friday,
January 10, Sheriff I. Fred Phoebus
said last week. His pals, Charles
Woodrow Townsend, 10, and Harry
Gladstone Crockett, 10, also of Girls
field, were recently sentenced in Ac-
comac, Va, to serve six years in the
Richmond Pententiary for breaking
into" and "robbing."
The men used a red-hot steel file
to burn away portions of the window
frames in the local Jail. Then re-
moved large sections from the stone
wall at the right of the bars that
guarded the windows. They descend
ed to the ground with a rope made of
bed clothing tied together.
When arrested, in Virginia, Crock
EFT had been joined by his brother,
Willie, 26, who also was sentenced to
six years. Wilson at the time was
out riding with girl friend and was
taken into custody when he returned
to the house where the other three
were hiding.
Sheriff Phoebus said Wilson was
returned to Princess Anne, after the
Virginia Grand Jury failed to find
a true bill against him. He will be
tried in the April term of the Circuit
Court for a number of service station
and store robberies that terorized the
lower part of the Eastern Shore last
year which the gang" is alleged to
have committed. Wilson was a for
mer Reform School inmate who es-
capped Washington, D. c., Jail where
he was serving time for an auto
theft.
While locked up in Virginia, Will
son is said to have told local authori-
ties Townsend and Crockett were the
ones who burglarized Henry Morris
restaurant on two occasions last Fall.
Sheriff E. P. Parks, of Accomack
County, said the men broke into
Mear's Grocery STORYTELLING Station
at Nash Corner, Saturday, January
IL. They were also found guilty of
breaking and entering another groc-
cry store owned by Columbus Chase
of Hallwood, Va. Many cigarettes,
groceries and flash lights were in
their possession. The men were US
ing a car said by the Maryland State
Police to have been stolen from Fruit
land from Edna Disharoon.

INDUSTRY MUST
MAKE AMERICAN
DEMOCRACY SAFE

Look at American industry NOV
ing today to turn out defense equip
ment and to make itself, as the Presi-
dent has demanded, the worlds great
arsenal of democracy"
Daily increasing in momentum, it
is becoming like mighty river at
floodtide, offering a stirring exam
pie of what free men can do by
working together when they really
set themselves to the task. There are
still eddies and slow currents in the
river-sure-bu as time goes on,
they too will become part Of the
main stream.
Industry is picking up speed every
moment. In the last twelve months
it produced a total of nearly 5000
Army and Navy planes and sent at
least 400 heavy bombers alone to help
defend Great Britain. The biggest
number of these came in the past
three months, which means rate of
production that will produce many,
many more planes this year.
The same is true of all other types
of military materials. Lately there
have come reports that American
all-wheel drive motor trucks made in
Indianapolis were used in the success
full British campaign against Sid Bar
rani and Bardie and Tobruk in far
away Africa. Reports like these
will soon be commoplace; and all a.
round US, meanwhile, will be vastly
increased number of articles for
Americas own direct defense.
There is a lesson in this tremen-
dous and speedy achievement of in
dustry. 1t shows that when indus
try is given a reasonably free hand
and the governmental confidence to
answer problems-however complex
their nature-it can really do the
job superlatively well. This is a mo-
rale too lately, apparent to be applied
to the depression years which this
nation endured during the past de-
cade, of course. But government and
the other groups in our economy
would be wise and minded
if they continued to remember it
when the present emergency is ended.
