from being seriously burned ON
Saturday afternoon. In cleaning the
yard, he and his two assistants had
set fire to bush near the dwelling.

came surrounded by the flames,
which spread with great rapidity.

promptly, with equipment.

Governors Signature

Important safeguards for Mary

written into the laws of the State
when Governor Herbert r. O'Conor
formally approved Senate Bills 184,
1s5 and 100, passed by the recent

ALI three had the sanction of the
Administration, and were supported
also by organizations interested in
the protection of the States roads
against undesirable structures and
signs, and safety hazards, such as
greet motorists in many sections Of
the State today.
Senate Bill No. 184 empowers the
State Roads Commissions to estab-

authorizes the Roads Commissioners
to protect roads against encroach-

RESIDENTS ASSEMBLE
in TOWN MEETING
Town In Good Financial
COnditiOn.-COmmissiOn.
ers RenOminated

About twenty-five residents were
present at the annual Rising Sun
Town Meeting, held Tuesday eve-
Firemen's Hall, to listen to reports
of business connected with the town
and nominate a board of commis-
sioners for the ensuing year.
The Treasurer's report showed
the finances of the town to be in
good condition. Total receipts for
the year were $13,O70.17; expendi-
lures $12,54O.26, leaving a good
working balance on hand.
The question causing most dis
cussion during the meeting was
that of street lighting. Some months
ago a change was made in the sys-
tenn by installing higher power
wattage, with fewer lights. This
change proved unsatisfactory in
certain sections of the town,--not-
ably on Cherry street, land caused
protests on the part of residents in
the localities affected.
A motion prevailed at the meet
ing looking to increased lighting of
the complained of dark spots by in
stallation of additional lights.
The old Board of Town Commits
sioners was rendered a rising vote
of thanks for their conduct of town
affairs and renominated to serve
the coming year, which will be their
sixteenth successive term of Office.
The board is composd of ]. T. Cam
eron, Walter M. Cameron, ]. Earl
Tyson, Edwin L. Haines and John c.
Hindman. The nomination of the
old Board of Commissioners with
out opposition renders the holding
of an election unnecessary.
The town has the lowest tax rate
of any town on the Eastern Shore,
forty-five cents on the $4,000, and
boasts public improvements that
many towns of much larger size can
not claim. These include munich
pally owned water and sewer system,
incinerator, with free garbage and
ashes collections, paved and lighted
streets.
The report showed that during
month of April, 21,785 pounds of
garbage were collected, which re-
quired the operation of the incinera-
tor 70 hours to consume.

DEFENSE SAVINGS BONDS
AND STAMPS ON SALE
MAY Be Purchased At Post Offices
In Various Denominations

ford to purchase up to $4,000
worth of bonds year, the Treasury
Department has issued two addi-
tional kinds of Defense Savings
Bonds, but these will be sold only
through banks and by direct mail
from Washington, d. G. They are
intended for associations, trustees
and corporations, as well as indivi-
dual purchasers.
For the small investor who wants
to buy a Government Bond on an
easy payment plan, the post Office
will have a new series of Postal
Savings Stamps at 10c, 25c, soc, 81
and $5. Each purchaser of any saw
ings stamp higher than 10c will be
given, free of charge, an attractive
album in which to paste his stamps
until he has enough to buy $25
bond or one of higher denomina-
ton. Thirty million of these albums
are now being prepared.
The cover design of the albums
is in color, featuring United States
battleship and an eagle bearing the
American flag. On the back cover is
a painting of the Minute Man statue
by Daniel Chester French, which
symbolizes the American citizen
ever alert in defense of his country
The inscription is America on
Guard.
Secretary Morgenthau said that
even a boy or girl who saved 10c
to buy a Savings Stamp would help
the country. He added t g you can
safeguard your own money and your
own future, while helping the ma
tional defense, by buying United
States Savings Bonds now.

The United States Defense Saw
ings Bonds and Postal Savings

nable.
Postmaster General Frank c.

be "a real service to the country.
The new Defense Savings Bond
is similar to the familiar Baby
Bond, of which more than five bill
lion dollars worth have been bought
by more than two and half million
Americans since 1895.
A Defense Bond may be purchased
May /, or thereafter, for $18.75. In
ten years, this bond will be worth
$500. This is an increase of 33 1-3

pounded semi-annually. Any time
after sixty days from the date of
purchase, the bond may be redeemed
for cash, in accordance with a table
of redemption values printed on the
face of the bond.
To spread investments widely
among all the people in America, a
limit of $4,000 has been set on the
amount of these bonds to be bought
by any one person in one year. The
bonds are in denominations of $25,
$50, 500, $500 and $1,000, all of
which are sold for rs per cent of
their maturity value and all of
which mature in ten years.

prospective SlVoFS 10 Lno Union
Hospital Building Fund campaign,
that opened Monday evening, April
28th, will be given an opportunity
to make pledges over a two year
period, paying monthly, quarterly
or semi-annually into the Fund. In
that way many will be able to give
more than they could afford If their
gifts were made in one lump sum.
"This is not an annual appeal" ;"
said General Chairman e. d. e. Rol-
Inns. "Never before has the Union
Hospital made a county wide re-
quest for money. And this appeal is
being made once and now. 1t affords
our people an opportunity to make
an investment in great civic i'm
provement. By giving people a
chance to pledge money over a two
year period, it is hoped to get the
maximum from every donor. The
kind of a hospital the people of Cecil
County get depends upon how ser
iously everyone regards the need
and how willing they are to make a
sacrifice to help make worthy
cause succeed. The Union Hospital
is charitable and non-profit insti-
tuition. Any gift to the Building
is therefore deductible on income
tax.
