SALE OF CHRISTMAS SEALS

The eighteenth annual sale of
tuberculosis Christmas Seals, which
is sponsored annually by the Mary
land Tuberculosis Association, began
on Thursday, November 18th.
Following the usual custom, sew
enty percent Of all the funds col
lected in this county will remain in
the county, to be spent in the slowly
but certainly winning combat against
tuberculosis.
OF all plaques that have afflicted
the world, none is more deadly than
tuberculosis, the Great White
Plague" Although other plaques,
ancient and modern, have swept a
country or community for a few
weeks, months or years, tuberculosis
has seized its victims for over
twenty-five hundred years. 1t fights
from ambush and strikes the rich.
the poor, the brilliant, the stupid,
the weak, the strong.
= tuberculosis is one of the most
costly diseases. The long period
of illness caused by tuberculosis is
costly in treatment, and in money
lost because of sickness.
In 1924 there were one hundred
thousand deaths from Tuberculosis
in the United States, and according
to the United States figures, about
nine hundred thousand cases. Tu-
berculosis cuts off two and one half
years of life from the complete ex-
pectation of every individual under
present. mortality conditions. II
each Individual were to add only
One Hundred Dollars to the COM
munity wealth per year, Tuber-
culosis would cost the community
Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars per
person. Among the one hundred
and ten million persons in the
United States, this loss is over
Twenty-seven and one-half Billion
Dollars
The money received from the sale
of Christmas Seals has been used in
combating this scourage for seven
teen years. The death rate has been
cut in half in the last twenty years,
which means saving, at the present
time, of approximately one hundred
and twenty thousand lives year.
On November 18th, over one
hundred and twenty-five thousand
direct mail appeals will be sent out
in the State of Maryland alone.
Twenty-three million seals have been
received by the State Association,
representing allotment for 1925.
Each County Branch Association will
make special effort to dispose of
its share. Seventy per cent OF the
proceeds collected in Cecil county
will rmain in this county to finance
tuberculosis and Public Health work.

OLD FLINT MILL GOES INTO
THE DISCARD

The old Flint building, formerly
operated by H. Clay Whiteford and
Co., is now being dismantled and the
machinery being sold. The property
itself was purchased some time ago
by the Susquehanna Power Co.
This business was founded in the
early eighties by the late DR.. Samuel
Ramsay, OF near Castleton, and his
nephews, Samuel j. and H. Clay
Whiteford. They bought thre
acres of land with water rights from
Carville and Samuel Hamilton and
built a large dam and mill about
$50 yards below the present milh
site, but the mill and dam were
washed away in June flood after it
had been in operation only a year
or two. AS the result of litigation
between DR.. Ramsay and the White
ford's the latter obtained control of
the business and in 1888 they bought
and put in operation the present
mill.
The Flint industry had its begin
ming near Castleton, about 1860.
John Moses, of Trenton, N. j.,
acquired considerable land and lease
hold with flint deposits and Field
spar thereon and with others opened
quarries and shipped the stone in the
rough to Trenton and other points
having potteries for making dishes
and glassware.
The Trenton Flint and Spar Co.
built a large mill here on Broad
Creek, short distance down stream
below the bridge at Whiteford's mill
and was continuously operated until
1907, when it also became unprofit-
able after the abandonment Of the
Tide Water Canal, Charlie Smith, of
Trenton, N. j., who with his son-in-
law, William Linchwarner, were the
first operators of the mill for sew
eral years under a contract price of
$14 per ton for the ground product.
At that time, Smith was hustler and
did thriving business, but like
many others, he could not stand
prosperity and became dissatisfied
and bought a mill property neaR
Glen Cove and converted it into
flint grinding mill. With Jacob Sup
pers, also of Trenton, he operated
the mill for several years but it
proved failure and went under.
These two, mills were the first of
the kind in Hartford county, except
possibly that of Husbands Mill at
the Old Forge on Deer Creek and
few years later one was operated for
a while at Stafford on Deer Creek.
Then the Klondike Mill and Scarbor,
were built, but only survived for a
few Improbable years. The one at
Conowingo in Cecil county, is still
in existence but mas changed proprie-,
tors many times, and has met with
Indifferent success due to the chang
ing conditions of the times, Times.

NEW WEAPON IN CORN
BOREB WORK

The effect of commercial ferti-
lizers as factor in the control of
the European corn borer will be
tested out at one or more or the
middlewestern experiment stations
according to recent announcement of
tentative plans.
One of the principal efforts to-
wards successful control of the
notwithstanding corn scourge is
that of developing understanding
corn varieties so that delayed plant
ings will escape the egg-layfng
moths whose eggs hatch out the
ravaging borers.
While we are quite sure from
practical observation that date OF
maturity of the corn crop may be
advanced as much as ten days to
two weeks, and while there has been
a considerable amount OF data col
lected at this station upon date OF
maturity of corn upon variously
fertilized plots, there has been MOTH
ing published along this line from
this station one prominent agrono-
mist states.
Fire, po1sons, parasites, birds, and
other agencies are already being
used or tested in controlling the
oorer. Quick maturity through early
varieties and use of the right ferti-
iizering materials offer other prac-
tical control weapons. AS another
investigator believes, 81 would say
that undoubtedly anything that will
hasten development and bring about
earlier maturity win be helpful In
iessening the injury done by this
dread insect"

MCCALL FERRY BRIDGE

A semi-official announcement of
the building of a great bridge across
the Susquehanna at Mccall Ferry,
has just been made. New York in
terests are said to be potent factors
in the enterprise, which means much
to Lancaster county, and 1.-The
lower end" especially. The building
of the bridge assures the develop
ment Of our system of State high
ways, as the road from Quarryville
to Mccall Ferry, another from
Gainesville east, and link from the
west of the river, to connect with
York county's system would all be
built in due time. This would re-
lieve congestion on the Lincoln
Highway, which now threatens the
removal Of the monument in Center
Square, Lancaster, and the minds of
many people who think the building
of another bridge at Columbia is
necessary. The proper distribution
of bridges would be one at ColIm-
bia, another at Mccall Ferry and the
third at Conowingo, and since it is
nearer to York. from Coatesville via
Quarryxille, by some five miles, than
it Is from Coatesville to York via
Lancaster and Columbia, the logtc
in the proposition is visible to the
naked eye. A local editor tell us
"the easy, natural and logical route
is that which is most direct" and he
might have added that which is least
congested.
Neither York OF Lancaster will be
asked to pay one cent nor to guar
antee the bonds Of this bridge, and a
toll rate of ten cents is suggested.
which is preferable to an additional
mill or two of county tax. IF you
don't cross the bridge you pay no toll,
but when the county tax is raised to
build bridges, paying toll begins,
and the end no man knoweth, al
though promoters pretend to. and
who ever heard OF promotion, in
which the promoters could not figure
the profits to FRAGILE, and fix the
dividual rate years in advance.
There will be no properties to-
condemn and likely no approaches to
dicker for at Mccall Ferry, and the
bridge will not cost from $4,000
900 to 100000 but about $780,
900. Preliminary surveys have been
in the making for some time and the
details are being worked out ~ an
army of competent engineers, as for
the finances that need not worry
prospective patrons, or tax payers OF
York and Lancaster, counties. holt
wood is rapidly becoming a town.
The great electrical power com
panies' plant and interests represent
upward OF $4,000, 08e; the banks
and mountains on either side of the
beautiful Susquehanna will some
day be covered with homes and
peopled with happy folks, a bridge
at Mccall Ferry is a logical Develop
Nment, and it will be built beyond the
question of doubt-George w.
