was very much pleased with his trip
through the country, and regretted
he was unable to make more frequent
visits.
One matter of vital interest to Ro-
tarians was mentioned by the Gov
ernor, and the local members We're
gratified to learn he was with them
in opposing the division of $50 Dis
trict on the ground it covered too
much territory. All the clubs, Girls
field, Princess Anne and Pocomoke
are strenuously against the PROPOSE
ton and will fight it whenever it be-
comes a question before the Confer
ence.
The club presidents all made short
talks, those coming from Jesse D.
Evans, of Crisfield; DR.. Landlord,
substituting for Dr. r. H. Johnson,
Princess Anne; and B. Fuller Walters
of Pocomoke City.
The speaker of the evening was
Rev. John Oldham, pastor of Make
ME Memorial Presbyterian Church
Snow Hill, Md. He took for his
theme: "The Abundant Life" and
showed that it might be obtained,
stressing the matter Of responsibility,
service, and sacrifice. His speech was
much enjoyed by all present.
The musical program was in charge
of the club song leader, DR.. Louis G.
Llewellyn, supplemented very ably by
the club pianist, Mrs. Anna Mcclure.
Mrs. Mcclure had obtained the val
liable services of Mrs. Henry Watson,
and Messrs. John Rev and Robert
Hayman. Solos, duets, trios, and
quartets, were the order and all rem
dered in such manner as to add ma
terially to the enjoyment of the eve
ming.
The Crisfield club demonstrated
what could be done in these days of
rationing, by hiring a bus and, there
by attending in body. They came up
about 20 strong.

foot wherever practicable.
In the rural areas and those lying
outside where such use will not be
possible, the meters will be read once
every three months. Customers are
to be sent a card plainly showing the
meter dial, on which the customer is
asked to mark the present position of
the hands on the meter. The bill will
be based upon this returned card
which must be returned within two
days so that the meter reading can
be based upon its readings. No post
age is required on these cards. In
cases where such cards are not re-
turned by the customer, the bill will
be estimated. All estimated bills are
to be corrected when the meter is
read. The Company also announces
that in these rural and outside areas
all collection service will be discon-
tinued Checks for bills may be mail
ed, when it is inconvenient to call at
the office. Because of the stopping
of "delinquencies CALI prompt pay
ment is urged.
AS stated before, all of these
changes have been made as a part of
the war effort on the part of the Com
pany to save rubber and conserve gas
oline supplies, both of which are bad
ly needed for the nations war pro-
gram. None of them will affect the
service and are designed to cause the

with the company in its efforts to
render full service and save these es-
sentials at the same time.

dreds of speciality shops of this,
the worlds greatest metropolis.
Let us first consider the big de-
partment stores. The different
price range stores are generally
found in different sections Of the
city. Those with the higher priced
merchandise are mostly congre.
gated on Fifth Avenue between
And and 34th Streets. These stores
do not go in very much for house
hold appliances. They specialize
mostly in apparel for both men and
women, in all articles from hats to
shoes-and everything in between.
Dress materials are also to be
found 0lere in great profusion.
These stores can also be ranked
as medium.priced establishments,
with exceptional values scattered
here and there throughout their
many departments, so as to attract
the thrifty shopper.
Then along S4th Street, going
West from Fifth Avenue, you en-
counter a little lower priced range
of big stores, centering finally
around Sixth Avenue and Broad
way, between 32nd and 35th
Streets. Here are some of New
York's biggest establishments,
where you can get every conceiv-
able article-including the most
amazing assortment of household
equipment one can imagine, within
all price ranges. There are i'm
mense assortments of groceries,
wines and liquors. Just to mention
a few departments, where the
stock displayed is probably not
equalled for its quantity and
variety, there are books, eye
glasses, linens, curtains, furniture,
stamp collections, dishes and. table
ware, kitchen utensils, electrical
appliances from refrigeratQrs and
washing machines to coasters,

specialize in nothing else. There
are, of course, basement depart

Now let us travel downtown for
about mile to 14th Street and we
come to what has been dubbed "the
poor mans Broadway" That
designation does not mean much
today, because Broadway is no
longer street for fine shops. The
theatrical, amusement and restau.
rant lines have. taken over the en-
tire Times Square district. But for
all that, the 14th Street district is
the great shopping center for low
priced goods. But don't make the
mistake Of thinking that the great
establishments on 14th Street have
only cheap goods-they just spe-
cialize in them; and the bargains
you can get there will make trip
to New York worthwhile in itself.
One store down there claims to
carry the greatest stock Of house

the world; and their prices are
rarely beaten, if equalled, else
where. 1t is volume that does it.e
Further downtown are other es.
adjustments, nationally famous for
quality and variety; also others
where prices are so low a visit is
worthwhile.
If New York had no more to
offer than it's host of great stores
with their vast stock of merchan-
disc, priced at narrow margins of
profit because of volume and
quick turnover, it would still be the
worlds greatest city and we'll
