week to honor George E. Cleary and
Daniel w. Streeper, Philadelphia win
ners of the Pasteur medals awarded
annually by the Milk Industry Foun-
dation for distinguished and heroic
service.
Rescuing a hold-up victim at $40
a. m. by throwing the thug to the
ground won the gold medal for Mr..
Cleary, driver-salesman for Supplee-
Wills Jones in Philadelphia. The
bandit escaped in a hail of milk
bottles but was later caught and con-
fessed to 16 armed robberies. A few
weeks later, Mr.. Cleary again became
a hero when he saved an unconscious
man from burning building and
suffered severe burns himself.
When he heard the screams of a
child swimming in a pond near his
route, Mr.. Streeper, route forman for
Turner Westcott in Philadelphia,
jumped fully clothed to the rescue,
administered artificial respiration,
saved the boy, and became eligible
for his bronze Pasteur medal.

STATE OF MD.
BUYS CLAIBORNE
FERRY RIGHTS

The long drawn out discussion of
the purchase of the Claiborne Ferry
Company by the state, has finally
crystallized into an actual buy; the
State Roads Commission will prob
ably come into full possession before
the end of the year.
The public, of course, will be most
interested in the changes which will
affect travel and they are probably
these: Reduction of passenger rates
by one-half reduction Of automobiles
and truck rates by one-third.
The price paid is quoted at $1,023,-
coo, and this includes certain supplies
on hand by the Company.
There has been some uncertainty
as to just what would be involved in
the States responsibility for the re-
bates, to be assumed under terms Of
the bargain.
Last June, after the Public Service
Commission had ordered the ferry
company to institute lower rates, the
company appealed the order to Cir
cult Court No. 2, Baltimore City,
where the case has been taken under
advisement by Judge Joseph N. Ul-
man.
Judge Ulman ordered the ferry to
issue rebate slips with every fare,
pending the decision to uphold or
overturn the new rates.
This may mean that the State would
make good on all the colored rebate
tickets when these are presented for
payment by ferry customers.
There is also a possibility that the
ne-Romancoke shuttle would
be discontinued, as it had been run
at loss for some years.
