Heavy Labor Day
Traffic Looked For
On Railroads

The railroads anticipate very
heavy travel over the Labor Day
period because of the Govern
ment's indication that gasoline
be conserved on account of the
shortage in Eastern states. In
view of this, many patriotic mot
orists will leave their cars at
home during the above period
and use train service. The Bal
timore and Ohio railroad is
therefore making every effort to
provide adequate equipment so
that patrons may travel in the
greatest comfort. To gain this
result, they are asking those
who contemplate using train SER
vice to make reservations for
Pullmans and purchase tickets as
early in advance as possible.
This will give the B. & o. an
opportunity to provide equip
ment and have it ready in ample
time to render it's usual salts
factory service. The local agent
will be glad to give you details
about many tours, popular out
ings and cruises available.

Is Expanded

Announcement was made to-
day by officials of the Newark
Ice & Coal company that work
has already started on the en-
largement of their Zero-Cold
Locker plant, located at Clinton
& ST. Clair street.
The reception given lockers by
Newark and Licking county resi-
dents has greatly exceeded ex-
pectations and the demand for
lockers has necessitated the ad-
dition of more space to accom-
modate new users. Located ad-
jacent to the present locker plant
the new addition will increase
the number of lockers by go per
cent.
Meats, fruits and vegetables
stored now will mean a great
saving later. Because of the ma
tional emergency everybody is
being urged by our government
to save and conserve.
Compare the price of vege-
table now while plentiful with
the price they will be this win
ter when out of season.
When the Zero-Cold lockers
were first installed three years
ago it was new and untried in
this section of the country.
Since that time over one
thousand local residents have
been convinced that by using a
locker they could Give better for
less"
Newark Ice & Coal company
officials say that the new lock-
ers will be ready for use in a
very short time. They invite the

Company commanders led their
men on foot up Ricketts, Point road
bisecting the peninsula, where they
deployed into defense positions in
line with Wilson Point road, perpen-
dicular to Ricketts, road.
The terrain, fairly difficult for

Takoma Park Council
Seeks Conference on
Police Problems
Plans Joint Meeting
With Montgomery
County Officials .

Members of the Takoma Park
tMd) Town Council, anxious for
early settlement of a controversy
over administration of the towns
police department, today were plan
ming a joint meeting with Mont
gomery County officials in an effort
to iron out problems raised at a
meeting of the council last night.
The controversy f1ared when
Councilman Joseph Martin criticized
Councilman Howard H. Harrigan,
chairman of the Municipal Service
Committee in charge of police mat
tiers, for allegedly ordering changes
without the councils sanction.
County Police Criticized.
Lack of cooperation on the part
of county police also was target of
criticism. The towns present joint
police force set-up includes SER
geant and corporal from the county
and a sergeant and three privates
representing the town.
Mr.. Harrigan said he had been
promised cooperation by county
officials, but added that he had not
received it and had given several
orders which we're not carried out by
the police department. He said he
had made personal investigation
at the Takoma police station and
had found that County Police Sergt.
Leroy Rodgers had been on sick
leave and special details for "a days.
He charged that Sergt. Rodgers
previously had stated he was not
interested in Takoma Park or Prince
Georges County and was answer
able only to Montgomery County.
Sergt. Earl Thomas of the town
police admitted to the council that
orders given by Mr.. Harrigan had
not been carried out.
Asks Warrant Cost Cut.
Judge Ralph G. Shure appeared
before the council to suggest that
a reduction be made in the cost of
serving warrants to persons charged
with violating parking regulations.
The present charge is $3.50 and
Judge Shure recommended that the
rate be dropped to rs cents. He
contended it was not fair to fine
violator 81 or 81, plus costs, max
ing the offense cost $3.50 or $3.50
The rs cent rate would conform to
the State law, he pointed out.
Judge Shure also suggested that
warning be given to first offenders
for overtime parking instead OF
compelling them to appear in court.
