Pocomoke City, so named for Col.
VIM. Stevens (1630-1687) who estab-
lished the ferry in 1910. That ferry
was used until 1865, when it was re-
placed by new and substantial
wooden draw bridge. This latter
bridge was in constant use until the
year 1917, when it was replaced by
the present steel and concrete bas-
cule draw bridge constructed by the
Maryland State Roads Commission.
There has been a great revolution
in the method of travel and transpor-
tation during the past one hundred
years. Formerly oxen, horses and
mules were the beasts of burden, both
for traffic and work. 1t was demon
strated that oxen were better fitted
for the heavy work of hauling timber
especially timber that had to be OBJ
tanned from swamp land and oxen
were used in cultivation of cleared
wood land and land that was called
low ground. Strange to relate there
had been discovered under the surface
of swamps bordering the rivers of
the lower Eastern Shore large quantl-
ties of submerged merchantable TIM
Der being the trunk of giant cypress
trees that have lain there for ages,
the body as solid as that of trees
standing above the surface. At one
time there was a constant demand
and sale for submerged timber.
Much of the work on farms at this
late day is performed by motorized
machinery, such as tractors, fertilizer
spreaders, corn and potato planters
steam reapers, threshers and binders
and various other labor saving ma
chimes.
The results of mans ingenuity and
skill in ferreting out the secrets Of
inventive power have been a great
beneficial contribution to the making
life for every man, woman and child
more useful, more endurable and
more pleasurable.

"Marylanders are very fortunate
in the abundance of fruits and vege-

mention just few of them-are all
available now, and will be for several
weeks to come.

Cook in as little water as possible
and in the quickest time. If there
is any of the water left, use it in

BANKERS HOURS
Askov American:

Editor ASkov American:
/ have just read the ad published
in your paper under date of Novem-
Der 10. which takes crack at Pres
ident Roosevelt's statement with ref
erence to the 40-hour week, indi-
rectly advocating 66-hour week by
stating that Russia, working &C.
hour weeks, is outproducing any
country in the world" and find that
one of the business institutions spon-
soring this ad is bank.
All the banks l have an eXper-
fence with open at 10 a. m. and close
at 3 p. m, which sounds like five
hour day to me. l am wondering
why these folks don't practice what
they preach. Why not 66-hour
week for bankers?
And incidentally l have read a
number of times that Russia had a
seven-hour day, five-day week, at
least prior to their entry into the
war. Is it possible that we are mis-
quoting facts in this ad in addition
to failing to practice what we preach?
And then this same John L. Lewis,
whom this ad is trying to use to
smear the New Deal Administration
as recall it, supported the Repub-
lican candidate in the last presi-
dental election. Does that prove
that the Republicans are no good
either?
If so, l can agree. l am certain
more fundamental economic changes
than either of the two old line pre-
dominating parties in our nation adj
vocate will have to be brought about,
if exploitation and wealth concentra-
ton in the hands of the few is to be
abolished

try is really going full speed ahead

We note that there is little activ-
ity in the government to get at the
problem of saving small business.
This has been long overlooked and
the difficulties have been multiplied
by the delay and by the failure to
focus any attention here.
It is hoped that soon the govern
ment will pitch in at full speed to
consider the matter of preserving
small business. Some have said that
unless something is done, 100000
small businesses will 60 out of bust
ness this year.
If this figure is at all correct, we
are well on the way to the ruination
of our own country. The real core
of our whole system of life is the
small businessman. If he's put out
of business We'll be America in name
only.
We must win this war and we're
going to win it, but while we're doing
it we should give as much attention
as can be spared to preserve the
things we're fighting for. If Mr..
Small Businessman is a total cas-
ualty, then victory will be quite hol-
low.

Continue Scrap Drive

In a telegram to this paper yester-
day, Donald M. Nelson, War Produc-
ton board chief, asked that all local
scrap drives be continued and in
tensified. "The government" he said,
3'is asking the American farmers to
dedicate the remaining weeks of 1912
to an intensified scrap hunt. Steel
mills need more heavy scrap and the
farms are one of the best sources of
this type of material"
Nelson said that further help in this
farm drive is needed and that he was
advising all salvage committees to
continue their efforts. The COM
mittees are also being instructed to
continue to make available all their
transportation facilities and man
power and cooperate with farmers
in every possible way. He concluded
by stating that the nation is look
ing to the American farmer and that
he was sure with the help of the
salvage workers the nation would
come through.
During the recent fall scrap drive
Minnesota turned in over 10000, 900
pounds of metals for an average of 1O8
pounds per capita, fine record and
one of the best in the nation, but
the demand is for more and more
scrap.
War Production Board officials
emphasize the need for undiminished
efforts in the rural sections by stress
ing the fact that agricultural areas
are second only to industrial plants
as sources of iron and steel scrap.

diseases and if necessary the system
can be operated night and day similar
to that of industry.
Practically it is the only way that
will lift the poor farmer out of mis-
cry and give him a decent line of
work in that occupation.
All in all, the overhead of expenses
are cut by the continuous use of ma
chinery; implements never become
obsolete; they don't last that long.
This system is not only used in
farming, but is also applied in shop
and factory. There is little left of
the Kulack (private business) as the
government can operate at the cost
of production whereas any private
business needs that, plus little pro-
fit. That might be the reason why
the Russians fight SO fanatically to
keep this system instead of Hitlerism.
Compare that with that of England
and what we have here. Observe one
of your own towns-l3 oil stations,
six grocery stores, several feed stores,
auto and implement dealers. Plenty
of idle time in all their places, every
one looking for more business or
bigger profits. We are lucky that
the government does not follow that
sample of capitalistic chaos.
The above is good sample of all
businessmen in a small town. Most
of that business could be run by
women instead of men. These men
could be used in the army, field or
work shop to produce more or make
the work for others little easier
No overtime work or 18-year old boys
being sent into the army. There
would be plenty of manpower if
women can be put to work in mod
ern systems, working with modern
equipment
Maybe that was the puzzle the
First Lady wanted to solve. Good
luck to her.

NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page u
Russian Front

The situation still in the process of
no change favorable to the axis, for
here Hitler's troops either retreat or
make no advance of any kind; this is,
especially, true in the region around
Stalingrad and in the provinces ad-
joining the Grozny oil fields in the
Caucasus.
Naturally, Hitler's Russian front
has not been strengthened by his
withdrawal of many divisions sent
to southern Europe to bolster up his
defenses against what he now defin-
itely believes is to be general often
sive against him. He may, in des-
perate effort to reinforce his positions,
force Spain to take part in the war
on his side, either by persuasion or
by occupation, but even if so, it won't
help him much, for the Spaniards
are still moaning under the burdens
of their recent civil war which has
made their country just about the
most impoverished in all Europe
Like Spain, Turkey also remains
neutral, and the chances are now
more so than ever-that if she enters
the war, it will not be as an ally of
Hitler
So, taken all in all, it looks gloomy
for the entire axis group.
French Manoeuvers.
1t is possible that Hitler hopes for
great help from France which he
now rules completely since he a
couple of weeks ago invaded that un-
occupied part of the country which
he had pledged not to touch.
But there is new difficulty
here, for Hitler's second-best man
in France, Admiral Darlan, has
Joined the Americans in Africa
and has fatty refused to sur
render the French navy to Ger
many.
Ancient Marshal Petain has been
relegated to the background of polit-
ical obscurity, and Pierre Laval now
is the actual dictator of France
that is, within the limitations pre-
scribed by the super-dictator himself,
Hitler. Laval, being hated by his
own fellow-countrymen as flamingly
as Quisling in Norway is being hated
by his, wants France to go to war
against the United Nations. 1t is
very doubtful that he will succeed
in this design.

A PUZZLE
Editor Askoy American:

Lord Halifax, England's ambassa-
dor for this country in commenting
recently on the fierce fight Soviet
Russia has put up against Hitlerism,
said: There must be something in
that people that we do not know, to
understand that fight"
Yes, he and l and many more are
puzzled about that drama; five mil
lion men already sacrificed and many
more to follow. Often 1 ask myself,
what have all these poor sheep
misdone?~ That they so willingly to
the butcher gone"
Maybe that might be the reason
that Americas First Lady went to
England to find out what can be done
to bring this drama to a successful
end.
think she should have spent an
other pair of halfsoles to look up
the situation in Russia.
read an editorial in "The Farmer"
that restrictions of farming in Eng
land are very severe. If farmer
is inefficient, according to the gov
ernments plan of farming, the gov
eminent puts another man on his
place. After the war is over the
original owner might get his property
back. In Russia they manage that
problem little different. Collec-
tive farming is operated on the pat
tern of government planning.
Collective farming is done in a
modern way, with modern machin-
cry. There is no lack of facilities
for storing crops or caring for live
stock and human beings, wages,
hours, control of animal and plant

DEPENDS ON COMMON MAN

Editor Askov American:
Nazism and its partner, Facism,
are now on the decline-and within
a comparative short time will be
liquidated. Bad as things have been,
Hitler and Mussolini were not the
answer. While there always must be
change, the change should not aim
backwards to the ancient past-to
the mythology of Rome and the Teu-
tons.
The liberal element in this state
and most states where there has been
liberal movement, always recog-
nized that Fascism and war charac-
terized the movement in Italy and
Germany. While few agreed with
everything taking place in Russia, yet
most liberals recognized that there
was something to the movement there
which would bear some fruits towards
the good of the people. The past
l8 months has justified this. Russia
dealt Germany its death blow. The
losses sustained in Russia can never
be replaced. OF course Russia is a
large nation, but it had to bear the
full might of Germany, Rumania,
Finland, Hungary as we'll as some
of the might of other nations such
as Italy, Spain and France and all
this time it was threatened in the
far east by Japan. 1t takes real raw
courage to resist such an array.
Great generals, statesmen, coloniz-
ers and industrial builders have al
ways relied on the intangibles in
men, the raw courage and initiative
of the common man. They know
that the good in men far exceeds the
evil, if it is given chance. They
have faith in the people and do not
give too much to the experts and
best minds" The liberal movement
in Russia and elsewhere were move
ments which had their roots in the
people. These movements, when they
succeeded, hewed close to the ground
and never wandered off to dream
land. The future depends on them.

The Pilgrims Gave Thanks
And Meant 1t

Thanksgiving, one of Americas
own and greatest holidays, was
not inaugurated with pomp and
splendor, but in time of hard
ships and discouragementS, by
small band of hardy pioneers on
a lonely shore, far from their
native land
Only the spirit of supreme
faith which had helped the Pill
grimS maintain a precariouS foot
hold in the stern, new world
could have moved them to set
aside day for thanks and praise
for the blessings they had en-
joyed, forgetting the trials and
privations of the past year
The sincerity of that first
Thanksgiving day, as compared
to present day observances, is
we'll brought out in the follow
ing editorial from the Brainerd
Journal Press:
1t is a significant fact the Amer
lean Thanksgiving tradition was in
augurated at a time when those who
sponsored it could have, with per-
feet justice, turned the occasion to
one calling for Gods mercy.
Certainly a people less firm in self
reliant faith than that little band of
Pilgrims, instead of praising the Lord
for His bounty, would be noting the
approach of another rigorous New
England winter and be moved to ask:
I'm Gods name, what will become
of us?"
The Pilgrims had good cause for
dread. Their experience in the new
land had been discouraging, to say
the least. Disease and privation had
taken more than half their number in
less than year. The coming winter
could easily mean a repetition of the
previous one. Life in the dreary
little settlements must have, at times
tried their very souls. Homesickness
must have smitten them. The un-
certainty of their day to day exist
ence must have preyed upon them
The ''bountiful" season for which they
lavished thanks assured them only
the barest necessities.
Still there is no gainsaying the
sincerity of their gratitude to God
He had given them the privilege OF
remaining, for at least another, year
in their self-appointed exile and they
found in such a situation abundant
reason for giving thanks.
This coming Thursday we give
thanks to God for His blessings-or
do we? We, too, can with good grace
ask the Lord to have mercy upon
us. We, too, are beset with fears
worries and demands for self
denial. But what are they compared
with the countless blessings we en-
JOY and take for granted?
Comparing the spirit that prompted
the first Thanksgiving day with the
spirit that characterizes todays OBJ
servances, one cannot help but be
apologize for the irresponsible thank
lessness of our present generation.
Let's not overlook our blessings this
wear
