AS Miss Stryker reminded US the
Guild collections are more needed
than ever before, and because of the
wonderfully helpful effect of giving
new garments to needy folk who are
down and out, we may be the means
of starting some on a fresh effort to
live worthily. Membership in this
charity that helps all charities
calls for two new garments each
year, a responsibility and a privilege
which no one is too poor to help.

Cartoonist Visits School
On October 81, the artist and car
toonist, Raymond H. Bubb, appeared
in an assembly program at Rising
Sun High School. Since he put ON
similar program last year, the
pupils came with high hopes and
gladly paid the ten cents admission
charge.
He began by explaining that he
held the worlds record for drawing
the most pictures on grain of rice.
Then he presented Mr.. Zimmermen
with grain of rice bearing his name
and the name Of the school.
With few rapid strokes he placed
a colorful sunset scene before us;
then changed it into a beautiful
moonlight scene. Then he drew strik-
ing cartoons, including two from the
audience, and picture made from
the printed letters RIS NC
IS U N -. He even had boy from
the audience draw a number Of dots,
placed anywhere he wished. and un-
dertook to connect them into a pic
ture.
Mr.. Bubb then put togethes a pic
ture made from strips of colored rag.
This developed into sea picture
which had breath taking beauty un-
der the soft red light he cast over it.
He also seems to be a past master
at the art of making pictures from
variously colored sand. The sand pic
ture lie drew represented a lake In
the mountains.
After the program to the high
school, Mr.. Bubb presented one to
the elementary school.

Cecil Relief Fund
Depleted
Commissioners Turn Down
Appeal To Borrow Money
For Emergency

Practically no aid will be admin
istered to needy persons during the
coming winter by the Cecil County
Welfare Board, according to an an
nouncement made following a Joint
meeting of the body and the Board
of County Commissioners.
The welfare board is out of funds,
as far as the unit for general public
assistance is concerned, 1t was said.
The appropriation for this phase of
the work has been distributed al
ready report of disbursements dur
ing the year showed.
No more money, it was reported,
will be Forthcoming until the returns
for the State income taxes are re-
ceived about April /.
The welfare board appealed to the
county commissioners to borrow suf-
ficient funds to tide over the emer-
gency, but the plea was refused. The
commissioners said they could not
borrow money only ON anticipation
of a definite income and that the
loan would have to be paid back by
May LIST.
The income to be received from
the State income tax, they added,
was indefinite, especially in view of
the fact that this Is the first year
such a levy has been imposed.
The total amount distributed,
which was received from federal,
state and county sources, was $113,-
100, the report showed. OF this sum
$4,000 went for old-age pensions,
$4,000 for general public assistance
$4,000 for the blind, $4,000 for aid
to dependent children and $1,000
for administration of the office.
The administration costs for Sep
TENDER were placed at $866.02, of
which $621.67 went for salaries and

Road Receives Top
Dressing

The top dressing of Rout l, from
the top of Pigeon Hill to Richards
Oak, near Porters Bridge, a stretch
of two miles, was completed on We'd
nesday afternoon last.
The job ordinarily would have re-
quired about ten days, but so much
rainy weather was experienced that
it was almost month before it
could be completed, as the pavement
cannot be laid if the roadway Is wet.
The top-dressing was done with
amesite, a mixture of different sizes
of crushed stone and sand. with as
phaltic oil and naptha. 1t is heated
while being mixed, and is put down
and rolled while in pliable state.
The pavement covers the concrete
roadway to the thickness Of about
one and half inches, making a
smooth surface, with resiliency
that acts as a cushion, and is long
wearing. It not only protects the
roadway by making it impervious to
moisture, but makes smoother riding
than over concrete, which has no
resiliency.
The work was done by the Union
Paving Company, of Philadelphia,
with ]. r. Williams in charge. The
State Roads inspectors on the job
were J. o. Ridgley, of Sykesville,
Md, and Edward Rutkowiski, of
Baltimore.

Dean S. S. Steinberg, OF the Uni

outlined eleven steps for the council
TO take in it's war on traffic fatalities.
safety as a purchasable civic ac-
complishment," DR.. Steinberg said.
st requires effort and expenditures,
but the expenditure is an investment
instead of an expense, and, in some
communities, has paid cash dividends
of more than one hundred per cent
on the investment"
He and Governor Nice hit Mary
lands "antiquated" roads system
and the SNUG indifference" OF cit
liens to traffic deaths as two OF the
main causes of the States rising
highway death rate.
The Governor said a system OF
dual-lane highways throughout the
State was vital to ultimate success
of the safety campaign, and he 1elt
no taxpayer would begrudge pay"
ment of taxes for roads, provided he
fa,t value was received for each dol
lar expended.
DR.. Steinberg termed automobiie
accidents necessary evil' OF the
modern age. Motorists, rather than
the roadway or the vehicle, are re-
sponsible for most crashes, he said.
He summarized the councils goals
as follows:
Creation of "foolproof highways.
Elimination of fools from these
highways.
Development of good driving and
walking habits through safety educa-
ton.
The council comprises thirty-tive
men and four women, selected from
all parts of the State.
