The
Man Who
Knows
Whether the Remedy
You are taking for
Headaches, Neuralgia
or Rheumatism Pains
is SAFE is Your Doctor.
Ask Him
Don't Entrust Your
Own or Your Farnily's
Well Being to Unknown
Preparations

BEFORE you take any prepara-
ID ton you don't know all about,
for the relief of headaches; or the
pains of rheumatism, neuritis or
neuralgia, ask your doctor what he
thinks about it in comparison
with Genuine Bayer Aspirin.
We say this because, before the
discovery of Bayer Aspirin, most
so-called pain" remedies were adj
vised against by physicians as being
bad for the stomach; or, often, Tor
the heart. And the discovery of
Bayer Aspirin largely changed
medical practice.
Countless thousands of people
who have taken Bayer Aspirin year
in and out without ill effect, have
proved that the medical findings
about its safety were correct.
Remember this: Genuine Bayer
Aspirin is rated among the fastest
methods yet discovered for the relief
of headaches and all common pains
.. and safe for the average person
to take regularly.
You can get real Bayer Aspirin at
any drug store - simply by never
asking for it by the name aspirin
alone. but always saying BAYER
ASPIRIN when you buy.

damage, but hardwoods also suffer-
ed great damages, with hundreds of
white oaks, red oaks. and hickory
reduced to splintered trunks and
branches, or thrown fat, with roots
protruding from the ground. The
scrub pine, Mr.. Taber said, seemed
to suffer more breakage than lob
lOlly pine, even though the latter
has the heavier foliage.
Forestry Foreman John B. Quinn,
of the ECW Camp, located in the
Redden State Forest, is engaged in
a survey of the damage. in an effort
TO learn: ID the percentage of
growing stock damaged; (2) the ex-
tent of damage: (3) which particu-
lar specie suffered the most damage.
and (4) the kind of damage.
The enrolled men will be engaged
for some lime in clearing brush and
debris from the forest floor. This is
considered particularly important,
because of the danger of serious
fires resulting from an accumulation
of such litter. Mr. Taber concluded
that if a forest fire should start in
some of the damaged woodlands of
the county. the debris on the forest
floor might easily cause the COM

The public should know that when

they skid sidewise and nothing can

Century Club Notes

Public welfare was the subject OF
the day at the Milford New Century
Club on Monday with Mrs. William
Marshall, Jr., as the chairman. In
PRODUCING the guest speaker, Mrs.
Marshall enumerated the many
branches of public concern for the
betterment of community life, one
of them foremost in line was the
proper care for the health. thus
bringing about the consideration for
the afternoon-the new community
hospital. DR.. Charles A. Haney, the
! director of the campaign, and the
speaker for the afternoon said that
/ there was often no need felt for a
hospital until ones own family was
in need, and ones family was bles-
sed if an emergency need never
came. The ratio, DR.. Haney said, for
needed" visits to the hospital per
annum, is one out of every ten per-
sons. Proximity was another impOr-
tant factor in needs for a hospital,
as well as all the appliances of mod
ern science that are a part Of an up

new hospital, which will not only
be a sick home for Milford, but will
be large enough for all the patients
of lower Delaware for now and for
years to come. The plans call for 80
beds and IL bassinets. An eXhaus-
tive survey for the past nine years,
shows that 76 doctors have used the
two hospital-The Marshall and The
Emergency. DR.. Haney said the
amount of $150,00O had been set as |
the objective for the cost of the new |
hospital, and it would take the unit |
ed effort of $4,000 people to make ,
that sum a reality. Everyone must |
