TAKEN ON MONDAY

son Make Seizure, But no
Arrest Follows.

Another illicit whisky still was de-
stroyed Monday, E. A. Cottrell, ABC
enforcement officer for the county,
reported today. He was assisted by
Constables Spurgeon Ayscue of Sandy
Creek and Jerome Jackson of Middle

The still, located about half a mile
off the Dabney road, just west of the
city, and on a small stream, was of
about 30 gallons capacity, Mr.. Cot

Decn in operation as late as Sunday
the officer said.
Cottrell has been very active since

mas made a number of seizures and
arrests and destroyed stills in several
parts of the county.
The officer complained of the ac-

is just as much law for conviction

ed in raids are now awaiting jury
trials in the lower courts of the coun
ty, and will be given hearings early
in January.

SAYS WORLD MUST
GET BACK TO GOD
He Is Ready to Blot Out Sin
When Called on, Rev. K.
E. Brown Says

The world must get back TO God
and depend upon him if it is to make
any real headway toward happiness
and better living. Rev r. e. Brown,
the pastor, said in his sermon at the
First Methodist church Sunday morn
ing.
The preacher took a text from the
43rd chapter of Isaiah's prophecy as
the basis for his sermon, and said the
Scripture gave four indictments of
the people of the times and declared
the same Indictment applies in the
modern Goth century era.
One of the indictments from God
was that the people had not called on
him and lad forgotten to pray. An
other was that they had not brought
their offerings and sacrifices. A third
was that they had left off doing the
things they ought to have done and
the things not done are those which
starve the soul. The people, in the
fourth place. said the minister, have
made God put up with" their sins
until he cries out, Il am weary of
your sins"
Three kinds Of sinners were Outlin-
ed, first those who boast they have
done every sin the category; second,
those who sin every day, and lastly,
those who have sinned and never
thought they were doing anything
wrong.
God will forget we have sinned if
we ask for forgiveness" saidd Mr.
Brown. The heavenly father is not
like an earthly father. He will blot
out our transgressions and remember
them no more"

State Grange
Advocates 10 Year
Highway Plan
Master Of Maryland State
Grange Places His Farm Group
Squarely Behind Road Con-
structiOn Plan

Listing six favorable reasons, T..
Roy Brookes, Master of the Maryland
State Grange and a member of the
executive council of the Highway
Users Conference of Maryland, today
placed those two organizations on
record as squarely behind a rational
highway plan, soundly financed, for
the State Of Maryland.
"The Ten-Year Highway Construc-
ton Program of Maryland, as sub
mitted by the subcommittee on high
ways, establishes ample evidence of
the contention of the Highway Users
Conference that there is a very defin-
lite need for all motor money being
spent for roads, bridges, and grade
crossings" said Mr.. Brookes.
"Traffic counts made by the COM
mission have revealed the need of
widening and improving existing
highways. Such traffic counts can be
depended upon as sign-posts in de-
veloping a future plan"
Continuing Mr.. Brookes said, "The
essentials of rational planning hinge
around the fact that vehicle traffic
has grown faster than highways have
been improved. When motor revenues
are used solely for construction and
maintenance and not diverted, the
system becomes self liquidating; that
is, here we have one phase of public
works expenditure paid for by the
user out of savings or economies de-
rived from the improvement, in that
improved roads cost less to operate.
81. Rational planning is the best
insurance of a popular stabilized pro-
gram and protection Of highway
funds to other uses.
"2. Both rural and urban needs
must be considered and funds must be
equitably used. Farm-to-market roads
are a vital part of such plan and
must not be neglected.
"3. Simplifed, inexpensive yet COM
prehensive traffic and economic sur
veys are essential prerequisites for
the successful planning of a state
wide program.
"a. A comprehensive planning COM
mission is essential.
SO. Rational plannings is largely
futile unless public support is gained
and the program is made operative
through legislative action.
"6. Today's conditions Of our roads
call for courageous and intelligent
highway leadership"
