PROPOSED LECIS.
LATION FOR REGU-
LAR SESSION OF THE
GENERAL ASSEMBLY
Early Thought and Consider
alton Urged Upon Citizens
and Legislators

plain that the people are slow t.
indicate desired legislation ant
that proposed bills are not pre-
sented until the last few weeks o
the session. This results alway
in hurried action and often in i'll
legislation.
The Delmarvia Star is seeking
to impress upon its readers tn
advisability of preparedness on tn
part of both citizens and legisla
tors for the measures which ma,
be proposed and acted upon at tn
coming session of the Legislature
now less than two months off. TIL
Star has made a business of col
lecting as nearly as possible al

suggested during the past tw
years.

FIRST AID COURSE
TO HELP PREVENT
'WASTACE' LIFE
Red Cross Plans instruction for
Industrial Establishments and
Schools in America.

The First Aid Division of the Ameri-
can Red Cross is mapping out plans to
advance proficiency in accident pre-
vention among industrial workers and
among the public at large, according to
an announcement made by Ethan Al
len. Manager of the Atlantic Division.
1t is the hope of the Red Cross that
ultimately every man, woman and child
III the country will be trained in the
administration of standard first aid
methods. There is particular need of
immediate training in this respect i'll
industrial plants and schools, and an
especially good field for this work Is
afforded in the great industrial GEN.
tiers and factory towns in the territory
OF the Atlantic Division of the Red
Cross.
In the very recent past there were
hundreds of deaths annually as the re-
suit Of inattention during the first few
minutes Immediately following acci.
dents in factories, mines and other in
dustrial centers. Several of the States,
recognizing this condition, have lately
enacted laws providing for First Aid
training in big plants, and almost
weekly greater and greater numbers
Of establishments are voluntarily TAX
ing up the work in States where 1t Is
not compulsory by law.
Based on Modern Surgery.
The Red Cross First Aid instruction
imparts the necessary knowledge to
care for sudden injuries by means of
lectures and practical demonstrations
based on the latest findings of modern
surgery, augmented by common sense.
In such knowledge lies a material con-
servation of the industrial power of
the nation to say nothing of the hui
manitarian advantage.
The value of First Aid is so appar-
ent as to need no explanation. The life
Of a child may often be saved by the
intelligent application of simple relief
methods that cannot be delayed except
with fatal consequences until a doctor
is summoned. Many a workman meets
with a serious accident and dies on his
way to a hospital who might have re-
covered had there been an application
of First Aid in the few minutes imme-
diately following his injury.
1t has also been proved that efficient
First Aid treatment shortens the time
lost by disabled workmen. Hospital
records have shown that patients who
have received First Aid treatment at
the scene of their injuries are invaria-
bly, in better condition upon entering
the hospital than those who have not
and are discharged sooner. This has
been confirmed by railroads, by mining
and lumber industries and other large
concerns where the employees are es-
pecially liable to accident.
There is apparent also a need for
such ,qction and training III
schools. NJ a formative period of their
lives children and young persons learn
First Aid efficiency even more quickly
than adults.

Cold Weather Receding

The temperature last Saturday,
Sunday and Monday mornings was
down to 10; Tuesday 20, Wednesday
30, Thursday ga, and this Friday 38.
The heavy ice in the river hindered
the Wilmington ferry boats from run
ming after last Saturday.
The Wilson line boats, City of Ches-
ter and Camden made their regular
trips, touching at Penns Grove, until
Thursday afternoon when they did not
run because of the dense fog on the
river. The dense fog continues thru
the night and this Friday forenoon.
The Wilson line ran this morning.
Penns Grove folks went to and
came from Wilmington on the Wilson
boats. The steamer Brandywine runs
round trips morning and afternoon,
between Deepwater and Wilmington.
Between 500 and 600 men from Will
mington come ver to work at the Dye
Works. Some of the girls whose
schools are in Wilmington go to the
Deep Water Point to cross on the
B~randywine as a sure boat. The
Brandywine was so delayed by the
heavy ice that workmen were late in
getting at their positions. 1t caused
such a decrease in efficiency that or
ders were given that those who de-
sired to hold their positions must live
on the Jersey side.
During Friday night the wind veer-
ed to s%outherly. Warmer temperature
and brackish water driven up the river
loosened the ice from the shore on
Wednesday. 1t broke up and rapidly
disappeared on Thursday and this
Friday. Yet, much ice is coming down
the river and floating in the channel.

Another New Industry

The Welsbach Gas Mantle Company,
of Gloucester City, have arranged to
operate a branch of their big concern
in Penns Grove.
The Company has, through the
efforts of the Chamber of Commerce,
leased three large stores on South
Broad Street, near the Moose home,
and will begin at once to install the
necessary machinery to begin opera
tons. They will employ between SO
and 100 girls at the start. Girls and
women desiring employment with the
Company should apply to Walter Ed
gar, post office building.
1t is the Company's desire to have
everything in readiness to begin
operations in about two weeks.

Now a National Bank

On October 3rd, the Directors of
Peoples Bank of Penns Grove, voted
to make the bank, Incorporated as
State Bank, into a National
Bank. Word has been received
that the U. S. Comptroller of the Cur
rency has given his approval, to be
called the National Peoples Bank, of
Penns Grove.
The stockholders will be called up
on at the annual meeting of the stock
holders next Tuesday to vote their
approval.

Penalties For Delinquent Taxpayers

Tax collectors have requested that
attention be called to the penalties
that may be enforced upon delinquent
taxpayers under the present law.
They state that many people who re-
ceived tax bills last June have not
paid the second instalment Of tax, due
December 1, and in the case of real
estate owners interest and tax lien
recording charges are added to the
bills that will eventually have to be
paid by the owners Personal tax
bills neglected too long may result in
the debtor being jailed. That is the
penalty prescribed by statute.
