SKILLED MEN
PRESENT PROBLEM
FOR THE DEFENSE
Thousands Were Appointed
During 1910 But Thousands
Needed For This Year

Getting the skilled men needed for
National defense jobs continues to
be one Of the greatest problems Of
the new year for the Civil Service
Commission. Thousands were ap-
pointed during 1910 but thousands
more are going to be needed during
the coming year at the arsenals and
navy yards and in the air service.
Toolmakers, instrument makers, and
machinists are especially in demand,
and they are especially necessary to
the National defense program. A
mong others also urgently needed
are: Aircraft instrument mechanics;
aircraft mechanics; metalsmiths
(aviation); coppersmiths; lens grind
ers; loftmen; ordnancemen (torped-
oes); shipfitters; and ironworkers
(shipfitting duty). If you are skill
ed in any of these trades, and want
a Government job, write to or call
for information at the office of the
Board of U. S. Civil Service Exam
liners at any first or second-class post
office. You may also learn about
these jobs by consulting the notices
posted in the third-class post offices.

BLOOD DONORS
CLUB ORGANIZED
in POCOMOKE CITY
Over Forty Persons Of This
Community Volunteer To
Offer Blood If Needed

In the current issue of the Read
er's Digest" there is an article con-
densed from "This Week Magazine"
and written by Milton Mackaye, the
title of which is "Blood Brothers."
In this article there is the story of
the formation of "Blood Donors
Club" in Madison, Connecticut. The
suggestion for such an organization
came from the difficulty and expense
sometimes attendant upon securing
the right type of blood when trans
fusion was necessary to save, perhaps
a human life. 1t tells of a case
where 10 persons failed in their eff
forts to be of assistance in the way
under discussion.
Thus the idea was born to form a
community club composed of volun-
teer members who stood ready, when
ever called upon, to supply blood to
i'll persons, in whose veins ran the
same type as in those of the "club''
member. In this way, there was a
saving of that most important ele-
ment, time, when need was urgent;
the ring of telephone would bring the
correct remedy.
A similar club was organized in
Pocomoke City on Monday evening
last, when over forty city volunteers
repaired to the local health depart
ment office, and there underwent a
blood test. These tests will be re-
corded, and when occasion demands,
there will be ready at hand, a club
member who, if he cares to volun-
teer, will give of his life's elements
to save another, and at no risk to his
own.
Last Mondays venture was under
the direction of DR.. J. Williams
X-ray specialist, of Salisbury, and his
assistants. The club is not limited
in membership, and application car
be made through ones physician OF
through the local newspaper office
The object is a most humane one
and it is to the everlasting credit
of residents of this community that
it is meeting with such liberal and
cooperative support.

A new APPEAL
FOR SAFETY ON
THE HIGHWAYS
Dramatic Representation On
Posters Of Possible Trag-
edies On The Concrete

A new and dramatic appeal for
safety will appear on the highways
of the State under the direction of
the Maryland Traffic Safety Com
mittee who is receiving the coopera-
ton of local outdoor advertising COM
panies.
The program consists of 24-sheet
poster which will appear throughout
the State on outdoor bill boards. The
caption of this poster is "You killed
her." 1t depicts pedestrian having
been struck and left lying in the
roadway. In the picture appears the
policeman bending over the broken
form of the pedestrian, and in the
background of the picture appears
the motorist who has caused the &C
cident.
The poster, according to Governor
O'Conor's Safety Committee, is a
plea, not only for safe driving, but
for equal care among pedestrians,
who will make up almost 40 per cent
of all fatalities in motor vehicle ac-
cidents during the year 1941. "Pedes-
TRANS, as well as motorists, are
charged with the obligation of OBJ
serving safe practices in the use of
the highways
The striking poster, from a paint
ing by Hayden Hayden, one of Amer
ica's leading artists, has been pre-
pared as his contribution to the joint
safety movement. 1t follows a line
of other Hayden posters which have
been noteworthy among such efforts
on the safety front. Millions of
motorists have seen powerful pleas
designed by this well known artist.
The favorable comment of leaders in
the highway safety movement was &C
corded his poster of a motorist hold
ing an injured child in his arms and
titled "What Have I Done" as we'll
as other pictures which have attract
ed nationwide attention.
Owners of outdoor advertising
plants in this State will contribute
space on their boards to promote the
cause of Highway Safety under an
arrangement by the Maryland Traf-
fic Safety Committee.

FIRE THREATENS HOME
OF Mr.. WIN. HOBLITZELL

A fire which was extinguished
very shortly after the alarm was
turned in, might have resulted very
seriously, had it gained further head
way.
The property threatened was that
of Mr.. William Hoblitzell, corner
Market and Second Streets, and the
blaze originated from some hot ashes
which were, perhaps, rather careless
ly gotten rid of and caused ignition
in the back part of the building. For
tunately, the prompt appearance of
the local fire department on the
scene, prevented spread, and the
loss is small.
