family, the best is none too good.
Every day life-saving miracles are
being performed in the Milford
Emergency Hospital. but we should
also remember that frequently lives
are lost and suffering is prolonged
because the hospital is so Out-Of-
date and so OveFerOwded.
The task of fully educating the
public concerning these matters
will be undertaken through the
newspapers which have all gener-
Ously promised their cooperation.
through the publication of folders
and pamphlets and through spoken
words.
We have established a Speakers
Committee at Campaign Headquar-
ters and are preparing to send
speakers to tell the story and to
answer questions to any meeting
that will care to listen. Those de-
string to procure the services of a
speaker may arrange to secure one
by calling Milford 1O9.
The third department of our cam
paign work will be the OTganiza-
tion 1t should be borne in mind
that DR.. Layton Grier has generous
ly offered to pay all the expenses
for the campaign. so that every
cent that is contributed will go di-
rectly to the cause.
In order to make the appeal most
economically, it is necessary that a
large number of citizens be enlisted
to assist the campaign committee
We are building an organization of
some three hundred volunteers.
Committees will be chosen from
each community and the work will
be so divided that each of the three
hundred workers will be called
upon to do some small task in con-
nectiOn with the campaign, though
none will be called upon to bear
very heavy burdens or responsible
tiles.
Similar campaigns in other parts
of the country are continually being
prosecuted. On the ba- /
sis of the experience of other COM |
we may anticipate be- |
tween four and five thousand con-
tributiOns. which will vary in |
amount from those of a few dollars |
to gifts running into the thousands |
of dollars.
The members of the initial COM |
niittee are: Frank Jones, of George
town; Wiley J. Thought. Of Laurel:
DR.. w. T. Chipman, OF Harrington:
DR.. X. James Hooker. Of MillVille:

be easy and through the united eff
forts Of a large number of people
the needed new hospital will be
made possible.
The second department of the
campaign work will be educational
It is necessary that the public be
fully informed concerning the work
and the needs that exist. It is sur
prising to find how few people real
ize what is being done with the fa-
cilities that exist in the Emergency
Hospital.
There is no reason why, because
people live in a rural section of the
country, they should not have the
advantage of all that medical sci
ence and skill can give them, when
life hangs in the balance, paTticu-
larly when these advantages may be
made available without strain. The
present hospital is utterly unable to
cope with the hospital community 1t
has to serve.
Because people live in the country
rather than in the city is no reason
why they should have to depend
upon the really crude facilities of
the present institution when with>a
little united effort and a compare
lively small sacrifice the best can be
had. Milford Emergency Hcspital
serves a population of from twenty
five to fifty thousand people. 1t
would be difficult to find a city in the
country having a similar population
which could not boast of a fine,
modern hospital plant.
A few people have suggested that
the answer may lie in the reOpening
of the Marshall Hospital. but those
familiar with the problem know that
it would be no answer at all. In the
first place, il would be too expensive
to maintain two plants and in the
second place, neOither plant have
facilities that are in any way mod
ern. The building which formerly
housed the Marshall Hospital is Ov-
er a hundred years old; the old res
idence that houses the Emergency
Hospital is also antiquated.
DR.. S. J. WaterwOrth, of Pennsyl-
vania, one of the outstanding hOspi-
tai authorities of the country, once
made the statement which carries
more than a mOlecule of truth
hospitals should be burned down
and rebuilt every generation" In
other words. medical science is
growing so fast that few hospitals
built a generation ago can Offer the
best that is available from a scien-
life standpoint.

pital may be good enough" for the /

part of the National Industrial Re-
covery Act, other portions of the
law were not challenged in the suit
brought by the Panama Refining
Company and other concerns Oper-
ating in the flush oil field.
Test Of Codes FOFeseen
Consequently. the codes affecting
almost every industry in the United
States stand for a later test, al
though some of the Chief Justices
language may not be read with
pleasure by Administration and NRA
officials.
The oil code was not passed upon
Monday because of a curious over
sight on the part of the administra-
tiOn. The section penalizing those
who violated its terms was left out
inadvertently and not inserted until
September, last year. Chief Justice
Hughes said that consequently the
Government could not prosecute
those charged with violations of its
terms.
ITO repeat" said the chief justice
Monday near the end of his lengthy
opinion, I'VE are concerned with the
question of the delegation of legis-
lative power.
"If the citizen be punished for the
crime of violating a legislative or
der of an executive officer, or of a
board or commission. due process OF
law requires that it shall appear
that the order is within the author
ity of the officer. board. or commits
sion. and. if that authority depends
on determinations of fact, those de-
Examinations must be shown"
Richberg's statement said that mo
one is justified in prophesying, on
the basis of this opinion. the action
of the Supreme Court in any case
involving the question of the valid
ity of a particular code of fair COM
petition, or any provision Of such a
code"
He said that those who believe
in the cOnstitutiOnality of the ma
tiOnal industrial recovery act as
whole and in the general validity of
the administration of the act and of
codes approved hereunder. have no
reason to feel disturbed by this Opin-
ion"
The NRA board viewed the Su-
preme Court decision as setting up
a principle that Congress should
state its desires more specifically in
certain legislation.

RED CROSS CHAIRMAN
CAUTIONS SKATERS
[C0ntinaed rrom FIrr raae1

lCOntinhed from Fkr&s PAQe1
! Manual of the United States Army,
which calls three inches Of ice safe
for the passage of infantry, four in
ches for the passage of, cavalry, and
six inches or more for the passage
of artillery.
In many lake districts the ice
becomes a winter theroughfare as
soon as the lake gets six inches Of
ice or more and many miles Of trav-
ell are saved thereby. Logs which
have been cut are hauled to mill. on
b0bsled, and all sorts Of farm pro-
ducts are drawn to market over the
hard smooth level surface which ma
ture has built for the farmers to
use. The danger time may be in the
early winter or toward spring, when
rains or thaws have weakened the
ice, and pitted it with holes, UNDER
meath.
Many teams of horses have brok-
en- through and taken human beings
with them and nowadays many auto
loads of people have been submerg-
ed when the icy road broke under
them. It is a bit hazardous 10 mo-
tor over ice with all doors shut
tight, for the car carries its occu-
pants down like rats in a wire trap.
A few more miles of travel may
mean a few more years of life. In
taking short cuts, think what warm
days may nave done to the icy high
way.
For ice rescue work, hang up the
life buOys and lines from the sum-
mer swimming place, if water is
deep.
For ice cutting a few coils Of
rope at strategic points may prove
handy in case workers or horses
get into the water.
For self rescue, keeps your hands
and fOrearms on the rim, and do not
get your feet under the ice in front
of you. Kick them up to the sur
face and try to roll out. Letting
mittens freeze to the ice has held
up many an ice accident victim until
help arrived.
THE fire department, with its mo-
torized trucks and handy ladders of
various types is frequently success
full in reseuing victims of ice acci-
dents, even after they have gone to
the bottom. Fire trucks carry first
aid kits, blankets and hot pads or
hot water bottles and the firemen
usually understand resuscitation
and care of the victims of submer-
sion.
"In conclusion the Red Cross First
Aid and Life Saving Service says:
Don't have ice accidents. Take your
precaution in advance. But if there
is an accident, send for the fire de-
partment at once. Through Red
Cross training they are becoming
the emergency rescue reliance of
most American communities.
Milford chronicle., 1935-01-11

Shipments of produce were very
light, only $500 carloads Christmas
week and they continued light the
first week of January, owing to bad
weather and road conditions in pro-
ducing sections and the usual holi-
day interruptions and dullness in
wholesale lines. Potato and apple
movement continues rather light.
Cabbage, carrots, celery, lettuce and
citrus fruits decreased sharply. Not
many caTlots of tender, winter veg
etables are maving from Florida but
Cuban and Mexican imports and
fairly large supplies from the South
west tend to fill the gap in such
products as tomatoes and lettuce.
Florida supplies in some lines are
disappearing as holdings on tracks
are cleared out and an increasing
proportion of winter vegetable re-
ceipts are from California, Arizona,
Texas and Louisiana. Sweet potatoes
are in fairly good supply for the
season.
Most city markets we're dull and
quiet in late December and the first
week of this month without sharp
price changes except for some SOU
thern vegetables. Potatoes are in
rather light carlOt supply and sell
ling at steady prices. Apple markets
are quiet without much change.
Prices of oranges and grapefruit
have tended mainly upward the first
few weeks. Onion market issabout
steady. Northern cabbage has re-
covered most of the recent price set
backs. The Christmas tree market
was unsatisfactory to all concerned
and there were many carloads left
over, at market centers.
Sweet potatoes continue to show
slightly upward price trend in cas-
tern markets. Jersey stock sells
mostly at $1.35 to $3.50 a bushel, av-
eraging about 10c higher than in
late December. Red yams from
North Carolina brought about 81 a
bushel in New York. Receipts of |
sweet potatoes from Maryland and |
Delaware continue rather light and 7
best lots bring $1.35 in eastern mar
kets.

Produce Market Notes

During colder weather better de-
mand developed for cabbage and
the market was firm for stock Of
good quality. Eastern markets sold
bulk stock at $12 to SIS per ton.
Comfy shipping points in western
New York and Wisconsin sold Dam
ish type cabbage in bulk at 81 to 80.
Prices were about steady in Texas
cabbage shipping sections at $50.
Growers in western New York are
receiving mostly $5 per ton, sOme-
times Sc. Remaining holdings are
still quite heavy. About 10000 tons
of New York cabbage have been
taken for relief purposes.
Demand for carrots is light in
producing sections. Occasional sales
are reported at 50 bulk per ton in
western New York. City markets are
about steady at SOC to 75c for good
stock but some local lots sell low
er. Parsnips sell close to the price
of carrots in eastern markets.
Demand for eastern celery was
light during the holidays. Storage
holdings in western New York in
late December were only $4,000
crates compared with 115,0OO
year ago. Probably much of the eel
cry remaining is of comparatively
poor market quality and a great
deal of it will be disposed of in the
smaller local markets.
The market for eastern apples
has been duh so far this month,
showing as yet little recovery since
the holiday season. Receipts have
been comparatively light but ample
for the limited demand. Prices have
shown practically no change. Apples
can be bought anywhere from 75c to
$3.50 a bushel in central markets
but a range of SIPS to $1.75 covers
most sales of good grades and va
rieties. Many New York Greeninss
are selling in New York at SLIPS to
$1.65. Slow demand prevailed in
western New York producing sec !
tiOns where Greetings sell at $1.2O !
to SIPS but good Baldwins bring !
$3.50, supplies of this variety being |
light Many. of the Baldwins now in
storage are being held for prices
above present levels.

LOCAL HOSPITAL
TOO SMALLFOR
PRESENT NEEDS

beds are constantly crowded to the
limit
The survey which analyses this
hospitals assets and needs and urges
the construction Of a greater and
more modern hospital for Greaer
Milford, points out certain new fac
tors" which make for continually
growing disqualification, as follows:
l. The increased use Of the au-
tOmObile is bringing a disprOpOr-
tionately larger increase in acci-
dents. Accidents incurred at high
speeds, which are now common. fire.
quently involve serious fractures,
requiring long disqualification.
g. There is an increasing tenden-
cy to hOspitalize cases which in the
past have been treated at home.
Much OF the old fear of hospitals
has been overcome as people recOg-
nize that chances of speedy recovery
are greatly improved when the case
Is hOspitalized. In the early days
Of hospital experience, the hospital
was considered as a refuge for the

day it is recognized that under con-
ditions of serious illness the needy
patient i'm a hospital has a better
chance than the wealthy person at
home. Consequently hospitals are
being increasingly used by those of
means.
3. The development of number
OF new surgeons with marked abili
ty is resulting In an increased de-
mand for hospital facilities to care
for their cases.
4. In the event that improved ia
cilities were made available, an in
creased demand. for services would
come through physicians in the out
lying districts.
5. The improvement of road con-
ditions and the possession Of very
fine ambulance facilities are steadily
shortening the distance between
Milford and other communities and
increasing the area served.
The Milford Emergency Hospital
has thirty-seven beds for patients.
They are filled much of the time, al
though, with a hospital this size. at
least half Of the beds should be av-
ailable for real emergencies.
The number Of patients, day by
