DROWNING IS REMINDER
OF BELOTE EVENT
Continued From Page u

sort of artificial lake had been form
ed in a space which had been hollow
ed out by excavations for gravel.
Here he was amusing himself on a
raft which presently became detach-
ed from shore and drifted out into
the deeper places of the "lake."
Henderson seeing the boys plight,
went after him, brought him ashore,
and cautioned him as to the risk he
was taking. But not long afterward,
the boy, being joined by his brother,
Francis concluded to go in the water
with him. Soon Henderson and Morse
heard the distressed voice of Francis
calling out that Merrill was nowhere
to be seen.
Both the larger boys went to the
rescue. For awhile the boy, who had
gone down for the last time and
whose body was resting on the bot
tom, could not be located. Finally
Henderson touched Merrill with his
foot, but he had become so exhausted
with his efforts that he was unable
to go down and bring him up. Morse
being fresher, bravely dived for the
body. Bringing it up, he then passed
it to Henderson who took the boy a
shore; the unfortunate lad seemed al
ready dead. His body was black from
strangulation, and there was not the
slightest sign of life.
But Fred Henderson knew thing
or two about resuscitation methods.
He had been taught first aid to
drowning people in his high school
course, and had received additional
instruction since he became member
of the local National Guard Unit.
He went to work on the unconscious
boy. He emptied his stomach and
lungs of water; he used the arms to
restore respiration; he used every
thing he knew to bring back life; but,
was failing until he brought to play
what he had been taught by the army
as a last resort-a severe kidney
treatment. Turning the boy on his
stomach he exerted all his strength
on the "small" of the back. The boy
gave a stifled scream and opened

dence, as persons who would yield
to any such scheme.
"Nor are they to be charged with
misfeasance and misconduct in office
under any light of trivial facts.
"But under the law, which we now
call to your attention, it has for cen
turtles been a crime for any officer to
neglect the performance of his posi-
tive duty.
Included in this is the passing of
false accounts"
Judge johnson recommended that
the jury confine it's investigation of
the shortage from the year 1885 to
the present, adding that the defalca-
lions from that date "would certain
ly exceed $4,000.

From then on, consciousness re-
turned slowly and soon the lad was
carried home to his parents. He will
soon be entirely well and owes his
life to Fred Henderson and Dan
Morse, to whom he should be CRATE
full as long as he lives.
These two young men are deserv-
ing of the highest commentator
They met the situation bravely and
intelligently. The boy was far gone
and a minute or so of delay would
have been fatal. Such service as FREQ
and Dan rendered was indeed heroic
and TOO much can not be said II
praise of it. 1t was a noble piece OF
work.

HILL SUNDAY LAST

lam Ennis, James Colbourne, and
Renzie Mason.
AS stated in last weeks Demo
crat" young Mr.. Hill came into con-
tact with live wire at the ice plant
of the Maryland Light and Power
plant, in this city, and was killed as
121 volts passed through his body
He was seen by Mr.. William Ennis
Just as he laid hold of the fatal wire
Mr.. Ennis seized the unfortunate man
by the rubber shoes he wore and, with
difficulty, broke the connection by
pulling him away from the current
From about 3 o'clock to 7.30 pm,
firemen and physicians worked on the
body aided by the pulmotor of the
fire department. Evidently, from the
first, the shock had proved fatal, and
at the hour above mentioned he was
pronounced dead.
The sympathy of the community
goes out to the wife and children,
as they suffer, not only from the loss
of husband and father, but also from
the sudden and heartbreaking stroke
of the fell Destroyer.

forgery and larceny of county funds.
Eight warrants charge Mrs. Day
with larceny of $1,SS6, and compan-
ion set of warrants charges forgery
of checks for the same items. Mrs.
Day collapsed in the office of the
County Commissioners on August 2,
the day after the investigation into
the shortage was started. She is i'll
at the home of her mother, Mrs. Ira
w. Wright.
Strong suspicion of forgery of
checks was indicated on the fictitious
documents, Judge Johnson said, direc-
ting the jury to "endeavor in every
manner possible to find out how many
people were implicated in the for
geries."
at is felt likely by persons in the
know the charge read, "that all the
forged Endorsements of payees were
not made by the same person."
Referring to the County Commits
sioners and the county treasurer,
Judge Johnson said:
eve do not think it will be con-
tended that any of those officials
knowingly or Intentionally cooperated
to bring about the result apparently
obtained, and the people highly
enough respected by their fellow-men
to be selected to manage the affairs
of the county, including it's finances,

DEPARTMENT
CALLS ATTENTION
TO MILK LAWS
Annual Permits Required From
Producers, Distributors
And Professors
COPIES OF LAW MAY BE
OBTAINED FROM BALTIC.

DR.. R. H. Riley, Director of the
State Department of Health, calls
attention to a new State Milk Law
and to regulations adopted by the
State Board of Health at its regular
monthly meeting, held August 70,
governing the production, pasteuriza-
ton handling and sale of milk and
milk products in Maryland.
Under the State law-as enacted
by the State Legislature at the ses-
sion of 1941-responsibility for the
supervision and sale of milk and milk
products in all parts of Maryland,
with the exception of the City of Bal
timore, rests with the Stats Depart
ment of Health.
Annual permits are required from
producers, professors, distributors,
bobtailers, etc., and annual fees are
required. Authority to revoke such
permits is given with the right to
appeal to the Courts. The producer
is exempt from fees; professors (pas-
teurizers, etc. pay $1,000 per year;
distributors $500 p er year. Bobtail-
ers dealers who sell or distribute
milk which they obtain from a pro-
cessor) are required to pay $500 per
year.
All dealers are required to make
application for permits unless they
already hold same, and are authorized
to continue in busin ess until their ap-
plications have been rejected by the
Health authority. Exceptions are
made in the case of the producers
whose milk is sold interstate.
The law requires the sale of pas
teurized milk and pasteurized milk
products in the original container;
prevents dipping, pouring by hand,
etc. It prohibits the sale of unwhole-
some milk; and the reuse of milk
con tainers by others than the owner.
The State Health Department is
authorized to make regulations per-
tanning to the production, processing,
storing and selling of milk and milk
products. Cities of over 100000 pop
ulation are authorized to enforce the
law in their own city and to collect
the fees, making reports to the City
Comptroller. Municipalities having
authority to enact ordinances may en-
force such ordinances if they are not
in conflict with the State law and
provided they have been approved
by the State Department Of Health.
The regulations establish require
ments for the production, pasteuri-
cation and handling of milk and are
essentially similar to those which pre-
vailed under the old law. One impor-
tant change requires that where bulk
sales of milk are made in large con-
tainers-gallon, etc.,-the containers
must be cleaned and sterilized at the
place selling the milk and satisfactory
equipment must be provided for such
operation.
Copies of the Law and the Regula-
lions in full may be obtained on re-
quest from Mr.. A. L. Sullivan, Chief
of the Bureau of Food and Drugs,

Soil Erosion Control
Topic Of Grange al
Brandywine Meeting
Farm Production to Meet
Defense Needs Also
Stressed at Session
{ Staff CORRESPONDENT of The Star

BRANDYWINE, Md, Aug. o.
Soil erosion control and farm pro-
duction for national defense were
stressed at the quarterly meeting of
the Pomona Grange of Prince
Georges County held in the parish
hall here last night
Representative Sasscer, Democrat,
of Maryland urged more soil erosion
projects in the county, stating
Southern Maryland soil is among the
best farm land in the country, but
suffers more from soil erosion. c. D
Coddington, agricultural economist
of the University of Maryland, dis
cussed the farm products most
needed in the national defense pro-
gram.
w. F. Mulligan of Daniels Park
will head committee of the county
grange to study the effect of low
cost housing subdivisions established
in the county in the last few years.
The purpose of the study will be to
seek methods of equitably distribut-
ing costs of increased schools and
county services resulting from the
influx of population. Other men,
bers of the committee are DR.. Linden
S. Dodson of Greenbelt and Joseph
H. Blandford of Brandywine
Augustus Wolfe of Townsend pre-
sided at the business session. The
award for the best quarterly report
of grange activities went to Belts
Vile.
Meanwhile, at College Park, State
Extension service officials said the
A. A. A. program in Maryland next
year will seek to effect greater soil
conservation on individual farms and
encourage increased production of
defense-needed commodities.
The new program places emphasis
on growing crops that build up the
soil, whereas the old one set re-
strictions on the acreage that could
be planted in crops that run down
the land.

Virginia Seeks
Trip|e-Tax Relief
ForU.S.Workers
Law Planned to Aid
D. 6. Residents Who
Work in Arlington

Triple taxation of the incomes OF
persons living in Washington who
are employed in Virginia would -
abolished under proposed icg1s,s-
tion now being studied by Arlington
Commissioner of Revenue Harry K.
Green.
The commissioner, who is chair
man of the Legislative Committee
of the Commissioners of Revenue
Association of Virginia, has been:
requested by State Tax Commits
sioner C. H. Morrissett to study
possible revisions Of the Virginia
tax code, he said.
The proposal would benefit several
thousand employees in the Federal.
office building nearing completion on
Columbia pike and those who might
be employed in the proposed War
Department Building. They would
be subject to Federal Virginia and
District of Columbia income taxes.
The proposed amendment, however,
would not be confined solely to Fed
eral employees, but would apply TO
workers in private industry in Vir-
ginia who live in the District or in
any other outside jurisdiction.
Some Exceptions.
This does not mean" Mr.. Green
| said. that persons who reside in
the District and work over here, but
who maintain their legal residence
in another State, would be exempted
from Virginia taxation. Many such
persons now pay no income taxes at
all"
Mr. Green said he had been study
ing the proposal to exempt non-
residents from Virginia taxation
since the movement started to erect
Federal buildings in Virginia.
In letter TO Mr.. MorriSSett. Mr..
Green wrote: Il am wondering if
we cannot work out some amend
ment to Section SO of the tax code
whereby We can exempt non-resi-
dents receiving income from labor
performed in Virginia without dis
turbing provisions to assess an in
come on business done, or property
located in the State"
Present Taxes
The District imposes a l per cent
income tax on salary brackets up to
S5,000 IL per cent for the next
$4,000; 2 per cent for the next S5,-
600 and 212 per cent in excess OF
$4,000 The Virginia rate is one
| half of l per cent. higher for each
bracket and under existing law, he
said, he must collect this l. per cent
difference. The revenue would not
be worth the extra expense of ad-
ditional personnel and Office work
involved. Mr.. Green explained.
He said he does not believe any
income should be subject to triple
taxation and added he is attempting
to fearn what other States have
done to correct similar situations.
