Page 2 FROM OUR EXCHANGES UNI SI AI, AUTOMOBILE ACC IDENT IN CECIL CO. A rather unusual automobile acci dent, which but for a miracle, would have proved fatal for the occupant of the car, occurred early on Wednes day morning of last week at Willis ton, Cecil County mill pond, when Marvin Todd, 19-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Norman H. Todd of Har mony, crashed his car through the guard rail and plunged into twenty five feet of water. Although all the windows of the car were said to have been closed, young Todd managed, after several minutes, to free himself from the car and come to the surface where he was thrown a rope by one of the crowd, who hearing the crash, had come to investigate. Although completely exhausted and almost unconscious when hauled to shore, Todd was soon brought to nor mal by artificial respiration. He was given first aid treatment for head and arm injuries and later was re moved to the Emergency Hospital, Easton. The accident, which occurred about 7 A. M., was believed to have hap pened when Todd, who was returning home from Wilmington, fell asleep at the wheel and failed to negotiate the sharp curve at the north end of the pond. The car crashed into the rail on the right side of the road, going south. Later in the day, the car, consider ably damaged, was recovered. OLD WAR-TIME CANNON GOES INTO AMMUNITION Two 30-ton Columbiads-Civil War cannons that once guarded the Dela ware River, will be blasted out of Army retirement this month to help win World War 11.

All told there will be 125 tons of scrap, including old cables recently fished out of the Delaware River.

HAVE THAT JOB WORK YOU NEED PRINTED AT ONCE !BOMBER FORCED LANDING NEAR WILLIS WHARF When flares were dropped from a bomber near Willis Wharf, early Tuesday morning of last week, resi ■ dents of the Exmore-Willis Wharf community crawled out of bed at ' 5:25 o’clock to witness a ' spectacle ' they had not before seen. They were not alarmed, and they were sure that a plane was in dis tress, and this was borne out when a 1 B-18 running short of gas made a ’! forced landing 150 yards north of Cunjar channel, near Hog Island. The plane, carrying seven men, j was said to have been not seriously damaged, and the crew members es caped unhurt. The plane circled over the Exmore-Willis Wharf commun- ity about one-half hour. It was said that the pilot, though flying a land plane, tried to ease the bomber into the inlet, which he did. but there hap- pened to be only twelve inches of water, it being low tide. Little Machipongo, Hog Island and ' Paramore Beach Coast Guards were soon at the scene, ready to give as ; sistanee. A salvage crew was said to have arrived , which included an amphibian tank and two trucks. As the flares dropped in the early morning near Willis Wharf, the skies were brigtened, and it was said that a newspaper could be read by the light. One resident was reported to have j called his wife upon seeing the flares, saying: “My G , Lucy, it's time to go over to Ma’s and get in the : cellar!” MARRIED MEN ARE IN DRAFT NOW PREDICTED According to a statement by State Draft Officials, by the end of this .year more men will have been draft ed from Maryland than were drafted • from the State during the World 1 War ' „ . . „ . „ As to what is m store during the . third year for the thousands of draft I registrants in Maryland who have not | yet been called or who are deferred, ?: draft officials point to revised regula tions and “natural developments.” I “The State’s monthly quota of men f it must draft is still on the increase,” an official at draft headquarters in the Fifth Regiment Armory said. 3 “We have not yet reached the peak or - leveling-off point.

So that time will be used to best advantage in war work, how ever, the clubnters are considering the following points before altering and restyling a garment: Is the original fabric good enough to survive the change? Is the color becoming—if not, can it be dyed? Is the style adaptable to the change? The girls are receiving training in establishing a “second front” with their old garments in connection with the National 4-H Clothing Achieve ment contest, in which the Spool Cot ton Company is cooperating with the Extension Service in stimulating in terest by providing county, State and national awards for outstanding ac complishments, exhibits ,aud demon strations of the participant’s handi work.
