According to report, man was re-
Gently heard to inquire why he should
work at $50 a month in a CCC crew
when he could be taken care Of by re
lief funds. 1t is not known that one Of
the seven deserters made such a re-
mark, but that attitude is becoming
altogether 100 common.
The cause for serious thought lies
in this. The attitude assumed by he
government of being a generous Santa
Claus to everyone and of freely TAX
ing care of every Tom, Dick and Harry
and all their relatives is having its
inevitable result. That result is a
dangerous weakening Of the moral
fibre Of thousands of the nations citi-
zens. II is plainly seen in the attitude
that asks, why should I work when
| can be taken care of by relief?r and
in the attitude that runs away from
work when the opportunity is provided
in CCC camps.
Perhaps it has been necessary to
extend help during such desperate
times as the nation has recently passed
through. But men should be required
to rely on their own endeavors for a
a livelihood just as soon as it can pos

BEAR FACTS.

If you brighten young cub and it
scampers away and gets stuck while
trying to 60 under log, don't stand
and watch it. Leave the place as quick
ly as possible These words might have
been said by a now wiser young man,
who stood and watched just such a
spectacle at Meadow creek near Syl-
vanite
He didn't stand long, however, for
soon Ma Bear came crashing through
the brush. It is understood that he
made such hundred yard dash over
WindfAlls and down timber as would
put him in fine fettle for the Olympics.
But Mrs. Bear seemed to be gaining
on him so he took daring leap from
a windfall onto an old cedar, only to
come shinnying down after a vain at
tempt to gain foothold. BY this time,
the bear was so close that he took off
in earnest, and didn't look back until
he had gone three hundred yards. The
bear had stopped, but the young man
said, SO popular report goes, that he
wasn't even out of breath and could
have gone another three hundred yards
without effort if it had been necessary.

Rockville's town fathers have def

Leslie Thompson, the towns first

When the judge failed to post
collateral, Thompson obtained a
warrant for him.
The case finally came before
Gov. Harry w. Nice of Maryland,
who was petitioned to appoint a
special magistrate to try the
judge, before it was settled by
Judge Smiths posting and for
