OJTEEN ANNE CITIZEN
SUFFERS "SNOW STROKE

Victor P. Gillespie, of Sudlersville,
was probably the first victim ever
known in Queen Annes county of what
might commonly be termed "snow
stroke" when he was overcome while
working at Sudlersville Cemetery.
Mr.. Gillispie who is associated with
his father, G. Edward Gillespie, man.
ufacturer of grave vaults, of Sudlers-
vile, was engaged in preparing a
grave in Sudlersville Cemetery, when
he was overcome by the effect Of the
glare of the snow on his eyes.
The first effect Mr.. Gillespie felt
was that his arms were apparently
asleep and severe attack of giddl-
ness. Realizing that he was in no
condition to drive his truck back to
Sudlersville, a distance of about one
half mile, he attempted to walk to
his home. Although only a short
distance, he fell several times, but
finally reached his home, where DIR.
C. H. Metcalfe, of Sudlersville, was
called.
After several hours complete rest
in a darkened room he was consider
ably improved and on Monday was
able to be out.

ANOTHER FOXX PLAYER
SEEMS TO BE POSSIBLE

Sammy Dell Foxx, kid brother OF
Jimmy Foxx. Athletic slugger, will
go to Fort Myers, Fla, with the Ath-
letics on the training trip, Connie
Mack has announced. Sammy's tai
ents run to left-handed twirling and
for the past two years he has been
playing for Sudlersville and various
semi-pro clubs on the peninsula. Late
last summer he played considerable
ball with the Lancaster, (Pa.) Ros-
es in an independent league.
With Jimmy slated to don the mask
and shin guards and go behind the
bat for the AS, it would be great if
Sammy could make the grade and
form a brother battery.

ELKTON WILL ERECT
HANDSOME SCHOOL HOUSE

Elkton is to have $150,000 high
school is present plans that were
formulated at a special meeting OF
the County Commissioners and the
Cecil County School Board, material
ize. The meeting was an all-day ses-
sion Thursday at school board offices.
After much elaboration it was fin
ally agreed upon by those present
that an application be made by the
commissioners for the amount of
$3.50, 900 the entire sum to be used in
the construction of a sorely needed
institution of the modern type. 1t
is proposed to have a large and ade-
quate auditorium and an athletic field
that will be sufficient for any need.
These are two of the now lacking
facilities which are well needed.
County Commissioners appropriated
$4,000 for new site, preliminary
plans and specifications. This amount
which has been set aside since that
time, will now be used to purchase the
land, probably a fourteen acre tract
on Gilpin Manor in suburban Elkton,
said to cost less than $4,000. The
tract belonging to the railroad along
with adjoining properties near the
Elementary school would cost the
commissioners in the neighborhood of
$4,000, which they claim is too much
for the property. An architect will
be employed to draw plans that must
meet with the approval of the Gov
eminent before they will grant loan.

SUSSEX COUNTY PEOPLE
OPPOSE FUNDS DIVERSION

A delegation of representative cit
liens of Sussex county told a joint
meeting of Sussex county members
(both Democratic and Republican,
that they oppose transfer of funds
from the Highway Department to
the General Fund as suggested by
Governor Buck. The meeting was
held in the Senate Committee room
last week. Charles M. Cullen, men,
Der of the State Highway Commission
and Engineer Kitchens of Sussex
county were the leading spokesman
before the members of the Legisla-
ture. AS result of the meeting a
very strong opposition to the Cover
nor's plan to balance the budget has
been created. The opponents of the
transfer point out the need of increas-
ed improved highways in Sussex coun-
ty. They say that the program in
New Castle county is about completed;
but that in Kent and Sussex counties
much yet remains to be done. They
also say that should the $500, 900
be diverted to the General Fund the
Federal Government will not give
100000 to the State of Delaware for
road building purposes. Another ar
gument advanced by the opponents
of the Governors plan was the ne
cessity for unemployment in Sussex
county. The claim is made that
should road work stop direct relief
must be provided.

 Information M

The state department of health announced today that 1t has conn piled for distribution among Con- necticut physicians q new publi- cation which will be known as the "Physician's Handbook 'and which contains a wide variety of information including state health statutes which apply to physicianR. a list of the services provided for physicians by the department, types of laborataRy tests available in the diagnosis of disease. and other important data. The dee partmcnt also reported that there has been hearty response to this new addition to It's printed mnte- rials on health subjects, and that 1t has been generally described as 'very valuable"
 It has been felt for some time that a handbook of this nature in practical size (4 inches 6 3-4 inohes) for. ready reference would be of assistance to each physician in the state. since he would have at hand all of tho state statutes and sanitary code regulations relat- ing to reporting of diseases. births and deaths, and to the control of communicable diseases In one vol- tune, easily carried in the pocket.
 The new book briefly diSests the duties of physicians as required by law and the services rendered to physicians by the State Depart ment of Health. It lists the special forms available to physicians to furnish special information. It then amplifies this informat tion by giving the statutes and Sanitary Code regulations in full under the following headings: Reporting Dis- eases: Control of Communicable Diseases; Reporting Births; Re- porting Deaths; Duties Relating to Children; Information about De- tention of Persons; Information about Hospitals; Professional Re- quiremcnts; and Services of the State Department of Health 10 Physicians.
 In addition the "Physician's Handbook" contains a list and description of the various biologics (sera, antitoxins, etc) furnished to health officers for use of physic- fans, the laboratory examinations and tests which are made by the department and available educa- tional material and assistance, in- cluding reports, leaflets and refer cnce material public speakers on health subjects, weekly broad- casts and em otion picture films.

POLITICAL FEUD
 WITH GOVERNOR

Boston. Sept. 14-(UP)-A po- litical feud flared today between Massachusetts two outstanding democratic executives - Governor James M. Curley and Mayor Fred erick w. Mansfield of Boston.
 Mansfield declared open war ol, the governor last night, charging Curley had personally tried twice to persuade him to abandon an in- vestigation of the activities of Ed mund l.. Dolan as city treasurer under the Curley regime as mayor of Boston.
 The break between the state and city executives was precipitated by a controversy between Mansfield and the Boston Finance Commits sion and marked the first time that Boston's present mayor has direct ed criticism at Boston's former mayor who was elected governor last fall.
 Dolan, whose transactions as city treasurer were investigated several months ago, recently was appoint ed by Curley to a commission to investigate Boston's financial struc. ture under the Mansfield regime. Mansfield called Dolan's appoint ment "an insult to the people of Boston,"

 The business meeting, which be- gins at 1900 o'clock following an adjournment for lunch, is expected to be featured by several import ant discussions, among them the question of the minimum 40 cent haircut and 20 cent shave recom- mended recently by temporary fact-flnding commission.
 Dissension between the commis. sion. and the state board of barber examiners will probably result in long drawn out and heated ses- sion, according, to local members of the association. The commission recently recommended the closing of about 316 shops reported as un- sanitary. It's report was rejected by the state board of examiners. after conference with Governor Cross.
