PORT OF ENTRY BILLS

No Action WHl Be Taken By This
State

The monthly bulletin issued by
the Delaware Highway Users Con-
ference calls attention to the fact
that when the General Assemblies
OF Pennsylvania and New Jersey
adjourned the pending port Of en-
try legislation before those bodies
died with them. This will make It
unnecessary to put into effect the
port Of entry bill which was passed
at the last session of the Delaware
Legislature.
An amendment to the Delaware
law. which was adopted by the Sen
ate and House, and made a part of
the act. specifies that it shall be-
come effective upon such date as
may be fixed by the Governor "but
not until such time as laws having
for their object the general purposes
embraced in this act and imposing a
tax on motor vehicles registered un-
der the laws Of this State shall have
become effective in at least two
neighboring states"
The port Of entry bill would have
designated certain places at which
trucks from other states could have
entered Delaware and they could
have been taxed on a basis Of mile

Duty At Once

to pay on their obligation in full at

the sooner work would begin on the
new hospital. The fact that many
have not as yet made their initial
payment on their obligation was al
so noted. Is it possible that many of
these people are willing to allow
themselves to be classed as slack

The attitude of indifference which
they have taken is hard to explain.

that these people are not aware of

TRAVELLERS WARNED
OF DISEASE AREA
InfantIle Paralysis Prevalent In
North Carolina And Virginia

Delawareans are advised not to
travel to North Carolina or southern
Virginia, where q serious outbreak
Of infantile paralysis is reported,
lest they contract the disease and
carry it back to this State, according
to a warning issued Tuesday by DR..
A. C. J0st, executive secretary Of the
State Board Of Health.
1T is better" he states, ito defer
the travel or the visit to a later date
for, though much progress has been.
made, control methods are not yet
so perfect that absolute reliance can
be placed on the safeguards erected
locally in those states. The disease
appears to involve especially the
northern portion of North Carolina
and that portion of Virginia south of
Richmond. Travel between these To-
calities and Delaware should be re-
dueed-partieularly insofar as chill
dfen are eOncerned-tO a minimum"
Il is possible, he explained, under
the communicable disease regula-
tiOns, to quarantine persons from
diseased localities for fourteen days
from the date they left those areas.
Infantile paralysis, which has been
reduced to a minimum in Delaware
tor the. last several years, despite
serious outbreaks in adjacent states,
is one Of the relatively few diseases
against which the State Board of
Health finds It necessary to continue
to employ quarantine as q prOtec-
tive measure; this includes restric-
ton of the movements of members
Of the family, and others who may
have been in contact with persons
having the disease, for fourteen days
after the date of exposure. by which
time the disease will have manifest
Itself If it has been contracted.
- while It Is possible to quaran-
line for fourteen days all persons
entering Delaware from the stricken
area" DR.. Jost concludes, 1T is hop
ID that it will not be necessary to
impose this restriction to travel or
q visits between families. But the
serious nature Of the outbreak
makes it imperative that all known
measures Of protection be used IN
,Fder that our children be safe
