Only Healthy People
Should Handle Babies

ONE of the most important
" things a mother can do to
keep her baby healthy is to prevent
his coming in close contact with
anyone who has an infectious dis
ease.
He should be prevented not only
from the usually communicable dis
eases of childhood such as diptheria,
scarlet fever, measles, chicken pox,
and whooping cough, but the unde-
tected infections that can be COM
municated even when the carrier
does not know that he or she has
them. Only healthy people, DR..
Josephine Kenyon warns in the No
vember issue of Good Housekeeping
magazine should handle baby.
This means, DR.. Kenyon says, not
only the mother, father, brothers,
sisters and other relatives, but the
permanent and temporary helpers in
your home as we'll - anyone who
handles the baby, his clothing or
linen or his food. A trained baby's
nurse will undoubtedly have had a
complete physical examination, and
her health can be assured by the
hospital, but a thorough check-up
on the health of any part-time helper
should be made.
DR.. Kenyon suggests that you talk
with the applicant for the job in a
friendly way and explain that you
wish to have around your baby only
healthy individuals. The best way
to be sure of that is by medical ex-
animation. Has she had one recent
ly? If so, would she mind asking her
doctor to give her card saying that
she is free from communicable dis
eases. If not, then explain the value
of health examination = for her
self as well as for the baby's pro-
lection.

ELECT CRAVEN
NEW NYA HEAD
Newly : Elected Chairman, to
Follow DIR. John Shilling
of Dover
OUTLOOK DISCUSSED

j. Donald Craven was elected
chairman of the Delaware State
Advisory Council of the National
Youth Administration to succeed
Dr. John Shilling of Dover, at a
meeting at the NYA offices, New
Castle, Wednesday. Problems per-
tanning to the future outlook of the
NYA were discussed. DR.. Shilling
has been actively interested in the
National Youth Administration
program for this state since its in
auguration in 1886. Mr.. Craven, an
attorney, became a member of the
council last year. Following dis
custom of the possibilitiesbf NYA
it was decided to have the council
members prepare QUESTIONABLE
with view of informing U. S. Sen
ators James M. Tunnel and James
H. Hughes and U. S. Rep. Philip A.
Traynor of the result. The council
members will be sent question
Inaires relative to whether the var
ious phases of the NYA program
should be continued; whether the
entrance of the United States into
the war makes the NYA program
more or less important at present,
and what are the needs of the
youth in the community to permit
them to make full contributions to
winning the war. Clarence E.
Keyes, state administrator, outlined
the activities of the agency since
July 1, 1941, and Miss Pearl Nc
Donald, state nutritionist, Univer-
sity of Delaware, submitted re-
port and spoke of the war garden

SUGAR SUPPLY
NOW DEPLETED
Critical Shortage of Sugar at
Salisbury, Md, Due to
HOarderS
REFINERIES CLOSED

Salisbury wholesalers reported a
critical shortage of sugar, with lit
tie likelihood that sufficient sup
plies would be available before ra-
tioning is begun. Any sugar re-
ceived before then will be only a
drop in the bucket" because of the
false demand created by panic buy
ing, they explained. The outloog
for sufficient sugar is described as
bright after rationing begins.
Grinding of sugar cane was begun
in Cuba about January Is, and
normally would have been received
in the United States by February l..
The Cuban production is reported
above original estimates. Shipping
restrictions have brought relays in
shipments and the adoption of the
federal rationing plan is creating
an additional time interval before
sugar can be put on the market.
Refineries Closed
The refineries have been closed
for more than a week while await
ing shipments. Their officials, I'M
der wartime censorship of shipping
news, will have no idea of when
their supplies will be received until
ships actually dock. Publication of
boarding regulations in connection
with sugar rationing has eliminated
boarding at Salisbury to some ex-
tent. Wholesalers said some retail
stores have received sugar from
hoarders who have returned their
stocks. A check of Salisbury stores
showed not one pound of sugar was
available. The shortage even ex-
tended to brown and confectioner's
sugar.

sementerie, the groom wearing the

Rosa Smith, of st. Georges, was
the bridesmaid, and Harry Buck
son, the grooms brother, was best
man. Many handsome and useful
presents were received from the
many friends of the contracting
parties. After the impressive cere-
mony, refreshments were served
and the gathering dispersed, wish
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Buckson years of
welded bliss. They will make their

Atlantic Coast Line R.R. Orders 1000
Freight Cars to Meet War Requirements

order to Keep EN- Rolling" There
are no freight car builders located
on the rails of the Atlantic Coast
Line. and. ordinarily, when new
freight car equipment is ordered,
the new cars must be hauled empty
from the builders plant for deliv-
cry on the rails OF the Atlantic
Coast Line, thus resulting In sub
stantial empty car-miles and empty
car-days. However, in view of the
emergency now existing. the Allan
tic Coast Line has departed from
the usual practice. and has agreed
for the cars to be loaded into sery-
ice Immediately upon leaving the
builders plants, thus Immediately
contributing the cars to the nation
al freight car service pool. thereby
avoiding empty car-miles" and
empty car-days," even though the
result is that in many instances
the new cars are considerably de-
layed in actually reaching their
owners rails.
Modern Type Equipment
The orders for new freight car
equipment described above by no
means represent the full extent by
which the Atlantic Coast Lines eff
ficiency as a carrier of freight has
been improved. Concurrently with
its program of purchase of new
equipment, the Atlantic Coast Line
has carried on in its own shops a
program of rebuilding and repair
ing existing equipment to make
that equipment more suitable for
present-day requirements.
The cars rebuilt by the Atlantic
Coast Line and converted into
equipment of modern type have
been termed by many the equal in
every respect of new cars. There
fore, the Atlantic Coast Lines re-
cent orders for new freight car
equipment, combined with its re-
building program, will, at the end
of 1912, have resulted in putting
into service total of nearly 10000

2% Year Total Now 10000
New and Rebuilt
Freight Cars

WILMINGTON, N. c. The At
lantic Coast Line Railroad Company
has just placed orders for 1000 new
freight train cars for delivery dur
ing second and third quarters OF
1912, as announced here today by
c. Med. Davis, Executive Vice
President. The order was divided
as to various types as follows: l,loo
Double-Door Box Cars tof the type
known as "auto-box"). 400 Hopper
Coal Cars. 200 Gondolas tHigh
Side), 100 Gondolas = Drop End
(High Side), 100 Phosphate Rock
Cars, 100 Flat Cars.
This new order for 1000 cars
closely follows order placed last
May for 1880 freight train cars,
which cars are now being deliy-
cred, about half the order having
been received with additional cars
being turned out of builders plants
daily. The May, 1941. order In turn
closely followed order placed in
August, 1910, for 1888 new freight
cars, deliveries of which were eff
fected during the closing months of
1910 and the early months of 194l.
Therefore, the two earlier order
combined with today's order repre-
sent total of 6,623 new freight cars
ordered by the Atlantic Coast Line
during the past eighteen months,
deliveries of which began approx
mately fourteen months ago. That
is a total of 6,623 freight cars.
The orders just placed for 1000
new freight cars are further evil

MORE LICENSES
 OUT THAN EVER
Connecticut Has Regis. tered Nearly as Many
 Cars This Year as Last

Despite federal restrictions re- garding motor vehicle use and countryside decrease in motor ve- hicle registrations, Connecticut had registered nearly as many cars up to November 10 as up to that date last year and had issued more H. censes than last year, according to Commissioner John T, Mccarthy of the State Department of Motor Ve- hicles.
 "As of November 10 this year." Commissioner Mccarthy said, "562,- ie4 motor vehicles had been regis tered by our department aS com pared with 563,6l6. The decrease of 1882 units represents a fraction of one per cent less business. We consider this volume of registration truly remarkable in view Of the sweeping federal restrictions TO- garding sales of l942 models, husi- ness in new cars being practically wiped out as compared with former years.
 "As of the same date this year, November 10, the department had Issued 6i4,7e operators licenses as compared with ei0,962 up to the same date last year, an Increase of 3,s2s.
 The revenue from combined reg iStrations and licenses issued this year up to November 10 was $7,- 800, ,824,9i as compared to $7,7Sl,- 263.22 up to the same date in l94l, drop Of about two per cent,
 In commenting further on this phase of the business recorded by the Department of Motor Vehicles this year, Commissioner Mccarthy pointed out that 8 recent statement of the National Automobile Dealers association emphasized 4,6 per cent decrease In passenger car reg istrations throughout the country as of October l, This report covered 34 states reporting to the NADA,
 Tn Connecticut, the commission CT emphasized, passenger car regis trations on october l of this year were ahead of the same date last year. The reason for this increase, in the opinion Of Commissioner Me- Carthy, is the influx of automobile owners Into the state, attracted by remuneratlve positions in connecti- cuts many war.etfort industries.
 Even the receipts from the gaso- Ire tax, affected by arbitrary fed- eral restrictions on motor vehicle use, were holding up well consider Ing the situation, according to the commissioner who stated that the @, 2Si, ,3e0.66 certified to the state treasurer for the first nine months of isa2, was but 20.2 per cent less than for the same period last year, Tn view of the rather severe cur tailment in gasoline allotment eX- perienced In Connecticut this year lhls decrease was not as great as generally anticipated.
