FEDERAL PLAN FOR FINAN-
CHG HOMES

| A far-reaching plan TO make it
possible for Americans to have more
comfortable homes and at the same
time furnish an impetus to the lag
ging heavy" industries is the next
key step in President Roosevelt S
scheme for more abundant life
for the nation.
AS much as $500, 100000 may
be set free in the first year of this
program, which will reach into the
dingy slums as we'll as to some of
the most isolated farmhouses. The
plan, now an important subject of
discussion in National Emergency
Council meetings, will involve the
NRA, the Federal Relief Admins
tration, the Home Owners Loan
Corporation, the PWA, the Subsis-
tence HomesteadsN Corporation and
the Farm Credit Administration.
CWA workers this winter went
from farmhouse to farmhouse in
800 counties asking farmers and
their wives what they could do if
they had $500 to spend on their
house. The results now being tab
ulated show interesting facts.
For instance, in Perkins county,
Nebrasga, where there are approx
mately 1000 farm houses, BAL said
they would build additional rooms,
329 needed water systems, 264 could
use bathroom equipment, 24S need
to replace, interior walls, ceilings and
floors, 176 would build new exter-
ior wall. 144 would re roof their
houses, 139 would buy new furnish
ings and 112 would purchase doors.
windows and screens.
A similar story was told in the
other 299 counties which represent
ed every state in the union. Alrea-
dy federal architects are at work on
plans fro improved farm homes.

NEW SUBSTITUTE FOR cwA

Generalization of the vast Civil
Works army by May l will not leave
the unemployed and their families
stranded. President Roosevelt has
announced a reorganized national
relief program to be substituted for
the Civil Works program. This new
federal aid proposes three different
methods of relief: For the distressed
families in rural areas; for stranded
populations in communities where
industries have died; and for unem-
ployed in large cities. The $780,
100000 relief appropriation granted
by Congress will be sufficient to
carry out the new program until the
spring of 1885.
In the new set-up it is planned to
provide the kind of relief in rural
areas that will make it possible for
needy families to raise enough food
for themselves and to earn little
cash with which to supply other
needs. The families in single in
dustry communities are to be moved
to subsistence homestead projects
where they can work part time in
small factories. For the unemploy-
ed city workers new work projects
will be started. All of these meth
DDS of relief fit in with the Presi-
dents long-range plans for making
this better country in which to
live. The new plan is to be substi-
tuted gradually as the CWA is dis
banded and in this way no one ac-
tually in need is expected to suffer

MOTOR PATROL ASSISTS
MOTORISTS

More than 5000 motorists have
been assisted in various ways on the
highways by the new Motor Patrol
OF the Keystone Automobile Club,
according to information made pub
lie by ]. Maxwell Smith, the Clubs
General Manager, in report cover
ing Keystone's public activities in
1888.
Operating on the highways of
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Mary
land, the Motor patrol has covered
$4,000 miles in six months, render
ing medical First Aid, mechanical
assistance and giving directional
and road information to 1886 driv-
ers. The services included treat
ment and bandaging of persons in
jured in accidents, extinguishing
fires, initiating tires and supplying
stranded motorists with gas. water
or oil.
Besides giving aid to individual
motorists, without cost or obligation.
the Patrol takes an active part in
organization and supervision of
School Safety Patrols, and in assist
ing police in the handling of traffic
emergencies. .
There was unprecedented demand
for touring information last year,
according to Mr.. Smiths report.
Offices in this and the other states in
which the Club is active handled

Evangelist John Moses Baker
Baltimore, Md.
Let us fill all our days with the best
that we can,
That our life may be happy and
free;
Frightening some weary way, every
moment and day,
On a storm-tossed and trouble
some sea.
Let us be what the Master would
have us to be;
His will all our joy and delight,
In our service for Him, that some
soul we may win,
And save from the darkness of
night.
Let us keep our eyes ever on His
Gospel light,
Shining down from the heaven
above;
And drinking alone from the foun-
tain or lire,
Gods redeeming. and wonderful
love.
And then when life's journey is end
ed below,
In the beautiful home of the soul
We will join the glad choir around
the white throne,
Where surges shall never more
roll.

is being compiled throughout the
State and soon after March 81,
when the CWA ceased, a compre-
hensive picture will be presented, ac-
cording to an announcement at CWA
headquarters.
The total expenditures of the
CWA, from it's inception March "a
the payroll was $6,S09,179.e6. To
this will be added the payroll for the
final week, ending March 81, and
this is expected to push the payroll
grand total over the $7,o00,00O
mark. Total expenditures Tor ma
terial are expected to exceed ST.
100000.
The payroll for the week ending
March "a was $345,724.36, shared

PLENTY OF KNOWLEDGE
LET'S USE 1T


That people may not forget what
public health does for them, a cam
paign has been organized beginning
throughout the country April LIST,
under the slogan: Tuberculosis
Robs You, Public Health Protects
You"
The campaign is sponsored by the
National tuberculosis Association,
and more than two thousand affiliat-
ed tuberculosis associations will CO.
operate in their respective localities.
In Maryland the campaign will be in
charge of the Maryland tuberculosis
Association.
These past years of worry, strain,
undertaking and neglect of per-
sonal health have left deep wounds.
That heavy scars may not remain,
especially among young children,
health recovery must accompany
economic recovery. Individuals act
ing alone cannot safeguard the milk
supply, provide adequate school and
visiting nursing service, protect
children from communicable di-
seases, such as diphtheria, measles
and tuberculosis. The degree to
which the public health work of any
locality meets its needs is not a mat
ter Of haphazard guess work. There
are certain standards of safety set
by health authorizes, which can be
applied to every community.
tuberculosis associations are es-
pecially interested in this campaign
because the nature of tuberculosis is
such that its control is responsive to
every Improvement in public health
generally. Everything that is done
to safeguard health, helps to reduce
tuberculosis.
For use in the campaign, special
articles will be sent to newspapers
and magazines. Movies viii be ex-

Mother Dead, Little Boy
Telephones For "Grandma"

That was the grandmother's name.
She looked through her list Of
names and, still using her ingenuity,
connected the little boy with the home
Of Mrs. C. M. Barnes at 1450 River
mont Avenue. Sure enough, that was
correct, for she sensed the little boys
feeling of relief when Mrs. Barnes
answered.
Grandma" said the little boy,
"Can come up there?"

why?"
"l'm all alone," the boy replied.
isn't your mother at home?" Mrs.
Barnes asked.
The boy was almost weeping now.

on the floor and doesn't say any.

What happened after that was just
so much routine for the operator, who
must be prepared for any and all
emergencies.

have happened at the Hubbard's,
wanted doctor sent there in hurry.
They couldn't find one, SO Mrs. Taylor
volunteered to locate one for them.
She did, and the doctor subsequently
found that Mrs. Hubbard was dead.
Then she located relative of the
Hubbards and sent him hurrying to
the aid Of the little boy.
After that she went back to the
more or less humdrum job of being
telephone supervisor. But her val
liable help has already been reported
to telephone officials, who have COM
mended her.
They also had lot to say in praise
of the little boys presence of mind.
"What other youngstor of five or six
would have thought first of telephon
ing for help in such situation? - they
asked.
But without patient operator to
"humor" what many another adult
would have mistaken for a childish
"whim," the story might have been
different.

The story Of how a telephone oper-
ator's devotion to duty brought help
to a terrified little boy who was alone
In the house where his mother had
just died, was disclosed recently by
the Lynchburg, (Va.) Daily Advance.
A signal light flashed on the switch
board in the central office of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company of Virginia. The operator
plugged in her jack with the usual
monotoned Number, please" A little
boys thin treble responded. There
was a hint Of fear in the voice.
II want my grandma" he said.
The operator was limited in her ac-
tions. She could say Number,
please" and few formula-like
phrases Of that sort, but the rules
didn't allow her to ask the youngster
who his grandmother was. So she
switched him to the supervisor, Mrs.
Elsie M. Taylor, to whom he repeated
his request.
"W hat is your grandmother's
rame?" Mrs. Taylor wanted to know.
'hc had sensed disturbed, excited
tone in the boys speech.
The boy said name that sounded
Ike "Brown" or "Bowles." The oper-
ator couldn't be certain, so she tried
another tack. "Do you know where
your grandmother lives?" she asked
eyes, she lives up the street in a
/ g white house on the corner" the
boy replied. Obviously this descrip-
ton, as minute as it was, didn't help
the operator much. So she tried
something else.
"What is your name?" she de-
manded.
a." said the little boy, "am Lloyd
Hubbard, Jr."
Mrs. Taylor's mind suddenly began
to put two and two together. She
remembered something about Miss
Barnes marrying Mr.. Hubbard.
"Barnes, Barnes, Brown, Bowles,' she
thought. Yes, that was it. What the
little boy had said, and what she could
not understand, had been "Barnes."

SPRING BURNING DESTROYS
WILDLTFE

II is very unfortunate that the
landowners and tenants Of our state,
as a rule, annually burn over areas
on their their property Of brush,
weeds, ETC., especially during the
spring season. This spring burning
Is one Of the most destructive agents
to wildlife and especially to all
ground-nesting birds and animals.
Great destruction Is also caused by
carelessness of those In charge Of the
burnings, by allowing the fire to get
away from them, often damaging
their neighbours property. We have
annually pointed out to the public
the destructiveness OF spring burn
ing. However, many believe that
the burning causes grass to grow
quicker, The scientific experts on
agriculture have repeatedly shown
that 1t does not and that the fire Of
ten destroys the roots and In all
cases weakens the plant. Hence,
spring burning defeats the purpose
the landowner would have II serve.
Spring burning destroys nesting
covers, nests and young and often
mother birds upon them, and baby
cotton-tail rabbits are destroyed in
their nests. II you have dense
broom sedge growth that you feel
needs burning, then 1t should be I'M
der careful supervision and only
thinned out, leaving patches for
nesting birds, as small patches of
thin growth of broom-sedge are very
desirable as nesting areas for bob
white
If you beside to eliminate weeds
and broom-sedge from your areas,
blowing is by far the best means and
If the area is not planted in crops,
new growth will come back and fur
niish food and cover for the follow
ing Fall and Winter for wildlife.
If you anticipate cutting over your
area this spring, by all means use
the famous flushing BAR which is
a very simple arrangement--take
long pole and lash it to the yoke
and extending TO the right, in front
of the flushing bar, draping the pole
with burlap sacks, using stone or
iron to weight the sacks at the bot
tom or ropes attached the the pole
with iron at bottom as weight. In
this manner, birds or animals either
nesting or feeding on the area will
be flushed before the cutting blade
reaches the point where the bird or
animal is. Wherever this system
has been used thousands of birds
and small animals have been saved.
Maryland, without question of
doubt, has the best muskrat areas of
The Atlantic Coast. The entire
Chesapeake Bay country furnishes
excellent breeding areas for Mary
lands famous black muskrat and
great many of the marshland owners
have a habit of burning these areas
annually which is very detrimental
indeed to this great little bur-bear-
inganimal, ofttimes destroying their
homes and we advise If you desire to
eliminate certain homes on your
marshes, tear them down instead of
burning the area. The burning of
these marsh areas is also very de-
structive to the nesting areas of the
famous black duck and blue winged
teal which breed in the muskrat
marshes.

Throughout the length and bread
tn of the United States, arrange
ments are under way for this years
observance of Child Health Day.
Maryland will take part, as usual, in
the celebration of the day that has
been set aside In order that nation
wide attention may be focused upon
the health needs of the children Of
this country.
Tucked away among the various
official Acts of the Congress of the
United States, is one that was passed
on May IA, 1928, and that DEGREES
that May Day-the fidst day Of May
shall be celebrated annually thru
out the United States, as Child
Health Day. To insure the nation
wide observance of the day, each
year since then, the President
of the United States has issued
proclamation calling upon the peo-
pie of this couontry to give special
consideration on Child Health Day,
to the furtherance of activities for
the protection and development OF
the physical and mental health of
the children and young people of
this nation. The governors of all
of the States and the mayors Of
many cities have followed with sim
liar messages urging local observ-
ance of the day or recommending
specific action in accordance with
specific needs.
The Act further specifies that the
United States flag shall be displayed
! on all government buildings on
Child Health Day, and asks that 1t
be displayed, also on other suitable
places-not to commemorate some
great national event, or The deeds of
some hero-but as reminder of the
health protection that should be af-
forded to our nations greatest as
set, the children of today-the
grown-ups of tomorrow--upon whom
will rest, eventually, the duty and
burden of carrying on the RESPONSE
bilities of citizenship.
In announcing the plans for par
ticipation in the nationwide observ-
ance of Child Haelth Day, DR. R. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health said: "Child Health
Day in Maryland, marks the begin
ming, each spring, of activities that
are carried on all the year round,
throughout the State, for the promo
ton of the health and well-t eng of
the children and growing girls and
boys of the commonwealth health
conferences, clinics for protection
recreational activities.
"Dr. j. H. M. Knox, Jr., the Chief
of the Bureau of Child Hygiene of
the State Department of Health, is
Chairman of the Maryland Child
Health Day Committee. Associated
with him as members of the Com
mittee are representatives of State,
City and County Departments of
Health and of Education: of State
and County medical societies; par

clubs; boy and girl scouts; recrea-
tional groups, organizations con-
cerned with the care of children who
are physically or mentally handicap
ped; and other groups devoted to
furthering the health and welfare of
mothers and young children"
