Sunday, Nov. 10, 1968 --

• A new flag will soon fly over the veterans monument on North Salisbury Boulevard at Priscilla Street. The flag draped the casket of Horace Robert Park, a Purple Heart veteran of World War II, when he was buried in Seaford with military honors in April. Mr. and Mrs. James B. Parker of Liberty Street, the parents of the 47-year-old soldier who died last spring, have donated the 5-foot-by-9 foot flag as part of Veterans Day ceremonies.
• As part of its one-day Veterans Day Sale, The Hecht Co. in the Salisbury Mall is selling new hand-crafted 1969 Zenith Color TVs for only $529. With 295 square inches of viewing area, the television sets offer the largest screen on today’s market. The cabinet features finished walnut veneers and select hardwood solids. The picture is so good, according to an advertisement, that the TV is “as good as a season ticket to the Baltimore Colts.”
• As far as Wicomico Democratic Central Committee chairman George E. Bahen is concerned, the 1970 political campaign season begins Monday night. Bahen and his seven fellow committee members will begin planning for the next election, following the party’s drubbing in last week’s balloting. Wicomico voted Republican in all of the congressional contests, as well as in president-elect Richard Nixon’s victory over Hubert Humphrey.
• Wicomico residents are on alert for the possibility of a major snow storm which could dump up to 4 inches beginning Monday night. Western Maryland was hit with heavy snow on Sunday, and the storm is headed east, meteorologists said. The storm is considered a surprise, as the venerable Hagerstown Almanac doesn’t mention snow for Maryland until Dec. 4.
• Three break-ins were reported overnight Saturday in the Salisbury area. At least 20 guns were stolen from Voigt’s Hobby and Sport Shop on North Salisbury Boulevard, a classroom TV was stolen from Fruitland Intermediate School and a camera was taken from Snow White Laundry on Old Ocean City Road. In the sport shop break-in, automatic shotguns, high-powered rifiles and handguns were taken.
