Mort SHOPPING DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS Many inquiries concerning tele- rams marked with one and two have been made at the loca led Cross office, according to Mrs. Louise C. Dean, executive secre- ary of the Allegany chapter of led Cross. Mrs, Dean said some persons re- eiving telegrams with two stars be- eve them to indicate death.

Many lave r-ceived such, messages from he Department concerning asualties, and though the message tales clearly the nature of the asualty, there has been much con- usion. All priority letters, including let- ers from the War Department, money orders, are marked with wo sfars. Telegrams telling of train imes or other important messages are also so marked. These messages must be signed by the addressee, so as to verify the delivery of the telegram to the place. Messages dealing with illness, important family news and other urgent matters are marked with one star.

Mrs. Dean also announced that no cables may be sent to casualties by next-of-kln. She advises waiting details from the War Department. If, however, no word is received within 30 days, the Red Crosi will forward a message. be directed toward the removal of breeding places and, he added, attacks against adult flies are of secondary importance, and are not likely to reduce appreciably the number of flies.

In a discussion of cockroaches, Fike said the German cockroach or "croton bug" or bug" as it is sometimes known, is found more frequently in this section than ar.y of the other four kinds. Control Infestation Source Cockroach elimination is not difficult if the sources of infestation can be controlled, Fike stated, and pointed out that no control will keep an establishment free from roaches continuously if sources of reinfesta- exist. He said the number of roaches can 'be reduced greatly by preventing access to food and by scrupulous cleanliness, and emphasized that storage of food in insect-proof containers or in ice boxes is a prerequisite to the control of roaches. The greatest problem with regard to rats in Maryland, Fike told the food handlers, is destruction ol food'and property, contamination of food and the spread of disease He said the United States Biological Survey estimates there is one ral in existence for every human anc added that the same source believes the average rat consumes two dollars worth of food per year and renders unfit for consumption ten times that amount. MaJ.

Miller told the food handlers that an important channel spreading disease is through and drinking utensils contaminatec by waitress or patron through saliva cough or soiled ringers and declarec dishes should be washed to remove and destroy disease germs anc jo get them clean. Now's The Time When our men marched down those narrow English roads between the hedges and went aboard their boats on the night before D-day last June, they carried with them everything they needed to live and fight. Each man had on his person food nnd ammunition for twenty four hours. Each unit was backed up by supplies and material to lost through two weeks of fighting. In the second wave came other supplies, other guns, ammunition, medical units, food and field kitchens to carry the invasion still farther.

On th other hand, if his pay starts goin result of illness, reduce hours, loss of his job or for an other worker who is 6 or older should consult the office of the Social Security Boar at once. In time, Millhouser pointed on the new ruling will prove beneflcir to many workers who attain 65 and face the possibility that re duced pay, no matter what th cnuse, may result in reduced bent fits. In the past, he said, some these workers hove chosen "freeze" their benefit amounts filing a claim, even though they in tended to keep on working. Tin protected them against nny dro in the benefit, but it also prevents any increase.

The net effect is thf a worker, reaching age 65, mn "peg" his benefit so thnt it will nt be reduced but can be increased the basis of his future work rccon The locnl office of the Sor.ii Security Board Is locatc-rt at Rooi 308 Post Office Building.
