Practice Black Out

The first practise countrywide
blackout was held in Cecil County at
nine O'Clock Tuesday night. AS far
as our town of Rising Sum was con-
cerned the blackout appears to have
been a success, all our residents CO.
operating one hundred per cent. The
only false note was the auto traffic
over Route /, through town. No
less than nine autos went through
town during the ten minute period,
with glaring headlights shining

mythical enemy planes. During the
blackout period an airplae did fly
over the town.

Explosive Code
New Rules Will Control
Use Of Explosives
In Maryland

Insurance Commissioner John B.
Centrum announced yesterday that
rules and regulations governing ex-
plosives have been issued pursuant
to the power granted to the Insur-
ance Commissioner by the Act OF
1941.
The regulations as provided by
the statute have been filed with the
Bureau of Legislative Reference,
and will become law within twenty
days from the date of filing.
Mr.. Centrum explained that the
rules have been prepared after
many conferences with the explo-
siye engineers and experts and in
cooperation with the explosive users
of Maryland. He stated that the reg
ulations fill long standing need
for the control of the handling,
transportation and storage of explo-
sives in Maryland outside of Balti-
more City, and are particularly i'm
portant during the war emergency.
Fireworks Rules
1t was under the same authority
that rules controlling fireworks
were issued, the enforcement of
which resulted in the reduction of
the Fourth of July casualties from
3O7 in 1910 to II in 1941.
Mr.. Centrum further stated that
the Insurance Department will
have copies available at the expira-
ton of the twenty day period for
distribution among those interested
in explosive regulations.
Electrical Wiring
Regulations governing installa-
ton of electrical wiring were fled
with the Bureau of Legislative Ref
erence sometime ago by the Insur-
ance Commissioner, and copies are
now being prepared for general dis
tribution.
Heretofore Maryland has had no
electrical code, and it is believed
that the enforcement of the new
electrical regulations. will do much
toward cutting Maryland losses
from fire.

ducers and distributors for added
costs resulting from conversion of
distilleries to war work.
OPA said the advance would de-
pend on the type of product, but
that blends using neutral spirits
would reflect increased cost of more
expensive high proof alcohol.
Straight whisky prices would not
increase, officials said, except to re-
fleet any increase in taxes.
OPA emphasized that it was i'm
possible to determine the exact
amount of the price rise on distilled
