FUNDS FOR PUBLIC works
Chairman OF State Advisory Board
Urges Immediate Action

In announcing that his office had
recommended a total of $8,5S6,792
in Maryland applications for public
works money, William G. Stettinius,
chairman of the State Advisory
Board advises counties and cities in
tending to seek such funds TO file a
statement of their needs and plans
with the board promptly.
By doing SO Immediately, he said,
they may save weeks of time Wait
ing for the General Assembly to
meet in its forthcoming special ses-
sion and provide them with enabling
acts before applying to thu board
was not necessary.
Explains Procedure
BY applying now before the Legis-
lature meets, the counties and cities
may have their public work plans
examined by the State board at once.
If found feasible, these plans will be
sent to Washington with the recon-
mendation of the board, and if their
ultimate approval is secured there,
the applicants, in all probability, will
be in a position to advertise for bids
by the time the General Assembly
grants them their enabling acts.
Mr.. Stettinius encouraged commu-
mites contemplating improvements
to get in touch with his Office. Pos
sibly never again would they have
such favorable circumstances. Thir-,
ty per cent of the cost OF labor and
materials on all approved projects,
ne emphasized, would be paid out
right by the, Federal Government.
Interest at 4 Per Cent
And the remainer of the expenses
would be financed with money bor
rowed at four per cent-an unusual
ly attractive rate of interest for
counties and communities that ordi-
narily pay more on their bouds, the
chairman added.
All told, fiity-four applications
have been received by the board. OF
this number, thirty-two have been
sent to Washington with the Mary
land body's recommendation And
of the thirty-two forwarded to the
Capital, sixteen have been approved
and have had funds set aside for
them. Work will get under way as
quickly as contracts between the
Federal Government and borrower
are signed.
$2,O51,7O7 Allotted
The total funds already allotted
amount to S2,051,707. Total funds
recommended by the State board to
Washington amount to $S.5S6,792,
as stated above, and total funds ap-
piled for come to S17,336,74G.
BY applying promptly, Mr.. Stet-
tinius asserted, many of the Mary
land communities might be in a po-
sition to start work on their projects
before severe weather sets in, and
thereby go long way toward allev-
iating their unemployment problems.

AUTOMOBILE SAFETY CAM
PAIGN

After November 18th whe,l the
SAVE-A-LIFE CAMPAIGN ends,
an automobile or truck eli the
streets and highways without a
sticker will be violating the law just
as much as if it were without license
tags, according to a statement from
Z. Austin Baughman, Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles. AutoE and
trucks which are not inspected by
that date will be barred from using
the highways until an inspection has
been properly made.
In making the above announce
ment, Colonel Baughman explained
that it has been called to his atten-
ton that some motorists arc taking
the whole SAVE-A-LIFE CAM
PAIGN none too seriously and that
he wants to make it distinctly under
stood to all, that inspection is COM
pulsory by state law and it is his job
to see that it is carried out.
Much has been said about the
aims and purposes of the SAVE-A-
LIFE CAMPAIGN" Colonel Baugh-
man said, ''and the public has been
asked to cooperate with my depart
ment in making the campaign a sue
cess by having the cars and trucks
in the state inspected during the
first days of the inspection period.
l must say that the number of in
spections that have been made so
far is anything but gratifying
I'm the past it has been my ex-
perience that motorists are prone to
put off having their cars inspected
until the latter part of the cam
paign. This has always resulted in
a jam and inconvenience not only to
the motorists. but to my depar tment
1t seems that the same conditions
are destined to be prevalent this
year.
II can only repeat that autos and
trucks which are not inspected by
November 18th will not be permit
ted on the highways and streets of
the State of Maryland"
The inspection includes testing of
brakes, lights, horn, steering mech
anism, rear view mirror, muller,
windshield wiper, faulty, cracked or
discolored glass. position of license
tags, and operators license. Autos
which pass satisfactory inspection
are issued a yellow sticker which is
pasted in the lower right corner of
the windshield.

MILK PRODUCERS GET IN
CREASE In PRICES
Price Raised About Twenty-Four
Cents Per Hundred Pounds


Milk producers in the vicinity of
Rising Sun have been granted
substantial increase in the price of
milk, as 1a1ult CT changes in the
marketing agreement for the Phila-
delphia Milk She'd Ar announce
ment from A. A. A. ccials al Wash
ington last Thursday stated that
milk D.. es TO producers in the Phil
q ~eiphia area were being Increased
about : Il cents a hundred pounds,
OF slightly more than half il cent a
quart. This increase is effective as
of October 10Th
These changes include elimination
of Scent handling charge on milk
delivered direct, reducing the coun-
try receiving station chai ge from %
to 16 cents a hundred pounds and
charging carload freight rates in
stead of L. C. l.. rates from receiving
station to terminal market which
makes another saving of to Is
cents or more a hundred, depending
on distance.
In addition, the price of milk was
increased 10 cents hundred
pounds, producers hereafter getting
S2.S6 for milk testing 3.75 Der cent
butterfat, as compared to that price
for percent milk before the change.
Another change is that all milk sold
in bulk by dealers must be included
as Glass 1, thereby increasing the
proportion of Glass l milk enough to
add about 2 cents a hundred to the
price.
These changes in prices will net
the producers from Is to 81 cents
more per hundred pounds, depend
ing upon distance from Philadelphia,
more distant producers getting the
larger increases because of greater
savings in freight charges.
It is asserted that the Inter State
Milk Producers Association made
formal request to the A. A. A for
these changes and has been working
on them for months.
These price changes, it is under
stood, extend to all producers ship
ping milk for fluid consumption in
the Philadelphia Milk Shed. 1t will
mean about 100000 more month
to those farmers alone who are sell
ing milk in Philadelphia with addi-
tional thousands for producers sell
ing in secondary markets.

FARM STRIKE WILL NOT SOLVE
PROBLEM

Charles T. Cockey, President of
the Maryland Farm Bureau FEEDER
alton, issued "a statement this week
in which he expressed serious doubt
that the farm strike, as proposed,
would even if carried out, solve tho
farmers problem. "No one appre-
ciates more than we do said Mr..
Cockey, "the seriousness of the
farmers situation and the import
ance of restoring agriculture in the
interest of national prosperity On
the other hand, it has been the be-
lief for some time, among those who
have tried to analyze this problem,
that the difficulty of the farmers
could be solved, not i,y fighting
among themselves, but ny laying
down a program that would change
our system which has brought US to
lhis state of affairs. "This move
ment is now under way, he said,
and l honestly believe we are head
ed in the right direction
at was the Farm Bureau and the
Grange that proposed to the Presi-
dent last spring the principe s of a
program that finally has taken shape
in the Agricultural Adjustment Adj
ministration and the Farm Credit
Administration. Unfortunately, there
are many farmers who do not ap-
preciate what these agencies are try
ing to do and have felt that the gov
eminent officials in charge did not
fully appreciate their problem
Nothing could be furthe" from
the truth" continued Mr. Cockey.
This entire program is based upon
getting our production in line with
the consumers demand, based upon
not what we believe the consuming
public should buy, but upon condi-
lions as they actually exist; and fur
Their, upon providing the machinery
for helping the farmer to refinance
his obligations by scaling his indebt-
edness to point that would enable
him to refnance through the Farm
Credit Administration which has
been set up"
Mr.. Cockey said that the Maryland
farmers fully sympathized with the
af hn 70
but that the Farm Bureau through
out the country was end eavoIing to
rally the saner minds in agriculture
to the development of cooperative
constructive program, rather than
one of force. Along these lines he
pointed out that, at the request of
Governor Morgenthau, Jr., of the
Farm Credit Administration various
states had appointed advisory COM
mittees to help farmers scale down
their Indebtedness in cooperation
with their creditors. The committee
for, Maryland, which was announced
last week by Governor Richie and
which held it's first meeting on
Thursday, consisted of ME- Coekey;
Miles H. Fairbank, Secretary-Treas-
urer of the Maryland Farm Bureau
Federation; Senator A. G. Ensor,
Master of the State Grange; DR.. T.

TALMADGE CALLED
HEADL|NE-HUNTER'
Hopkins Says Georgia Exec.
utive's c. w. A. Wage Pro-
test Is "Yapping."

Charges by Gov Talmadge of Georgia
that the Civil Works Administration was
hiring away farm help in the South,
were characterized yesterday as ''yap-
ping" and headline hunting" by Harry
L. Hopkins, civil works administrator.
At the same time, Hopkins wired Gen.
r. D. Henderson, chairman of the civil
works at Columbus, Ohio. to investigate
reports that employees are leaving sew
eral Toledo concerns to take c. w. A.
Jobs.
At Atlanta, Talmadge said: II have
argued to the Federal authorities in
Washington the injustice done by hav-
ing a scale of wages different from the
scale that private business is able to
pay in the same community. To this
argument they have turned a deaf ear"
So Hopkins replied:
All that guy is after is headlines
He doesn't contribute a dime, but he's
always yapping. Some people just can't
stand to see others make living wage"
He added that the C. w. A. program
will be finished before the farmers
Spring work demands additional labor.
Hopkins has launched determined
campaign to prevent workers from de-
sertlng private jobs to take civil works
employment. He doesn't believe there
Is great deal of this sort of thing.
but where it is found, he has ordered
that the men be discharged by the
C. w. A
His wire to Gen. Henderson said:
Please advise Immediately merits of
accusation that employees are leaving
the Spicer Manufacturing Co., the
Valve Bag Co., the Genderon Wheel
Co. and the Toledo Metal Wheel Co.,
all of Toledo, to take civil works jobs
If true, this directly in opposition
to our rule and regulations, which pre-
scribeS that no man so engaged should
be given employment.
Absolutely essential that no man be
permitted to work on civil works who
was already employed, and il these
charges are true it would seem to war
rant our cutting down civil works quota
In Toledo at once Please get names
from offices mentioned of the men that
left their employ"
Last night the c. w. A. announced
that a $6,868,275 allotment from its
funds will be used to employ 3l,500
men in the national forests and ex-
pertinent stations. Most of these men
