WHAT WAR VETS THINK

One class of citizens, in the United
States not fooled by the Establishments
of those who would Commit US to in
ternational POLITICAL tribunals are the
veterans of our foreign wars. These
sturdy soldiers haveteen &across" and
they know what it all peans.. Conse-
quently they are in favor of Uncle
Sans remaining atlho4ne to mind his
own business and to- reinforce that
by building up the defensive tft2r arma-
ments.
Consequently it is not surprising to
note that the other evening, in the
Nations capital, the World War vet
Grams denounced proposals for Ameri-
can entry into the League Court and
called on Uncle Sam to keep out of
foreign entanglements. National Com
mander James E. VanZandt, of the
Veterans of Foerign Wars, said, in
a written statement:
Adherence to the so-called World
Court is merely subterfuge for en-
trance in the League of Nations thru
the back door, and is so intended by
those un-American propagandists who
attempt to force the issue through de-
liberate hired misrepresentation to
the public at large"
Continuing, Commander VanZandt
said:
"To commit the United States to
adherence to the World Court is to
cast aside the constitutional policies
under which has been builded a just
and powerful and prosperous nation in
the short span of $50 years"
There is no reason to believe that
our entrance into the World Court
will avoid a world war. 1t is much
more apt to involve US in war if one
comes about. We have no interest in
European political questions involving
European boundaries and alleged
European minorities. We have enough
troubles at home and it will be well
if we keep our statesmen busy here
and center our attention on looking
after Americans first. That has been
our policy during most of our national
existence from the time of Washing
ton and Jefferson down to the pres
ent. Under it we have generally pros
pered. A great many of our troubles,
especially those of recent years, have
been due to our taking too much in
terest in the affairs of Europe.

WHILE WAITING
Acts 17:16: While Paul waited for them at
Athens.
By REV. WALTER B. BROCK

Acts 17:l6: While Paul waited for them al
Athens.
The Apostle was waiting for Silas
and Timothy, his, co-workers, to join
him that he might renew his great
evangelistic campaign in new fields
He was waiting for them at Athens,
as you and l often wait at an appoint
ed place for friends who fail to ar
rive at the appointed time.
Life is full of interruptions, delays,
and unforeseen emergencies. What dc
we do? We try to "kill time" Wait
ing is a miserable occupation, and
happy is he who can kill time with
the most murderous weapons.
But how did st. Paul while away the
weary hours? Read the 18th chapter
of Acts. He did not kill time: he made
time live! He gathered up the scraps
of time that you or I would have
thrown away and wove them into a
fabric that is one of the priceless her
itages of the Christian church. He
filled those spare moments so full of
wisdom and power that they stand
out among the most important mo-
ments of history.
Paul was one of those obstinate
persons who insist on turning every
handicap into an advantage, every
enforced delay into a short cut to his
goal.

WELFARE BOARD FORMS
ANOTHER SEWING CLASS
Sixteen Attend Opening Session
At Kitzmiller Last Friday

Sixteen women attended the sewing
class opened in the Maryland Theatre
building at Kitzmiller last Friday,
January 10, by the Garrett County
Welfare Board. Mrs. Edward Minard,
of Deer Park, is instructor, under the
supervision of Miss Margaret Burtis,
Home Demonstration Agent.
Sheets, pillow cases and toweling
were hemmed and straw ticks made
up. Each seamstress engaged in the
work took home with her the bedding
she had finished.
The material for the sheets, pillow
cases, toweling and ticks are supplied
by the Surplus Foods Corporation for
distribution to clients of the Welfare
Board and must be made up before
being taken into the homes.
Tomorrow the class will meet again
to remodel old clothing. Similar
classes are being conducted regularly
in Deer Park, Oakland, Swanton and
Fricndsville.
Six women started work on the
Work Relief Sewing Project opened
in Friendsville Monday to make up
bed linen, ticks and comforters for
distribution in families who are unable
to make their own. These women are
the wage earners in their families and
are being paid the usual Work Relief
wage.
The government is not supplying
thread or sewing machines for this
project, the ruling being that the
county or private organizations in the
county must make these contributions.

machines will be of great help in get

is so badly needed.

Connecticut real estate, publicly and privately owned, which is ex- SFnpt from taxation in this state, now totals $54s,419,S46, State Tax Commissioner William H. aackett announced to-day.

As a result, the exempt property now represents 18.46 per cent of the total grand lisG of the state, whereas four years ago the 0ACAhp% tOtdl TepTS5cilIeQ lO.o$ PeE cent of the total assessments.
 rr'In the twenty-four years since figures have been prepared on tax exempt property by the tax com missioner, there has been nc year in which the per cent of exempt to taxable property has been as great as that of 18.46 per cent" the tax commissioner points out. Tt is sig- nificant that during one of the se- verest depressions which this coun- try has ever had, the tax exempt prOperty of the state, as valued by the assessors, should increase by $B7,272,918," he states.

It Is noted that four years ago privately-owned exempt property totalled $237,264,SSS and public properties were listed at $241,- SS1,54O.

 '"sne figures in this report" 1" Commissioner Hackett states, "tes- tify to the seriousness of the tax exempt problem in this state. While during a twenty-four year peDiod the population of Con- necticut has been increasing by only 49 per cent, its tax exempt property has been increasing Ly 27S.9 per cent. At no period in the history of the state since tax ex empt statistics have been prepared has such a large proportion of the wealth of the state been represent ed by tax exempt property as in 1888.
 ''So serious is this problem that the temporary commission, ap- pointed in 1888 to study the tax laws of the state, in it's report has recommended that another special commission be appointed with the sole purpose of studying tax ex- emption in this state. Such a spe. cial commission is deemed to ne peculiarly important in the case of Connecticut because such high proportion of the total exempted property is represented by private ly-owned property"
 The largest single grou of cx- empt properties shown in the re- port is that credited to private schools and colleges, being $104,- 53S,297,. or an increase of 43.5 per cent over the corresponding total of $72,S24,069 four years ago.

Entering plea of guilty in city court today to Q charge of keep ing a gambling house, Salvatore Divigard, 35, of 753 North Main street was fined $100 by Judge Ed ward Mascolo. The judge remitted $70 of the fine.
 Attorney Joseph Guilfoile, coun- sel for Divigard. denied that Div igard's poolroom was a headquar- ters for members of the criminal element and declared that stories told about the place as a breeding place for crime were false. In January, during the criminal term of superior court, 1t was charged by lawyers and parents that the poolroom was a gathering place for criminals and that youths who frequented the place were led into commission of burglaries and hold ups.

NOTED APPLE
TREE TRACED
To RUSSIANS

SANTA ROSA, Cal. Aug. 13. UP)
More than century ago, fort,
trading post and chapel were es-
tablished by a group of Russians
at Fort Ross on the northern coast
of Sonoma county.
For years, an old orchard plant
ed by the Russians at Fort Ross
has received little attention, but
now a movement is on foot tC mark
the site with a monument to Cali
fornia agriculture.
For, among the trees planted,
was an apple. Its fruit was green
ish yellow thickly striped with
bright red.
From this parent stock, agricul-
turistS believe, sprang the vast
acreageS of Gravenstein apples,
most famous of Sonoma county
fruits. Also, in all probability, the
states first prunes, a Hungarian
variety, the trees of which remain
ing in the old orchard still bear
fruit. California's first cultivated
cherries and pears were also set
out by the Russians at old Fort
Ross.
If the proposed monument be-
comes a reality, an effort will be
made to preserve the old orchard
keeping it's old trees properly
trimmed and cultivated.
