REPEAL WITHOUT CONTROL

In commenting on the wet major
tiles being returned as State after
State votes on the repeal question,
the Christian Science Monitor says:
This voting is indication that the
United States is face to face with
the need for new defenses against in
vasion by one of it's oldest enemies
liquor. 1t is not the fall of the
Eighteenth Amendment W h C b
should cause the most concern at
this time. 1t is the fact that, while
the prohibition law is in process Of
being abandoned, apparently little
thought is being given to the prob
lem of protecting the public from
the inevitable results of thi; rejec-
ton.
st is time some gestures in the
direction of liquor control were be-
ing made by those who contributed
so much to a so-called temperance
versus-prohibition campaign. That
the gestures may not be impressive
enough to attract attention should
not surprise many. Attention
should be led away from the fact
that some peoples sincere desire for
reform is not the only motive under
lying the assault on prohibition.
Many of it's most active enemies
were actuated by the hope of profits
from the sale of liquor.
Enthusiasm of those who want to
sell and those who want to drink
liquor should not be allowed to OBJ
scure the fact that only one side of
prohibition reform" is so far being
accomplished. The other side-the
side which sincere citizens who voted
wet hoped to aids getting woeful-
ly little attention. Among states
recently declaring for repeal are
some that were dry strongholds in
the past. Perhaps from these will
come the much-needed impetus to-
ward adequate liquor control"

GIT READY FOR FIRE PREVEN-
TION WEEK

On October 8, Fire Prevention
Week will make its 1888 start.
Once more a great organized effort
will be made to impress upon the
nation the waste, the non-necessity
and the tragedy of fire.
During past years steadily in
creasing number of cities and towns
have Joined in the week. The open
ing gun is fired by the President Of
the United States, who issues a
proclamation calling upon every cit
izen to help make America safer
against the ravages of fire. Many
Governors follow with prOclama-
lions of their own, as do city officials.
Insurance organizations, civic clubs,
chambers of commerce, newspapers,
trade associations and fire depart
ments enlist together to make the
Week a success.
Past Fire Prevention Weeks have
done much good. and saved thous-
ands Of lives and millions of dollars
worth of property But the public
has only half-learned the lessons Of
fered-fire loss drops sharply during
the week and for few weeks fol-
lowing, and then rises again to pre-
vious levels Too many, when the
first flush of enthusiasm has passed,
drop back into old habits that allow
fire hazards to grow and multiply.
Fire Prevention Week should
mean even more than usual this
year. The United States has started
on the road to business recovery
and that recovery would unques-
tionably be expedited if the hundreds
of millions we waste annually thru
fire, could be saved. Every citizen
should regard it as his duty and
privilege to take an interest in Fire
Prevention Week and to practice it's
teachings throughout the, entire
year.

Nations Average

Plant Are $1.25 Cheaper Than
Nations Average
An electric bill in the rehabilitat-
ed Tennessee Valley, with power
furnished from the publicly-owned
plant at Muscle Shoals, will be about
S1.5O a month for the same amount
of service for which the average
American consumer pays $2.75.
For $3.50 he can buy so kilowatt
hours of electricity, according to
rates announced by the Ten
nessee Valley Authority after weeks
of careful study of costs and market
factors. This, it is estimated, will
care for the lights and small cleo
trical appliances such as iron, toast
er, perculator,~ vacuum sweeper,
washing machine and similar small
devices for the ordinary medium
sized house.
The maximum of cents kilo-
watt hour, established for domestic
electric consumers in the valley,
compares with an average 5.58 cents
kilowatt hour for the entire United
States in 1882, according to figures
compiled by the electrical industry.
Moreover, the power will be sold
by blocks, so that if domestic con-
sumner has an electric stove and cleo
trio refrigerator which together con-
sumo 200 kilowatt hours, $50 of
these he would get for 2 cents and
the remaining SO at one cent.
"The farm user" said Mr.. David
Lilienthal, member of the board of
the authority, will pay the same
rate for energy as the town and city
householder. Farm users will have
a larger minimum requirement
wherever the greater distances be-
tween customers result in increased
costs of service" The wholesale
cost to municipalities will range
around seven mills a kilowatt hour.
''It is apparent" said Mr.. Lilien-
thai, that the rates proposed are
possible the widest use of electric
possible the widest use of electric
service, with all the individual and
community benefits which go with
such wide use. The power project
is designed to be strictly self-sup-
porting and self-liquidating. We
believe that these low rates will
mean that the people of the valley
will greatly increase their use of

HERE AND THERE in THE
COUNTIES

From recent reports of the county
Director of the State Department of
Health
Young Children Protected against
Smallpox and Diphtheria: 1t is es-
timated that about 200 children
from Calvert county will enter
school this year. Practically all of
them have been vaccinated against
smallpox They have also been i'm
munized against diphtheria.
Domestic Animals as Carriers of
Disease: In connection with the
ten cases of Rocky Mountain spotted
fever (tick-bite fever) that were re-
ported from Carroll county in May
and June, it is interesting to note
that the dog belonging to one of the
families in which the disease occur
red, was sick before the disease de-
veloped in the household; that six
of the eight tame rabbits belonging
TO another family died just before or
during the presence of the disease in
the family; and that the pet cat of
third family was sick prior to the
development of the disease in that
household. The ten cases of tick
bite fever reported from this county,
occurred in four families who lived
on adjoining properties. There
were no domestic animals at the
home of the fourth family, but a
number of rats were observed on the
premises. OF the ten cases, seven
were of marked severity. Two of
the patients died

Child Health Conferences: Among
the child health conferences for
babies and children under school
age, held in Howard county during
the summer was one which took
place in the Office of one of the How

lions were made by the Chief of the
Bureau of Child Hygiene. The con-

cause it was the first in this county
held in physicians office. Twen-
ty-five children were brought in for
examination and the mothers who
attended seemed greatly interested.
Every effort was made to impress
upon them the Importance of regular

ferences can be arranged in the
practice of other physicians in the

TO THE MILK PRODUCERS


We read much these days in the
press relative to the milk business.
Many producers are finding fault
with our Interstate Milk Producers
Association because it's officers have
helped to draft the new milk code.
The critics, as near as I can as
certain, offer no constructive sugges-
tions but constantly want to find
fault with their own organization
and it's officers.
think we are all agreed that the
milk situation is not as we would
like to have it. Everything cannot
be accomplished in day but be-
ginning has been made in the Milk
Code and it offers the opportunity
for changes as they are needed.
So many want to do away with the
Basic and Surplus plan but they have
no better plan to offer. Some feel it
has served it's purpose and that it
has out lived it's usefulness. Surely
we have to have some check on over
production and keep a uniform sup
ply. Let those who have better
plan speak up or forever hold their
peace.
Some feel our President, Mr.. Allie
bach, is not serving the best interest
of the producers he represents and
should be dismissed. They feel he
is working for the distributors in
terest.
Mr.. Allebach is a producer also
and l doubt if there is a person in
the Philadelphia Milk Shed or any
other who has worked and fought
harder for the dairymen's interest
than he.
If the critics would look up the
facts first and then talk they would
have better understanding of the
situation and talk more intell1gently.
I doubt if there is body of men
who have the interest OF the pro-
ducers at heart more than oul Board
of Directors and Officers.
l note several are withdrawing
their membership from the Inter-
state in certain sections. What
will they accomplish by their with
drawal and joining one of the mush-
room organizations whose purpose
seems to be to fight their own bust
ness interest and defeat their own
purpose? l note the President of
the Farmers Protective Association
walked out of joint meeting of the
opposition because the other organ
izations present would not join his
association. What did this accom-
plish.
Let's have cooperation and con-
Structive criticism and all get to-
gether in one organization and for
get our petty personal grievances
and SO forward with a united front
for the betterment of the industry
and all concerned. United we stand
and divided we fall. If the Inter-
state is not conducted as it should
be let all factions get together
around common table and thresh
out our problems and then all pull
together for bigger and better In
terstate Milk Producers Association

FREE EDUCATION In u. s.
DECLARED ON CRU
CIAL TEST

The United States must either
abandon the ideal of free education
for all the children" or must increase
payments for it's support.
This ultimatum was deliv cred in
report of the National Conference
on the Financing of Education, set
ting forth the minimum educational
responsibilities of community, state
and nation toward maintaining the
fundamental of free schooling. The
S0-page report was mailed Septem
Der IL to thousands of state and To-
cal educational leaders who will sub
nit it to citizens for rejection,
change or approval. When revised,
the report will be considered as a
.'fair expression of the American ed
ucational IDEAL" and will serve as
the basis for planning of the nations
educational program for years to
come.
The current financial difficulties
of education according to the pref
ace of the report, are due TO the in
sufficient system by which education
is financed in the United States as
well as to the general economic sit
uation. In Chicago, it is poinIed out,
the fiscal system broke down in 1928
full year before the recession in
business began.
Adoption by every community of
education for its children, below
which school standards shall not at
any time be allowed to fall, is urged
in the report. This minimum pro-
gram is to be determined through a
study of local needs within the states
and is to be supported by local, state
and, under certain conditions, by
federal funds.
Discontinuance of undue depend
ence upon the property tax or any
single source of revenue is &dvocat-
ed, as we'll as transfer of a larger
part of school support from local to
state governments. The necessity
of developing most efficient system
of tax administration and collection
is also pointed out.
Many methods of economizing
without injuring the fundamentals
of education are set forth in the re-
port. These include suggestion for
budgetary procedure, accounting and
auditing practices, adequate research
and supervisory services, uniform
specifications for purchase of sup
plies, adequate training of janitors
or other employees, insurance and
low-cost transportation.
A plan for permanent federal par
ticipation in school support is rec
commended in the report Mean
while, it was added, funds should be
provided from the Federal Govern
ment during the emergency to re-
store educational opportunities
where denied or greatly restricted
by emergency economic conditions"
and needed school buildings should
be constructed with public works
funds.
A reshaping of policies would in
clude, among other things, the provi-
sion of suitable education at public
expense, until employment is advis-
able and ebtainable;" maintenance
of economic compensation for teach
ers appropriate to the Importance
of their work." and employment of
school personnel sufficient to permit
considerate attention to the individ-
ual needs of each child.

BOY, 4, To HIKE
1900 MILES

William Earle Gates, 4, of Mem
phis, Tenn, is tired of hitch-hik-
ing and doesn't care who knows
it. With his father and mother,
Mr.. and Mrs. David Gates, the
boy hitch-hiked all the way from
Memphis to Washington-and
now he wants to go home; but
he doesn't want to hitch-hike.
Hitch-hiking in this day is not
what it used to be-so this trio
walked the best part of 1900
miles to Washington so that the
elder Gates could see a Govern
ment physician about a spinal in
jury he received while working
on the Mississippi.
David Gates, unable to read or
write. was told that Uncle Sam
would take care of him and his
family. Hence the trek to Wash
ington.
Father Is Cripple
That "Old Man River" and
Dave Gates have been boon COM
panions since Gates was Is years
old. Then, he went to work for the
Government, driving piles, any
thing in the way of manual labor.
Now he is a cripple, as DR.. John
Alton Talbot, of the Medical
Building, testifies, and should be
sent back home-but the Govern
ment cannot do that. Gates was
examined by DR.. Talbot at the re-
quest of the United States EN-
ployment Commission.
While getting ready to turn
around and hitch-hike to Mem
phiS, their old home town, the
Gates are the guests of the Volun-
teerS of America-who are not any
too high on funds themselves.
However, rather than see this
family sleep out in the park, as
they have been doing, the Volun-
teers are caring for the Gates.
