Health assistant. On Tuesday
morning, however, it was reported
that Miss Morris definitely did not
have infantile paralysis.
Little Known of Disease
According to the National
Foundation of Infantile Paralysis,
there is nothing known to medical
science that can prevent epidemics
of this terrible crippler, or that can
bring epidemics to halt once they
start. A survey by the Founda-
ton has revealed that while only
rarely is any one place visited by
an epidemic in two successive
years, there are almost no locales
that have not been visited and re-
visited by outbreaks during the
past fifteen years. While there is
no age group entirely free infantile
paralysis is most common in chill
dren between the ages of one and
ten years. Although medical sci
ence faces the stubborn fact that
as yet adequate means of preven-
ton or cure are not at hand, great
forward strides have ben taken in
the development of treatment
methods so that recovery is posi-
BILE.

Ten persons from Wilmington
were rescued early Monday morn
ing after being marooned for more
than IL hours aboard a small fish

rudder brooke at sunset Sunday
night. With the aid of the others
he managed to propel the boat by
using boards over the side, until it
reached haven in the marsh be-
tween Woodland Beach and Smyr-
ma Creek. When the boat did not
return to Woodland Beach later
that night members of the families
and friends of those on the boat
became worried and notified the
Coast Guard. A Coast Guard res
cue ship searched for the boat, but
did not find it until after it had
been towed into Woodland Beach
by an oyster boat belonging to
Harry Blendt, innkeeper of Wood
land Beach, and Charles FAIRIES,
also of Woodland Beach. Accord
ing to Mr.. Booth, no one in the
boat suffered severely from ex-
posture to the cold. There was no
difficulty, he said, after the boat
got into the marsh from the rough
waters of the bay.

To Aid Farmers, Dairy
men to Rebuild
TO BE GIVEN PRIORITIES

AS the hurricane-swept coastal
areas of Sussex County and parts
of Kent began to recover from the
effects of Thursdays storm, the
Delaware Red Cross with the as
sistance of the Delaware office of
the War Production Board took
steps towards helping farmers,
dairymen and residents to obtain
priorities for rebuilding, as soon as
possible. William B. Russell, ex-
ecutive assistant to the chairman
of the Delaware chapter, and Hor-
ace White, senior district priority
officer of the WPB in Wilmington,
have set up headuarters in the
heart of the hurricane-damaged
territory.
Priority Ratings
They will remain on duty until
all their work is finished. When
owners of property that was dam
aged appeal to Mr.. Russell he will
examine the ruins and certify as to
the need of repairs. Then, Mr..
White as the WPB representative
will give immediate priority rat
ings. In this way, Delaware Red
Cross officials explained, the econ
omy of Sussex and Kent Counties
disturbed by the hurricane, can
come back to normalcy as soon as
possible.

was found.

With the exception of telephone
and electric service, which was out
in some sections of the reosrt for
some time, conditions soon neared
normalcy when streets had been
cleared of Uttered trees and
branches and the pounding surf
had quieted down. Hundreds OF
automobiles poured into the resort
town during the afternoon with
curious persons who wanted to see
the extent of the damage. A large
number of these persons swan in
the calm ocean.
