part or the earth as remote, in the
sense we used the term not long
ago. Aviation has compressed this
old globe into a pretty small ball of
dirt and water; undoubtedly it will
compress it still further.
This. means unlimited possible
ties for the future. 1t seems to in
dicate the day is in sight when we
shall be shutting about the world
all sorts of giant planes, filled with
the products of peace, when war
ends, and, in the meantime, with
the sinews of battle where they are
needed most
This is an extreme change in our
affairs; perhaps it would be better
to say an extreme expansion, for 1t
does not seem that the speed and
availability of airplanes will end
the need for ships and trains. They
will supplement one another. more
likely, and in the end work another
step in world progress and scien-
tific achievement. 1t is too bad
that it took a war such as this one
to make us aware of the possibili-
ties.-O. S. Journal.

The crowning diplomatic act of

Louisiana. Large as the republic
at that time, it cost &C per acre!
Think of buying Des Moines. St.
Louis or Kansas City at that rate
with all cornfields and prairies
thrown in! Congress not being
consulted, he feared he had strain
ed the Constitution. He never glor-
led in it. When we read the epi-

was writer of the Declaration, that
he secured religious freedom for
Virginia, that he founded the Uni-

A White Suggestion

Governor Bricker has been undecided as to Whether
or not call special elections in order to fill the short
term vacancies congressional districts in this
state one of which is this district This short term
would be for only about two months and part of that
time Congress would be dismissed for the holidays.
Now our suggestion Since many Republicans are
seemingly taking it very hard because Uncle George
White nominated for in this district,
so they could vote for him? and nasmuch Uncle
George voted the head of the Republican ticket two
years ago. and he knows from experience how to
find his way around the capitol without guide, why
both parties endorse him for the short term put
him the ballot by petition, to be voted for in the
regular way at the general election in November This
would away with the expensive routine of calling
special election, and the arrangement would, we be-
lieve meet with the approval of the Democrats, and
the Republicans be at all consistent after all the
things they have said about him. surely would
havetthe nerve to offer any opposition.

MOTOR CORPS FORMED
BY The R. c. CHAPTER

The newly formed Motor Corps,
under the Pocomoke Chapter of the
American Red Cross with Mrs. Will
liam E. Craigmile as Captain and Miss
Nettie E. Barnes as Adjutant, held
it's first class last Monday night. Due
to the shortage of first aid instruc-
tors, it was decided to have the Mo
tor Corps classes first, then to follow
up with the first aid work.
In this way, anyone wishing to join
the Motor Corps may begin now, and
will be able to take both Standard
and Advanced First Aid later, since
these courses will be given again as
soon as instructors are available.
Those who want to become mem
bers OF the Motor Corps must call
Mrs. Craigmile for information, and
be on hand this coming Monday
night at 7.30 for the second class.

LEGION AUXILIARY WORK
ING With The RED CROSS

The American Legion Auxiliary, in
cooperation with the Pocomoke Chap

soon canvass Pocomoke City for bed
ding to be used in the Emergency
Hospital for Civilian Defense. Old
holsters and feather beds to be made
into pillows, old or torn sheets, pill
low cases, blankets and towels are
needed. These articles will be stored
in the Red Cross room in the Munich
pal Building. Those having old
trunks in which such things can be
kept are asked to donate them.
IT must be brought to mind that
the Emergency Hospital must be well
equipped, for if there should be use
for it, the need will necessarily be ur-
gent and immediate.
