Red Cross Opens New
First-Aid Station in
Rock Creek Park
Emergency Center
Will Be Used Also
By Park Police

A new Red Gross first-aid station
was opened at Military road and
Beach drive in Rock Greek Park
yesterday as an emergency service
for the thousands of persons who
use the park facilities during the
summer. It is located in a pic
turesque setting, with prominently
displayed sign advising the public
that it is both first-aid station
and Park Police headquarters.
The new station, manned by a
Red Cross volunteer staff, will be
open from 1:30 pm. to 8 pm. Sat-
urdays and from 10 am. to pm.
Sundays during July and August.
A large room in the stone build
ing has been converted into an
emergency center and is equipped
with table, cot. stretcher, stationary
first-aid kits. hand kits and other
equipment. In case of air raids, it
would be useful as an emergency
treatment center.
Tribute Paid to Mrs. Noyes.
Irving c. Root, National Capital
Parks superintendent turned the
key of the Red Cross station over
to John w. Gates of the District
Red Gross safety and accident pre-
vention division.
Both Mr.. Root and Mr.. Gates paid
tribute to Mrs. Frank B. Noyes for
her "civic spirit and the leadership
she displayed in bringing about the
establishment of this needed sta
tion." They expressed regret that
Mrs. Moves could not be present for
the simple ceremony symbolizing the
Red Cross spirit of serving hui
manity. They emphasized that the
first-aid station represents the
fruition of plans conceived and ad-
vocated by Mrs. Moves.
There were approximately so seri-
Gus accidents in the park last year,
Supt Root pointed out. Equestrians
were knocked from their horses by
collision with tree branches and
children cut their feet while wading
in the creek. Others were hurt
climbing steep banks or at play, Mr.
1kOOO odlQ.
| Victims of automobile accidents in
the park heretofore have been taken
to the nearest hospital, but this type
of injury henceforth can be given
emergency treatment at the Red
Cross first-aid station while an am
bulance is en- route to the scene
it was pointed out.
100000 Use Park.
During the summer about 900, ,000
persons will use the park, it was
said On an average Sunday, Mr.
Root said, approximately 100000
persons take advantage of the park S
facilities.
Mr.. Gates expressed apprecia-
ton to the volunteer staff who
under the direction of Dudley Bah
cock, will serve at the new sta
ton. Mr. Babcock said August H
Hanson of the Park Service, who is
also a Red Cross flrst-aid instruc.
| tor, performed valuable services ir
making the installations at the new
station
Every park policeman and guard L
trained in first-aid work, Mr.. Roo1
emphasized.

NeIO Sign-Up Plan
For Civilian Defense
Persons Now Being Regis
tered At Former Ration I
ing Headquarters

Have you registered for civilian
defense yet? On Monday at the Of
fee recently used by the Rationing
Board next to the Plaza Theatre,
this registration began. This new
signing up" is considered a very
important measure by the State
Council of Defense and if there is
not good response from the town
citizens there may have to be an
other way of getting it done. This
registery places persons in group
of workers for which they are best
fitted, and they only are called in
case of an emergency or following
bombing or other forms of destruc-
tion. 1t is hoped that there will
never be such an emergency, but
being prepared is everyone's watch
word these days and that is why
registration seems important.
Please stop in at the above named
Office and a very gracious lady will
help you fill out your card, which
brings sense of satisfactor to
you and you will be helping with
this effort by your cooperation.

During the Civil War tobacco
growing in Sussex county was COM
mon. Nearly every farmer produced
enough for home use, but they had
a crude way of curing" it. No at
tempt ever was made to grow it on
an extensive scale because the far
mers were not equipped with dry
ing barns, cutting machinery and
did not know the art of housing
and seasoning 1t for commercial
purposes. They found that they
could realize more money from
growing small fruits and vegetables
than turning their attention to to-
bacco, with the consequent heavy
outlay of money for equipment to
enter into the business. All of this,
perhaps, was because they knew but
little about the crop and the way it
was produced in the southern
states.
Government officials, it is said,
are convinced that tobacco can be
grown on a commercial scale in
Delaware and the Eastern Shore of
Maryland. The Delmarva Peninsula
lies between Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania and there is no reason, it is
stated, why the crop could not be
produced in this section.
