Stanley Ul- 1 \ \ { Movement on Foot To Curb Liquor Sale Hours in Club's Here State Liquor Dealers to Present Bill to Assembly A move to force clubs to close at the same hour as other licensed liquor establishments will be made at the next session of the General Assembly. Clubs now may operate until 3 a. m. seven days a week. Other places must close at 2 a. m. on urdays. Sentiment for a uniform closing hour was overwhelming at a re- cent convention of the Pennsyl- vania Liquor Dealers’ Association in Pittsburgh. Several members—operators of restaurants, hotels and taverns-- made it clear that a bill will be introduced at the next session to put clubs on a parity with other places. It also was learned that an at- closing hours of all establishments tc 1 a. m. week days and 12 mid- This plan was said to have the support of some licenses, who feel that business in the hour between 1 and 2 a. m. consists, to a large degree, of “drunks” who shouldn't be sold drinks anyway They pointed to relatively bet- ter conditions in the liquor busi- ness during the brown-out days of the war when everything shut tempt will be made to advance the | ' UNION PRESS-COURIER Pennsylvania Relief Grants All Resources of Relief Applicants Considered |of relief—general assistance, old {age benefits, aid for dependent Harrisburg The State De-|children—is allowed to accept out- partment of Public Assistance is|side help to the extent of the deducting from relief grants aid |differences between the maximum received by needy soft coal miners and the standard of assistance from the welfare fund of the | for the category, if it is greater.

Liquor dealers who opposed the lcnger hours of operation for the clubs declared it unfair to give them such a break because they pay only $50 a year, compared to much higher fees for the others. As attention focused on clubs, Chairman Frederick T. Gelder of the Liquor Control Board said they should be more scrupulous in obeying the law because they do enjoy privileged hours and li- cense fees. He said the board is going to toughen its policy on all licensed establishments, with particular emphasis on drastic penalties for sales to minors. Thyroid Extract Saves Many Babies Many of the women who lose their babies prematurely may be helped to give birth to living in- fants by small daily doses of thyroid extract. Studies showing this were re- ported by Dr. Eleanor Delfs of the Johns Hopkins School of Med- icine to the Southern Medical As- sociation at Baltimore. In 31 of 45 patients she stud- ied, a deficiency of thyroid hor- mone was found. Deficiencies of a sex hormone and of Vitamin E occurred in a few of the cases. The thyroid extract should be given strating three to four mon-, ths before the woman undertakes to have a child and should be con- tinued during the pregnancy. Failure to start the hormone tre- atment early enough probably ac- counts for disappointments m some cases in which it has been used in the past. | In addition to the hormone tre- atment, vigorous sports, stren- ous activity and hard work are | banned throughout prengancy for | these patients.

Christmas Lights In Short Supply Christmas trees will shine a lit- tle more brightly this year but won't reach their pre-war brill- jance for several Yuletides to come, handlers of holiday lighting bulbs say. One large electrical supply house reported the supply was about ten per cent better than last year, but that ten times the supply would be needed to meet the demand. The General Electric Co., a ma- jor producer, said all its facilities were at capacity and an addition- al factory had been acquired to make nothing but Christmas tree lamps. P. D. Parker, general sales manager for GE’s lamp division, said that “although the output will be the largest in our history, it will be several years before we can fill all the back orders.” Parker cited three reasons for the shortage. First, he said, backlog of demand built up over the four war years when no holi- day bulbs were made; second, the many new families setting up homes, and last, lack of imported lamps, formerly 15 to 100 mill- ion annually.
