The bill, concerning which no information has been available to this newspaper, is understood to have created a vacancy in the membership of the board. At the same time it provided machinery for the creation of a new set of officials. Under the bill, it is said, the State Board of Charities and Public Welfare has authority to name one member. The selectee of the1 State Board was J. L. Henry, of Winnabow. Mr. Henry has held a position on the board for' several years, along with Mr. | Stanaland and George C.

At any, rate offenders hailed into court here have been pleading that they understood the law was no longer in force. j The Emergency War Powers Act was created in 1943 and was intended to cover a period of two years. The placing of the legal speed driving limit at 35 miles per hour was calculated to save tires, gas and to lessen war time dangers of travel. With the period expiring now and with the war and need of the regulations continuing the bill was reenacted on the 20th day of January, 1945. "Ignorance of the law excuses no one", said Judge John B.

This corporation is not interested in the hotel business, it simply sees possibilities for development of sport fishing here and plans to | follow the line of it$ vision by constructing a small but modern club house. At a meeting here i Saturday it was predicted that within six months after this first step is taken other business interests, real hotel people, would awaken to the opportunity and need of facilities that exist here.
