Motorists who do not use all the
units of their gasoline rationing
cards before July 1 will not be
'penalized" when they apply fol
new cards under the permanent ra-
tioning system.
That assurance has been given,
the Keystone Automobile Club said
yesterday, by Joel Dean, Chief OF
the Fuel Rationing Branch, Office
of Price Administration. In urging
motorists not to try to Give up" to
their gas ration, but to stay under
it to save both gasoline and tires,
Mr.. Dean, in statement received
by the Club, said:
Under no circumstances will
such saving result in penalties for
the card holder, or place him under
any disadvantage when he applies
for new card.
cit is intended that a card hold
er shall not spend a single unit OF
his ration merely to Justify his
need for that card. Rather, it is
hoped he will save as many units
as possible by eliminating unneces-
sary miles.

Bike Thief Held
ssMeanest Thief

Another "meanest thief bobbed
up in Elkton Monday, swiping a
bicycle that a patriotic druggist was
using to save gasoline and rubber
for the victory cause.
Poague Paxson, owner of a cut
rate drug store had been using his
bicycle religiously since the gaso-
line rationing went into effect, to
make the necessary trips between
his home and his place of business.
He left the machine parked in
front of his business place Saturday
night. Tired after hard day at the
store he closed up for the night and
was ready for spin home when he
discovered the bicycle was missing.
The theft has been reported to
Sheriff Randolph, but no trace of
the bike has yet been found.

Camp cambridge
Development

Parents, in and around Port De-
post, with twenty-year old daugh-
ter are fretting and stewing over
the prospects of 10000 sailors NOV
ing in on what was the Tome School
property and adjacent land recently
condemned by the Government.
Port Deposit and a part of the
Seventh district is undergoing
change. Recent notice to move and
sales within a short period have
evacuated number of families who
have lived there for many years.
Among those who have located else
where is DR.. c. I. Benson to Aiken;
Miss Marian Hopkins to st. Marks
Church; Walter Todd to the Hite
Farm; DR.. Anderson to Liberty
Grove and Miss Lucy Clapp to Balti-
more.
The 1000 acres property acquir-
ed by condemnation without SETTLE
ment has been fenced and trucking
companies are unloading day and
niht large piles of lumber for bar
rack construction. The narrow street
of Port Deposit is jammed with
traffic as construction gangs hurry
back and forth to make ready for
a naval training base which will be
opened in part about July /.
Every available room is taken in
the river town; Railways are filed
with cots and many workers crowd
four to room in what was former
a town where rooms and houses
were available most anytime. The
restaurants are doing land Office
business.
According to the best estimates
about $25O,00O of assessable prop
erty will be deleted from the tax
books of Cecil County, a sum which
must be made up in other places.
Last week one of the main roads
from Port Deposit to Battleswamp
was ordered closed while it is the
plan to close the Perryville-Port
highway leaving the Foundry-Hol-
low and Liberty Grove the only
means of entering the town.
A sewer disposal plant is to be
built on the site and refuge to be
piped and emptied into the Chesa-
peake below Perry Point. A hos
pital of 1000 beds is to be construct
ed, it is said, on what is known as
the Bond farm. We are advised
that five movie houses will enter
tain the sailors when the plant gets
in full swing.
The new training station will be
called cambridge for Comm. Will
liam cambridge, U. S. Navy, who
served with distinction in three
wars but is perhaps best known for
his service in action in 1912. The
Tome site is one of three new sta
lions for sailor instruction.

RUBBER COLLEC-
TION JUNE 1880

The period from June 18th to
June Goth has been proclaimed
Maryland Scrap Rubber Collection
PERIOD, by Governor Herbert r.
O'Conor, in furtherance of the cam
paign announced by President
Roosevelt.
EVERY gasoline station on the
East Coast, the Governor made
known, "will Immediately become a
collection center for scrap rubber in
answer to the Presidents request
for short, fast, thorough cam
paign to collect all the scrap rub
Der in the United States.
EVERY man, woman and child in
the country is being asked to coop
crate by Immediately searching
their homes, yards, and garages for
every available piece of scrap rub
Der and Immediately turning it into
their nearest gasoline station.
"More than 800 of the worlds
sources of natural rubber have fall
len into the hands of Japan. This
has brought about critical rubber
shortage in the United States, which
threatens not only severe curtail-
ment of civilian transportation but
also military production of planes,
tanks, guns and hundreds of other
implements of war requiring rub
Der.
''The objective of the plan is to
gather every pound of scrap rubber
in homes and commercial establish
ments and from any other place
where it may be found. Every house
holder and commercial establish
ment is being asked to round UP all
discarded boots and overshoes, hot
water bottles, tennis shoes, rubber
betting, rubber gloves, rubber sheet
ing, pads and mating, raincoats,
rubber heels, bathing caps, jar
rings, plumbers suction caps, rub
Der ash trays and any of the hun
dreds of other articles containing
rubber, In fact, anything except rub
Der checks, for which no legitimate
use has yet been found. They should
be turned in Immediately to the
nearest gasoline station.

in connection with butter and
cheese factory located at Concord,
Pa. The Rising Sun plant produced
evaporated milk at first and after

duct. AS the business grew in
volume it soon absorbed all the
small local creameries and within
a few years changed this section
into quite a dairy neighborhood,
using the product of about 5000
cows.
Sharpless & Co. was absorbed by
Sheffield Farms Co. which had
many similar plants in New York
