EGG RECEIVING STATION

Conversion of Rising Suns South
ern States Federal-State egg grading
station into a Southern States Coop
erative egg receiving station has
just been completed, according to
Gilbert Halsey, manager of the
local cooperative.
This change has been made in an
effort to improve the egg marketing
service and to lower operating costs
thus making possible a better re-
turn to farmers, Mr.. Halsey ex-
planned.
Any quantity of eggs may be mar
keted through this service which is
provided at Rising Sun and at a
number of other places throughout
Virginia. Maryland, Delaware, and
West Virginia. Immediately upon
delivery of eggs, the producer re-
ceives receipt for the lot. This re-
ceipt shows, also, the exact price to
be paid for eggs that fall in each OF
the U. S. grades. The eggs are then
shipped to one of the Southern
States Marketing Cooperative OUT
lets located at Washington. Balti-
more, Richmond, and Roanoke
where they are graded by a licensed
FederalState grader. A check made
to the poultryman and a ticket
showing how his eggs graded are
sent to his local cooperative agency
for delivery. These checks are hand
ed to producers when they call for
them.
1.-THE grades into which eggs fall
are determined largely by the care
and handling the poulrryman gives
his eggs, Mr.. Halsey pointed out,
''as most eggs are Of high quality
when laid. We urge producers to coli
lect eggs from the nests several
times a day, to put them in a cool.
moist cellar Immediately, and to
market them as often as possible.
Time, heat, and dirt are the eggs
worst enemies.

CHEVROLET SPRING
COLORCADE

Timed to be a salute to spring,
Chevrolet announces a Colorado
of Models" in dealerships the coun-
try over, introducing the liveliest
array of hues ever offere4 by the
sales leader of the auto industry.
The announcement was made in De-
troit this week by William e. Hol-
Ter, general sales manager.
Further Frightening a line which
already includes an unusually wide
range of colors and two-tone color
combinations" Mr.. Holler said, lis
the introduction at this time OF
new colors for interior trim. Our
three most popular Special Deluxe
models--the sport sedan, town sedan
and five passenger coupe--are now
available with either green or blue
Canda Cloth upholstery at no addi-
tional cost.
with models in Constitution
Blue, Marine Blue and two-tones in
Nassak Gray above and Marine Blue
below, a choice of the standard tan
or new blue tone upholstery is Of
fered. Likewise, tan or green up
holstery is available with Ridge
Green, Admiral Green and two-tone
green models.
These new bright spots in the
spring picture, Mr.. Holler said,
argument a line that already in
cludes the popular new Fleetline
model, trimmed in it's own distinc-
tive tan-and-brown broadcloth. In
troduced few weeks ago, the Fleet
line has received wide acclaim as
the first car in the lowest price
range to afford maximum town car
smartness''.
The new blue and green uphol-
stery fabrics are distinctive in shade
highlighted by a harmonizing stripe
that lends added richness to the ma
terial. Their inclusion in the Chew
rolet line gives the color-conscious
motorist unusual range in his Sc
lection of a distinctive, personalized
vehicle.

TEETH AND THE NATIONAL
EMERGENCY

The recent numerous news items
on the dental conditions found
among draftees when they come up
for physical examinations are cited
by DR.. Richard c. Leonard, Chief of
the Division OF Oral Hygiene OF the
Maryland State Department OF
Health as emphasizing the need for
early and regular dental care--both
at home and under professional su-
pervision-of children Of today.
DR.. Leonard said: "The deplorable
mouth conditions resulting in the re-
lection of so many draftees may be
attributed in large part to their fail
ure to avail themselves of dental
care, even when properly advised,
when they--the draftees--were child
rem. Another probable factor is the
period of economic depression dur
ing which a great deal OF needed
preventive dental service was allow
ed to go unattended.
when most of the present draft
tees were OF elementary school age
there was little or no development
of the present day school dental
health program. These programs,
still not as universal as they should
be, aim at the double goal OF educat-
ing the child in the Importance of
good teeth and OF seeing that need
ed care is received either from a
family dentist or in school dental
clinics. By the first of these two aims
it is hoped that the children will be
in their later years.
Had the draftees had the initial
care that results from this school
program the i'll effects of the de-
preston period would probably not
have been so markedly reflected in
the present condition of their teeth.
Every dental defect that resulted in
the loss of prospective draftees
tooth had a small beginning. Had
it been noted early, corrected, and
subsequent defects found early and
corrected, the number of necessarily
extracted teeth would have been ma
terially reduced with, in turn, re-
duction in the number OF draft re-
jections.
There is no cure for dental de-
cay once it is started, other than
prompt corrective service by den
fist. 1t is believed that the efforts
now being made to accustom the
children to early and regular dental
care will prevent the development
of conditions similar to those that
are now influencing the rejection of
draftees. If it does this it will also
result in the improved health of our
adult population whether or not a
national emergency is faced.
"And good teeth in healthy bodies
are as essential in normal as in
emergency periods"

CHEVROLET REGIONAL MANA.
GERS MEETING

Specialization for efficiency was
the keystone of the twoday business
meeting of fifty Chevrolet sales or
ganization top executives in De-
troit this week in the General Mot
ors Auditorium. Plans and programs
were revealed by William E. Holler
and the Central Office staff to re-
gional managers and their assistants
that will govern future field proceed
ure.
This newly created specialization
program embraces the concentration
of additional specially trained man
power on the three big phases Of
Dealer operations. More than 1870
new appointments were announced
for regional and zone personnel.
New and improved methods of
operation were unfolded to meet the
changed conditions in the selling
field.
User cars, trucks, and customer
service were highlighted and plans
were shown that will coordinate the
efforts of Central Office, field whole
sale men, and dealers toward these
important phases of customer-dealer
relationships.
Chevrolet keeps in close touch
with economic affairs of the nation,
it's dealers and customers" said Mr..
Holler. THE Central Office knows
that it is timely to specialize for ef-
ficiency, and we are now organized
for co-ordinated sales direction.
"The Service and Mechanical De-
partment will be expanded by the
addition of forty-ive (45) Assistant
Zone Service and Mechanical Man
ayers, who will spend all their time
in the field, working directly with
the $500 Dealers Service Managers,
to train and school apprentices to
take the places of mechanics who
will be required for the National De-
Tense Program.
"The second major phase of the
program is the addition of forty
i've (45) Assistant Truck Managers,
one in every zone, to reinforce the
present Truck Organization. With
the increasing necessity of trans
porting consumer goods and the
added responsibilities which will be
placed on truck transportation COM
panies in the future, these addition
al men being appointed will assume
the responsibility of Analysing the
shippers needs and providing the
most economical specifications and
capacities required to do the haul
ing job.
Chevrolet will further intensity
it's cooperation with Chevrolet Deal
| ers nationally by providing more
! coordination in the reconditioning
| of Used Cars and Trucks. Twelve
(12) specialized and fully equipped
Reconditioning Trucks are now trav-
cling the entire country, training
and schooling the Dealers Service
and hecoAditioning Managers on
the newest methods of servicing
Used Cars and Tracks.
THE appointment of forty-five
(45) Assistant Zone Business Man
ayers will further strengthen Chew
rolet's program from here on out to
create more specialization Tor sal-

CHILDREN's AID ANNUAL
MEETING

At the Children's Aid Annual
Meeting held at the Parish House in
Elkton on April 4th Mrs. Edith
Gardner, Superintendent of the
Montrose School for girls, gave
most interesting account of the
present method of conducting tat
school, and of the results as shown
in the reaction Of the girls to real in
terest and carefully directed SUPER
vision of education to fit them to
take responsible positions in the
world.
The girls at Montrose are all COM
mitted by the courts for various
causes generally classed as delin-
quent. They are rather older
group as a rule than those cared
for by the Childrens Aid Society
and in most cases have become so
hard to handle that foster home
placement is not very satisfactory,
and foster parents are hard to find
who would have he patience or abil-
ity to direct them. Mrs. Gardner,
herself, makes a special study of
each girl committed to the institu-
ton, and with the aid of an able
staff of helpers and an honor sys-
piece Of work. A very careful study
is made of the background of each
girl in the effort to find the reason
for her lack of normal adjustment
to proper living. Generally what
ever delinquency there is can be
traced to some condition in the
background rather than any real
fault of the child, and the problem
of helping her is one of education
rather than of correction. In addi-
girls help with the work on the 400
acre farm and have plenty of whole
some food as well as exercise. They
have model vocational school so
that every girl is trained to do some
thing for living when she leaves
the shelter Of the home. Under the
honor system girls are permitted to
visit their homes for week-ends and
in no case in the past five years
while this system has been practic-
ed, has girl failed to return as she
should. AS soon as she is prepared
for it she is paroled and the school
has no difficulty in finding suitable
positions for her. A very high per-
centage have made good and it Is
very fine to know that we have in
the state school with such splen-
did reputation for girls who need
the help that it can give them,
The yearly reports were given of
the work of the society and some rec
ord of the large family under care.
The officers were all reelected for
another year. They are Mr.. Stand
ley Evans President, Mr.. Edwin S.
Dorcls, vice-pres., Rev. j. Warren
Atkinson, treasurer, Miss Bertha
Balderston, secretary, Mrs. Albert
Constable, Jr., Asst. treas. New
members added to the Board were
Mrs. Marion Pearce, Cecilton; Mrs.
Albert Constable, Sr., Elkton; Miss
Mary Harlan, Cherry Hill; and Mrs.
Alan Carlson of North East. These
with the following who were re-
elected will serve for two years Mrs.
George Bailey, Mrs. Wallace Will
liams, Mrs. j. Herbert Bates, Mrs.
Standby Evans, Mrs. Henry S.
Young, Mrs. Isaac Heisler, Rev. j.
B. Dickerson and Mrs. Miller A.
Hall. Half the Board is elected each
year to serve for two years.

This Christian Scientists are endeav-

Letter From English Girl
Tells Bombing Experiences

Several years ago through a col

Miss Rosann Spratt began a cor
respondence with a young girl in
London, England, Joyce Caldwell
This week she received long let
ter. postmarked May II in London,
telling first hand OF experiences
in a bombing.
I'VE have been. bombed, she
writes, "And hope never to have
another experience like that one.
1t happened March 10. My mother.
father and | were sitting around
the fire and my sister was at my
aunty's across the street. She and
my cousin had just settled down
for the evening to do piece Of
needlework when the siren sound
ed. We took no notice because We
were used to the siren by then.
Soon the guns began to go off and
the planes started to come in, and
from that time, about $50, till 8
a. m. when the all clear sounded,
the noise of the planes kept up.
When 1t began to get noisy my
father said we had better get down
into the shelter and while he was
bringing my sister and cousin in,
the plane dropped a land mine,
quite close. because 1t blew more Of
our windows out. After we were
all in the shelter, the bombers real
ly started. can't describe it 10 you
because words cannot express the
hell We have been through, but
will try to give you an idea. The
planes must have dropped thou
sands OF fire bombs for the fires
were so fierce that you could see
the barrage balloons. You cannot
see land bombs coming down-you
just see a flash-and a few Sec
onds later you get the terrific
explosion. After two hours in the
shelter there was lull. AS We
had gone into the shelter so quick
ly, we had not had time to take
all the blankets with US. so the
first chance We got. my father and
came out and went to get them.
| left father in the kitchen at the
back Of the house and went to the
front for some OF our coats that
were hanging on pegs. While l
had my arms in the air. there was
a terrific explosion. 1 Just crouched
still until everything finished fall

and all the buildings, too. My eyes
and mouth were full OF dirt. When
things stopped falling. | ran down
the passage to the kitchen, and
fell over debris and doors. |
couldn't get there quick enough
but when | got there, | couldn't
see any kitchen, and when | called
to my father, he never answered.
That was what frightened me, but
then my mother called from the
shelter asking II was all right.
| ran out 10 the shelter but
couldn't see very clearly because
Of the bricks and dust flying
about, but was relieved when saw
they were all safe. thought II
had been a direct hit on the shell
ter and that the house had caught
the blast, but IL wasn't. 1t was
land mine that had struck back
of US at the next turning. We all
waited in shelter for daylight and
when 1t came we all went to in
vestigate the damage. 1t was aw-
full. They must have dropped
