organized farmers of Maryland, re-
ports c. E. Wise, Jr., secretary of the
Maryland Farm Bureau. A total Of
seven countrywide gatherings, most
of them sponsored by county Farm
Bureau organizations are being held
during the two week period, he says.
with few indoor gatherings held
during the busy summer months, or
ganized farmers use the picnic meth
cd of getting together to talk over
their problems and progress" says
the Farm Bureau official. "The sum-
mer picnic, usually held between
grain harvest and heavy fall work,
gives an opportunity for those at
attending to hear reports of the prog
ress of their organization and plan
activities for early fall. With IN
creased interest in organized activi-
ties and the new program Of soil con-
servation, attendance at such gath.
erings has been unusually high this
year."
Picnics held this week, according
to Mr.. Wise, include countrywide
gatherings in Queen Anne, Cecil and
Frederick, all on Wednesday, and
Kent on Friday. Caroline County
Farm Bureau is sponsoring its gath
ering on August 18, with similar
event scheduled in Talbot County the
following day, and joint picnic Of

set counties August 20. Washington
County farmers will meet on August
70. Dorchester, Howard, Charles,
and PRICE Georges counties held
their picnic meetings last month.
A short speaking program of an
hour or two represents all of the
formal program of the usual picnic
day, while the balance is given over
to sports and games with full atten-
ION at meal time to Maryland fried
chicken and trimmin's, according to
Mr.. Wise.

Barney Oldied of the greatest auto drivers
the world has known well the nerviest racer
to pilot around the track. And yet when he
retired from the racing game Barney Odfed said: "I
have never been in without being afraid and
auto that wasn't afraid Of"
The fact is, any motorist who is not afraid of an
automobile needs to have his head examined you are
not afraid of then you haven't stopped to consider its
dangers you have allowed familiarity breed the sort
of contempt that places your e and the lives of Others
danger So long you realize that the auto agency
OF death if not properly handled and long you
afraid not to handle carefully then you good driver
and apt to escape accidents. The who make them
know they dangerous when not properly handled
dangerous any frearm deadly drug. That is why
auto makers constantly preach safe driving and urge those
who buy and drive their to be careful every moment
they are behind the wheel.
There still several weeks of the motoring season
left Traffic will continue to be heavy wherever you CO.
Forearm yourself when starting by realizing that you
are handling dangerous vehicle and be afraid of to
the point where you will constantly exert extreme

advised by DR.. R. H. Riley, Director
of the State Department of Health,
to drive on until you come to one

necessary sanitary requirements.
DR.. Riley explained that no camp

used for six days or longer and that
accommodates ten or more persons
may be operated without a permit
from the State Department Of
Health. Applications are usually
made in the early spring so that the
required inspections may be made
and any needed improvements may
be gotten under way before the sea-

To be duly certified, each camp
must comply with the regulations
prescribed by the State Board of
Health with regard to the water sup

RADIO AND PRESS

There many false prophets but none as far wrong
as those who predict that day radio will suppan the
newspaper both from and advertising standpoint
Owners of radio sets may have given the matter much
thought but if asked to give up the other they
would quickly take out their radio.
It is too easy to mshear and misunderstood the
radio If you do misunderstood you can't go back read
it until you do understand it, you can with newspaper
You hear and dates in flash and they either be-
come confused escape you altogether With the
paper you have them still at hand after you read them
they there in black and white and you reread
memorize them thing impossible the radio On the
radio you only the things you don't any
thing about by turning it off, while with the newspaper
you strike something you not interested in you
turn the page and go to something else.
There is question but the printed word always will
have an advantage the spoken word No one will
argue that radio is not wonderful thing for it is But
living today will the time when it succeeds
the newspaper when approaches the newspaper
in popularity with those who want to know what is going
in the woodland especially in their neighborhood

try indicate that voters everywhere
are manifesting exceptionally keen
interest in the political campaign
now well under way. All signs point
to closely contested election.
1t is therefore of especial interest
at this time that the publishers of
weekly newspapers throughout the
country have launched nationwide
presidential straw-vote, to learn
(which way the wind is blowing
with the small town and rural Am
erican voters.
The Sentinel has joined in with these
weekly newspapers and will conduct
the vote in this territory. A straw
vote ballot is published in this issue.
1t may be voted by any legal voter.
You do not have to sign your name.
1t is important, however, that you
sign the name of the town and state
from which you expect to cast your
vote at the November election, so
that the national tabulation of your
vote will be accurately recorded.
Publishers Autocaster Service of
New York, producers of a service
for weekly newspapers, is to serve
in the capacity of national headquart-
ers for this nationwide vote. Your
local vote will first be recorded here
in Rockville, then the ballot n t
on to New York for national tabula-
ton.
Our local, county and state re-
turns in this straw-vote will be of
particular interest to voters every
where, just as returns from other

ers here. It is only through COM
bined efforts of hundreds of weekly
newspapers that such a record of
sentiment in the small towns and
rural America can be obtained.
It is therefore important that you
decide now to cast your straw-vote
in this, balloting, so that your fellow
voters for your favorite candidate
in other states will know what may
be expected from Maryland.
Of first interest, of course, will be
the returns shown in our choices

Decide now to cast your vote. Clip out
thy ballot, vote 1t, write in the name
Of the town and state, then mail or
