Page 10 COUNTY BANKS CLUB SAVINGS i SHOW TO SBO,OOO The Two Banks Of Pocomoke Total $23,500. Much Of This Is Invested In Bonds Worcester County banks released $87,550 in Christmas Club Savings Checks to individuals through the county within the past few weeks and all banks will continue a similar club for the benefit of those who wish to save money in this manner during 1943. The savings are entirely volun tary on the part of individuals who put aside in the bank each week a cer tain portion of their earnings. All banks in the county with the exception of one in Bishopville, have adopted this policy and the total amount of Christmas funds in the va- I rious banks have been reported asj follows: Calvin B. Taylor Bank, Berlin, $lB,- 000; Citizen’s National Bank, Poco moke, $17,250; Pocomoke City Na tional Bank, $16,000; Commercial National Bank, Snow Hill, $15,000; Ocean City Bank, $7,600; First Na tional Bank, Snow Hill, $4,500; Coun ty Trust Co., Snow Hill, $4,500; Ex change & Savings, Berlin, $3,000; Newark Bank, $1,700. All of the banks reported that a portion of the Savings Club funds had been used for the purchase of war bonds and stamps and that sav ings club figures in the majority of cases were below 1941, as individuals have been purchasing bonds instead through the year. Show Window Smash er Is Apprehended (Continued from Page 1) he was examining the interior of one of those new cells in the city lock up. Chief Arthur Brittingham, after being informed by the early street cleaners that there was something unfamiliar about the appearance of the above mentioned window, im meditely got busy. He rightly con cluded the window smasher wouldn’t care to spend any more time than necessary in the vicinity of his es capade, went to the passenger depot, and there spotted his quarry. Pearson was arrested, given a hearing on Mon day and held for the action of the grand jury. This was surely quick action on the part of the local police, and much credit is due to Officer Brittingham for his prompt action and his success in sizing the situ ation. Pearson, when found had the stolen overcoat on his back; and, to camou flage it, he had torn the buttons off and rumpled the coat as much as possible in order to relieve it of its newness. He showed cuts on his head which he sustained while crawling through the window. The articles he carried out con sisted of 2 overcoats; 1 suit, one under coat, 1 sweater, 1 pair men’s pajamas, one shirt, and a few other articles valued at about $75. All these were recovered except the under coat. When searched, the Negro was found unarmed, but hinted that if he had possessed a gun, they wouldn’t have taken him; intimating that it would have been just too bad for the officer. He gave no credit for any shooting ability the police had. He denied the charge at first, but final ly confessed that inasmuch as they had him, he’d better tell the truth. He confessed that this was not his first violation of law; that he had served a term of five months in a Wilmington, Delaware, jail. We do high class printing. Give as a trial.

But her foot staid right on that pesky ! thing which was partly under the seat ahead and it was too dark to see. Every once in a while she attempted to see the object, but, no use. Not until the show was over, was a dive made under the chair to w 7 rassle with whatever might be there-under. And what do you suppose it was? A little old mouth organ! Just think, amidst all the tragedy of war; amidst the wails of the wounded and dying, there should come into evi dence this little instrument of musi cal melody. There was the saving sense of humor and a hint to hunian | ity to keep music in their souls and j sing the song of a final victory of 1 peace and justice. And how did it get there? Well, I ahead of us were several little chaps of the restless order. Maybe you’ve i seen some of that kind. There were parts of the picture where the move ment was rather too slow for them. They’d get up, and sit down again. They’d slide themselves down into the seat until you couldn’t see their heads. And, once, they couldn’t stand it, two of them went out to return to dis turb the attention of their elders. Just how this musical instrument got out of the pocket of one of them, I know not, but it did, and he claimed it on the spot when his eyes caught sight of it. So, after all, troubles when faced, fade away; just as the deadly bomb faded into the harmless piece that boys use to satisfy their longing for song. So may it always be! ! “GRAND / SLAM ” r' / /t Arn rloiet / / ** L * TTL , B PA/ f / (ihoun optn, r “orcmd dam” - </ 1 “/ MMe dam” - s BY LENTHERIC 3 i Two of the most easy-to-give l presents Lentheric has ever created.

Experi ments have shown such an arrange ment satisfactory, Colonel Barrett ’ said. The Third Service Command agreed to the suggestion, and Colonel Bar , rett said he has issued a directive to civilian defense leaders in the dimout I counties, asking them to see that • motorists follow the new 7 procedure for dimming their headlights. Colonel Barrett said it was hoped , that certain garages could be desig nated to do the work because “many of the motorists don’t do the paint { job right.” Ornamental street lights in the dim out area have been cut from 400 to i 250 watts, Colonel Barrett continued, and the mast arm, or plain arc lights, have been cut from 150 to 75 w r atts. He added he would urge the East ern Shore communities in the dimout area to use tin cans to shield their street lights if other materials are not available. O. L. THOMPSON POCOMOKE CITY, MD.
