Time Machine: 100 years ago this week in Pocomoke's newspaper, 1943, 1989, 1935, 1979, 2002.

 

Note (article below): Declamation requires students to select a speech that was delivered in public and perform an excerpt of that speech to an audience.

(Article below- Cringe alert!) Is publishing allegations from a speaker who is soliciting financial contributions from those attending, and who is also selling a book, a legitimate news story for any section of the newspaper?  And this article was given top of the page front page placement.  Also, the article writer seems to be interjecting  personal opinion or gullibility as news.

(Article below) Racial characterizations were common during this era both in small town and large city newspapers.  Does this article stray from a factual news account to a hint of endorsing a sentence of constitutionally banned cruel and unusual punishment?  

September, 1943

(The circus in Crisfield that's mentioned in this article had a tie-in with an incident involving a future President of the United States.  It's explained in the item that follows this one.)

The Pocomoke City Police Department has received State funding to equip two police vehicles with new License Plate Readers.

This will assist officers with enforcing traffic laws and improving traffic safety with new and modern technology. The cost to equip these two vehicles was over $30,000 and came to no cost of the city or the citizens of Pocomoke. For the first time ever our department currently has 3 patrol vehicles equipped with License Plate Readers.
