Roy M. Messick of this county and Washington DC has been granted a patent for an automatic check distributor and register for distributing and registering checks for piece work in canning factories such as peeling tomatoes and husking corn.

Hatch ing Stations Close and State Fishery Cutback
The Conservation Commission voted to close seven fish hatching stations saving about 13000 annually. The move affects 20 plus workers as existing offices were absorbed from the Eastern and Western Shore fish commissioners. Two new experimental stations will be set up on the Little Choptank River on the Eastern Shore and on the Garrett County land to reduce costs while maintaining fish culture goals.
