dants of George S.
and James Grier
will meet for their
..is...s..,.z.s annual reunion at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs,
George T. Macklin. This reun-
ion brings together relatives
from all parts of Delaware and
Maryland and some of those
who have branched out into
other nearby states. It is al
ways a happy affair, when
cares for the day are left back
home as the members come
together to talk of other days
and of new interests. The fam
lily of the late Georgia Grier
Pierce are hosts this year and
the spacious lawn of the Mack
lin home'at Haven Lake will be
a fine place for the basket
lunch. The hour for the serv-
ing of that will be between two
and three and the numerous
members of the two branches
of the Grier families will en-
joy the things that are delic-
ious and tempting. Usually
the oldest member and the
youngest member present are
pointed out with pride, and for
special recognition. 1t will be
a fine gathering.

The. bridge luncheon given
by Mrs. Isaac Dolphus Short
on Friday of last week at the
Rehoboth Country Club was
enjoyable and lovely. Mrs.
Short received her guests and
was assisted by Mrs. Roger
Taylor of New York City, her
sister-in-law and her mother,
Mrs. William G. Taylor. The
long veranda of the club lent
itself very nicely to the large
group of friends who were
seated at small tables, where
luncheon was served. Bridge
and bingo followed and the af-
ternoon sped by. Guests from
here and other towns, includ-
ing Rehoboth, were present.

turning by plane. This was g
"spur of the moment" journey
because it was only on Satur
day that the trip was planned
and all of the passports ant
necessary items attending sucl
a journey had to be secure'
since then. Happy Landings

Officials Plan
Safety Vigil
Over Holiday

Colonel Beverly ODER, Baltimore
Police Commissioner, Colonel
Carey Jarman, Superintendent of
the Maryland State Police, Robert
M. Reindollar, Chairman State
Roads Commission, and William H.
Bishop, Jr., Director of the Mary
land Traffic Safety Commission,
plan special safety vigil for the
long July 4th holiday.
Having established one of the
finest safety records in the U. S.
during the 1948 July 4th weekend,
Maryland's guardians of highway
safety will be out in full force.
All leaves, furloughs and vaca-
tons for all traffic enforcement
officers on Maryland highways are
cancelled to put the full weight of
traffic assistance at disposal of
motorists who will be travelling
Maryland highways over the long
weekend.
According to Maryland's Bureau
on Traffic Statistics, pedestrian
casualties still head the list. Special
caution and warning is directed to
pedestrians who cross roads where
there is no intersection or no traffic
signal.
Crossing against the signal,
walking in roadways, stepping
from behind parked cars or lying
in the roadway while making tire
repairs also stand high on the list
of accident causes.
For the period July 2 to July 5,
inclusive, last year, there were
eleven accidents on Howard County
roads. Eight were reported on
Route l, one each on routes 80 and
It's and one on an unnumbered
road. Although there were no
fatalities, one person was injured
in an accident on Washington
boulevard during the day and
thirty-five were injured in four
accidents on the same road at
night.

Researchers Making Progress In
Polio Study; Give Hints For Parents

had not come down with polio.
Although field sleuths had, before
the Akron tragedy, been suspi-
cious of a connection between bull
bar DRAIN polio and tonsillec-
tonnes, adenoid operations and
tooth extractions, it was not until
the family tragedy that the Ma
tional Foundation went on record
unequivocally as warning against
such operations during the polio
season, unless such operations are
urgent.
Direct contact between a child
who is about to come down with
polio and one who has not been
infected has also been found to
be one of the strongest links in
the chain of transmission.
Here are five precautions
against polio:
81. Avoid crowds and places
where close contact with other
persons is likely.
"2. Avoid over-fatigue caused
by too-active play or exercise, or
by irregular hours.
"3. Avoid swimming in polluted
water. Use only beaches or public
pools declared safe by local health
authorities.
"A. Avoid sudden chilling. Re-
move wet shoes and clothing at
once and keep extra blankets and
heavier clothing handy for sud-
den weather changes.
"5. Observe the golden rule of
personal cleanliness. Keep food
tightly covered and safe from flies
or other insects. Garbage should
be tightly covered and, if other
disposal facilities are lacking, it
should be buried or burned.
"These are some polio symptoms:
headache, nausea or upset stomach,
qnuscle soreness or stiffness, and
unexplained fever. Should polio
strike in your family, call doctor
Immediately. Early diagnosis and
prompt treatment by qualified med
ical personnel often prevent serious
Gripping, the National Foundation
has pointed out.
IF polio is actually diagnosed,
contact the chapter of the National
Foundation for Infantile Paralysis
serving your community. The
chapter will pay that part Of the
cost Of care and treatment which
patient or family cannot meet"

1919 Maryland
Highway Map
Now Available

Maryland's Official 1949 High
way Map made its first appearance
today.
Prepared by the State Roads
Commission, the map provides the
usual inventory of highways
throughout Maryland, showing
major routes in red, secondary
roads by solid black lines, with
other designations for less heavily
travelled arteries. Distances be-
tween principal points are shown
in red figures.
A feature which endeared the
1948 Maryland Highway Map to
motorists - an accordian fold,
which permits study of any section
of the map without unfolding it to
its full length = has been retained
in the 1949 edition.
The location and telephone num-
bers of the various State Police
Substations have been added to
the data on the 1949 map.
The entire map is divided into
numbered squares, permitting the
quick location of any city, town or
village by reference to key list
printed at the edge of the map.
The only changes in the pictorial
display on the reverse side Of the
map is a substitution Of the Ham
mond- HARDWOOD House for a rustic
scene near Hancock, and the re-
placement of two pictures = one
of Chesapeake Bay ferry, the
other of a boat load of shad = by
an artists drawing of the Chesa-
peake Bay Bridge.
A section devoted to Maryland's
traffic laws includes an illustration
Of the now-official signal for a
