TIME MACHINE ... This Sunday's Preview


1975.. New school year brings new controversy regarding Snow Hill High School newspaper; 1901.. Soft crabs are scarce, price is as high as $1 a dozen in Crisfield; 1977.. Judge rules no to proposed Ocean City rock festival; 1895.. For another young Virginia couple it's off to Pocomoke City to seek marriage; 1940.. Maryland's "Blue Law" that prohibits Sunday morning swimming is challenged; and the first of several installments of an article from 112 years ago about Tangier Island and its residents.

Although you may not find all of these items in a history book, they are a part of our local history and you can read more about it this Sunday right here at The Pocomoke Public Eye!   

Do you have a local memory to share with PPE readers.. such as a big snow storm, a favorite school teacher, a local happening, something of interest your parents or grandparents told you about?  It can be just a line or two, or more if you wish.   Send to  tkforppe@yahoo.com and watch for it on a future TIME MACHINE posting!
