tions are responding in big
way to this national appeal.
Tons of junk are pouring in as
an answer to the Japanese peril.
A nation that boasts it will die
tate peace on the lawn of the
White House should be taught,
without delay, the emptiness of
their rant. But, at the same
time, there is no mistaking the
strength of Japan, their ambi-
ton, their infinite trust in their
final conquest of the world. A
long with Germany they believe
they are the destined rulers of
all nations, a power delegated to
them by an ancestry of royal
blood dating back to ante-Chris-
tum days. With common ideas
as to their destiny, it is hard to
understand their fighting along
side of the war loving descend
ants Of Charlemagne-the I'M
speakable Huns.
The first page of today's IS
sue of the Democrat is large
ly devoted to calling attention
to the campaign on hand to fur
nish iron and steel for guns,
bombs, tanks, and ships. We
counsel the people to come to a
realization as soon as possible,
of the dire need of food for the
furnaces. There is an absolute
peril facing us. Were it other
wise, there would be no thought
OF the destruction of bridges
the tearing down of historic
fences; the melting of brazen
statues; the leveling of memoir
ial monuments.
We advise a careful noting of
the date when collections will be
made. Search every nook and
crany for what will aid the boys
to victory and bring back from
Europe an assurance of demo-
safety; and, in addition,
a world free for centuries to
come from the mad incursions
of War-crazed peoples.

Rural America is threatened with

goes up in smoke at every fire. That
means loss of buildings, equipment,

minor matters with some bad boys

with the Colonel. Easy money had

these materials are not available for

A fire doesn't just happen. Some
thing starts it, oftentimes careless
ness. And in war time there is the
added hazard of firebugs who want to
impede the war effort by burning
buildings and equipment that can't
be replaced.
Every Worcester County farmer
can help the war effort by cleaning
up fire hazards around his farm and
buildings. Farmers should also be
ready to put out fires as soon as they
start.
When they are contacted with a
check list of things they can do to
be ready and a list of fire hazards
they can eliminate, county farmers
should give their full cooperation.
Mr.. Grant urges them to fill out the
check lists carefully and post a copy
in a conspicuous place as constant
reminder. He also urges all farmers
to clean up all fire hazards and to
be in readiness to put out fires as
soon a sthey start. By doing so,
they will save life, save materials
and help win the war.

U. S. PUBLIC
HEALTH SERVICES
FOR JOB WORKERS
Health Measures To Keep Job
Safe Are Illustrated By
Series OF Small Posters

Health measures that will help to
keep a manor woman, likewise
on their respective jobs, are graph
ically illustrated in a series of small
posters received at the State Depart
ment of Health from the U. S. Pub
lie Health Service, for use in connec-
ton with the health promotion ser
vices of the Division Of Industrial
Health, of the Department.
Each of them shows a husky de-
tense worker following out the keep
ing fit suggestions in the picture.
In calling attention to them DR.. R.
H. Riley, Director of the Department,
said that except for specific precau-
tionary advice with regard to meas
ures against accidents in industry,
the points brought out in the posters
are just as applicable to other civil
ians as to defense workers, and to
women as we'll as to men, young and
old, in all walks of life.
Here is the list as summarized and
by DR.. Riley, of the
that if practiced regularly
will help to keep a manor wo-
man; a growing girl, or a growing
boy, in school, or at work-on the
job.
Clean dry clothes.
Healthy skin; personal cleanliness;
a good scrub all over, with plenty of
soap and water.
Fun and recreation, in "times off. :"
For defense workers, and workers
in all kinds of industries, habitual use
Of masks and other protective devices.
Safety first precautions, in homes
as we'll as in industry; prompt use of
'first aid"
Goods that count; wholesome,

Plenty of sleep.
Regular physical check-ups; medi-
cal examinations and

EXTENSION OF
ROTARIANISM
IN SNOW HILL
Delegation Meets Snow Hill
Citizens To Discuss Feasibil-
ity Of Club In Co. Seat

A delegation consisting of 10 mem
bers of the local Rotary club met Is
of the leading citizens of Snow Hill
and community on Friday evening
to discuss the probability of the or
eanization of a club in that city.
Joseph Merritt, of Dundalk, Cover
nor of the 180th District, Rotary In
ternational, was present, and in a
very forcible and attractive way eX-
planned just what Rotarianism stands
for, and then presented the matter
for open expression of opinion.
The result of the meeting showed
a very fair number of those present
were in favor of a club in Snow Hill,
and some were not so favorable.
There seemed to be a hesitation on
the part of some because of the in
fluence it might have on the welfare
of the Civic Club, very popular or
ganization in Snow Hill.
Governor Merritt assured them
Rotary Clubs are always ready to act
in cooperation with other service
clubs; and rather than working a
gainst the Civic Club, would work
with them in any effort to benefit
a community.
There was no organization effect
ed that evening but another meeting
was called for this Friday evening,
in Snow Hill, when something more
definite may be decided upon.
The meeting last week was held in
the Bates Memorial Church where a
dinner was served by the ladies.

When Herb Kopf brings the Mad

to lick the school he once helped
Lou Little raise to the football
heights and on the opposite side of
the field will be a couple of his
former pupils, Jack Hagerty and

to hang one on him.
Kopf, moreover, has a former Hoya
quarterback as his assistant in
Johnny Scalzi. who was teammate
of "Mush" Dudofsky, Hagerty's line
coach.

Kopf's first coaching job was at
Georgetown. He arrived at the Hill
top with an enviable reputation as
an end, acquired at Washington and
Jefferson, and was Little's aide in
molding one of the most powerful
football teams ever to wear the Blue
and Gray. In addition to Hagerty
and Murtagh, the team included
Babe Connaughton, all-America
tackle, and Tony Plansky, a great
trackman who could have been one
of the Easts best backs had he had
more than passing interest in the
grid game.
That team swept through season
to nine victories in 10 starts, bowling
only to Bucknell in the mud by a
80 count, but conquering mighty
Fordham by a 27-0 count at the
Polo Grounds in one of the seasons S
most violent upsets. Georgetown
that year ranked fifth on the list Of
the Nations leading scorers.
In his sophomore and junior years
Scalzi battled Joe Gardner, now
Georgetowns graduate manager Of
athletics, for the regular quarter
