AID TO BRITAIN
 AT TOP LEVEL

(Continued from Page D
 You can't issue an order on one day and procure completed planes on the next, MT. Roosevelt said, indi- eating that he feels the United States must be permitted more time to develop its production facilities before intensifying the assistance fl is sending to Britain.
 In the meantime, said the Presi- dent, talk of new measures had nc real basis. He said that there has been nothing in the governments plans at present to indicate possi- bility of extending credits to Britain or a system under which American warshipS would provide convoy fol British shipments a portion of the way over the Atlantic.
 No Credit Allowed
 Britain, as a defaulter on her world war debt to the United States, wa: specifically excluded by the Johnson act from being granted credit in tht United States. Any extension oi credit to her would require con. gressional act to repeal or modify the Johnson law, and MT. Roosevelt al no time has given the slightest in- dication that he feels such a ster might be necessary.
 Any questions suggesting that he might revise his general 50-50 rule on assistnce to Britain is too gen. eral, MT. Roosevelt said, and will remain too general until some one can demonstrate how any in- creased aid might be made possible

machines manufactured in the United States planes. guns. muni- ti0ns and the like. The ratio, hoW- ever, may be increased or decreased slightly in specific instances, con- tingent upon production capacities of this country and the specific needs of Arnerica's own defense forces.
 MT. Roosevelt disclosed that he had offered the Vicny ambassador ship to Pershing, but, at the same time. refused to indicate what his future plans on this post are in view of Pershing's inability to accept the appointment.
 BuIIitt StiH Sticks
 In the meantime, said he, William c. BulIitt remains ambassador to France, although BuIlitt's resigna- ton lies unaccepted upon Mir. Ro0s- evelt's desk at Washington.
 MT. Roosevelt would not say even that he definitely plans to send an ambassador to Marshal Philipe Pe- tain's Vichy government now that Pershing has been unable to accept the post.
 The president said he offered the ambassado dorship to the aged com- mander of the American expedition aay force last week. The offer, he said, was made because Pershing and Petain were old acquaintances and friends, and he felt that they could understand each other and work successfully to common un- derstanding of mutual problems of this country and France.
 Indicating that Pershing person. ally had been anxious to accept the appointment, MT. Roosevelt said that the aged general had sought permis- sion from his doctors to go to Vichy. But, he said, the doctors won out in informing Pershing that it would be a very grave mistake from the view point of his own health to take on so arduous an assignment

ROTARY CLUB OF MILFORD
SPONSORS AMBULANCE

The new $500 ambulance, pur-
chased as result of drive spon-
sored by the Milford Rotary Club,
was formally pesented to the Milford
Memorial Hospital at a dinner meet
ing of the club Monday evening of
last week at the Hotel Windsor.
DR.. G. Layton Grier, president of
the hospital board Of trustees, re-
ceived the keys to the vehicle from
Twin G. Burton, chairman of the cam
paign committee. Milford Junior
Senior High School, Greenwood School
and Harrington School and many 9TH
er schools, and clubs as well as in
dividuals throughout Kent and Sussex
counties, assisted in the drive.
The new machine will replace the
ambulance in service for IL years and
which was presented to the hospital
by Pierre S. dupont, who also gener-
ously donated 500 toward the cost Of
the new vehicle.
DR.. Grier, in his acceptance address
told in a clear concise manner that
the hospital is mainly an institution
established by the people for the peo-
pie regardless of color or creed. DR..
Grier, deeply touched by the gift of
the ambulance, stated that the board
represented by himself as chairman,
deeply appreciated the fine effort put
forth by the Rotarians under the ca
pable direction of Chairman Irwin G..
Burton. DR.. Grier stated that it was
his belief that the Milford Memorial
Hospital situated as it is on the bor-
derline of Kent and Sussex counties,
with it's acknowledged fine facilities
for caring for the sick and it's COM
peteht staff, would in short time
become the medical center Of the two
great counties Of lower Delaware. DIR.
Grier also said it was his earnest wish
that all those who had so generously
donated to the ambulance fund might
see the splendid piece Of equipment
which will play such an important
part in giving succor to sick and in
jured, especially the school children
who with their donations had played
such an important part in raising the
fund.
Other speakers on the program
were G. D. Holzmueller, Chairman
Burton, President Frank Elton and
Charles E. Varney. Mr.. Holzmuel-
Ter also introduced Oscar Maloney, the
veteran ambulance driver at the con-
clusion Of the dinner.
Flashlight photos Of the new am
bulance and Rotarians were taken by
H. G. Tropea.

tight vaults. Records point only too
clearly to the alarming extent of this
dangerous menace.
Due to whatever cause, the total
halplessness of anyone imprisoned
within alright vaults is frightful to
contemplate. With the vault door
time lock, combination lock and pres
sure system set against him, the un-
fortunate victim may only count the
moments which spell disaster.
Through the creation of the vault
fan ventilator such as is being in
stalled in the Talbot Bank, the bank
er is now enabled to eliminate every
possible danger of suffocation, and
reduce to minimum the mental haz-
ard caused by Imprisonment within
a vault.
In case the electric current is cut
off, the ventilator can be operated to
give natural ventilation. 1t can al
so be operated to provide ample
means for the passage of nourishment
into the vault.

also having a similar device installed

in a closet from the chimney. At the
time it was discovered it had made

The Parksley Fire Company was
sent for but burned out a bearing

they spent their efforts in prevent
ing the spread of the fire to adjoining
buildings. The household furniture

of Education of Wicomico, Somerset
and Worcester Counties arranged for
Mr.. Ramsey, a noted world traveller,
to address the teachers of the re-
spective counties in the auditorium OF
the State College in Salisbury. In

teachers awaited themselves Of the
opportunity to hear a lecture on Euro
pean affairs from one who had lived
for many years in different Euro
pean countries. Mr.. Ramsey held his
audience in rapt attention as he
related his own experiences in Ger
many, Russia, Italy, and Turkey.
Mr.. Ramsey made it clear that ma

peace on their own terms only. For
this reason war will continue, for the
nations cannot reach an agreement
on terms. According to his picture,
the outlook for civilization in Europe
