UNION HOSPITAL GETS $500, 600
GRANT

Union Hospital has been notified
by kilograms that President Roose-
welt has approved grant OF $780,
900 toward the erection Of new
hospital to be modern in every de-
tail.
The men most active in securing
this appropriation were U. s. Sem
ators Radcliffe and Tydings and
Congressman Ward. The need for
a new hospital was thoroughly APP
preciated by these men and by our
County Commissioners, Lawson c.
Tosh, President; Howard s. Vincent
Clarence Harris; Edwin s. Dorcus,
County Treasurer and Ellis D. q.
Rollins, States Attorney. Interest
of Washington authorities was
brought to focus when the County
Commissioners, County Treasurer
and States Attorney headed dele
cations which presented the facts.
This Government grant is perhaps
the finest thing the Federal authori-
ties could do for the residents of
Cecil County, and the Hospital
Board of Directors representing the
people is most grateful to all of the
public officials who took part.
The grant is conditioned upon the
residents of the County contributing
$4,000. While an appreciable
amount of this is now in the bank
a great deal more must be actually
in hand. All subscribers to the Hos
pital Campaign Fund are urged to
pay their subscriptions as rapidly as
possible because by doing so they
will be helping tremendously in as
surfing the hospital Of receiving the
Government Grant.

VIGILANCE URGED
ON PART OF MOTORISTS

With the Christmas shopping
crush" already under way, the Key
stone Automobile Club urges in
creased vigilance on the part of
both motorists and pedestrians, to
prevent accidents.
Motor vehicle traffic as we'll as
pedestrian traffic." said Edward p.
Curran, Safety Director Of the Club,
lis unusually heavy because of the
Christmas shopping rush. Drivers
should be extremely careful in pass
ing through shopping districts.
Care should be exercised at inter-
sections, for pedestrians are liable
to dart from the sidewalk at unex-
pected times. 'Jaywalkers', also, are
prevalent at this time.
Pedestrians are also urged to use
caution when crossing streets.
Many shoppers, Mr.. Curran said,
ARE unused to walking in heavy
traffic and become confused. This is
especially true of elderly persons.
In view of the obvious hazards, we
recommend that all walkers cross
only at intersections and only upon
proper signal. There is no excuse
for jay walking at amy time, and
especially during this time of year.
I'm brief, we wish to urge upon
every motorist and every pedes-
TRAN the need for caution in con-
gested areas. Each year accident rec
ords soar in the-Christmas season
and general cooperation will be re-
quired to prevent the toll from ris-
ing this year. The attempted saving
of few minutes often proves costly
in human life.'

To fireproof the tree, first get it

COLD STORAGE LOCKERS

At the November meeting of the
Susquehanna Planning Group the
advantages of Cold Storage Locker
Plants were discussed and those
present who have been using the
one at Oxford were quite enthus-
iastic about it. They have found that
home grown meats dressed and frog
en- at least seems much cheaper than
fresh cuts from the market, and are
just as good. And the fresh vege-
tables prepared according to 'direc-
lions and rushed to the freezing
come out SO much better than can
ned goods. Corn, peas and lima
beans are all just as good as in sum-
mer time fresh from the garden.
Fruits also have been tried and some
OF these add variety to winter diet.
The biggest drawback is the fact
that the plant is SO far away. The
cost Of the individual lockers is not
high and we were told that If as
many as fifty patrons were secured a
plant could be operated properly
and profitably in Rising Sun. If
there are others who would like to
help promote such an enterprise,
members of the group would be glad
to hear about it and will do what
they can to get something going
along this line. Here is an oppor-
tunity for an enterprising butcher
to develop a valuable public SER
vice.
Apply to Mr. Macdonald, Mr..
Biggs, Mr.. Lippincott or the Balder-
stons for further information.

SUBSTITUTES IN FRUIT CAKES

The basic design for holiday
fruit cakes and plum puddings
stands, but this year the "accessor-
les" may have to include some less
expensive substitutes, says the U. S.
Department of Agriculture--candied
grapefruit peel for citron, candied
cranberries for candied cherries.
Other citrus peels or crystallized or
preserved watermelon rind can also
take the place of citron, most OF
which used to come from Mediter-
ramean countries from which there
are no imports because of the war.
Candied peel is easy to make at
home, cranberries are plentiful. and
sugar low in price. These substi-
tutes not only keep down the cost
but also help maintain the usual
favor and texture.
