Cecil County Jersey
Club Exhibits
Formulating Plans For Shows
At Maple Shade Farm And

Proceeding with detailed plans for
the two shows it will hold this sea-
son, the Cecil County Jersey Cattle
Club, through its show committee,
today made known the name of the
judge for the first exhibit to be held
August Is at Maple Shade Farm on
the southern edge of North East Md.
The committee also announced that
rules and the premium list for the
second show, which will occur Sept
10 at the Foxcatcher Farms of Will
liam DUPONT at Fair Hill, Md, will
soon be mailed and can be obtained
now from the County Agent at Elk
ton or committee members.
Bob Tilghman, for years manager
of the Jersey department of Holly
Beach Farms, near Annapolis, Md,
will be arbiter of the twelve classes
at the first show. He is recognized
expert in the Jersey field, and has
been largely responsible for the de-
velopment of the nationally famous
herd at Holly Beach which on many
occasions has taken large share of
prizes at Timonium and other out
standing fairs.
G.. A. Beamer, who recently ac-
quired Maple Shade Farm as CEN
ter for retailing Jersey milk in North
East and nearby Summer resorts, is
making all necessary arrangements
to insure adequate care of exhibits
and comfort of the numerous breed
ers and spectators who will attend.
Mr.. Beamer also hopes to have par
TALLY completed extensive structural
renovations which will constitute one
of the most up-to-date milk plants in
the county.
The Cecil County challenge cups
for champion bull and female and
best Calf Club animal will be award
ed at the first show and, as always,
will be focal point of competition.
Last year, James F. Wood, Jr., vice
president of the County Club and
president of the Calf Club, secured
permanent possession of the cup for
champion bull. He has donated a
similar trophy to take it's place. H.
B. Crowgey & Son won a leg on the
cup for champion female in 1895.
Judging will start at 10 a. m.
Eastern Standard Time. All animals
must be in their stalls by $50. Ex-
hibitors may, if they desire, bring in
their animals the afternoon of Aug
ust IA.
In order to facilitate arrival at the
show grounds, the club will place
guiding signs at strategic points in
and near North East.
The parade of the IL classes will
occupy both morning and afternoon.
Luncheon will be served about noon
by the Bayview Lads Aid Society.
Entries for the show have been
coming in at a very satisfactory rate,
members of the committee in charge
declare. Again they emphasize that
the first exhibit is exclusively for
Cecil County participants, and urge
those who have not made entries to
do so at once. This is especially
addressed to the small breeder.
Those who may be in doubt as to
what to show may secure advice
from the County Agent or members
of the show committee, who also will
gladly make suggestions as to the
proper fitting of entries.

Arrived and Is Holding Up
New Offices

There was still no definite word to-
day as to when the post office would

shipped last Thursday, now a week
ago, and its arrival here is expected
any day. Only day will be necessary

one year, the time expected to be re-
qhired for the construction job

Post Office Department in Washing
ton as soon as he has moved out. The
department is expected then to notify
the contractors Immediately, so that

I'd. e.. Staff
Gets Cut
InPay

Thirty-nine employees in the De-
partment of Vehicles and Traffic,
including Traffic Director William
A. Van Duzer, were forced to take
a 10 per cent reduction in pay for
June because of lack of appropria-
tions.
Director Van Duzer explained
the appropriations became ex-
hausted because of salary in
creases and step-ups of employees
during the fiscal year. He added
that the employees were given a
notice of a pay furlough or a
lay-off and chose to remain at
work.
AS long ago as last February,
Director Van Duzer said, he fore
saw that the departments budget
would not be adequate to meet
the pay roll and requested Major
Daniel j. Donovan, District Au-
ditor, to include more funds in
the deficiency bill. The request,
he said. failed to gain approval.
Director Van Duzer said the 10
per cent pay reduction totaled
$633 for all of the departments
80 employees.

ACTION
Decree Giving 26-Day
Vacations Must Be
Promulgated

Although the Government estab-
lishment from one end of the
country to the other today starts
off on the 26-day-leave basis, as
provided for by the bill enacted
by the recent Congress, actually
there will be no leaves granted
until President Roosevelt promul-
gates a necessary executive order.
If one Of the Federal employe
organizations had not called the
matter to the attention of White
House officials, the President
might not have realized that an
executive order was required.
PresidenG Roosevelt has turned
the matter over to the interdepart-
mental committee, composed Of
chief clerks, the Civil Service Com
mission and the Bureau of Budget,
which, it is understood, will frame
an executive order making leave
uniform throughout the service.
President Roosevelt is expected
to sign it, but whethere this will
be before he leaves the city Friday
morning is undetermined today.
