BODY ENSEMBLE
j OF THE CHEVROLET
IS THE SAFEST

Chervrolet's body ensemble is the
safest the industry offers today, is
the opinion of Safety Engineering
Magazine, recognized national author
ity in the accident prevention field.
"The safest car of the 1889 line, in
our opinion, is the Chevrolet" says
the opening sentence of an article in
which the entire industry's 1889 mod
els are analysed from the safety stand
point. The various manufacturers Of
ferings are scored on a chart accom-
panying the article, each being judged
on IS different points having to do
with safety. Chevrolet was given IL
Els and two G's, the highest rating not
only in its price class but among all
ears built today.
The survey on which the report was
based included such body features as
drivers field of vision, rear vision,
rear and front tenders, radiator or
nament, door lock security, robe rack,
padding on rear on front seat, rash
knobs, protruding handles and hard
ware, accessibility of mandrake lever,
and design of dome light. 1t did not
deal with chassis features, and hence
took no cognizance of such mechanical
advances as vacuum gearshift with
steering column control, new type
knee action, shockpfoof steering, and
hydraulic brakes, all of which Chevro-
let is featuring in its current models.

a high grade cod liver oil is now a.
valuable for distribution in the Stock
ton territory, either free of charge OF
at cost of 25c pint. Northern Wor-
cester County has had cod liver oil
since November. The Pocomoke and
Snow Hill areas have not as yet any
provision for cod liver oil.
Greatly needed are empty bottles
of about pint capacity for distrib-
uting the cod liver oil. Persons hav-
ing any are asked to clean them and
leave them at the nearest Health De-
partment office. Appropriate labels
for the bottles have been provided by
the generosity Of the Worcester Demo-
crat and the Eastern Shore Times.
The school Dentist has come and
gone for this year-his work finished.
All the white schools in the County
were covered, and children in the first
three grades who had parental per-
mission received dental care. One
thousand, eight hundred and twenty
one filling and extractions were done
at a cost of Al cents an operation.
This is cheap price for good dental
work and the education, that accom-
panied it.

CENTRAL HEATING
GIVES STUDEBAKER
DRIVERSADVANTAGE

Winter motoring without overcoats
has become a new vogue among Stude-
baker owners, according to J. Scott
Porter, local distributor of Studebaker
cars. This is largely due to the new
Studebaker "climatizer," which made
it's appearance last autumn and
brought central heating" to automo-
biles.
cit has always seemed pretty alb
surd to me to have to bundle up in
heavy clothes when you're going into
an enclosed room that is not only
protected against the weather, but can
be heated to any temperature desir-
ed" said Mr.. Porter. eve don't
wear our overcoats in the house and
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1939-03-17

I don't see why we should in our au-
tomobiles. Overcoats take up room,
bunch you forward towards the steer
ing wheel and are generally uncom-
Portable. And you don't need them.
Modern body building plus effic-
lent insulation has made our cars as
weather proof as our modern houses.
If we keep all windows but one closed
and the one only slightly open and
turn on the 'climatizer' we can be
exactly as comfortable as we are at
home. So we don't need overcoats-
and you'll find plenty of owners Of
1889 Studebakers driving all winter
long without them"
The "climatizer" is revolutionary in
automobile heaters. It is a built-in
compartments. No protuberances are
unit and all Studebakers are built
with provision for its installation.
The unit is located beneath the
front seat of the car. It draws fresh
air from the outside of the car, fill
tiers and cleans it, then heats it and
it evenly to front and back
seen to annoy the driver or passenger.
The "climatizers" also have the added
of being able to furnish
fresh, clean, cool air to motorists dur
ing the summer months. In addition
it defrosts and defogs the windshield
and all other windows of the car,
greatly adding to the safety of winter
driving.

HEALTH RECORD
OF THE COUNTY
BETTER in 1888

The vital statistics for 1888 re-
Gently released by the State Health
Department contains some interesting
figures for Worcester County. With
certain exceptions, the 1888 health
record was better than that of 1887.
The number of births increased
from 372 in 1887 to 4O1 last year.
Two hundred and thirty-three of last
years births were white and 1913 col
ored. There were 80 more white babies
born in 1888 than 1897 and 10 fewer
colored babies, or total increase over
1887 in live births per one thousand
population from 17.2 to 1876.
Three hundred and thirty-two per-
SONS died in the County last year COM
pared with 800 of the previous year,
that is, 81 fewer deaths. Expressed
as a rate, the number of deaths per
one thousand population, the decrease
in 1888 over 1887 was from 1863 to
1872. One hundred and ninety of the
1888 deaths were white and 139 color
ed. AS might be expected from these
figures the leading cause of death
showed either a decline or no increase
with the exceptions of accidents and
cancer, which show a slight increase.
Among conditions charged with pub
lie health significance because the
deaths are largely preventable, there
is encouragement in noting that tuber-
culosis deaths decreased from 81 in
1897 to % last year. Only 1 death
is charged to syphilis in 1888 compar-
ed with 10 in 1887. Maternal deaths
were much lower in 1938-only were
recorded in contrast to the previous
year. The main blot in the picture is
our infant mortality. Infant deaths
increased from 43 in 1887 to 81 in
1888. Of these 81 deaths, 10 were
white and 80 colored. The infant
mortality rate for Worcester County
unfortunately is the highest rate for
any county in the State. Deaths from
communicable diseases such as typhoid
fever, diphtheria, whooping cough,
ETC., showed a slight increase in 1888
over 1887.
The first case of diphtheria for
1889 was reported during February.
This makes the third case this Win
ter. Through the prompt admins
tration of antitoxin the victim, three
year old white child living in the
southern part of the County, is re-
covering from very serious illness.
Not only was the disease a threat to
the child's life, but the necessary quar-
antine regulations resulted in consid-
cradle Inconvenience to the family.
Toxoid may be an old story to many
people, but it needs frequent repeat
ing. All parents should have their
children six months of age and older
immunized against diphtheria without
delay.
The provision of cod liver oil for
children in needy families in Worces-
ter County is one step closer to reali-
cation. The Public Health Council
of Stockton is making that an immed-
late concern and has been assisted
very greatly by the local colored COM
munity. Through the Colored School
and Lodge, $500 was raised which
will shortly be augmented by the
white community. The result is that

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Opera.
tions in the steel industry for the
current week will advance 8 of

highest since the week of May 10,
1887, when output was 9l2 per cent,
the American Iron & Steel Insti-
tute estimated today. This COM
pared with 902 per cent last week.
A month ago operations were at
the rate Of 87.5 per cent of capacity,
while year ago they were 56.S per
cent.
CLEVELAND, Oct. 30 (P).-First-
quarter steel prices were still in
definite, but this had little retard-
ing influence on bookings for the
next quarter, the magazine Steel
said today.
First quarter bookings continue
to increase, despite absence of def
mite prices" said the weekly re-
view of the steel industry. Buyers
are more confident they will escape
large price advances, but are anx-
lous to be assured of deliveries"
Meanwhile, steel making last
week rose l point to 80 peg cent,
highest capacity since August, 1929,
with the largest weekly tonnage in
history.
Markets showed a more orderly
appearance. There were still de-
mands for shipments, but more
urgent needs are being met by
heavier deliveries and new orders
are largely for next quarter de.
livery. Little additional business
was being accepted in bars, plates,
wire and fat-rolled steel for ship
ment by December 81
While ingot production tended to
level OF as more plants reached
capacity, tln-plate production held
at 95 per cent-apparently a peak
since additional capacity was not
Immediately available.
Steel's scrap composite declined
II cents to s2063, following a SOFT
ening of the scrap market, but
prices were resisting further de-
cline in number of districts, the
