KEYSTONE MOTOR
PATROL CLUB
unit SET UP
Established In Salisbury With
PatrOlman ]. Edwin POte
In Charge

Eastern Shore motorists now are
benefiting through the activities OF
the Motor Patrol Of the Keystone
Automobile Club of Maryland.
A unit of the Patrol has been estab-
lished in Salisbury, with Patrolman
J. Edwin Pote in charge. From time
to time it will be augmented by de-
tails from other sections, Albert E.
Buckley, the Club Manager, announced
this week.
Organization of the Patrol on the
Eastern Shore is one of the first note
worthy accomplishments of the Clubs
Eastern Shore Advisory Board, headed
by G.. William Phillips. The Board
strongly urged such action at its meet
ing in Salisbury in July, and the Pa
troll was established before the next
meeting, held in Ocean City last week.
Chairman Phillips made the follow
lowing statement, outlining the func-
tions of the Patrol:
"The new Motor Patrol will render
free service to motorists, regardless
of membership. Our object in putting
the Patrol on the highways is to rem
der assistance to motorists in distress,
whether that distress is due to failure
of mechanical equipment, or to acct
dent resulting in injury. All the Pa
trolmen who have been assigned to
this duty have passed with high ra-
ting the Red Cross First Aid Course,
and all are proficient in the work Of
mechanical adjustments and repairs.
eve wish to emphasize that, re-
CARELESS of the extent of service rem
dered, Patrolmen will not be permit
ted to receive tips. There are no
strings attached to the service. We
believe that lives can be saved and
much suffering prevented by prompt
and efficient application of First Aid
Similarly, inconvenience and delay
can be avoided by prompt mechanical
assistance. To accomplish these pur-
poses is the duty of the Patrol"

DEPUTY SHERIFF HILLMAN
SUFFERS A BURNED ARM

Deputy Sheriff, Crawford B. Hill
man is supporting in a sling badly
burned arm, the result of a stream of
ammonia falling on it.
The sheriff was at work on his re-
frigerating machine in the rear of his
grocery store, when, in some way, a
valve was opened allowing the liquid
to flow on his left arm.
Sheriff claims, tho that he is not
incapacitated from duty, as he still
has an unfettered right arm, and any
one taking advantage of his temporary
disability might find out he had walked
up the wrong passenger.

Deputy Stahlberg Comes
TO the Sheriff's Rescue
Draws on Imagination and
Calls Names in
Herald Letter

In an article in the Plentywood
Herald of July 4 John A. Stahl-
berg, Sheridan county's most out
standing intellectual, comes to the
defense of sheriff Madsen. He
maintains that the statements
made by the sheriff at his attempt
to "get even" with Heiberg, as
printed in the Producers News of
June %, are untrue and that the
Producers News editor is an "ama-
flourish liar"
Farmers and workers are hardly
concerned with what Mr.. Stahlberg
may have to say but still, his de-
tense of the sheriff's action is so
typical of a certain crowd that it
is worth going into.

ETHIOPIAN ITALIAN
ISSUE MAY BREAK
LEAGUE OF NATIONS

London, July IL. - The United
Press learned here that secret
proposal had been made by Joseph
A. Averol, secretary general of the
League of Nations, for a three
power conference to discuss the
danger of war in Ethiopia.
The purpose of the conference of
Britain, France and Italy is to
keep the issue out of the League of
Nations, and allow these capitalist
powers, who have colonial interests
surrounding Ethiopia, to handle
the situation among themselves.
To bring the issue before the
League of Nations, Britain and
France fear, would cause the with
drawal of Italy and may wreck the
Leage. Hence their attempts t.
come to some agreement.

NO FARMERS NEED
WORK ON RELIEF
WHILE FARMING
Is Answer of Prendergast to
Resolution of Gonius
LaurSen

Farmers do not reed to work on
relief jobs at this time when they ,
are busy On their farms, they will !
receive direct relief.
A statement to this affect was
made by E. j. Prendergrast, local
relief administrator when Genius
Laurser, farmers representative
on the grievance committee, pre-
scented the following resolution:
"Since it is a known and undis-
puted fact that the cause compel
ling the farmer to receive relief
is not identical with the one fore
irg others on relief, namely unem-
ployment, then it should be evil
dent that the way to help the far
mer out of his predicament so he
can again become self supporting,
must necessarily be different from
the method used for the unemplOy-
ed.
Drought and ruinous low pric-
es for his products, have been the
causes which forced the farmer on
relief and certainly not unemploy-
ment. So we, the members Of the
grievance committee of Sheridan
county, Montana, are asking thai
the farmer be allowed his usua
amount of relief until he has
harvest, without the necessity O.
, him being taken away from hi
work on his farm.
ct should be self-evident to all
! that if he is ever to become self
/ supporting, he must be permitte
to give all his time to his bushes
; of farming where there certainl
4 is no unemployment"
Laursen had drawn up this res
olution for adoption by the grieN
ance committee because it ha
- come to his notice that farmer
: had been made to quit the wor
on their farms to work for the
: relief. Both the other members
- the committee and Prenderga
agree that the resolution was CO
rect in its spirit.
d But it is unnecessary to tai
y further steps at this time since v
re do not force farmers at this tin
to work on relief when they ha'
er to take care Of their farms, the a
I'd ministrator declared.
It. His remarks, however, left
h open to conclude that in the ne
n future farmers might be fore
to neglect their farm work in {
er, der to labor for their relief. 1t

upon as a master stroke of nazi

MOTHER ASKED FOR

There are two young children
