Roads Committees Approve
Measures to Give Farmers
HELP on Roads and Licenses

than it VIII in July, and there VIII
be no reduction from the reguIot
quarterly rate charged after OCTOBER
first.
The other bill which the JOINT
committee oEeyed was that spon-
sored by John Umstead in the House
and Senator Cherry on the other side
.eaTmarking two. million dollars Of
highway funds for secondary road
construction and surfacing.
Discussion of this bill was enliN-
ened by Libby Wards interroga-
ton of Charles Ross, highway COM
mission attorney, about unused sur
plus money III the highway fund.
Mr.. Ward brought out the admission
tlat there j. something like SIX mil
lion dollars unencumbered surplus,
while the actual money on hand is
several times that much.
Speaking for the highway commits
sion, MI. Ross did not forthrightly
oppose the bill, but he did intimate
that its passage would deprive the
commission of some OF its dlSCIetlOH
in how to allocate road money. IN
other WORDS" came back Mr.. Ward.
this is a step toward restoring to the
legislature some slight right to gay
~ puDlIC money shall be spent on
the highways" Referring rather
>IlghtingIy to the fact that the two
million dollars would build only 30
to 300 miles OF road a year, Mr.. Ross
again van headr-. INTO some Craven
county dynamite. Mr.. Wards answer
was that IF you had been doing that
all the time. the state would NOW
have some decent secondary roads.
It was brought out in the debate
thai there were about 3l6 miles OF
surfaced secondary roads built IN the
state last year. The committee was
cautioned not to forget that ii co>t
more to maintain hard surface roaGs.
since the tar and asphalt must be
replaced every few years, than il
does to keep -oil surfaces.
Tho third road bill was before the
Senate committee and was )u-
]uuimously approved, permitting the
highway forces to work short neigh
borhood public roads not important
enough to go ON the road map. and
yet with no other hope of being KEEP;
in repair. The commission has here
toforc done a great deal OF this Kind
of work, but actually it has not bJd
the right to do it. The proposed law
puts the initiative up to the county
commissioners, all such work being
done upon recommendation OF the
county boards.
All in all. it was a right lucky com
mittee day for farmers.

the occurrence Of 210 cases, ITO in
the counties and 40 in Baltimore
City. The total reported for the en-
tire twelve moths of 1910 was 1853;
100 cases from the counties and 40
from Baltimore City.
"The aim of every health officer"
Dr. Riley continued, sis to have every
young child in the area over which
he has supervision, safeguarded a.
gainst this dread disease. Thousands
of parents have availed themselves
of the opportunity afforded by the To-
cal clinics to have their children pro-
tected against it. The results have
been shown in a gradual decrease in
sickness and deaths from diphtheria.
The number dropped from $500 cas-
es and 1872 deaths in 1920, to LOO
cases with so deaths in 1880, and to
fewer than 100 cases with z deaths
in 1910.
Though sickness and deaths from
diphtheria have been cut down to less
than one-tenth of what they were
twenty years ago, there is always
danger that the child who has not
been protected against it, will take it
from some other child, or from some
body who has had the disease and
who may be carrier of it. Parents
are risking a great deal when they
put off having their children protec-
ted against this disease. Delay is
dangerous"
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1941-12-23

who have neglected to have their
children protected against this dis
ease, to take them to their own doc
tor or to the nearest health depart
ment clinic and have it done without
further delay.
He reminded parents that through
the use Of what is known as "toxoid,"
children can be protected against
diphtheria in the same way that they
can be vaccinated against smallpox.
The disease is particularly hard on
young children and every youngster
should be given the toxoid treatment
before he or she is year old, if pos
sible, and certainly before the child
enters school. Toxoid clinics are held
in all of the County Health Depart
ments, and in the Baltimore City
Health Department centers, for the
protection of children who can not
have it done otherwise. Full infor-
nation as to places or hours for these
clinics can be readily obtained from
the health officers and public health
nurses.
There were fifty more cases of
diphtheria reported to the State De-
partment of Health during November
of this year, than during November
of 1910. The total number of cases
reported in November, 1910, was 30;
% from the counties and 2 from Bal
timore City. The total reported in No
vember of this year was 80; 6S from
the counties and IL from Baltimore
City. Flare-ups in different parts of
the State have been responsible, DR..
Riley said, for a marked increase in
the total number of cases reported
during the current year. During the
eleven months which ended November
30, the Department was notified of

Tense Moment in
Desert Daybreak
Ends Tobruk Sieqe
BY VIRGIL TINKLEY

WITH ADVANCED ARMORED
FORCE, in Western Desert, Nov. 81
tUP)-Ihe seYen-monthS-old Axis
siege line around Tobruk was broken
at dawn today when a weary, bat
tle-SCarred New Zealand tank unit
from Sid Rezegh trained its guns
on an armored column atop a sand
dunC-only to discover the suspected
enemy was from the Tobruk gar
rison.
Both the New ZealanderS and the
British tank column from Tobruk
bad fought their way through strong
AXIS opposition, littering the desert
trail with the Wreckage of armorcd
vehicles, but both were surprised
when they discovered that they had
finally joined hands.
can official statement said the
junction was made at Ed Duda,
four miles west of Sidi Rczegh, and
tnat it had closed the gap" which
the Axis had been fighting to hold
orCn between Rezegh and Tobruk.)
MOMENT OF SUSPENSE
Identification of enemy and friend
ly tanks was difficult in the gray
light OF dawn and for a moment as
the two groups faced each other in
battle array there seemed to have
been danger that they would open
fire.
The New Zealanders had been in
a four day battle in which they
drove a wedge through the German
forces TO Join the British. Czech and
Polish forces that had fought their
way II miles out of Tobruk and
seized Ed Duda.
Both forces maneuvered carefully
as they approached a junction be-
cause dawn had not yet fully brok-
en-. There were cheers when day
light revealed the situation.
The New Zealanders' drive along
the Trigh- and main coastal
road toward the Rezegh battle sec
tor had been fiercely contested by
German tanks and infantry, which
took a heavy toll of men and ma
chimes.
TOLL Is GREAT
Dead and wounded soldiers and
wrecked tanks. trucks and trans
ports Uttered the sandy wastes over
an area 100 miles square. Due to
the complete mobility of all fight
ing units, the desert battlefield be-
came "every-manS land"
One New Zealand company scored
a brilliant victory when it captured
10 MeSsersChmitt fighter planes
with their crews at the Gambut air.
drOme.
An armOred car crew member said
his car had captured six German
Messerschmitt planes, one of which
was Serviceable, in an underground
/ hangar.
The Germans were taken by sur
prise. believing their tanks had sue
ceCdCd in smashing up the attack
many miles away.
Throughout the battle, New Zea-
land infantry had been following
directly behind British tanks. But
when tanks were engaged in run
ming battles, the infantry moved
ahead alone against German ma
cnine gun ana artillery positions
dug deep in the desert.
