An outstanding corn yield of
1908 bushels per acre won the
caster County in the 1912 National
DeKalb hybrid corn growing contest.
Officials of this biggest corn yield
competition reported that over

Surprise Daylight
Alerts And
BlackOuts

More surprise daylight alerts and
blackouts are contemplated during
the month of December, Col. Henry
S. Barrett has announced. Authori-
cation of the Third Service Com
mand has been requested.
In making this announcement
Col. Barrett stated "mannounced
tests are the only means of detecting
our true state of preparedness. Only
through these surprise simulated
emergencies can we ascertain our
weaknesses and make provisions
for correction"
He continued, "the recent bril-
liant victories Of our armed forces
give no justification for the hope
that the war will not be long and
bitter. This is no time to relax. We
must not build on hopes, but only
on continued vigilance and in the
discharge of our duties will be found
safety and security"
Remember that although Hit
ler's war machine may be somewhat
weakened, it is still intact. Remem-
Der that his long-range bombers can
strike us at any time, if only in
desperation. His villainy is mat
ter of record-let us not be fooled.
Any let-down now would create an
opportunity for another Pearl
Harbor."
Col. Barrett highly praised the
work Of the Civilian, Defense organss
izatfonsr throughout the State and
the wholehearted cooperation of the
people of Maryland in the previous
tests. He urged that this same spirit
prevail until complete victory is
won.
A surprise alert was sounded
Tuesday morning between ten and
eleven O'Clock, and was of about if
teen minutes duration. Air Wardens
went on duty stopping all traffic on
the highways and seeing that all
pedestrians got off the streets DUR
ing the duration of the alert.

Snow Squalls And
Low Temperatures

Thursday afternoon between the
hours of three and four o'clock, two
furious snow squalls blew in blan-
keting the ground with white for the
first time this fall. The squalls were
both of short duration but unusually
violent, the swirling snow complet-
ely blotting out the landscape for a
time. Following each squall the sun
shone brightly, but the temperature
went down from SO degrees to rs
degrees by night fall.
Low temperatures continued Fri
day and Saturday, the mercury
touching 16 degrees Saturday, freez-
ing ponds and small streams and
bringing the first skating of the
season.
Snow fell early Sunday morning,
covering the ground to the depth
of about an inch.
Still more snow fell on Wednes-
day morning, and it begins to look
like an old time winter.

OLD SUSQUEHANNA
BRIDGE GOING
TO SCRAP HEAP

The Democratic Ledger reports
that all the protests made by resi-
dents and business men Of Havre
de Grace in opposition to the razing
of the old double-decker bridge have
gone for naught, as the contractors
have a force of men tearing down
the old landmark. The metal will
go for scrap for our armed forces.
II has been estimated the cost of
salvaging the iron and steel down
to the top of the piers will be $140,-
900, and the tonnage will be about
$4,000. The bridge was built by the
Pennsylvania Railroad Co. nearly
100 years ago, and has had re-
markable history, having been used
as vehicular bridge for over thirty
years. When first converted to a
drive bridge, 1t was given the name
of the Gold Mine Bridge, because
it's owners were practically given
the bridge and the charge was 800
for crossing. Later the state pur-
chased it at a cost of $585,000, and
Immediately double decked it, using
the lower level for southbound
traffic and the upper deck for north
bound.
The state continued to collect toll
and in five years the cost of adding
the upper deck and approaches, to-
gether with interest on bonds, was
paid and the bridge was made toll
free.
The bridge was closed to traffic
except for pedestrians when the new
highway bridge was opened in Aug
ust, 1910.

Buy Seals

buy Christmas seals to help con-
quer tuberculosis" DR.. r. H. Riley
Director of the State Department OF
Health, urges. "The 36th Annual
Christmas Seal Campaign, which is
now under way, gives everybody a
chance to join battle against this
enemy. Whether you can spare sew
eral dollars OF only few cents for
the purchase of seals, by all means
take some part.
'In 1912, when the health of each
citizen has taken on new importance
to the welfare of nation at war, the
fight against tuberculosis is even
more important than in other
years." DR.. Riley says. I'VE must
press the battle on. If we relax our
vigilance the white plague may
make new gains and undermine the
health of the civilian population.
This years seal depicts a snow
scene suggestive of the old fashion
ed Merry Christmas that many of us
would like to preserve. 1t also bears,
symbolic of the fight againt tubercu-
losis, ITO remind you that in buying
it you help your community to bet

I'm this State the sale of Christ
mas seals is directed by the Mary
land tuberculosis Association, and
proceeds are used for the proven.
ton, diagnosis and Treatment OF the
disease. Particular emphasis is plac-
ed on case-finding and early treat
ment, because tuberculosis can be
cured more promptly and more eff

ely with the anti-tuberculosis work
of the State Department of Health
