The absence of decimal point in
the figures we published last week,
of the Treasurer's report to the Town
Meeting made it appear that there
was large sum of unsolicited town
taxes. Our figures read with $1847
in outstanding taxes" The item of
outstanding taxes should have read
"$18.47." Quite difference that
little decimal point makes. The Urea
surer informs us that since his report
to the town meeting was made the
item of outstanding taxes has been
paid, so that the town tax collection
is now one hundred per cent. He pur-
Their states that this has been the
record of town tax collections for
some years past-100 %-not bad,
and we will venture the assertion,
better than most towns in this re-
spect.

Tractor Burned

George Cox met with serious loss
by fire shortly before the noon hour
on Monday. He had just filled the
tank of his tractor with gasoline and
the machine had been driven but a
short distance from the barn, on his
farm near town, when it caugt fire.
Members of the Rising Sun Fire Co.,
were soon on the scene with an en-
CINE, but the tractor was practically
ruined before the flames could be
extinguished. Most farmers will ap-
preciate just what the loss of trac-
tor means at this particular time,
when Spring farm work has been de-
layed so long by wet weather and
scarcity of labor.

Commercial Use
Of Red Cross Sym
boil Banned

The y. S. Senate has reafirmed
action denying manufacturing con-
Germs use of the trademark symbol
RED Cross
The legislation was suggested to
Congress in message of the Presi-
dent in 1912, and was designed to
more effectively carry out the obli-
cation of the United States under the
Red Cross Convention of 1929.
The legislation affects many medi-
cal supplies as well as shoes, food
and other merchandise. The action
of the Senate will mean hundreds of
firms and business concerns which
have used the Red Cross symbol since
the Red Cross was incorporated will
have to find other trademark SYM
bols.
Charles B. Silver & Son, Havre de
Grace, who purchased the canning
interests of the late S. j. Seneca. has
used the Red Cross symbol on canned
goods for 68 years.

Traffic Accidents
In Maryland
During March
Increase Is Shown Over
Preceding Month And
March Of Last Year

There were 1920 traffic accidents
reported in the State during the
month of March, with 5S7 persons
injured and 29 killed. This was an
increase in accidents, injuries and
deaths over both the preceding
month and March of last year.
The fatality reduction for this year
is now only $50 under 1943, while
for the first two months it was 16 %
under 1943.
Baltimore City reported 8 fatal
ties and 395 injured in 789 accidents
while the counties reported FL ia
talities and 1872 injured in 1922 acct
dents. Two of the county fatalities
occurred in the suburban areas OF
Baltimore and T occurred in Fredler-
lex. The other Is occurred on the
open highways.
There was a notable decrease in
pedestrian fatalities during t h e
month, which was Offset, however,
by an increase in grade crossing &C.
cidents which claimed 4 lives in two
accidents-an obvious shift in re-
sponsibility from pedestrian to driv-
err
During the first three months of
this year there has been reported an
average of 100 accidents, 544 in
juries and rs deaths per month,
which equaled or surpassed the Mary
land casualties sustained in the war
during the same period
The Maryland Traffic Safety Com
mission takes this opportunity to give
a few DON'TS to the motorists of
Maryland-Don't be one of those mo-
florists who, by refusing the courtesy
of dimming your lights, causes a
serious accident Don't be one of
those who starts with rush as soon
as the traffic light changes and leaves
pedestrians stranded in the inter-
section. Don't be one of those who
ignore stop signs or always demand
the right-of-way because you think
the other fellow wOsA't risk q, crash.
Instead, BE COURTEOUS; you will
receive dividends in COURTE Y
from others and YOU may also pre-
vent serious accident. This attitude
will do much toward accomplishing
real safety. By observing these few
DON'TS you will be making con-
siderable contribution to the WAR
EFFORT-by not observing them
you will be supporting the AXIS,
because it will mean the destruction
of vital materials such as automotive
equipment and the loss of man-power
through injury or death.

BATTLE WITH JAP
BEETLE TURNING

DIR. George s. Langford Cites Gains
In Hartford, Cecil, And Kent Areas
Maryland's war on the japanese
beetle with the use of milky white
disease tale and traps is being grad
ually won, according to DR.. George
S. Lahgford, specialist in insect con-
troll at the University of Maryland.
DR.. Langford, who outlined this
years program against the pests, re-
vealed that infestation has noticeably
declined in several areas where they
were particularly destructive, includ-
ing Hartford Cecil and Kent counties.
In the Cecil area where the infes-
tation one year wrought thousands
of dollars damage to all kinds of
crops, a systematic campaign was
waged last year, with various areas
blocked out as proving ground" for
the milky white experiment.
The decline in infestation by the
insects was attributed by the Uni
versity of Maryland specialist mainly
to the three-part program of beetle
control, establishment of beetle dis
ease (the distribution of parasites
which feed on beetle larvae) and the
trapping of the beetles.
In the four year period from 1889
through 1912, Maryland produced
and distributed more than $4,000
pounds of milky white disease tale
out of total of 64,132 pounds Of
tho tale made in II northpaefarn
states and the District of Columbia.
Last year an additional 10000
pounds of the tale was distributed
in the state. For distribution this
year, 1000 pounds of the tale al
ready has been produced and the
manufacture of an additional 1000
pounds is planned.
