Reserve Board Can Try
1ransamerica, Court Rules
by the Asseeiotsd Press

District Court Judge James w.
Morris ruled today that the Federal
Reserve Board can try the giant
Transamerica Corp. on q civil charge
of violating the Antitrust Act.
Representatives of Transamerica,
the Nations biggest bank holding
company, said the decision will be
appealed. That would insure a
further delay, at least, before the
corporation can be put on trial be-
fore the Reserve Board.
Judge Morris rejected a Trans
america demand that the board be
compelled to clarity" its complaint
or be enjoined permanently from
proceeding further against Trans
america.

pected to be completed today, au-
thorities have stated that the park
ing meter ordinance will go into ef-
feet Monday, August 80, at s a. nj.
and that all parking regulations

the meters will not be effective on
Sundays. Chief of Police John w.
Jacobs emphasized that, starting
Monday morning, all parking regu-
lations will be strictly enforced and
that any violators will be presented

Some observers are of the opinion
that meters will eventually be in
stalled on Commerce street within

there has been no official action by

Operation of Meters
1t was explained that the meters
will take either one-cent coins or
and upon dropping in one
coin, the operator must turn the

down and start the clock. One cent
will give twelve minutes and five
cents will give one hour of parking

CHILD HEALTH
CHECK URGED
Pre-SchOOl Physical Examina-
tiOns Advised BY State
Health Board
DENTAL SPECIFICATIONS

Only a few weeks remain before
school re-opens, and the State
Board of Health is urging parents
to have their children in the best
possible health before they begin a
busy winter of school routine. Well
children learn faster than do sickly
ones, and they are less apt to be
seriously affected by the contag-
ious diseases of childhood.
While health officials are con-
cerned with the health of all school
they are especially inter-
ested that children entering the
first grade this year have both
physical and dental examinations,
and corrections made of any de-
fects found before they begin
school. In this way they will be
able to start their school careers
with as few handicaps as possible.
A careful physical examination
should include a check-up of the
child's heart, abdomen and lungs,
as well as advice concerning pos
ture and nutrition, says the State
Board of Health. If child has
any physical defects, it is well to
have such conditions corrected be-
lore the child enters school. This
will noticeably decrease loss of
school time due to colds and sore
,hroats.
