PRINCESS ANNE FIREMEN
NOT TO HOLD CARNIVAL

Because of the war, because of the
necessary restrictions on gasoline and
tires, and because it is everybody
business to put his whole time and
effort into war production and his
money into war bonds and stamps, the
Princess Anne Volunteer Fire Com
pany will not hold it's annual carni-
val this summer.
In announcing the company's de-
cision this week, Chief Raymond NJ
Carey said, "Yet the war situation
which causes the company to abandon
the carnival this year has brought
upon the company expenses far be-
yond any experienced i'll the past, and
the carnival has always been our
greatest source of income.
"The only solution for the present
condition." Chief Carey continued, "is
for our company to solicit individual
contributions from our friends and we
hope that all of them will help US
during this emergency as generously
as they possibly can"
AS the Chief pointed out, no fire
mems parade can be held under the
gas and tire restrictions, and no pa
triotic citizen would ask for the con-
tinuation of these peace-time good
times while the war continues.

CRISFIELD ROTARY CLUB
ACTIVE IN RUBBER DRIVE

Following the request of Presi-
dent Roosevelt for all citizens every
where to salvage scrap rubber, cop
per, etc, Crisfield Rotary Club voted
on Wednesday to include 10 pounds
of scrap in the admission price to its
annual Ladies Night Celebration, to
be held at the Masonic Temple dining
room on Wednesday evening next.
The Ladies Night celebration of the
Crisfield Rotary Club is one of the
high spots Of the year for its mem
bers, and the inclusion of admission
requirements of ten pounds of scrap
rubber, rags, iron, copper or some sort
of salvage material, was hailed by its
membership as one way to be sure
that the individual club members
would make a definite contribution to
the Sect in the Scrap" campaign, to
be conducted in Crisfield on June 10Th
and goth.
J. Loren Sterling is in charge of
the Ladies Night program. The sug-
gestion of requiring the "scrap" for
admission was made by President
elect Thomas H. Briddell, at the con-
ciusion of an explanation of the Get
in the Scrap" campaign by Jos. S
McGrath.

MISSING BOYS BODY
FOUND IN THE HONGA

The seven-day hunt for two-year-
old Benjamin Lewis Jr., ended with
the finding of his body in the Honga
river, six miles from the Hoopers
Island home of his grandparents.
The body was discovered by Delmas
Dean as he was grabbing at the far
end of an adjoining island.
Drowning was given as the cause
of death by Dr. Joseph K. Shriver,
medical examiner.
The child was the son of a war
worker, who lives in the 5000 block
Ravenwood avenue, Baltimore. He
disappeared while spending the Me-
mortal Day holiday with his parents
on HoOpers Island.
Mr.. Calvin Harrington Jr., Dor
chester county States Attorney, and
Sheriff James R. Thomas hurried to
the scene as soon as news of the find
ing of the body reached Cambridge.
State Police Corp. C. c. Serman
summoned DR.. Joseph X. Shriver,
medical examiner, and the boys faith
er to the scene, and the officials re-
ported finding no marks Of violence
on the body. Dr.. Shriver gave a GER
tificate of accidental drowning.
Residents of the island said it would
have been impossible for the boy to
have walked to the section where the
body was found because of bog-in-
tested marshes.
Watermen said the boy apparently
waded into the river in front of his
grandparents home and drowned, and
the body floated down the river.
County police abandoned the search
Wednesday, with the announcement
that the boy apparently drowned, but
the hunt was continued by State po-
lice, water craft and civilians.

POTATOES FROM EASTERN
VIRGINIA START ROLLING

Light shipments of potatoes have
been moved from lower Northampton
county last week, with prices rang
ing around $3.50 per barrel, fob,
shipping point. Potatoes in bags
have been bringing from 1925 to
$2.4O.
According to information, farmers
in that section are getting from 30
to 40 barrels per acre. Much heavier
shipments are expected from that area
beginning Tuesday of next week.
Beans took slump, following Mon
days prices of from $1.OO to $3.50 for
Bountifuls, and $1.75 to $500 for
Black Valentines. Tuesday, the mar
ket sagged, and the prices have been
from Csc to S1.0O, with a few fancies
bringing a little higher price. Due
to the heavy shipments of beans from
Cape Charles to Princess Anne, the
market was glutted Tuesday morning,
and has never recovered.
Cabbage harvesting is practically
over, and some farmer realized a
small profit from the crop Copen-
hagen has been selling for from $1.25
to $3.50 during the week, with Wake
field not so strong.
Shipments of onions are expected
to begin next week. Prices are low,
due, it is said, to the unusually large
Texas acreage and big yield follow
ing perfect weather conditions.

SECONDARY HIGHWAYS
NOT TO BE CONSTRUC TED

The supervisors of Northampton
county have been advised by the State
Highway department that many of
the secondary highways throughout
this section will not be given bitumi-
nous surface treatment as planned
due to shortages of materials, such
as iron, steel, aluminium, chromium,
fuel oil, glycerine and many other
products necessary to the carrying on
of regular programs of the depart
ment. The work of the department
will be prosecuted only on such roads
as are certified by the public roads
administrator as necessary for sue
cessful prosecution of war"
Even patching work will be cur
tailed, although a considerable guam
tity of this will be carried on with
calcium chloride until such time as
restrictions are placed on this ma
terial
No project, for the duration, will
be started which will cost more than
$4,000, unless it is certified by the
administrator, it was pointed out.
Further, it was announced that it has
been necessary to release from duty
a number of employees and that no
requirements of the released person
mel was expected or contemplated.
In brief, it was stated that only APP
proximately IS per cent of the nor
NAL program of the department was
anticipated for the period of the dura-
