With their fire house draped in mourn

Providence Hospital, Washington, yes
terday of stab wounds received in a
quarrel with a neighbor, members of

prepared to pay final tribute to their
associate at the funeral services to-

Six of the firemen will serve as active
pallbearers at the services, while the
remainder of the fire company will be
honorary pallbearers. Following the
local services, the body will be taken to
Baltimore County for burial.
The firemen recalled sorrowfully to-

Although born and educated in Phil

The factories of the East work directly

Schnurr. ito believe that reclaimed
land will cause overproduction of farm
products. Many of the products raised
on these reclaimed farm lands cannot
be successfully produced in the
East. For instance, the successful
raising of sugar beetS and long
staple cotton can only be done on
irrigated land. An extensive production
Of sugar beets on these reclaimed lands
should eventually cut down the impor-
tation of sugar cane into the country
Another point is that many farm prod

Western products to Eastern markets
at such a time in no way affects the
sale of Eastern farm products.

cost of irrigation is repaid by the water
