Two Burn
To Death
In Cottage
Brothers Meet Tragic
Death By Fire At Cot
tage On Elk River

James Wilson Spence, "a, of 731
East Thirty-Sixth Street, Baltimore,
and his brother, George Neal Spence,
81, of Wilmington, Del, were burned
to death early Sunday when a fire of
unknown origin destroyed their cot
tage 5 miles south of Elkton on the
Elk River.
Residents of nearby cottages dis
covered the fire about 3 a. m. When
Elkton volunteer firemen arrived an
hour later, the cottage, a one-story
frame structure, had burned to the
ground.
The ckarred bodies of the brothers
found in the debris, were removed to
an Elkton funeral home and later to
Wilmington for burial. DR.. R. c.
Dodson, Cecil county medical exam
liner, gave a verdict of accidental
death from burns.
Neighbors said the men arrived at
the cottage Saturday night to spend
the weekend and retired late. Two
other men were said to have been in
the building early that night.

ssWHAT CAN YOU
SPARE THAT THEY
CAN WEAR!''

If you had been stripped of al
your belongings except the clothing
you happened to be wearing five
years ago; if your home and you'
town had been destroyed at that time
and you, still with those same worr
clothes as your only possessions, had
spent the intervening five years in
Nazi concentration camps and al
Nazi slave labor, and then at last
were set free to rebuild your life
and, if the initial step in that re-
building was your procurement OF
essential clothing-how would you
like to be greeted with such adver-
tisements as:
"Two-piece suit-$275.00." "Shirt
"Shoes-$35 per pair?"
Such are the price lists on what
little clothing there is for sale in the
war-devastated areas. Only through
your contributions to the United Ma
tional Clothing Collection can the
war-sufferers be clothed.

families will be glad to help the SUI
fering millions abroad. The giving of
clothes which you no longer need
may save the life of some man, wo-
man or child overseas who might
otherwise die for want of the sim
plest garments.
Former Governor Lehman, in COM
menting on the Clothing Drive, said:
''It is certain to provide hope and
the will to work for better world
which must come with peace. am
confident that all Americans will re-
spond to this call for help with typi-
cal American generosity towards peo-
pie of the world less fortunate than
themselves.
Those in this town and vicinity
who have wearing apparel to contri-
butte may leave it at the Methodist
Church here, or at the High School.
If unable to bring your package, no.
tify some one who will get in touch
with collectors for you.

complete disregard for personal
safety were credit to himself and
to the Armed Forces of the United
States"

ed in action, and the Combat Infan-
tryman D. S. Badge, awarded for ex-

N. T,-My husband and I have
been married two years. We
have two children. He is very
jealous of me and doesn't want
me to 60 any place. He isn't a
very good provider and he never
lets me have the car to 60 out
riding. I love him but ! can't
put up with his doings much
longer. What must / do?
Ans: A married woman with
two babies less than two years
old can't afford to be very in
dependent of her husband. In
stead of bucking up against him
demanding equal privileges, you
should be striving to establish a
cooperative, understanding spirit
between you two. Show him
more love and consideration and
be less irritable with his short
comings and it will have a tend
ency to make him more appre-
ciative of you and the children
and he will doubtless grow clos
er to you. Stick with him and
iron out the friction existing in
your home.

like him but he drinks so much
and although he is nice to me, do
you think I would be lettering
myself by marrying him or not?
Ans: A man who drinks to ex-
cess is doubtful prospect as to
being a good husband. | hardly
see how it could be uplifting and
inspiring to be married to a man
who is slave to drink. Your
previous marriage ended in de-
spair and disillusionment and
surely you do not wish to enter
another union with so many
doubts and fears in your mind.
It's impossible to find perfection
in any human being but it isn't
too much to expect of a mate to
be moderate in his habits of liv-
ing. Marrying to better your
station in life is the wrong atti-
tude to take. Enter matrimony

it offers or not at all.
