Randall, the efficient and polite state policeman attached to the station near Eastm, observed his fifth year with the state police. Just five years ago he came to Easton as his first appointment, and has been here ever since.

Duty is his main objective. Ha patrols the roads night and day and every week the police court finds him with a case of some sort. It may be a drunken driver, a speed demon, or a man who has failed to have his license renewed. He watches the roads very carefully, keeps in touch with the police news, and is untiring in his search for volators of the law. With such an officer on duty the traveling public feels much safer while traveling.

Randall has served Talbot and adjoining territory well in the past five years, and the Star-Democrat efctends congratulations not only to Mr. Randall for his fine record, but also to the State Police Department in having such a fine officer in its ranks. It is sincerely hoped that Mr. Randall will be kept here indefinitely, where he has made many friends and where his duty swerves him neither to the right nor to the left. Sergeant Weber has been off on suck leave for a month, and is expected to return Saturday.

Officer Randall has been the controlling spirit at the Easton substation during Sergeant Weber's absence. EASTON IsVoTED FOR ITS FLOWER GARDENS Past Flower Shows Here Were A Revelation To Many In these depressed times, reports from the Shore indicate that never before in the history of this section has so much attention centered on flower gardening. We do not wonder at it. There is something mighty restful and soothing to the troubled spirit in the gorgeous color of the vast variety of growth, budding and blooming into flowers and flowering shrubs with which we can beautify our own particular little niche. This interest in flower gardens is particularly noticeable in Easton and vicinity.

Noted for many years for its beautiful flowers, which have made Talbot one of the beauty spots of the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula, the gardens in this community this year are even more vividly gorgeous than ever before. The roses and peonies in particular will be exceptionally fine this spring, while some of the gardens in the town are a riot of color as many different varieties of flowers delight the eye and spread fragrance in the air. The past Flower Show held here gave some idea of the beauty that may be found in this section. But for any stranger to come to Easton some of its residence streets there is a continual chain of gardens that keep them constantly exclaiming with delight. Perhaps some residents of the community do not appreciate all this beauty to be found in their midst to the same extent as do the strangers who come to see and marvel over nature's most delightful masterpieces.

But if there is any Eastonian who is a bit downcast, who is sick at heart over some business reverse, or who has suffered some great sorrow a walk about town where the flower gardens are most attractive, will most assuredly bring peace and rest to the troubled spirit. K5S 1 ELECTRICAL SERVICE ELECTRIC LIGHT and POWER WIRING REPAIR WORK Raymond Eberhard Phone 952-J N. Park St. EASTON, MD. QUALITYer' S7X Judge Miller had a few cases before him on Friday last.

A colored woman who is an habitual drunkard and who frequents the police court on the charge of intoxication, was lectured by the judge after she pleaded guilty to being drunk. The officer claims she was drunk on the sidewalk huddled up in a heap when he carried her to jail. Judge Miller said he would suspend sentence this time on payment of costs. $3.10. He advised the police that the next time they found the prisoner drunk to lay a charge a vagrancy against her and he would send her to the House of Correction.

A colored man who recently bought a truck was operating it with dealer's license beyond the ten-day period. He was also charged with improper lights on the truck. He was found guilty of the last charge and fined $5 and costs. The first charge re ceived a suspended sentence. A New Jersey woman was picked up for exceeding the speed limit.

She forfeited collateral when she failed to appear in court. A colored man charged with assault was fined $2 and costs, total $7.10. The assault grew out of an argument with a colored woman, and the judge could not get the full details of the trouble and imposed a light sentence. About three weeks ago a white woman and her husband were implicated in a quarrel on the East End. Officer Baer went to the scene and asked them to moderate their voices and go home before they got into trouble.

The woman insisted the officer arrest her husband, who she claimed had stolen money from her pocketbook. The officer stated that she should first get a warrant and then he would act. The woman opened up on the officer, using vile language and striking him in the head. His hat was knocked off, and while reaching for it he claims the woman bit him in the side causing an ugly wound which required several trips to the doctor. The judge called in the family physician, who stated the woman was suffering from a nervous disorder.

The judge was inclined to be lenient with her, on the promise that she make every effort to control her temper when she felt one of these spells coming on. She stated that she didnt know when this was. The judge suspended sentence on payment of costs $6.20. On Monday afternoon Judge Miller had a few cases before him. A colored man charged with being drunk and disorderly was found guilty and fined $25 and costs or stand committed to the county jail until fine and costs are paid.

A colored man charged with being disorderly on the streets of Easton was found guilty and sentence suspended on payment of costs, $3.10. The man's wife, also implicated in the disorder, was found guilty and received the same sentence. A colored man who was charged with operating a car without a license was found guilty but sentence suspended on payment of costs, 75 cents, and the promise to get a license at once. This man failed tc have his license renewed and continued to operate a car on the old one. ATTEND EX STATE POLICE SCHOOL Two young men, John Dougherty and J.

"New Ferry, ferry, what's a ferry and what were all of those quick moving contraptions that came out of it and why did they come out and then go right back in again? Is this a Troy trick? Something peculiar about all these actions. I think ye are Calvert's agents. Produce your papers." "We have no connections with the Calverts. Here are the papers, Sir," said the white box ferry man as he unfurled the scroll. "And, may I ask, who are you to claim this land in the name of the Commonwealth cf Virginia?" "B-r-r-r-r, Me? I righteously lay claim to this island.

My authority is from Charles I. King. I am his Representative, William Claiborne, gentleman pioneer. I have established here the only trading post along the shores of the great Chesapeake." "Is that so? What do you trade?" "We have a full supply of good axes, powder, shot, trinkets, and brandies from Merrie England." "Is that so? Who do you trade with?" "Indians, Susquehannocks, Good trappers, they be. Also good pretenders 'like the Calverts, Bah! Look! There comes another one My life and time it's faster than a scared deer.

What possesses it? By what term do ye describe it?" "Why, Captain Claiborne, that is an automobile." "Auto what? What makes it go?" asked the querulous Captain. "Gasoline," answered the Ferry man. "Oh, My! New names, new contraptions, new dress, everything new. What changes I have witnessed. It's amazing.

But what about the white box I want to see?" "Captain, believe me, nothing would give me more pleasure than to conduct you through the new Ferry and then have you sit by my hearth and reminisce. Come with me, won't you please?" The whistle tooted, Claiborne jumped and as the lines were cast off the Shuttle Ferry Governor Emerson O. Harrington, II, got under way. GASOLINE TAXES YIELD $105,000,000 Sixteen years ago, June 1st 1922, the motorists of Maryland paid for the first time, a tax on each gallon of gasoline purchased. The rate of tax on that date was 1 cent per gallon.

Two years later it was increased to 2 cents per gallon, and in 1927 it was further increased to 4 cents per gallon. It was originally levied and subsequently increased for the sole purpose of financing highways. In 1932, the duplicating federal tax of 1 cent per gallon on gasoline was added, the receipts from this tax going to the general expenses of the Federal Government. Since June 1st, 1922, Maryland motorists have paid $92,544,000 in state gasoline taxes plus $13,241,000 in federal gasoline taxes, making a total of $105,785,000, it was reported by J. E.

Meintzer, Chairman of the Talbot County Petroleum Industries Committee. A splendid and deserving birthday jresent to the motorist on this day would be a firm resolve by all public officials as well as those who aspire to be rjublic officials, to stop diver-j sion of motor vehicle revenue and; spend on the highways the motor, taxes paid for that purpose. Then! and only then, will it be possible for i Maryland to return to its rightful i place leader in highways. i Thrilling story by H.
