SOLDIERS and
CIVILIANS MUST
KEEP HEALTHY
Local Health Authorities Re
spOnsibIe For Health
And Sanitation

When this country embarked on a
National Defense Program many ar
cas- were overwhelmed with health
problems. The rapid development of
large environments, overnight expan-
sion of defense industries. and the
sudden growth of population in rural
areas, created problems which local
health authorities were totally unpre-
pared to meet.
Medical agencies of the armed fore
es have no authority to regulate con-
ditions in areas adjacent to canton
ments. Since conditions in these ex-
ira cantonment areas vitality effect
the health and welfare of soldiers, a
heavy responsibility fell on civilian
health authorities. Furthermore
there was the task of protecting the
increased civilian population, a large
proportion of which was essential de-
Tense workers.
In order to meet this emergency,
the United States Public Health Ser
vice has entered into close cooperation
with state and local health authorities
in areas where these environments are
located or soldiers are quartered.
There are no large military camps To-
Gated in Worcester County but at the
present there have been several COM
panies of soldiers stationed through
out the length of our county and it
is going to be the responsibility of the
local health authorities to see that the
health and sanitation of this County
will not be a detriment to the we'll be-
ing of these soldiers. This, of course,
goes hand in hand in helping to pro-
tect the civilian population.
Restaurant sanitation is extremely
important because of poential danger
to soldiers and will require strict sup
ervision of food handling facilities.
Many new eating places have sprung
up and a large proportion of them
have paid slight attention to the san
itary requirements. AS a result, care
full inspections and insistence upon
compliance with certain standards
will be absolutely necessary. Soldiers
and civilians alike must be protected
| from outbreaks of communicable dis
eases which can likely be expected to
occur if these precautions are not

AGRICULTURAL
OUTLOOK FOR AZ
IS DISCUSSED
At A Meeting In Snow Hill And
Pocomoke City On The 18th,
BY A. E. Mercker

The agricultural outlook for 1912
was discussed by A. f. Mercker at
two county meetings held at Snow
Hin and Pocomoke February 10th.
Mr.. Mercker stated that the demand
for agricultural commodities Will be
the greatest on record, There will be
increases in domestic consumption be
cause many people are at work and
because Lend-Lease requirements will
be greatly increased Then, in addi-
ton. we must increase the production
of several commodities that were for
merry imported. This is particularly
true Of fats and oils. which means
pork, soy beans and peanuts Mary
land is particularly interested in the
tremendous increase required for can
ned tomatoes and peas. All Of these
increases must be made with a re
duced labor supply.
A serious shortage will probably
develop this year in packaging, es-
pecially those products formerly
packaged in burlap, such as potatoes.
1t is doubtful if cotton fabrics Will
be valuable in sufficient quantities to
take up the slack. however, so pound
paper bags may be available.
The outlook for potatoes is very en-
couraging as compared with last
year. The price at the present time
is very good. The market can absorb
large quantities Of new potatoes I'M
der the present condition. In all of
the early commercial states up
through Maryland, Kentucky and
Missouri, there is an indicated de-
crease in acreage of about percent.
Of course, this can be offset by in
creased yields. Secretary of Agricul-
ture has announced that there will be
a price supporting program for po-
tatoes. This will prevent extremely
low prices. The price support will
probably be confined to growers who
planted 80 to 100 percent of their ac-
reage allotment.
Sweet potato prices are likely to be
fair but probably will not be any
higher than prices this season.
Strawberries are likely to be good
because of increased consumer de-
mand. Production should be larger
than last year on account of poor
yields last year.
The ability of Gamers to process
tomatoes is the only limiting factor
on this crop unless it might be a
shortage of labor.
There is a big increase of cabbage
acreage in production as indicated in
the southern early states including
Virginia. If yields are good in this

the curbs, and, with a right kind of
dog, I would be kept from crossing

to call it a day.
Well, thank Goodness, those sour
notes didn't kill me. Despite the bad
egg business; the fireplace century
plant; the hospital yank; and the dog
leading the blind, I'm still in the land
of the living, and maybe my turn will
yet come to get even with those jokes,

name, Yugoslavia is his country. The English
call him the Bolfver of the Balkans, and his
tory may describe him as Liberator of
Enslaved Europe.
His army is at least hundred thousand
strong. mostly big g-boned Serbian peasants,
with sprinkling of women and even children.
They are the far famed "Chetniks, who have
no more regard for their own lives than for
the enemy's. Many Of them carry poison to
be swallowed when they are surrounded. They
address their general with the familiar thou"

Up the trackless mountain range and down
the stone-strewn beds of rapid brooks, his
army lines run the entire length of the
kingdom 1t is the fourth front of the war, the
only outlaw front, and the weakest point of
the house that Hitler built.
General Mikhailovitch looks even younger
than his 48 years. With his rosy cheeks and
blue eyes, he could pose as model for the
Nordic Man. Behind his gold-rimmed spec
tacles. his eyes sometimes sparkle with mirth.
sometimes they flash with anger. He is gay
by nature and likes to crack jokes. 1t is no
secret either that he likes the Balkans

eral is fairly tall. and is less bony than the
typical mountaineer of his country.
The Shumadia district of the kingdom,
where he was born, has acquired great fame
for the number of celebrated patriots it has
produced. The dreaded BLACK Hand, which
practiced patriotism through terror, welcomed
the reckless youth into its ranks During the
First World War Lieutenant Mikhailovitch

the southeast of Europe. 1t was there that the
Allies cracked the supposedly invincible front

Detroit. Sept. 1O.-(UP)-The western All-Army football team to- day pointed toward its next contest against national professional league talent before creating further havoc in the pro ranks by beating the second play-for-pay club.
 Wallace Wade's western service squad put on brilliant perform ance from start to finish to smash the Detroit Lions, 1920, last night before a sellout crowd of more than 10000 in the University of Detroit stadium.
 The husky soldiers humbled the Lions with a 53-yard aerial thrust in the second period and 8 19-yard field goal and safety in thrilling final quarter that ended with the army again threatening to score.
 Private Kay Eakin, formerly of Arkansas and the New York Giants, unleashed the Army's offensive by tossing a perfect pass to Lieut.. Bill Conatser, Texas AS5M star, who caught the ball on the 35-yard line and eluded the Lions safety man for the games only touchdown.
 Looked Good
 After a scoreless third period, Jchn Kimbrough, All-American full- back from Texas A6SM, paced the soldiers to Detroit's 17-yard line. Lieut.. Bill Dawson, another Aggie representative, then booted per- feet field goal.
 The Army tailed again a few \ minutes later when Harry Hopp, Lions halfback, dropped pass from center in Detroit's end zone after the Lions had recovered an Army tumble on the five yard line.
 The Army outsmarted and out fought the Lions all the way, earn ing its second victory over pro team within four days. They downed the Chicago Cardinals, 16-l0 at Denver Sunday night after los- ing to the Washington Redskins at Los Angeles, Aug. IS.

Young of the Marines at Bogton in May Cochrane's last light.
 Tonight's bout, which Promotek Mike Jacobs expects to garneY about $33,000, will give a large part of the proceeds to the United Service or ganizations. Neither principal will make much of touch" Cochrang accepted the match only because he could hammer out 8 "couplg grand" for his father and mother to tide them over while he went where the Navy sent him. And tho Navy is sending the specialist, first class, to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on Saturday. He has already received his Pearl Harbor orders.
 Hence-win or lose-this may be Cochrane's last important fight for the duration. If the war lasts long enough, he may be forced to retire with the 147-pound crown.
 Big Chance
 Despite these war movements of the future, Cochrane tonight has the opportunity of proving to the boxing world that his victory in July, 1941, was no duke. That night when he wrested the 147-pound bOn- net from zivic at Newark, N. J., his victory was hailed as the greatest title upset since Jim Braddock took the heavyweight title from Maxie Baer in 1885. Most of the New York boxing writers went to the Newark bout merely flor the ride" Zivic was 9-1 favorite.
 But in that historic engagement, Cochrane clearly won the decision over zivic. No one had ever dis puted his claim to the crown until Cochrane declined to meet zivic in a return title bout or to defend the crown against Young Ray Robinson of Harlem-without $50,000 guar antee.
 Zivic is the 2-1 favorite because of his activity since losing the crown. Cochrane has had but three bouts. zivic is favored also because of his psychological impetus-his often and openly expressed desire to knock Cochrane "dead."
 have seen the fire in his eye. And
 We know that zivic is sharp; we we know that Cochrane is a bit ring rusty from lack of action. Hence. we predict that Zivic will turn the tables tonight and knock out Coch- rane.

United Press Staff Correspondent
 New York, Sept. 10-(UP)-The most bitter dispute in the history of the welterweight division will be settled tonight at Madison Square Garden when ex-Champion Fritzie zivic squares of against Freddie (ReO Cochrane of the Navy, world welterweight champion, in their non-title ten-rounder.
 Veteran Fritzle of Pittsburgh last of five fighting brothers-has been gunning for this chance to toss hard leather at Cochrane ever since Jersey Red won the 147- pound title from zivic on July 29, 1941, in laundering upset.
 zivic claims the had an iron clad" contract with Cochrane, under which the red-headed lad from Elizabeth, N. J., was bound to make quick return title defense against the pug-nosed battler from Pitts burgh.
 zivic claims that Cochrane never would live up to that contract and give him the return bout right of any losing champion. Zivic insists that he was given the run-around by Cochrane and his manager, Will lie Gilzenberg. Hence his bitterness.
 Points for K. o.
 Without disclosing any trade secrets, we can tell you that 29- year-old zivic hopes to belt out the red-headed sailor man at the earliest possible moment, and that he will use every questionable ma neuver in his Pittsburgh bag of tricks to accomplish it.
 zivic is the 2-1 favorite to win The smart-money boys of 49th Street established this price for reasons other than Fritzie's ready conversation. He had had IS fights since he dropped the title to Coch- rane. Moreover, during those Is bouts, Zivic knocked out Lew Jen- kins. Bobby Britton and Garvey Young. Those were the only three opponents whom Cochrane faced since winning the title. And Coch- rane decisinoned Jenkins and Brit ton and lost a disputed decision to
