TIME MACHINE ... This Sunday's Preview.

1947.. Ten people charged with operating slot machines in Ocean City; 1977.. Recalling a tunnel short-cut to school in Princess Anne; 1913.. Help for delivering Deal Island mail- it's an automolbile!; 1910.. Carrie Nation, nationally known for her vigorous campaign against alcohol, stomps through the Eastern Shore;  1774.. Tobacco levy on citizens will pay for new Worcester County church; and a final portion of the observations written by a visitor to Chincoteague in 1903.

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!
