RELIEF CLIENTS SUSPENDED

Last Friday ten work relief clients
in Elktoa were indefinitely suspend
ed by action of the members of the
Cecil County Welfare Board because
of their refusal to accept work with
the State Roads Commission shovel
ing snow. the rate Of pay being five
cents an hour less than is allowed by
the Welfare Board on its work relief
projects. The amount Of work giv-
en- eacfSman varies according to the
size and needs of the family and is
based on minimum allowance.
Therefore the man should welcome
the opportunity, to earn extra money
when possible.
The Cecil County Welfare Board
does not intend to foster the attitude
of "the Welfare will take care of
u.s. and expects every man to accept
any employment elsewhere when Of
fered to him. If definite proof IL
obtained to the contrary the man will
be suspended as in the cases mem
toned. The Welfare Board does not
wish to enter into any wage contro-
versy but feels it cannot carry men
on Federhl Relief when they refuse
private work to supplement the
relief. -

Snow Blockade Ties
Up Traffic
Howling Gale Piles Up Big
Drifts-Roads Blocked
Zero Temperatures

The heaviest snow storm for years
swept this section last week, begin
ming Tuesday night and continuing
Wednesday, when fully sixteen
inches of snow fell. Then the wind
began to blow, The gale raging all
day Thursday, snow being swirled
about and piled promiscuously in
Dig drifts that blocked roads and
completely tied up traffic of every
sort.
The State Roads Commission sent
it's big snow-plows and large forces
of shovelers out to keep the main
highway open but without avail,
little progress being made until the
wind abted. Things began to gradu-
ally assume better aspects on Friday,
when traffic was slowly opened, but
it was a stupendous task, and many
of the roads throughout this section
are not yet open to travel, and will
not be for days, despite the work be-
ing pushed by large forces of men.
Wednesday and Thursday nights
the Hotel here, as we'll as all the
tourist homes were crowded with
storm-stayed travellers, the roads not
only being blocked by snow but by
numerous stalled trucks, buses and
automobiles.
In addition Old Man Winter sent
his coolest blasts, zero temperatures
and below being recorded Friday and
Saturday mornings, tie mercury go
ing still lower on Satui day and Sun
day nights, the lowest temperature
being recorded Monday morning,
when sixteen degrees below zero was
reached, (which is some winter
temperature for this section.
Our rural mail carriers and farm
ers having milk to deliver have had
their trials buckiag drifts. More
horses, mules ana bob-sle,is have
been seen this week thal for years,
and good old Dobbin has pu. the
modern automobile anu truck to
shame.
Milk deliveries at the Sheffield
plant here, were compietely ~ a
standstIll on Thursday, and even
our limitad railroad service put out
of comniission for hours, no mail get
ting through until late in the
evening"
Thursday morning the school
buses were all ordered to return the
out-of-town pupils to their homes
when they reached the schools here,
as it was feared the roads would
be closed with drifts by afternoon,
This proved to be the case, and the
buses were unable to make their
trips Friday morning. AS conse-
quence school attendance was slim
ON Thursday and Friday.
The rural schools throughout the
county were closed on Thursday and
Friday, it being impossible for teach
ers or pupils to get to them.

Electric Rate Inves-
tigation-
Joint Resolution introduced In Mary
land General Assembly

land General Assembly
A Joint resolution authorizing and
directing the Public Service Commits
sion OF Maryland to make an investi-
cation of the electric rates for light
and power made by electric and pow
er companies doing business in the
Eastern Shore counties of Maryland,
has been introduced in the Maryland
Legislature by Senator Cobourn.
The resolution charges that the
rates charged for electric light and
power purposes in the counties of the
Eastern Shore of Maryland are much
higher than similar rates charged
In Philadelphia; and that some OF
the electric light and power supplied
to Philadelphia is supplied by the
same company which owns and
operates a plant located in Maryland,
and supplies electricity for lighting
and power purposes in some OF the
counties on the Eastern Shore of
Maryland; and that It seems an un-
warranted discrimination for a COM
pany to transmit electricity much
greater distance to Philadelphia and
sell at a lower rate than is charged
for electricity supplied from the
same source, bit transmitted a much
shorter distance; and that it would
seem that residents of Maryland
should be given at least an equal
treatment as to rates for electricity
generated in Maryland as is given to
residents of Pennsylvania who are
supplied with electricity from the
same source; therefore, be it resolv-
ed by the General Assembly of
Maryland, that the Public Service
Commission of Maryland be and it is
hereby requested and directed to in
vestigate the rates charged for cleo
tricity for lighting and power pur-
poses in the counties on the Eastern
Shore, particularly the rates charg-
ed by any company or companies
which are selling electricity both in
Maryland and Pennsylvania; and be
it further resolved, that after max
ing this investigation, if the Public
Service Commission should find that
the charges for electricity in any or,
all of the counties of the Eastern
Shore are excessive when compared
with such charges made for cleo
tricity supplied by the same COM
pany or companies in Pennsylvania,
or if based upon the actual cost OF
production, then the said Pubic Ser
vice Commission is hereby requested
to establish a reasonable and fair
electric rate or rates; and be it
further resolved, that the Public
Service Commission should make
his investigation within six months
after the passage of this resolution.

Anniversary Sunday
Observed
Services Commemorating Founding
OF Methodism--Histor-
ical Note

Sunday, Jan. 81, had been desig-
mated for the observance Of the
/ 9th anniversary Of the founding OF
Me.hodism to be observed at James
M. e. church, in this town, and a
special program arranged by the
pastor, Rev. A. b. Frye.
Bishop Edwin II. Hughes, DID,,
LID, of Washington, had accepted
an invitation to deliver the sermon
at the morning service, but on ac-
count of the snow blockade that pre-
vailed throughout this section, 1t was
thought advisable to notify the
Bishop of conditions and cancel his
speaking engagement here. AS u
consequence the morning program
was not fully carried out, Rev. Frye
delivering an appropriate sermon.
In the evening DR.. Clarence True
Wilson, of the Board of Temperance
of M. e. Church, was the speaker,
and delivered a sermon and temper
ance address.
Special music was rendered by the
choir and solo sung by Mr.. Russell,
of Oxford, Pa.
On Oct. 4th, 1851, at the Third
Quarterly Conference Of the Zion
Circuit, held at Mt. Pleasant, a
Board of trustees was elected for q
church at Rising Sun. In 1852 Ris-
ing Sun was added to the circuit,
though as yet without church, thus
becoming one of the preaching places
on Zion circuit where it remained for
nineteen years. The dedication OF
the first Methodist Episcopal Church
took place, in 1855. The Rev. d. W.
Bartine, DID,, pastor Of our church
in Lancaster, Pa, preached the dedi-
cation sermon.
The society was organized and q
church was built at Sylmar In 1891.
A revival followed in which there
were fifty conversions and the work
continued to prosper under the fine
leadership of its pastor, Rev. J. E.
Bryan.

CH1LpREN,s AID SOCIETY

The new Board of Managers of the
Maryland Childrens Aid Society
inc, of which the local Children s
Aid Society is branch, includes
four citizens of Cecil County. They
are. Wallace Williams, President OF
the Cecil Children's Aid, Mrs. Will
liams, Miss Bertha Balderston, and
Albert D. Mackey.
The Board will hold it's first meet
ing at the Office of the Society, 2109
North Calvert Street, Baltimore, on
Friday, February /, for the purposes
of organizing and electing officers
Plans of the Society for the year will
be discussed and the budget will be
adopted.
The election of the Board of Man
ayers took place at the annual meet
ing of the Society, held in Baltimore
recently. At that time owen R.
Lovejoy, Secretary of the Children's
Aid Society of New York, spoke in
behalf of work for children, and
Miss Katharine T. Kirwan, Executive
Secretary, made her own annual
report.
Miss Kirwan reported that at the
end of 1894, the Maryland Children's
Aid Society, with its county branches
had 799 children under care. "Oi
shese 343 were in boarding homes
The children under care of the diff
ferent branches were as follows
Central Office, ISL; Baltimore Coun-
ty, 161; Carroll, SO; Cecil, 81; Fred
srick, 1873; Garrett, 80; Montgomery
$50; and Talbot, 54.
| OF especial interest to Cecil
County, is Miss Kirwan's statement
concerning the relation of public
and private welfare agencies. She
said: "The Maryland Children's Aid
Society should welcome the step, to
establish, through an act of legisla-
ture, a unified statewide public well
fare system.
1.-THE creation of public county
units would release the private
agencies from certain responsible
ties which are public in nature and
which are outside their designated
fields of service. We have been glad
to serve in any capacity that has
meant the alienation of human
wretchedness, but for the sake of oul
children's program we must begin to
restrict our work to it's proper chan
nels, not in order to do less, but tc
do more and do it better. There is
wealth of opportunity for service
in the children's fields and we only
ask to be liberated from certain pub
lie responsibilities in order that we
may render a richer service in oul
chosen field"
The meeting was held in Alumnat
Lodge, Goucher College, and was at
tended by around ESQ. Mrs. Edward
shoemaker, Vice-President of the
Society, presided.

NEW ELECTRIC TRAIN BREAKS
RECORD

Hitting a peak of 1927 miles an
hour, the new Pennsylvania electric
train flashed over the rails from
Washington to Philadelphia and back
again Monday, setting an all-time
record for the Philadelphia-to-W Wash
ington run.
With a picked crew and with all
switches guarded, the railroads spe-
cial train, in test before inaugural
! ing the electric service from New
York to Washington, slipped smooth
ly into the Union Station at Wash
ington.
The return trip from Philadelphia
20 Washington was made in one
hour and fifty minutes, breaking all
existing railroad and automotive
TRAFFIC records for the 1876 miles. The
Congressional Limited, the fastest
train the Pennsylvania has in SER
vice, makes the trip in Two hours and
fifty minutes.
The trip brings Baltimore to with
in thirty-three minutes of Washing
ton and within one hour and seven
teen minutes of Philadelphia. Meth
er of these times will be maintained
on the regular runs of the Pennsyl-
vania for several years, however,
officials said. 2
The speed of 1927 miles an hour
was reached between Landover and
Seabrook, Md, when Engineer Char
les B. Morris, of Wilmington, Del, a
veteran of thirty-seven years of
steam railroading, pulled the throttle
to within a notch or two of the limit
and watched the speedometer mount.
Eliminating the time for stops
twenty-five minutes in Philadelphia
and four minutes in Baltimore-the
train made the 270 miles in 238
minutes, an average of nearly sixty
nine miles an hour.
The time between Philadelphia
and Washington reduced by one
minute the previous record-estab-
lished in 1927, when New York
newspaper wanted pictures of the re-
ception accorded Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh when he landed in this
country after his New YorkParis
flight.
With a steam locomotive and one
coach, the train made record run to
New York, travelling from Washing
Ton to Philadelphia in l hour and 81
minutes. Officials pointed out, how
ever, that the time made Monday
was really much more of an accom-
plishment, since the engine pulled
nine coaches, carrying 12S passen-
gers.
M. w. Clement, vice-president of
the railroad, said that the substitu-
ton of electric for steam locomo-
tives on the regular passenger runs
will start next week and will be
completed within a month. Electri-
fcation of the freight run will be
completed by June /, he said.
Railroad officials declared that the
liberalization of The New York-to-
Washington run was the largest non
Federal PWA project undertaken to
date. 1t entailed the direct employ
ment of more than $4,000 men and
The indirect employment of countless
thousands more.
The train which set the record on
Monday was composed of regular
Pullman coaches and streamlined
electric engine. Officials said the
train was capable Of making 1sO
miles an hour.
