In response to an invitation
issued by Mayor Harry C. Perry,
thirty-four business men of Cal
thersburg met in the fire house on
Wednesday, February Is, to or
ganize a Gaithersburg business
and professional mems association.
In explaining to the group his
reason for calling the meeting,
Mayor Perry stated that the Town
Council felt that the business
people and citizens were not mani
Testing sufficient interest in town
affairs. To act as an incentive for
the governing body of the town to
take action on future problems, it
was hoped those present would
form an organization which would
by tLeir manifestations aid in
formulating plans for such expan-
sion and development as would be
beneficial to the future of the town.
The primary object of the as
ISOLATION will be the improvement
and enlargement of the Town of
Gaithersburg.
Backing of this organization
will be also an inspiration for the
Mayor and council to adopt GER
tain policies IN regard to the
future Suggested improvements
will be made with the idea of MAX
ing the town more inviting to bust
ness, and through suggested ex-
pans sion to encourage more
residential building.
Maurice H. Chiswell was named
temporary chairman and Charles
X. Davies, Jr:, was designated
temporary secretary. A committee
to draft bylaws composed of Mr..
Davies, Charles NJ. Pope and
Henry W. Becraft was named. A
nominating committee comprising
Leonard H. Hoyie, chairman; Isa-
dore Wolfson and w. Lawson
King was appointed.
Meeting last night (Wednes-
day., the nominating committee
presented the following slate of
officers: for president, Morris
H, Chiswell, for vice president,
Harold w. Ward, for the sec.,
treas, Charles X. Daires, Jr.
Election of officers will take place
in March, according to the by
laws which are adopted.
According to Mayor Perry, the
Town of Gaithersburg won the
case against Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad which had been pending
for some month. In the suit, the
Town, through it's attorney,
Charles X. Davies, asked that
watchmen be retained at the rail-
road crossing on Chestnut street.
There is now a Waterman at the
crossing between 6 a. m. and 10
p. m.
Installation of electric street
lights have Lcen completed on the
main street through Deer Park,
and from the Deer Park entrance
on route No. 240 to the bridge. The
wattage of lights throughout the
town is being increased as quickly
as possible.
Numerous other town improve
ments are being planned for the
coming months.

Next Three Months Most Likely
To BRING Accidents Into The Home

doors and windows, call your gas
supplier. Do not search for the
leak with a match, candle or Gig
arctic lighter! You may find it
by an explosion, as % people did
last year.
During November last year ID
persons died in accidents at high
w a y railroad intersections in
Ohio. Poor visibility, excessive
speed, slippery roads may have
been factors in making Novem-
Der one of the three months to
have so many fatal collisions be-
tween motor vehicles and rail-
road trains.
Practically every crossing in the
state is marked by the familiar
white cross buck. Those on state
highways have advance warning
signs as least 800 feet from the
tracks. Gates, bells, wig-wag de-
vices or flashing lights signal
when a train is approaching a
crossing.
A study in northeastern Ohio
recently showed that almost one
fourth of the drivers failed to re-
duce speed in approaching the in
tersection. Almost none of these
would have been able to stop
clear of the tracks, had a train
been coming.
In Is percent of the collisions
cars strike trains already on the
crossing, while Is percent of the
crashes involve a vehicle stalled
on the track. Since most of these
accidents occur in the daylight
hours, it is evident that only a
minority of drivers ever expect
that a train will be using the
tracks that cross their paths.
If you would be safe and live
to see Christmas put four things
on your "must do" list:
/. Walk carefully and alertly,
indoors and outdoors.
2. Be sure there's plenty of ven
tilation where fuel is burned, in
a stove or in your car.
3. Keep your driving speed be-
low legal limits in bad weather,
on dark nights.
a. Remember Anytime may be
train time" Approach highway
railroad crossings at a speed that
will allow you to stop your car
clear of the tracks. Know the way
is clear before crossing.

The next three months, Novem-
Der, December and January, bring
many gloomy days. The days
'sare cold and dark and dreary'
weather-wise. These r. the
months in which accident is most
likely to visit Ohio families ac-
cording to the records of the Ohio
State Safety Council.
Six types of accidents present
the greatest danger in the months
ahead; falls, fire, poisonous gas
and vapors, pedestrian injuries in
traffic, collisions between motor
vehicles and accidents at railroad
highway crossings.
Weather has a distinct influ-
ence on November's accident
grouping. Poor visibility is fire.
uuently a factor in traffic mis-
haps. Chill winds with rain or
snow, make one hurry on foot to
get to shelter. Falls in the open
and pedestrian injuries 60 up as
a result. Wet, slippery walks and
streets add to the possibility Of
such injuries.
The most significant increase
last year at this eason came from
poisonous gases and vapors-in
the homeland accidents at High
way-R Railroad intersections.
Gas poisonings generally in
volve carbon monoxide-the pro-
duct of incomplete combustion OF
n fuel. All fuel burning heaters
and stoves should be connected
by a flue to a chimney or the out
doors. Properly adjusted equip
ment seldom produces dangerous
fumes. If a flame strikes a cold
surface-as in a water heater, nox.

Poultry Meeting Tackles
Present Price Slump

Northeastern poultry people
from Maine to West Virginia met
at the Penn-Sheridan Hotel, Phil
adelphia, Oct. "a, to discuss ways
and means of correcting the pres
ent slump i'll chicken prices. The
meeting vas called under the aus
pices of the Northeastern Poultry
Producers Council and the Poultry
and Egg National Board. Delaware
was represented by E. A. Yutzi,
Edgar Timmons, John Williams,
Dave Greene, Willard McAllister,
John Herholdt, and ]. Frank
Gordy.
BY concentrating on marketing
and production, the various poul-
try industries, private groups, and
organizations hope to increase
chicken consumption, and thus
bring prices to a point where the
farmer makes profit over produc-
ton costs, according to j. Frank
Gordy, chairman of the conference.
Radio people and food editors
also present at the meeting, made
plans to push use of broilers and
fryers through their media. The
USDA plans to cooperate by writ
ing about chicken in the plentiful
foods program and consumer edu-
cation services. Private groups,
such as the Delaware Poultry I'M
provement Assn, are urged to
continue their promotional efforts.
Retail stores and dressing plants
will be contacted in order to push
the use of cut-up, ready-to-cook
chicken, so that the time usually
spent waiting for the butcher to
cut the chicken is eliminated.
By solving their own problems,
the poultry people hope to make
government support or govern
