Preaching Mis
sion In Richmond
November 4-7
Speakers Prominent In Relig
ions Of America And Great
Britain On Program
Richmond, Ya., July 25—Dr. R. H.!
Forrester, of Reedsville and Dr. J. j
B. Hunley, of Dunnsville, have been I
appointed chairmen to complete ar
rangements for a series of one-day
missions to be held in Northern Neck
anti Southside Counties following the
four-day Virginia Preaching Mission
to be held at the Mosque in this city,
November 4-7. Announcement of the
appointments was made yesterday by
Dr. George S. Reamey, Secretary of
the State Committee and general
publicity chairman.
Similar missions will be held in
other cities and towns throughout
Virginia after the close of the cen
tral mission here, when speakers
prominent in religious life both in
America and Great Britain will ap
pear on programs to be presented
both during the day and at night.
Many acceptances to conduct the one
and two-day events have been re
ceived by Dr. Reamey.
Encouraging reports auguring a
representative attendance from every
section of the State have stimulated
officials in charge of arrangements
to provide a program which will in
sure success of the four-day mission,
the first event of its kind ever held
in Virginia.
Dr. J. Manning Potts, presiding
elder of the Richmond District,
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
chairman of the State ocmmittee, es
timated that in excess of 2,000 min
isters and laymen from all sections,
of Virginia were expected to attend j
the sessions here.
Recognizing the possibilities for j
stimulating the moral and spiritual!
life in Virginia communities as a re-1
suit o: the four-day session, mem-1
hers nf the State committee are
bending their efforts toward formu-,
kiting excellent programs embracing j
all phases of religious work in sup-j
port of the distinguished speakers!
wh,> will appear. Special emphasis I
is being laid on a State-wide youth j
conierence to be held concomitantly!
with the mission.
Accentuating primarily the revival
°f modern religion, the purposes of
the Preaching Mission are to en
courage the ministry of the church;
to restore evangelism to its proper
place in church life; to train laymen
for personal evangelism; to empha-!
size the essential unity of all com
i' unions; to resolve the division be
tween the personal and social gospel; \
to promote closer cooperation be
tween the church and organized
labor; to promulgate Christianity in
schools and colleges; to challenge
the church to a fresh sacrificial en
deavor, and to stress the sufficiency
of Christ for modern life.

Crabs Pass Up
Traveling Far,
Survey Shows
Longest Distance Traveled By
Tagged Crab Was From Dela
ware To Metompkin Bay'
Studies conducted for three years
by the Maryland State Department
of Conservation into the migratory
habits of crabs have established the
fact that crabs are home-keeping
bodies, living their lives in the bod
ies of water where they are found,
although allowing themselves some
latitude in their native waters.
The researches of the Maryland
Conservation Commission, conducted
by the tagging of 10,000 crabs, have
shown definitely that crabs do not
travel from one major body of water
to another, as from Delaware bay
or Pamlico sound to the Chesapeake.
On the other hand, studies of the
commission, whose chairman is form
er Judge Robert F. Duer, of Somer
set County, have also definitely es
tablished that there is a movement
of crabs, according to their age and
sex, within the various major areas.
They do move about the bay, for
example.
Of the 10,000 crabs which were
tagged about 12 per cent, were re
turned.
The longest distance traveled by
a crab was from upper Delaware
bay to Metompkin bay, about 100
miles. Elapsed time was nine
months. Winner of this marathon
was a female.
Also a female was the speed
champion, released in the Chesapeake
at West river and returned from
Onancock, Ya., 04 miles distant, 3$
hours later.
A male crab was captured and
released three times in the same sec
tion.
The commission began crab-tag
ging, not to amass academic data,
but with the practical purpose of
determining the source of crab sup
ply in Maryland and Virginia in
order to promote conservation meas
ures. From an annual value exceed
ing $2,000,000 the crab industry' had
shrunk in 1935 to about a third of
this figure, owing to depletion of
supply.
In the Chesapeake bay area, most
mature, mated crabs move to the
lower bay in the fall and hibernate.
With the coming of spring they
shake off their winter stupor and
move nearer the ocean, w'here dur
ing the summer — especially ir
June and July — they spawn.
Each crab lays approximately
1 750,000 eggs, carried on the ap
pendages of the underside of the
| female. Male crabs do not migrate
j in numbers to the saltier waters, bui
remain in Maryland waters during
the cold weather.
Crabs reach their maturity ir
Maryland and the females return t(
Virginia, where spawning takes place
and where the young crabs live until
grown to one-half or three-quarters
of an inch, they move into Mary
land waters. Crabs are about 11
months old when maturity and mat
ing take place. Spawning takes
place at two years. Crabs die ir
their third year.
To get data on coastwise move
ments of crabs the Conservatior
Department extended tagging oper
ations to the waters or North Caro
lina, as far south as the Eeaufort
region in Core sound and north to
Barnegat, X. J., including Delaware
bay. Five thousand crabs from the
Chesapeake were released in coast
waters and not one has returned to
the Chesapeake area, so far as can
be learned.
Virginia, North Carolina and Del
aware have cooperated with the
Maryland Conservation Commission,
operations having been carried on at
Chesapeake Biological Laboratory,
Solomons Island, under direction of
Dr. R. V. Truitt. Information ob
tained has been used to reach an
understanding with the Virginia
Fishery Commission, result being
cessation of sponge-crab capture in
the lower bay region and the re
moval of November from the Mary
land crabbing season.
With adoption of a closed sponge
crab season in Virginia the expecta
tion is that next year will see prog
ress in the restoration of the crab
industry.

In Memoriam
In loving memory of Mareie W.
Rhodes, who died one year ago.
i August 2 ,1936.
, The moon and stars are shining,
; Upon a lonely grave,
Where lies my dear husband,
j Whom I loved but could not save.
, A silent thought, a secret tear,
Keeps your memory ever dear,
For me you always did your best,
May God grant you eternal rest.
A happy home we once enjoyed,
How sweet the memory still,
I But death has left a loneliness,
The world can never fill.
God is good, He gives me strength
! To bear my heavy cross,
He is the only one who knows,
How bitter is my loss.
A broken hearted wife,
Mrs. Mareie Rhodes.
Long days, long nights he bore his
pain,
j He waited for cure but all in vain,
Till God himself knew what was best
And took him home and gave hin
rest.
He has left us broken hearted,
Friends may think the wound is
healed,
But they little know the sorrow,
That is in our hearts concealed.
I
| Oh! What would we give to clasp his
i hand,
j And his dear face to see,
1 To hear his voice to see his smi'e
As in days that use to be.
| We miss you now, our hearts arc
I sore,
As time goes by we miss you more
Your loving smile, your gentle face
No one can fill your vacant place.
I
