BOYS WEEK IS FOR ALL

So that grown-ups will not forget
what growing-up boys think and do
extensive plans are under way in the
Oakland Rotary club for observance
of Boys Week, April 25 to May 2
Each of the seven days will be de-
voted to constructive elements in citi.
zenship training.
Boys haven't changed much. Ac.
cording to the elderly people of Oak
land they are still about as bad, just
about as good as when they were kids
And boys still like to chum with Other
boys. They are incurable little gang
sters, the same as they always were
Adults, however, have changed. The
gang impulse is accepted where for.
merly it was frowned upon. Now
they encourage it, try intelligently to
supply an outlet for its normal ex-
preston through such organizations
as boy scouts, All clubs, boys clubs
sea scouts, boys bands, etc.
An attempt is being made to fill the
youngsters waking hours with whole
some activities, so that it seems
natural to do those things which make
for good citizenship.
All citizens should take an active
part in making Boys Week a real
celebration in Oakland.

STATE ROADS GROUP Is
FACING FUND SHORTAGE
Will Have Less To Spend Dur
ing Coming Two Years Than
During 1929 and 1880
STATE BOND ISSUE FAILED

The State Roads Commission, balk-
ed in it's efforts to have the recent
Legislature bond the State for an ad-
ditional $5,130,OOO to carry out its
projected program, will have less to
spend during the coming two years
than in either 1929 or 1880, officials
said yesterday.
With the passing Of the Assembly
went hopes of the commission to
match Federal highway aid for the
coming two years through bond is
sue of $3.50, 900, a bill which died in
the Senate on the final day of the ses-
sion. With this bonded indebtedness
past hope, the Federal funds will be
matched from gasoline tax receipts
as planned by Governor Richie.
Administration Ignored It
Failure of the administration to
support plans of the roads body came
from reluctance to increase the tax
rate of Is cents per 800, and resulted
in only those funds provided for in
the budget.
The executive did, however, foster

reconstruction of State bridges, many
of which were held by the commission
to be in "distressingly dangerous
condition. To this 100000 will be
added $1,500,000 available from sur
plus in the grade crossing elimination
fund, raised from a half cent gaso-
line tax, making the total for the
bridge work $3,500,000. The commits
sion sought 100000 for this pro-
gram.
One of the most important pro-
jects, in the eyes of the road COM
mission, that of widening a road be-
tween Baltimore and Philadelphia, to
40 feet also went by the boards in
failure of the Legislature to pass a
bond issue for a start on this pro-
gram,

A lot of people want to have COM
pulsory military training abolished in
our state schools. Members of the
American Legion who saw the serious
effects of lack of training in wartime
think compulsory training in the col
leges is a good thing. They know
something about the matter of ad'
justing gas mask or digging in to
protect themselves. Compulsory train
ing in our colleges isn't going to get
us into war.

Total cost of his poject, it was
estimated by Howard Bruce, member
of the commission, would be $4,000,-
900, and he sought, at a hearing be-
fore the finance body of the Senate,
81 100000 for each of the coming two
fiscal years, to make a start on the
work. His plea was refused with
other bonds sought by the commission.
1t was maintained by the commits

Suggest Macadam Road Be Built tt
Eagle Rock, South of AltamOnt.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Dear Sir:-Before the days of the
automobile, Eagle Rock, reached by
blackboard, was visited by thousands
of people every year. It is consid-
cred one of the greatest scenic Won
ders in this part of the country. 1t
could be restored to the people of
Garrett county and to their summer
visitors by building a short macadam
road with easy grades from the Deer
Park, Kitzmiller concrete road, just be-
low Altamont, at very slight expense.
I hope you will take note of this and
bring it to the attention of the people
of Garrett county.
Sincerely yours,
GEO. STEWART BROWN.
