Cleveland, June 1O.-(UP)-Her- bert Hoover stole the show today from the republican national con- vention.
 Cheering admirers by the hun- dreds stormed his hotel to greet him. The welcome for the only living former president was one of the warmest of his career. Thousands damned the terminal station to cheer him as he walked the half block to his hotel. He was pushed around but took 1t good-naturedIy.
 So many riends-including mefp- bers of his cabinet and party men who had led his political battles in 1928 and to32-crowded his small hotel room that the reception was moved to 6 public room.

SILENCING UNNECESSARY NOIS
ES BECOMING MAJOR CITY
PROBLEM

Silencing unnecessary noises is a
problem to which city officials are
giving more attention. Rochester,
N. Y, with a population of 100000
people, has become noise-conscious
Some time ago, Mr.. Harold Baker
Rochester city manager, named a
committee to study methods of reduc-
ing noises to a minimum. The re-
suit to date is an ordinance now in
the City Councils Safety committee
which covers the misuse of nearly
every sort of thing with which noise
is made Among the things named
in the ordinance are pneumatic drills,
trolley bells, and vehicles $50 out Of
repair that they emit loud and I'M
necessary noises" such as street cars
and exhaust devices on motor cars.

playing of radios and musical instru-
ments, loud and excessive noises"

ers, roller-skating in the streets, and
unnecessary sounding of motor horns

HIGHWAY PATROL EMPHASIZED

Need for a more adequate high
way patrol is emphasized by the
Keystone Automobile Club of Mary
land, in statement declaring that
the numerical Strength of the State
Police force is far too weak to cope
with the problems of highway safety.
st has been demonstrated that the
presence of patrolmen on the high
ways has marked effect on driving
habits" said Garrison P. Knox,
Manager of the Club. "In fact,
there is little danger of accident
through law violation on any road
that is adequately patrolled. The
contrary is true of highways over
which one may drive for many miles
without ever seeing highway pa
trolman. On such roads, many mo-
torists are accustomed to take chan
ces they would scrupulously avoid II
they knew patrolmen were likely to
be encountered.
while this is not exactly a COM
pliment to the intelligence of the
man who wants to keep on living, it
may as we'll be admitted it is a hui
man trait and that, until such time
as safety education has made appre
ciable progress, the only way to keep
down excessive speeding and other
dangerous driving practices is to
have patrolmen ON the roads where
they can be seen-and needed.
Preventive enforcement is the
new order of the day. 1t is far bet
ter to prevent accidents than it is to
arrest and punish those responsible
after the occurrence of crashes.
Maryland State Police are doing
a splendid job. but they cannot &C
complish the impossible. Even If
the numerical strength of the State
Police force were doubled, it would
not be entirely adequate for the
tasks confronting it. In the present
state of finances, materially en-
larged force may not be considered
possible, but we believe a start
should be made and the number of
patrolmen increased, even if other
activities of the State should suffer
curtailment.
There is no more serious problem
confronting the State than control
of the highway accident situation.
Lives are being lost and property is
being destroyed The cost mounts
to millions annually. Surely, the
State can stretch point financially
to meet problem of such magni-
tude."

means of paying. All this policy.
which may be called that of Little
Americans, leaves the advantage on
international issues distinctly with
the Democrats.
Reviewing all these factors, weigh
ing what has been accomplished,
what is now proposed and what I'M
centainties still lie ahead, the New
York Times, a conservative newspa-
per in its own sphere, believes that
the public welfare will best be served
this year by the continuance of the
Democratic party in power and by
the reelection of the President.
In supporting Mr.. Roosevelt's can
didacy for reelection, The Times
does not intend to lose the indie
pendence on which it has always put
chief emphasis or to compromise its
own convictions. 1t will continue to
endorse such of Mr.. Landon's views
as it finds deserving of support. 1t
will continue to criticize and to OPP
pose such of Mr.. Roosevelt's policies
as seem to- it to lack merit. In par
ticular, it will continue to oppose
governmental extravaganza and to
insist on the vital importance of
bringing the national budget into
early balance. We are encouraged
to believe that this can be accom-
plished more readily under a second
Roosevelt Administration than un-
der Mr.. Landon. considering the ex-
tent to which the Republican party
has now outbid the President in
promising farm bounties.

NEEDLEWORK GUILD OF AMER.
ICA-COLORA BRANCH

This Is national Membership week
of the Needlework Guild of America
and in thirty seven states of the
Union Branches of this fifty one year
old organization are getting down to
business and securing new members
in it's unique method. 1t is the only
organization that requires for men,
bership an annual contribution of
two new articles of wearing apparel
or household linen, or a donation of
money. Directors are volunteers
who secure at least ten members and
one money contribution, or the equiv
alent 90 garments and contribu-
ton to defray expenses.
At the annual meeting held at San
Francisco in May, the report for last
years work showed a grand total of
1,892,361 garments collected and
used to help meet the very great
need. "The Charity that helps all
Charities" must grow If it is to do
its share in helping to clothe the
needy.
Cecil county has three Branches
at Elkton, Port Deposit and Colora,
and each one will be so happy to re-
ceive contributions. Especially it
appeals this year for clothing for
boys for our county orphans. The
Homemakers Clubs have their work
we'll underway and no doubt we have
a fine collection of dresses and other
useful things.
The Colora Branch will hold its
annual meeting and exhibition of
garments at the Rising Sun M. E.
Church on November 10 and 14th
and all the directors should be at
work looking for new members and
visiting those who have stood by for
at least a part Of the 20 years that
it has been on the job.

SECURITY AID GIVEN TO 25, 26O
IN MONTH
Emergency Director Lists Aged,
Blind And Children Helped
In State

approximately 1920 needy men,
women and children in Maryland re-
ceived assistance at cost of $685.
900 last month under public assist
ance and unemployment compensa-
ton provisions of the Social Security
Act, Arthur E. Hungerford, State Di-
rector of the National Emergency
Council in Maryland, has announced.
OF the total assisted last month,
he said 1900 were aged, $50 were
blind and 1900 were dependent
children. Approximately one-half of
the cost of the aid to the aged and
the blind and one-third of the cost
of aid to dependent children was
paid by the Social Security Board.
Maryland has established public
assistance plans for aid to needy
aged, needy blind and dependent
children which, with Federal aid
provides regular income to indi-
viduals unable to provide for them
selves.
Since the State began cooperation
with the Federal Government under
the terms of the Social Security Act,
total of $1,159,109 in Federal
funds has come to Maryland to aid
it in providing these benevts. 1t has
received $63O,222 for assistance to
the needy aged, $33,O75 for aid to
the needy blind, and $495,812 for aid
to dependent children in their own
homes. Federal aid, Mr.. Hunger
ford said, has made it possible for
Maryland to provide much more ade-
quately for it's needy citizens and To-
cal funds alone.
Still further benefits are open to
Maryland under the Social Security
Act. If the State enacts an unem-
ployment compensation law in line
with the Federal act, it will be elig-
ible to receive funds from the Social
Security Board to pay all proper
costs of administering this law and
eligible workers in Maryland will re-
ceive protection against loss of in
come during temporary periods of
unemployment.
In addition to these cooperative
Federal-State failures of the Social
Security Act, Maryland citizens also
come under the Federal old-age ben
eft system provided by the act.

ABOUT $4,000 INDIAN CHILDREN
ENTERED SCHOOLS THIS FALL

Approximately so, 900 young
American Indians entered school this
fall. Nearly $4,000 are enrolled in
1877 federal schools located in 22
states; 5000 in mission schools.
About $4,000 will attend public
schools.
Under the Indian Reorganization
Act of 1894, opportunities for Indian
boys and girls to obtain higher edu-
cation have been greatly increased.
The Act made available $19S,O00
for vocational and college training
loans. The amount for this purpose
in 1882 was only $4,000, the Office
of Indian Affairs announced.
