Birthday Celebration
For Mrs. Jennings Mills

Mrs. Jennings Mills, nee Linda
Emory, was the hOnored guest at
a family gathering on Sunday, Mo-
theirs Day, when fifty-seven of her
family were present to do her hon
or on her own day, and to cele-
brate her 10Th birthday. The affair
took place at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Delbert Mills, near her own
home, in Cedar Neck where she
has spent the most of her SO years
of married life, doing the helpful
things for her family and in a most
gracious manner. Mrs. Mills is
the oldest in years of anyone in
her neighbOrhoOd, but her outward
appearance denies all of that. She
has accepted all tasks in the sweet
manner of her disposition and this
has kept her young in years and
appearance. Being a busy person
by nature, she has not let the time
go idly by, but has helped her fam
lily with sewing, crOcheting and
many other tasks Her family of
nine children were present, along
with twenty-five grandchildren and
six great-grandchildren, as we'll as
her oldest sister, Mrs. Minnie Cam
per and her daughter, Mrs. Edgar
HOlleger of Frederick. A TERED
birthday cake, with candles, many
gifts and other remembrances
marked the day, as we'll as photo
graphs and candid shots of Mrs.
Mills and her family which will be
mementOes of the occasion. The
children are Thomas E. Mills

TIMES HAVE CHANGED

/ can remember the days when a lad with
$500 and the determination to succeed could,
through sweat and toll earn a fortune. But
times have changed. The other day. Joe, an
enterprising young man dropped in to see me.
A year ago Joe went into business for him
self-cOmmercal soaps, window washes and
the like. Yesterday, Joe went to work for a
nationally known soap company. Why did he
give up his year-old business? Simply because
he had limited capital Today it takes more
than $500, particularly if you want to get into
production and distribution of some tangible
items.
Joe met his Waterloo when he tried to
market his products. He found that there were
already many good soaps for sale and that
most markets had been well exploited by large
and lOng-established companies. He was also
confronted with the problem of advertising,
for which he needed not hundreds of dollars
but hundreds of thousands. Had Joe been sell
ing his own services, as for example, in ad-
yertising or personal counseling, his chance of
success would have been greater Then he
would have needed little more than an Office, a
desk telephone and a secretary to get started

ing So if you are a business frOntiersman,
remember there will always be opportunities
in enterprises where machinery and volume
are of minimum Importance and in enterprises
where personal care is of maximum import
ance. For example, there will always be a
field for speciality stores, repair shops and
restaurants with individuality.
Remember, as you dream, that big business
has certain important advantages over small
business-especially if much machinery or
determination is needed On the other hand,
small business also has advantages where
personal attention gets the trade. 1t can keep
open longer hours and not be tied to iron
rules. 1t can afford greater risks. Therefore,
if you are on the fence vocatiOnally ask your
SELF "Can this business be operated more
economically as part of a large chain?" If
your honest answer is yes" then aim at be-
coming an employee in top management. If
your answer is mo-" then pioneer!
GET MORE EDUCATION
Whatever your answer, found your plans on
education. Go to a good business college and
get some practical courses. These will give
you the necessary principles and functions of
business as accounting distribution, econom-
ics finance and production. You will get off to
IA faster start and better finish.

Warming Issued
Against Tick FeUer
Continued from FIRST page)

ward before attaching themselves,
the back of the head and neck Of
human beings are favOrite feeding
places. Careful examination of
heads, especially of children at
least twice a day may reveal tick
in time to prevent a bite. Remem-
Der, health officials warn, that the
bite of tick is seldom felt.
! People are warned not to be-
come unduly excited if they do find
a tick because it must be attached
to the person for several hours and
it must be infected with the spotted
fever, in order to be able to give
the person the disease.
The board of health says to re-
move the attached tick with for
ceps, tweeZers or rubber gloves in
order to keep the tick blood off
the hands. If these things are not
available, be sure to scrub. hands
well after the tick removal
A vaccine is now available for
the prevention of Rocky Mountain
spotted fever and persons whose
work takes them into tick-infested
areas may obtain this immuniz-
ing treatment from their family
physicians.
Ticks often feed on dogs and
cats, making it necessary to watch
for these dangerous insects on
household pets as we'll as on peO-
pie. The same procedure is ad-
vised in removing ticks from ami
mails as is used with humans. Once
the ticks are pulled off they should
be destroyed Immediately, and a
good way to kill them is to drop
them into kerosene or boiling wa
ter.
That these seemingly bOthersome
precautions are important is stres-
sed by the State Board of Health,
which points out that II persons
here have been reported to have had
Rocky Mountain spotted fever since
it was first recorded in Delaware
in 1882, and that 19 of these people
have died because they were bitten
by the disease-carrying ticks which
were not removed in time.
