its Importance to our present-day
laws.
Senator Daniel o. Hastings (R.)
Of Delaware was guest speaker.
Beginning with the Magma
Carta, signed by King John in
1872, the Senator traced the his
tory of law and order down to the
present Constitution.

be turned back to Prince Georges
county and still retain its status

ed to a delegation Of county Off
cials by RRA authorities at O
meeting at resettlement headquar,
terS in Washington yesterday aft
ernoon.
The plan. as advanced by the
administrative officials, is expect
ed to allay the objection of Prince
Georges county residents that the
annexation Of the territory by the
Government had deprived the
county of a large amount of taxa
BILE land with a subsequent drop in
revenue.
Under the proposal of Wallace
Richard, chief of the suburban di-
vision o. the Resettlement Admin
istration. Greenbelt, more famil-
arly known as Tugwelltown, :"
would be recognized as a corpora
tion under charter of the county
and the State. AS such, the prop
erty would be taxable by the
county and under jurisdiction of
the county authorities for the
maintenance Of police protection,
roads and schools.
At the meeting Richards made
it clear that the Federal Govern
ment intended to construct the
roads and school buildings and
facilities with Federal funds. He
stated that revenue from the
project would be more than
enough to care for it's administra-
tion and quoted figures to show
that the aSSeSSable property in
Greenbelt would amount to ap-
proximately $1.290 per person,
while the present per capita assess
ment of the county is only $3.50.
Under Maryland law. an act of
the State legislature will be neCes-
sary before the charter Of the
town can be accepted Members

BUDGET

RICHMOND, Va, March 3.-Ad-
ministration forces were at work
today to adhere to Governor
PeeryS warning against additional
appropriations in connection with
the $37.000,000 biennium budget
bill set for special and continuing
order in the senate this afternoon.
Senator Aubrey G. Weaver, of
Front Royal. was selected by Sena-
tor William Allen Garrett, Of
Ridgeway. chairman of the senate
finance committee, to have charge
of the bill. He said the adoption

next session of the assembly.
Probation Defeated

viding for mandatory probation

has been defeated again by the
senate courts of justice committee,
which refused to reconsider it. De-
spite the fact that there were pro
tests from rural delegates. the
house. by vote Of IS to Is, passed
the bill February 10.
Virginia is to have no legalized
wagers on horse races. The SEN
ate general laws committee has
lust killed the bill providing for
the pari-mutuel system. A COM
panion measure providing for the
creation Of the Virginia racing
commission was doomed to die
without coming to a final vote in
the house.
Governor Peery's bill setting up
a merit plan of scholarship
awards. a measure passed in the
senate. is expected to reach the
house todav. The bill alters the
States policy as to scholarships

the salaries Of those already EN-.
ployed.
COMPROMISE on Markets
The Moffett bill creating the
position Of a supervisor Of inspec-
ton of apples and peaches re
moves such inspection from the di-
vision Of markets. The Virginia

MORE RELIEF F
CASH BADLY
NEEDED

ROCKVILLE, Md, March 3.
More than 100 unemployed fami-
lies in Montgomery county will be
forced from the local relief rolls
unless some provision is made by
county officials to provide funds
for their care, it was learned here
today.
These families, which represent
the bulk of the county'S direct re-
lief roll, are in dire need, officials
of the County Welfare Board de-
clared today. Not only do they
need food. but in many cases they
require fuel, shelter and clothing
as well, they said.
Miss Dorothy A. EverSon, execu-
tive secretary to the welfare
board, declared that although
most of these families were
dropped from the relief rolls
short time ago when the fund
shortage first became acute, they
we're placed back. on curtailed
basis. a few days ago when the
board received approximately
$1,000 from the Federal Govern
ment for care of dependent chill
dren.
More Funds Necessary
But even with these additional
funds the local welfare agency
Is practically at the end Of its
rope and will not be able to care
for them much longer unless the
Board of County Commissioners
allocates some additional county
funds. At least enough to carry
them until April l. when private
and farm employment opens up,
Miss Everson said.
Several weeks ago county vel
fare officials were notified by
the Maryland Board of State
Aids and Charity that their es-
Inmates for February and March,
totaling approximately $4,000.
had been reduced by more than
half because of insufficiency of
State and Federal funds. With
this in mind they requested the
county commissioners to appro-
pirate approximately $4,000 in
county funds, which, they eS-
timated. with a drastic curtail-
ment OF expenses. would carry.
them through until April.
New Grants Opposed
With this before them the
county commissioners will meet
here today to study the relief
situation. Although the board
as a whole has declined to COM
ment on appropriation Of these
funds, the attitude of at least
three individual members in
dicates they will not favor this
request. This would be suffi-
cient votes to kill any move for
further appropriations.
The SiXty-fourth annual farm
erS convention Of Sandy Spring,
Nd. at a meeting at the Sher-
wood High School last Saturday,
In surprise move bitterly de-
nounced continuance of direct or
cash relief in the county.
An audience of several hun.
dred farmers wildly acclaimed a
resolution presented by Lamar
Stabler, in which he branded the
administration of relief in the
county as "a detriment to the
farmers"
Food Distribution Asked
Stabler's resolution advocated
the installation of a relief system
under which only foodstuffs and
the other necessities Of life would
be distributed among the needy.
The resolution further urged that
relief be granted only after in
dividual cases have received the
approval Of a non-partisan board
Of three residents from the elec-
ton district in which the case in
question might arise.
The commissioners will be ap-
priSed Of the action taken at the
convention.

An Oath For Peace

While ominous whispers of war were
going through the chancellories of Europe
and shrill cries were being uttered by mill
tarists and nationalists of many lands, be-
tween 10000 and 10000 former soldiers, re
presenting IA nations, met on the battlefield
of Verdun. Most of them were Frenchmen
for the French Veterans Confederation had
arranged the pilgrimage. But there also
were Americans, Britons, Italians (who have
avoided international demonstrations), Yu-
goslavs, Czechoslovaks, Poles, Greeks, Port
uguese, Belgians, Rumanians and one Dane
and there also were Austrians and, more
significant of all, 500 Germans. These were
the first German veterans of the World war
to fraternize with former enemies on French
soil.
There were no speeches. The veterans
marched silently from Verdun to the Doua-
mont ossuary where rest thousands on
thousands of Verdun's dead. There, to the
accompaniment of tolling bells, minute guns
and bugle calls, each veteran Individually
swore an oath for the peace of the world." :"
Perhaps it is too much to hope that the
echoes of those oaths were heard among the
whisperings in the chancellories and amid
the shrill cries of the warmongers.- Moor

Homemade Carnivals

NNE OF THE Objectionable things about
" fairs, celebrations, festivals and SINH
lar events is the number of takers and
gyp artists and the riff-raff in general which
almost inevitably is attracted by such af-
fairs.
The way the public lines up and crowds
for chance to play the other fellows game
or invest in junk supports the old theory
that the public loves to be fooled. The fact
that most persons have a false pride about
squawking when gypped heads off any
chance of keeping some control over such
rackets, even where semblance is made of
disciplining concessionnaires.
We know of only one community which
puts on a rip-roaring celebration, even to
the gambling devices, without throwing the
city open to outsiders. The business mems
association owns enough wheels and similar
devices to satisfy any size crowd and busi-
ness men operate them. The public gets a
better break than it would from outsiders
and profits go to pay for free acts, speakers
and other entertainment instead of being
taken away by racketeers.
Other towns would be smart to investi-
gate the possibilities of carnival attractions
without carnival people.

Two Sides To Foreclosures

An insurance company of Iowa years
ago loaned money on two farms at Montevi-
deo. Payment was in default and fore
closure was attempted by United States
marshal. A big crowd of sympathetic farm
ers prevented the foreclosure. The company
says it does not want farms, but when pay
ment is refused, it has to protect the inter
est of it's policyholders. If large insurance
company should be put out of business by
failure to protect it's loans, the loss would
fall upon thousands of its policy holders
Not only was there default in the payment
of interest and the principal when due, but
the farmers did not pay the taxes, and that
made it tough for the company-St. Cloud
Times.
The Redwood gazette., 1936-08-13

THE LAST few decades have seen sew
eral wholesale movements of farm po-
pulations, to Texas, to the Dakotas, to
Canada, to northern Minnesota. Always the
motive power has been "greener pastures,
cheaper land and the promise of greater pro-
duction for comparable investment of cash
and labor.
Through this period, for "a years in
fact, Joe Horejsi has titled the same farm
near Bechyn. Undoubtedly he has seen
neighbors, many of them good friends, move
on to places, seemingly of greater promise.
But Mr.. Horejsi doesn't regret his deci-
sion to stay. Retiring now, he looked back
through A summers last week and remark
ed that in all that period, he never failed to
harvest more than he planted. Not all the
years were bumper years. In many cases it
was too wet or too dry, the frost came too
early or the late spring was handicap. But
he never had a crop failure which could be
termed complete.
Forty-four years goes back to 1892.
Grover Cleveland was president 1t has been
long time.
Wonder how many other communities
can boast of having no complete crop fail
ures in that length of time. Think of the
men who toll year after year with frequent
crop failures and occasional half-crops, al
ways hoping that some day nature will truly
smile. None of that in this section. We
live in the garden spot.

All Clubs and Their Work

When, at the beginning of the century,
the movement was started to teach farm
boys and girls improved methods of farm
ing to develop broader fields of activity
among the boys and girls whose school and
home life had been narrow and restricted,
the men and women interested in the move
ment received much Encouragement, not
only from those whose cooperation they
sought, but from the parents.
The clubs that were formed, and finally
named All, (Head, Hand, Heart, Healthy
were small and the projects undertaken
were few What contrast today, when a
million boys and girls, under $4,000 local
and state leaders, are enrolled in % major,
and as many minor projects.
Ohio leads with 56,451 boys and girls
enrolled, and many counties in our own and
other states have an enrolment of 500 to
1000. There are state and county leaders,
paid by state and federal extension services,
but outstanding members of the All clubs
are chosen as local leaders.
Everybody is today interested in these
splendid groups of rural young people, and
is doing everything possible to assist and
encourage them. Many large institutions
offer prizes and scholarship for outstanding
accomplishments in animal husbandry, poul-
try raising, house furnishing, bread baking
and other fields of cooking, sewing, singing
and other musical activities and dramatics.
No matter what line the rural boy or
girl is interested in, All work gives them
their chance to become proficient, to earn
money and prestige doing that which they
love to do-Fairfax Standard.
