Festival
Plans Shaping Up
Dave Greene, Festival
President, Says 1t
Looks Like This Years
Fete Will Be The Great
est Ever Staged On
The Peninsula.

Plans for the Eastern Shores
biggest event, the Delmarva Chick
en- Festival, are shaping up nicely
in their final stages according to
Dave Greene, festival president.
''We believe this is going to be
another festival which will do full
credit to the effort and initiative
of our interested people and will
bring its usual tremendous bene-
fit to every brOiler grower on the
Peninsula" Mr.. Green said.
"The national publicity which
the events generate, particularly
the Junior Chicken Cooking Con-
test and the National Chicken
Cooking Contest, could not be
bought for a million dollars and
there is no way of knowing just
how many additional millions of
broilers are sold as a result of it,
he added.
Certainly, the undertaking mer-
its the support of every one who
raises poultry or who is engaged
in business on the Shore. That
support means not only financial
support but participation in the
events" Mr.. Greene said. Every
woman who is an experienced cook
should consider entering the con-
tests to help assure their success.
Any and every attractive girl is
invited to participate in the Miss
Delmarva Contest and every bus
mess or organization can find a
welcome in the mammoth parade"
he said.
Monday. Tuesday and Wednes-
day, July 9, 10 and II, are the
festival dates and Salisbury is the
site.
Appropriate opening ceremonies
at the Poultry Equipment Show to
be held at the First Regiment Ar
mOry will inaugurate the program.
Practically all booths available for
this showing have been engaged
and the affair, being held for the
second time, is assured of success.
On Tuesday the 10th, the two
main events are the Junior Chick
IN Cooking Contest and the Miss
)elmarva Contest. both of which
will be held at State Teachers Col
ege in Salisbury. The Cooking
Contest will be a morning affair
while the Miss Delmarva Contest
will be held in the afternoon. Mrs.
A. L. Karlik of Salisbury, Miss
Hattie Brooks of Cambridge, Mrs.
Margaret Nelson, Delmar and Miss
Doris Walker, AccOmac, are hand
ling both cooking contests while
Edgar Boyd of Salisbury and Earl
S. Hawk of Bridgeyille, are in
charge of the Queen Contest.

Fine Start.

liciting committee of 100 of Cal

has been a real success. Members
and friends, far and near, are help
ing in the spirit of true brother
hood The campaign directors ex-
pect to realize the full quota of
100000 in this initial period. The
workers found the people ready
and waiting. Since the tragic fire
of March 3, the church has had
many expressions of sympathy.
Some said it with contributions at
the time, others said when you are
ready to rebuild be sure to call on
me. Now it has been found that
they meant just what they said.
They are responding and doing SO
gladly. The people are sympa-
thetic and are making real ex-
pressiOns of their interest in COM
welfare and the Christian
Church.
The planning committee will
complete the plans for the new
building in the near future. and
the architects, Gifin and Kremer
of ROsemOnt, Pa, will complete
the blue prints and the specifica-
tiOns. Then all will be ready for
the contractors. 1t has been ask
ed when will the work begin. The
one answer is. just as soon as
possible, for if there ever was a
congregation that missed a lost
and wanted a new one. it
IS the people of Calvary Church.
