KEEP YOUR FIRE INSIDE THE
STOVE 4"

Thousands of people will find it
difficult to keep warm this winter,
but others will overdo the heating
proposition-their stoves or heating
plants will set their houses on fire.
The colder months bring an increase
in fire losses.
According to the records of the
National Board of Fire Underwriters
for 1881, defective chimneys and
flues accounted for fire loss of 26
million dollars; hot ashes, Goals and
open fires Ia million dollars; and
stoves, furnaces, boilers and their
pipes "a ga Millions total of over
81 million Enthusiastically IL per
cent of the annual total from all
causes.
Make certain that the stove or
furnace, chimney and smoke pipes
are cleared of SCOT. Remove worn,
broken or rusted equipment. Pro-
tect beams with sheet asbestos.
Use your own good common sense
in operating the equipment, don't put
hot ashes into wooden boxes or car
tons-a metal container is safer,
All open fires should be carefully
screened.
Aside from the destruction of pro-
perty resulting from fires, it is esti-
mated that 10000 persons lose their
lives in fires each year. THIS aspect
alone is sufficient cause for greater
care to prevent fires from heating
plants.

PLAN FOR LIQUOR
CONTROL IN STATE

Governor Richie, on Thursday
last, sent to all Of Maryland's legis-
lators his proposal for a conprehen-
sive liquor bill, advocating separa-
ton of beer from wines and liquor,
sale by the drink and State excise
tax on the stronger beverages.
In accord with Maryland tradi-
lions and practices" he said, the
whole question should be settled on
the principle of local option -coun-
ties and cities should be free to
adopt or reject any or all parts of
the proposal or stay dry if they wish.
He proposes comprehensive law, he
said, to avoid large number of sep
arate, different and unrelatt d local
statutes.
Beer, under the Governor plan,
would continue on sale on its pres
emit basis of low licenses, until and if
any changes in its alcoholic content
warrant its inclusion in the class of
stronger drinks, he said
The Baltimore Board Of License
Commissioners would be vested with
discretionary and regulatory powers
and issue all licenses and counties
which desired to have wines and IL
quors sold for consumption ON the
premises would have a county Ii
cense board.
Sale of the drink would be per-
mitted, in localities which wanted it,
in hotels, restaurants, cafes. clubs
and taverns. Licenses for hotels,
restaurants, cafes or clubs would be
$1,000, although the Governor said
that for clubs probably should be
lower, and those for taverns would
cost $500. This would include "off
sale" privileges and include beer.
"Off sale" licenses for all beverage
es would be set at $3.50.

KEEPING LIQUOR OFF THE AIR

To broadcast or not to broadcast
liquor advertising finds its best an
swer in the decision of the Columbia
system to bar "hard liquors" from
its nationwide network. Pressed by
distillers already seeking time con-
tracts, William s. Paley, president of
that chain, has taken stand which
is tribute to his sagacity as to his
good taste.
The PROBLEMS which faced the
Columbia system and which it is
seeking to avoid are the problems of
all broadcasters. and it is apparent
that the best policy would be refusal
not only of hard liquor advertising
but of all liquor propaganda.
State boundaries mean nothing to
radio waves. But states that re-
main dry and forbid intrastate pub
fishing of liquor advertising or the
admission of outside periodicals
which carry such publicity, should
have the right to protect their homes
from propaganda through the air for
either hard liquors or beer.

by mail, as soon as the tests are
completed. A duplicate copy of the
report is sent a4s.the same time to the
County Health Officer.
Containers for the specimens,
with instructions for their use, are
furnished to the doctors, free of
charge. No charge is made for the
examinations. The containers may
be obtained from the Central Labor
atory, the Branch Laboratories, the
County Health Officers and from the
supply stations scattered throughout
the counties. The latter are usually
in some centrally located drug store
and doctors who are Interested can
get the address of the nearest station
from the County Health Officer.
AN average of about 10, 600 ex-
aminations is made in the six labor
atories each month. About one
fourth of these are concerned with
water, milk oysters and other foods;
the rest are made on the request of
physicians to aid them in the daig-
nosis of disease. There are about
500 physicians practicing in the
counties, and the number who make
use of the laboratories has increased
steadily year by year"

Excerpt FROM MRS. HASLUP'S
ADDRESS AT CHESTERTOWN

Mrs Mary Haslup, President of
the State Woman's Christian Tenn
perance Union, of Maryland, in her
address before the recent convention
at Chestertown, said in part:
am constrained to express here a
personal feeling for which | do not
ask the organization to be response
BILE. was sick at heart when our
National Congress adopted the beer
bill, and the press showed a picture
of the President of the United States
looking up, with smile of citation
after signing the beer bill, AID l am
deeply humiliated by the attitude of
our National Administration con-
corning the traffic in alcoholic liquor.
Think of our glorious country saying
to the world 1--WE must have money
and we are willing to wiring it from
the willing and unwilling victims of
traffic which the curse Of God must
rest, from broken hearted women
and innocent and helpless children,
from weary toilers who must help
pay the bills that always follow in
the wake of the liquor traffic"
1t was the war president who said,
sit is a fearful thing to lead this
peaceful nation into war" 1t was
terribly true, but it is far more
terrible thing to lead this nation
into the degradation and misery
which follow the general use of al
coholic liquor. No argument for
needed revenue can blot from the
history that will go down to our de-
scendents, the surrender of high
moral standards to the evil demands
of appetite and greed. One could
have more enthusiasm for the new
deal" if it's codes were not linked up
with the repeal of the Eighteenth
Amendment, and its recommended
economies more than overbalanced
by the exorbitant appropriations for
war preparation.
We have boasted of our democ-
racy.- of our prosperity and preemi-
nence What must the nations of
the world think when we say to
them in effect, 1--WE cannot enforce
our laws, SO we are yielding to the
clamor of those who have been its
chief violators?" These attitudes
of our government and the situation
of today, when there is little or no
effort to enforce the law which is
still a part of the Constitution, have
been factors in making this hard
year for loyal white-ribboners.
AS we stand upon the Threshold
of new year let us pray that we
may by Divine help write a record of
service. which at each days close we
may bring with humble confidence to
the loving Father, Women of the
Women's Christian Temperance

Organization Of. a Government
corporation to control the liquor
supply of the country is among the
proposals under consideration in Ad-
ministration circles.
1t was made clear that the purpose
of such corporation would be to
control the production and supply
and to simplify tax collections rath-
er than to control retail sales.

THANKSGIVING - OLDEST
OUR NATIONAL HOLIDAYS

Thursday, November 30, will be
observed as Thanksgiving day
set apart in our Nation to return
thanks for the many blessings we
have enjoyed in our land, despite the
widespread distress. Thankful, too,
that we may have been able t. do our
bit, even tho it may not have been
much, to help, in some measure,
someone less fortunate.
Thanksgiving Day is our oldest
National holiday, and while perhaps
not observed in the true spirit by all,
it is held sacred by the large major
ity of our people.
While the university dates from
the year 1921, it has not been OBJ
served every year since that date.
Nor has its observance been at all
times on a fixed and regular date as
Christmas or New Years.
In Massachusetts, Thanksgiving
was celebrated only eighteen times
during the forty-one year period be-
tween 1921 and 1862, and Of this
number only three of these obser-
vances came in November.
For more than $50 years Thanks
giving remained as a strictly New
England celebration, and it was not
until after the Republic had been es-
tablished that the observance be-
came a national affair.
In 1889 President George Wash
ington issued a proclamation estab-
fishing the first Thanksgiving by
Presidential proclamation on Novem-
Der 26 of that year.
However, even with this preced-
ent, Thanksgiving did not become an
annual event for nearly three-quart-
ers of century, and we owe its
adoption, and especially it's observ-
ance on the last Thursday in Novem-
Der, to another great President,
Abraham Lincoln. His first procla-
nation designated the last Thursday
in September, 1851, as "a day of
humiliation. prayer and fasting"
The year 1863 brought forth three
proclamations. The first designated
April 80 as day of fasting and
prayer" On July Is, following the
victories at Gettysburg and Vicks-
berg, the President issued another
one setting August as a day to give
thanks at the prospects of peace.
The outlook for the Unicn cause
seemed bright, and President Lin
coin on October 3, 1868, issued a
proclamation which established the
precedent for Thanksgiving Day, as
we now observe it, and which set
apart the last Thursday 10 November
as day of thanksgiving anC praise.
So the day of thanksgiving first
observed more than 500 years ago
by one small section of the country,
and celebrated at irregular intervals
even by the people of that section,
has become fixture in our calendar,
observed on a nationwide scale, UNI
til with all of the tradition which
has gathered around it, it is one of
the most important events in the
yearly existence of the average
American.

1t is conservative to estimate that
the employees of the canning estab-
lishments in this State were benefit
ed by approximately. $1,000 600, in
the form of higher wages, and the
farmers benefited by about the same
amount through the increased prices
for corn and tomatoes.

BUSINESS HIGH LIGHTS IN

Efforts of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration to bring about
better conditions in the canning in
dustry met with much financial sue
cess to both the employees in the
canning establishments and to the
farmers.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1933-11-24

The Administration prevailed upon
the canning interests to increase
prices paid to farmers for corn and
tomatoes by about 20 to 25 per cent,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Gamers already had entered into
contractual relations with the farmer
at a lower price.
