retary to succeed Mr. Abbott. An ac-
tive member of the Young Demo-

Cut Operations
At Laurel Plant

at the Laurel plant.
Marvil Package Company has
been in operation in Laurel for
more than half a century and for
the past 20 years Mr. Hamill has
served either as general supeTinten-
dent, vice president or president
During this entire period a large
proportion of the raw material has
been transported by barge from
North Carolina, a trip of about 300
miles
The increased cost of this trans
pOrtatiOn was given as the principal
reason by Mr.. Hamill for making
this drastic change. Towing costs
per trip have recently increased
from about $1,000 to more than .$2,-
000 The annual upkeep to their
barges runs from $4,000 to $4,000
per year, while labor costs to Oper-
ate the barges run around $4,000
annually Mr.. Hamill stated that a
study of this condition by several
engineers, convinced the manage
ment of the inefFiciency of this sys-
TEN. and of the need to operate
closer to the source of supply.
The speaker also said operations
will be very materially increased at
the SharptOwn, Md, plant, that con-
siderable machinery had already
been moved from Laurel to Sharp
town The home office, however for
all branches, will be retained at
| Laurel.

the best of it.
Besides advertising his stamp
collections, he also offers complete
collections Of long Out-dated bank

Goldman Peichsmark notes of the

Schacht, who in 1928 stemmed the

Health Minister Aneurin Bevan
says the British people must use the
national health service "sparingly''
to keep from killing it. He said the
medical insurance program, started
last summer, will "break down be-
cause of the demands made on it,
unless people use it "intelligently,
sparingly and prudently"
There was a great demand at the
beginning but I believe it will ease
down and the whole thing will find
its proper level" he told a dinner

SUNDAY, DECEMBER
The subject of the LessOn-Ser-

ciety, Grange Hall, Milford, on Sun
day, December 5, will be God the
Only Cause and Creator"
Morning Service and Sunday
School are at 11:00 a. m.
Golden Text: Isaiah 45:1S. Thus
saith the Lord that created the
heavens; God himself that formed
the earth and made it; he hath es-
tablished it, he created it not in
vain, he formed it to be inhabited:
l am the Lord; and there is none
else.
A citation from the Lesson-Ser-
mon is: Matthew 4:23; Matthew
5:1, 2, II.
And Jesus went about ali Cali
lee, teaching in their synagOgues,
and preaching the gospel of the
kingdom, and healing all manner
Of sickness and all manner of dis
ease among the people And
seeing the multitudes, he went up
into a mountain: and when he was
set, his disciples came unto him:
And he opened his mouth, and
taught them saying, Think not
that / am come to destroy the law,
or the prophets: I am not come to
destroy, but to fulfill.
A cOrrelative passage from the
Textbook Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures" by
Mary Baker Eddy is: (p. 474. If
sin, sickness, and death are as real
as Life, Truth, and Love, then they
must all be from the same source;
God must be their author. Now
Jesus came to destroy sin, sickness,
and death; yet the Scriptures aver,
81 am not come to destroy, but to
fulfill" Is it possible, then, to be-
lieve that the evils which Jesus
lived to destroy are real or the Off
spring of the divine will? The
apostle says that the mission of
Christ is to destroy the works of
the devil"

COAST GUARD HEADQUARTERS

The location of the headquarters of the Coast Guard in Alaska is still undetermined but with only two cities Juneau and Ketchikan as possible sites
 That the Coast Guard District for Alaska will be reestabshed on about July l. 1949 is according to recent announcement made by Secretary of the Treasury Snyder, and information given in Delegate Bartlets news letter the Secretary stated that de- termination of the locality for the headquartrs has not yet been decided That means Juneau must not stop making fight for the headquarters. Ketchkan is doing it. Juneau must keep at it also.
 Admiral Joseph F. Farley, Commandant of the Coast Guard cancelled his proposed trip to Alaska for an inspection and there no plans known for any Coast Guard official coming to Alaska this matter in the near future this fall.
 Rear Admiral Merlin ONel, Assistant Com mandant of the Coast Guard further informed Dele gate Baretts office that the date of July l. l949 did not necessarily mean that the headquarters would not be reestabshed before that date but rather that date was given a goal and it hoped that the re- establishment could take place long before that Time is still needed Admiral ONeil stated, to continue
