Auxiliary
Will Buy Two
RefrigeratOrs
Additional Funds, How
ever, Must Be Raised
To Pay For The New
Equipment For The
Kitchen.

The WOmens Auxiliary Of the
Milford Memorial Hospital decided
to buy two new refrigeTators for
the kitchen at the Hospital At the
regular meeting Of the Auxiliary
on Tuesday afternoon at the Nur-
ses' Home this new project was
given serious consideration. One of
the aims of the Auxiliary Is to pro-
vide needed equipment for the Hos
pital. The two new refrigerators
viii make the kitchen much more
efficient.
In order to purchase the badly
needed refrigeratOrs, it will be
necessary to raise some additional
money. For some time the Auxiliary
has been hoping to increase its
membership. They feel that many
more women of this community
and the surrounding area would
like to help in the worth while prof.
ects of the Auxiliary. The member
ship dues are only one dollar a
year and you may be either an ac-
tive or inactive member.
During National Hospital Week
an intensive drive will be put on to
secure new members. Mrs. Byron
Gibson is chairman of this drive.
Her committee consists Of Mrs. ].
B. NAPLES, Mrs David Clements,
Jr, and Mrs. Carlton FOoks. They
have divided up the territory and
members will be asked to solicit
additional members by calling on
each house.

However, other great sOcio-medical

Thus, in addition to the care of the
maladjusted child there is a divi-
sion for the geriatTic and chrOnical-
ly i'll bedridden, the alcoholic, the
epileptic and the handicapped,
which includes the crippled, palsy,
cardiac and OrthOpedic cases. To
provide these various groups, diff

Dover Police
Using Radar
On Speeders
Chief J. E. Turner Cites
Jump In Accidents And
Traffic Violations AS
The Reason.

Dover police are now combat
ing automobile speeding with radar,
Chief James E. Turner, ST., mas DIS
closed.
He explained that the Dover de-
partment's resort to the radar
speed meter has been dictated by
the steady increase in traffic on Do
yer city streets, the mounting num-
Der of Vehicular collisions, and the
greater number of persons being
injured in traffic mishaps
Pointing out that speeding must
be curbed, the police head stressed
that the objective of his department
is TO protect the safe, law-abiding
drivers and the general public
from the drivers who recklessly
ignore the speed limits.
All motorists were urged by him
to obey the speed and other traffic
regulations and to cooperate with
the police in their efforts to keep
the streets safe and accidents at a
minimum. This way they won't
have to worry about the radar Op-
eratiOns, he pointed out
Driving at excessive rates of
speed has been responsible for a
great number of traffic accidents
in the city, Chief Turner cited in
declaring the determination of the
police to reduce speeding.
With the vast expansion of the
Dover area in the past several
years, plus the hundreds of cars of
Dover Air Force Base personnel,
the city has been confronted for
some time with a complex traffic
problem, taxing police to the limit
in their efforts to keep the situa-
ton in hand, he concluded.
