School auditorium on Monday night,
2S Octiber 1946, with an attendance
of forty-eight.
An excellent program was planned
and carried out by the Calvert boys
All Club. Numerous and various cos
tunes were present, many of them
being so good that the judges had a
very difficult time in selecting win
ners in The three classes. AS the most
humorous, Billy Clifford, dressed as a
witch and acting the part as well,
was the winner, Byron Hawks and
Tommy Dawson dressed as sedate
backwoods lawyer and his wife, were
chosen as the most original, while
Patsy Boyle, dressed as an oriental
maiden was chosen for the prettiest
costume.
The judging was followed by guess
ing of ell costumed guests, cake
walk, which was won by Byron
Hawks and Tommy Dawson, and nu-
merous games.
William Fell, chairman of the pro-
gram committee, did an excellent job
in planning the program and keeping
activities moving to create very en-
ioyable party.

Cecil Soil Conservation

The Supervisors of the Cecil Soil
Conservation District held their reg
ular monthly meeting in the district
Office in the Sapila Building at Elk
ton. The regular business matters
were taken UP and acted on. 1t was
decided to contact the Explosive
Sales Corporation of Baltimore and
make arrangements to have some
drainage bitches shot this fall. This
method of drainage proves very salts
factory and cheap where surface
water is to be drained off the land
especially in pasture fields. 1t is not
the proper method of draining heavy
soils nor of taking care of hillside
seepage. Six agreements comprising
1928 acres were approved by the
board. Those agreements were .. 5.
Anderson, E. H. Randle, and A. M.
Wright, all in Cecilton District, and
William R. Little of Calvert, and two
farms of John Robbins of Fair Hill
District. SO acres of contour strips
have been laid out during the month
as we'll as acres of pasture manage
ment and treatment, 20 acres OF COW
er crops had been used in corn this
summer and arrangements made for
l04 acres of contour planting, some
of which has been done in seeding
the small fall grains. The district
now has 40 farms under agreement
and the interest is growing rapidly.
OF course not much actual field work
can be accomplished during the win
ter except woodland work. new plans
will be developed on farms and work
will start in the spring as soon as
possible. It is desirable to get contour
strip boundaries marked at this time
of the year so manure may be scat
tered on those strips to be plowed for
corn. The Cecil District seems to be
in a good healthy condition.

REASONS FOR
SHORE OIL HUNT

The Standard Oil Company OF New
Jersey hopes the underlying strata OF
the Ocean City, Md, region contain
a seiesr of chalky beds wkich would
form suitable traps to retain any Oil
which may be present along the At
lantic seaboard.
This was revealed as the reason
the company recently began drilling
it's first exploratory we'll in Maryland
three miles north of that resort.
Othet companies have made drill
ings in the peninsula area, presuma-
bly, for similar scientific reasons.
Standard Oil had it's operations at
Cape Hatteras, N c., as a precedent
Even though a we'll there was plug
ged as dry hole at depth of more
than 10000 feet, valuable geological
data was obtained.
The Hatteras project was started
first because it was believed that the
site would offer the greatest possibll-
tiles for a thick section of Upper
Cretacious beds, term referring to
a geological age when much chalk Is
prevalent in the soil.
1t was considered probable that the
beds in that area were deposited un-
der marine conditions and ros osszsEore-
ward in a series of overlapping
wedge-shaped beds, which would
form suitable traps for oil, if any
were present.
The hatteras project did not sue
coed. but the same theory is being
extended to Maryland's Eastern
Shore.
The Ocean City well will be drilled
to at least 5000 feet and quite pos
sibly deeper. Equipment totaling
100000 pound swas brought to the
site from Tulsa, Okla.

Maryland Com
mercial Fish Catch

Maryland's commercial fishing in
dustry is looking up, with a 17,000,-
900 pound take in prospect for this
year, or 100000 pounds more than
last years catch, Richard Tiller, BIZ
ologist, at the Chesapeake Biological
Laboratory, reports.
The l946 catch will be worth more
than $2,000,000, thanks in large
measure, to the rapid growth of
ocean fishing, Tiller said.
About half of the States total yield
will come from waters off Ocean City,
where fishing fleets are catching large
quantities of founder, trout, sea bass,
porgies, blue fish and kingfish, Tiller
said.
In 1914 fishermen caught only
$1,0OO,0O0 pounds of fish ON ocean
grounds. They caught 100000
pounds in 1945, and this years ocean
yield is expected to exceed 100000
pounds.
Almost 1876 commercial fishing
vessels operate out of Ocean City at
the peak of the season.
MdryldHu StruCh It's HiShesI plo-
duction figure in 1890, when $4,000
900 pounds of fish were taken from
the States waters.
Production deteriorated steadily
after that yield, but strictly enforced
conservation measures are working
toward higher catch levels, Tiller
said.
Freezing of commercial fishing
licenses at the 1910 level of 1000
has been one conservation measure,
Tiller reported.

Negro Senten-
ced To Hang By
Cecil Court
First Sentence Of Kind In
The Court Since 1905

Charles Lee Carman, % year old
negro, was found guilty in Cecil Cir
cult Court at Elkton, of criminal as
sault ON Mrs. Jean Streeter of near
Calvert, on June 23, and was senten-
ced to die by hanging at the State
Penitentiary, the time to be set by
the Governor of the State.
The case was heard before Chief
Judge i. Owen Knots, and Associate
Judges w. Ray Horney and Floyd j.
Kintner. Senator James w. Hughes
was assigned to defend the negro by
the Court and fulfilled his obligation
as member of the Bar and at the
direction of the court.
Such sentence is the first one to
be handed down by the Court in the
last Al years. In 1906 John Shippers
was sentenced to be hung in the local
Jail court yard after he was found
guilty of killing Albert Constable
while Mr.. Constable was taking a
walk over Red Hill.
According to testimony Carman,
member of the convict road gang,
was working on the Zion-Calvert
road and entered the Streeter resi-
dence through screen door. Mrs.
Streeter was alone at the time. She
had returned from the hospital the
day before and was at the time in
bed.
Mrs Streeter offered the intruder
money TO leave her alone.
Summoning the State Police and
in company with Trooper Dougherty.
Mr.. .SLreeter identified the negro by
an emblem on his cap, sunglasses,
tar marks on his shirt and green
border handkerchief. These articles
were found on his person when Mrs.
Streeter pointed to the negro work
ing in the gang as the man. She again
identified on the witness stand these
articles which were taken off the
convict when Jailed.
Little is known of the negro other
than that he was serving time and
working on the road gang which dur
ing June was repairing the State
roads. Seantor Hughes moved for q
new trial which was denied and then
called the attention of the Court to
his youth Henry l.. Constable,
States Attorney, by the decision of
the Court, closed fifteen successful
prosecutions at this court session.

The most pointless and disgusting

released on a suffering public in this

So ashamed of the scurrilous cam
