during a trip which he, with others,
took to Alaska, where he stayed Is
months. On his return he was given
the position he left on the steamer
McClain. His seamanship was al
ways of a high order, and he made
an efficient officer.
After retiring from sailing life,
he settled on a farm in Pitts Creek,
which he carried on until his health
compelled him to desist. He came to
town to live, and remained till his
death.
Besides his widow, who, before her
marriage was Miss Carrie Merrill
daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs
Alfred Merrill, the deceased is surviv-
ed by a sister, Mrs. A. A. Campbell,
of Hinton, w. Va. Funeral services
were held on Sunday last at the Pitts
Greek Baptist Church, conducted by
the pastor, Rev. w. Y. Estes, assisted
by the Rev. Arthur Birmingham, a
cousin, pastor of Greenbackville
Methodist Church; and by Rev. J. Y.
Fincher, pastor of Crisfield Baptist
Church. Interment was in the Bap-
tist cemetery on Halls hill. The bear
ers were: Messrs. Edgar Benson, Will
liam Howard, John Holland, John
Sturgis, Marion Merrill, and Marvin
Merrill.
Capt. Birmingham was one of the
substantial men of this section. He
was a man of more than average
mentality, and held strong and val
liable opinions on the affairs of the
day. He took an interest in politics
and was, at one time, candidate for
county commissioner. He was also a
lover of sports, specially of pugilism,
ard read and discussed this with evil
dent knowledge of the fine points of
the squared circle. Indeed, it was
said that, in his early youth, over
lures were made to him to enter ring
contests, but he steered clear of the
pastime. He was highly respected
and many regretted that he was call
ed to answer the inevitable summons.
In his last moments, he met his NOR
tai enemy and faced him with the
same fortitude as he did all the diff
ficulties that may have beset him
while on earth. He was as brave in
death as he was in life.

wish of his company to enter into the
civic life of the community in which
it operates to be regarded as part
of the community, just as is done with
local business interests.
Mr.. Gibson stated the company
does not wish to be considered just
as a New York corporation coming to
Pocomoke and buying a plant, but
as local concern with just the same
interest that any other local organi-
zation has in the community.
Mr.. Gibson stated that except
where absolutely necessary, all en-
ployees will be drawn from the local
territory in which it operates.
The Frosted Foods Sales Corpora
ton, as stated, subsidiary of the
General Foods Corporation, packs and
distributes throughout the United
States, Birds Eye quick frozen fruits
vegetables, poultry, meat and sea
foods.
The company eviscerates and quick
freezes poultry in Omaha, Nebraska,
Fort Wayne, Indiana, Hillsboro, Ore
gon, and Riverhead, Long Island.
Mr.. Gibson further stated, it is the
intention of his company eventually
to erect an addition to the Southern
Farms plant for the evisceration and
quick freezing of poultry at POGO
moke. This would necessitate the
construction of a low temperature
cold storage plant to take care of the
finished product. Because of the
War and the necessity of diverting
all essential material to the war eff
fort, the company will, of necessity,
be compelled to delay this additional
project until later date.
1t is also contemplated that as soon
as possible the company will avail
itself of some of the fruits and vege-
tables grown here for quick freezing.
Fortunately, there is ample room on
tn grounds of the Pocomoke plant
for such additional buildings as may
be necessary.
On Saturday afternoon last, Mr..
Gibson and his associates devoted a
part of the afternoon in visiting some
of the poultry growers and expressed
regret that time did not permit to
visit more of them. He was greatly
pleased with the growers he met, and
left Pocomoke feeling that his COM
pany had done the right thing in
coming to this section.
Expressions Of unqualified approx
al have been heard on every side by
both local business men and Local
poultry growers of the fact that the
Frosted Food Sales Corporation has
located here, and warm welcome a
waits them to this community.
