BLOSSOM Time
EXPECTED TO
DRAW CROWDS

Blossom time this year is expected
to attract more motorists than ever
to the highways and byways of New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and
Delaware, according to the Keystone
Automobile Club, which bases its o.
pinion on the unprecedented volume
of calls for information on blossom
dates"
Washington's famous japanese
cherry blossoms are now drawing
their quota of admirers. but Key
stones touring advisers emphasize
that blossoms know no boundaries and
that beautiful and inspiring sights
may be found close at hand, in adj
joining counties, or relished mile af-
ter mile on long trips to sections fam
ed for their orchards.
Motorists who wish to combine a
spring tour with blossom sightseeing
will find a trip into Virginia this

ton:
The office of the Fire Recorder sub
mits for your records and information
the following report n Fire Losses
in Worcester County for the year Of

During the year of 1888, the 6 COM
panies of this County and members Of
this association, reported 1S9 alarms
of which total 100 were actual fires.

used during the above mentioned per-
iod.
In conclusion, the tabulation OF your
fire reports definitely show that con-
tinued inspection of flues should be
made by the public and further inspec-
tons by the various companies OF
fire hazards should be made whenever
possible. The alertness and efficiency
of the fire companies throughout the
county has greatly reduced the fire
losses as shown by reports of previous
years. Carelessness still remains a
serious factor and educating the gen.
eral public on this item cannot be
overstressed. It is recommended that
this consolidated report of fires IN
Worcester County be used during
everyday fire prevention programs in
order to ever eep the public conscious
of fire hazards and prevention.

SKI FANS ARE
 SHOWING up IN
 SPLENDID WAY
Organizing of p Patrol by Club Is Commended
 Snow Conditions
Contributed

It has been interesting to observe the rapid advance in skill made by the majority of Juneau skiers during the last few weks. The younger boys. especially. have become very agile on the hickory slats. many of them now being able to hold their own with most of the men. It is gratifying. too, to see how many girls have turned out for the sport, although they might do well to speed up their skiing bit and not do so many slow Stem-turns.
 The ski club has done fine piece of work in organizing the Juneau ski patrol, with Ernie Parsons in charge, along the lines of the much larger ski patrols that have been formed at ski resorts in the States. All members of the patrol are better than average skiers, and either have been or are being trained in first aid.
 In the event of war, if the Army decides to have battalions of skis as do European armies. the ski patrols will probably constitute the nucleus of such battalions.
 Ski Racing
 AS regards ski racing, there seems to be rather wide gap between the three or four best Juneau skiers and the rest of the field. The only cure for this will be many races, and the Juneau Ski Club is doing all 1t can to promote competition each weekend this winter.
 If four man ski teams were drawn up now for the various forms of competition, the Juneau teams would read as follows: For down. hill and slalom, Ralph Moreau, Fred Ball, Bill Hixon and Chuck Notar treserve, Jay Wiliams). For cross country, Ralph Moreau, Sven Saren Bill Hixon and the tall (name un- known) Scandinavian who appears on the ski area and telemarks on

hard snow.
 For jumping, Sven Saren. Ralph Moreau, Martin, Ryan. There are a number of candidates for fourth place. These teams are just as they would be today. A week from now the men might be quite different group.
 Snow Excellent
 Snow conditions remain excellent and all prospects for the big down hill race in February on the new ski trail will do well to make a habit of running that trail at least once from the very top every time they go skiing
 It would be a fine thing if the Juneau Ski Club could see it's way to sending it's best skier to the An chorage Fur Rendezvous in Feb ruary. It looks as thought the club might have one of the very few Alaskan skicrs who can make a good showing in all four branches of competition There are many skiers who can do well in some one form of competition, but it is all too rare to find all-around good skiers. In- cidentaly, the main reason why Dartmouth College, Hanover, N. H.) always beats all the other U. S. skiers so easily in competition is because practically every man on

I1aida Drops Out of First Half in Loss 10 New Henning Five

in Juneaus little basketball world. Fifst the High School beat the Miners 30-28, and second, the Haida club was dumped out of bid for first half crown by losing to a re- inforced Henning Five taking their first league victory of the season.
 The High School team played the Miners last night when the krause fouads ranks were found thinned out with illness.
 Tn the opener, the High School lads took advantage of an appar- ently too confident Miner team and ran up sizeable lead in the first half. IT to 10, and really had no Miner competition until the third quarter.
 The third quarter found Miners betting five field goals and one free toss to take slight edge after closing the gap, but. coming back in the fourth period, with seven minutes to go, the High School took the lead again at 23-22.
 Here's Goings
 From there on in, the tally sheet ran as follows: Elmer Lindstrom dropped one for Miners, Jones scored for High School, Powers scored for High School, Elmer Lindstrom swished long looper' Jones scored again and Bud Lind strom shared two points as the gun went off, leaving Miners on the short end of a 3O-28 score.
 The Haida- fleming game was tough medicine for the Coast Guard boys who appeared to lack their usual driving fire last night. With out that fire they seemed a defeat- cd team before the game started and their occasional bursts of enthusi- asm weren't enough to overcome the reinforced attack of much strong CT Henning Five
 Henningss have acquired new tal- ent in Pete Gilmore from Ketchi- Ian. a rangy smooth -limbed ball hawk who made Kayhi letters and then played two years for Santa Clara. Gilmore throws hook pass that is surprisingly accurate, but is too hot to handle for most of his teammates, unused to that sort of ball playing.
 Gilmore High
 Gilmore was high man last night with g points, nothing unusual in the way of a score, but in compari- son with other marks on the team, it shows more of team working as a unit and with fire.
 The third quarter was the doom period for the Haida last night. They had led all the way, but in the third frame were able to make but one basket while Jennings made six field goals and free toss.
 With six minutes to go. the Haida took the lead as Waldron dropped an outfield shot, but from there in, Chapados, Turner, and Gilmore turned on Henning heat and put the game away.
 And perhaps one more interesting thing. Not single player was sent to the sidelines by the personal fouls route last night, and only one man had three fouls called on him.

Activities OF tuberculosis Associa-
ton Help Lower I. B. Death Rate

came 5,542 persons thinking that they
might have tuberculosis. Of this num-
Der, 572 were found to have active
disease, 1855 were found to have in
active tuberculosis and are being kept
under observation, and 424 patients
had suspicious signs and will also be
carefully watched. The rest were
found to be negative.
The Miracle House, tuberculosis
preventorium for white children who
are malnourished and contacts Of
active disease, is operated each sum-
mer. The preventorium is located on
the shore Of Chesapeake Bay in Tai
bot County. Last season the Miracle
House was open for 62 days and 131
children were treated. The average
gain in weight per child was nearly
g pounds. The children who attend
are between the ages Of and IL. All
who attended during the past season
responded we'll and returned to school
in good health.
Other important activities Of the
Maryland tuberculosis Association
are: health education, medical re-
search, tuberculin testing and X-ray-
ing, a clinic for instructing Negro
doctors in tuberculosis diagnosis and
the purchase Of necessary diagnostic
equipment.
tuberculosis is one of the states
leading health problems. Last year
1,214 persons died of it and several
times that number were sick with it.
The present tuberculosis death rate in
Maryland is 6S.3 per 100000 popula-
ton, a substantial decline from the
1875 per 100000 of the previous year,
but still too high when compared with
the figures of other states. These fig
ures can be reduced further, and
tuberculosis can be brought under con-
troll, an achievement that will prevent
much illness and death among the
people and save thousands Of dollars
for the state.
Christmas Seals are sold during the
month of December by the Maryland
tuberculosis Association and it's af-
filiated county branches. The people
of Maryland can insure the continue
ton Of the anti-tuberculosis work by
buying and using these Seals.
