Make February Safer

In February Beware Of:
l. Crossing streets carelessly
in rainy weather, particularly at
night. The four pedestrians
killed in February, 1910, were
struck in wet weather, three
after dark.
2. Crossing a street at a point
other than a croSswalk or cross
ing against red light. The
former cost two lives in Febru-
ary, 1910; the latter, one. The
fourth pedestrian was struck by
a hit-run motorist at an uncon-
trolled intersection.
OF the four pedestrians, three
were go years of age or older.

with an automobile.

28-YEAROLD
RECISTRANTS ARE
LIABLE TO FINES
Although Deferred By Law
From Actual Military Service,
They Must Obey Local Boards

Although deferred by law from &C.
tual military training, Selective Ser
vice registrants who are more than
% years old must conform to orders
from their local boards or be liable
to penalties prescribed for delinquents
1t. Col. Henry C. Stanwood, State Di-
rector of Selective Service, cautioned
them today.
While the amendment to the Selec-
tive Training and Service Act of 1910
recently adopted by Congress pre-
cludes induction of men who were %
years of age or older on July 1, 1941,
these registrants must live up to the
other obligations imposed upon them
by the Act, the Director said.
Questionnaires must be filed at the
request of the registrants' local
boards, he declared, and any regis
trant who fails to comply with such
requests may be considered as a de-
linquent and be liable to fine or inn
prisonment, or both, under the penal
ty clause of the Act.
Although registrants who were %
years of age or older on July 1, 1871,
must fill out questionnaires, Colonel
Stanwood said, when it becomes evil
dent that they are deferred because of
age, they will be placed in the proper
deferred classification by their local
boards.
It is intended, he declared, that
hereafter registrants who are defer
red by reason of age will continue to
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1941-09-19

be classified in the same manner as
other registrants, except that they
will be given no physical examination,
and except that those of such regis
trants who are being classified for
the first time and who are not CLASH
fled into Class w, Glass III, or Class
II will be classed in Class III. Those
of such registrants who are classified
into Class I or Glass I'VE before
becoming entitled to deferment by
reason of age, will be placed into
Class III and Class IV-E-H re-
spectively upon becoming entitled to
deferment by reason of age, Colonel
Stanwood pointed out.

PAROLED men
MAKE RECORDS
in THE STATE
Of The 236 individuals Released
From Prison, Only Five
Fail To Make Good

Apparently justifying to the fullest
the meticulous consideration given to
each recommended parole by Cover
nor Herbert R. O'Conor, a report COM
piled by the Department of Parole
and Probation shows that of 236 in
dividuals released from prison under
parole or other executive order in the
past two and one-half years, only
five have failed to make satisfactory
adjustment.
Governor O'Conor was particularly
gratified over the report which show
ed that in approximately SO percent
of the cases granted by him, the sub
ject so far has lived up to all the
conditions. The benefits resulting to
society. as we'll as to the individuals,
are of far-reaching Importance, the
Governor declared. He was highly
gratified over the exceptionally low
rate of violations of 81 percent.
Of the 236 persons released by Gov
ernor O'Conor, 2O4 were on parole;
Fl were under conditional pardon;
and the other IL represented COM
mutation of sentences. So of the cas-
es were acted favorably upon during
1889; 95 during 1910; and so so far
this year.
In view of the Importance of the
parole system to society at large,
Governor O'Conor felt that it would
be most helpful to know exactly what
results were being obtained. In view
of the record that, in almost every
case, those selected for executive
clemency have or are readjusting
themselves to society, the system
more than justifies itself.
The results announced above offer
definite assurance to the people of
Maryland that the matter of parole
and executive clemency is being hand
led in way to achieve the most ben
eficial results for the State and for
the individuals concerned.

MEN HUNTED BY COUNTY
OFFICERS in OUTBREAKS

Declaring that the "Black Ankle"
camp at Berlin had long needed q
general cleanup by county authori-
ties, because of the numerous out
breaks of crime there this summer,
Trial Judge Culver, a former Deputy
Sheriff and Berlin police officer, de-
clared "if necessary I shall again
wear badge and clean up the place
myself if county and Berlin police
officers persist in ignoring fragrant
crime conditions there" He partici-
pated in one raid on the camp.
In a Salisbury hospital today lies
George Higgins, of Norfolk, Va,
whose chances of recovering from a
slashed abdomen are slight, declared
Constable Edwin D. Lynch last night.
Higgins was slashed with knife a.
cross his stomach several times Sun
day night, climaxing general craps
game at "Black Ankle" camp, it is
stated. Today officers are seeking his
assailant.
A State warrant for another negro,
who shot Madison Reddick in the foot
three weeks ago during gambling
game of craps, sending Reddick to
the Salisbury hospital for twenty
days was only issued yesterday by
Trial Magistrate Fred A. Culver here.
Magistrate Culver explained that
the shooting was reported to States
Attorney William G. Kerbin, of Wor-
cester County three weeks ago by DR..
Charles R., Law, Berlin physician,
but that no action had been taken by
officials. Yesterday a warrant in the
case was sworn out by Noah Hudson,
Berlin night police chief.
Yesterday another incident broke
out in the "Black Ankle" section of
Berlin, when Frank Brown complain
ed to officials that another negro
named Lee Wilson was hunting him
with loaded shotgun. State Police
Corporal Newton J. Lloyd and Con-
stable Edwin D. Lynch rushed to
BLACK Ankle" camp, found Wilson
with a shotgun and took the loaded
weapon from Wilson's hands. Will
son was duly warned to behave.
One hour later a second complaint
was made against the Wilson negro.
This time he was cunning for Frank
Brown with loaded rifle. Trial
Judge Fred A. Culver and Night Po-
lice Chief Noah Hudson went to
"Black Ankle" camp, found Wilson,
grabbed a rifle from him and landed
him in Berlin city Jail on a charge
of assault with a shotgun upon
Frank Brown"
