 Rome, September 8. = (UP) - Foreign diplomatic quarters predict cd today that Italy would boycott the Mediterranean submarine con. ference unless Russia was excluded.

RADIANT LIVING
IN FULLNESS OF LIGHT
By Rev. C. Nj. Griffith
Pastor Calvary M. E. Church
SudIersviIIe. Md.

1t was early morning. I was trudg-
ing up the rutty stone-strewn narrow
mountain road as it lead it's meander-
ing course up over Eagles Chest. On
either side the wild growth of noun
tain forest crowded in upon me close
ly, the trees arching overhead and
branches protruding into the roadway
as though disputing the right of way
to slow Flooding teams with creaking
wagons and doing drivers that occas-
ionally passed over into the lonely val
ley beyond.
But this morning, I was brisking
along as best I could toward the top
of Eagles Crest, inhaling deeply the
fragrance of the morning air and
catching the joy of the jubilant song
sters that were trilling about me.
AS I was nearing the top, the new
born sun seemed to suddenly rise di-
rectly before me, as though he had
just come up from the valley beyond.
There he stood, right in the middle of
the road, where it sloped over the top
of the ridge. The road ahead was

FARM-TO-MARKET ROADS
DON'T AFFECT PROGRAMS

Answering criticism Of it's program
of development of low-cost roads, the
State Roads Commission made it plain
that in reconstructing feeder and
to-market roads, it is not endan-
gering the forthcoming program look
ing to improvement of the States sys-
tenn of primary highways.
Censured in some quarters for what
is termed "unwarranted Improvement
to secondary roads, when it is our
primary arteries that need most atten-
tion," the Commission explained that
the new improvements are not to the
secondary system, but rather to what
it terms the tertiary" roads Of the
State.
"While it is realized that the State
is faced with an emergency situation
in it's primary highways, carrying our
heaviest interstate and intra-state
traffic, it is felt that something also
must be done to help hose rural resi-
dents who are dependent on the feed
er-type and farm-to-market roads.
Some of these people are practically
shut in during the winter months when
their dirt roads become so muddy and
rutted that they are almost impass-
able.
It must be realized that special
measures must be taken to bring our
primary highways up to modern stan
dards. Under it's present budget less

COUNTY SCENE
OF ANOTHER NOVEL

Talbot again is the scene of another
novel. A year ago Warren Howard
annual visitor to Oxford, wrote book
"The Eastern Shore" in which Ok
ford, Easton and Talbot were the set
tings. This new book ''The Littlest
House" is in the same setting. Ok
ford, Easton, the Tired Avon, the Chop
tank and other scenes are well describ-
ed. The book is dedicated to Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilcox of Oxford.
It is an interesting story with beau
tifully described scenery. It makes a
native Talbot countain proud.
In the story Oxford is called "Tal-
bot" and Easton is Weston" There
are several local characters, though
called by different names, that are cas-
lily recognized. The story itself is
compelling. The little town of Tai
bot on the Eastern Shore was the sort
of place which might well charm an
even more hardened cynic than Hal
Haynes. No sooner had he seen the
Littlest House, in passing, than he
felt it was just big enough to dream
in and forget the problems and strug-
giles of the world.
Like so many young men of today,
Hal felt business life wasn't worth
the struggle. Escape was better. Civ
en- a tiny income it was easier to sail
and fish on the broad stretches of wa
ter which almost surrounded the town
than to imprison himself in a bank
and work for the success and luxury
he didn't want anyway.
But underneath the placid surface
of Talbot, life was current of sad
ness. Glare Dover thought of the
place and the life as a narrow prison
from which she dreamed of escaping
even while she bravely shouldered the
burdens her fathers untimely death
had thrust upon her. She yearned
for the busy world of affairs, for Sue
cess to redeem her family name, for
all the things which Hal had thrust
so lightly aside. And she resented
him because he had come into her life
to laugh at her ideal of struggle and
ultimate success which was all she
had to buoy her up.
In these two young people drawn
irresistibly together are crystallized
many of the conflicting ideals of SER
ious young people of today.

LEGACIES LEFT TO FIVE
MARYLAND CHURCHES

Formal presentation of the legacy
of the late j. Thomas Kinder, well
known retired Delaware farmer who
died at fredericksburg, Md, last May,
has been made to the five churches
which were beneficiaries under the
terms of his will.
The original requests to each were:
Union M. E. Church, $1,000; Church
of God, $1,000; both unrestricted leg
acies to help lift church debts; Christ
M. P. Church, $1,000 trust fund to
mature after 20 years, as this church
is debt free; to Bethel (Md.) M. E.
Church near fredericksburg, to which
he belonged, $1,000; to Concord (Del)
M. E. Church, of which his wife, the
late Mrs. Anna Graham Kinder, was
a member, $4,000.
Those amounts have been subject
to a reduction of 6 per cent, result.
ing from an amicable compromise with
a niece, Mrs. Sinah Finnegan of Bal.
timore, who had started proceeding
to contest the will. In addition tt
this reduction, a small group of heirs
agreed to renounce the sum required
to complete the compromise pool.
After assigning generous bequest'
to his 20 nephews and nieces and sew
eral other beneficiaries, Mr.. Kinder
always devout churchman, willed the
residue of his $4,000 estate to thu
board of stewards of the Methods
Episcopal Conference to be used al
desired to further the work of the or
ganization.
With the exception of few minol
personal items, the estate of Mr.. Kin
der has been settled and distributed al
willed.

than 100000 out of a total annual
revenue of nearly $14,OOO,OOO is left
to the discretion of the State Roads
Commission for improvements to the
system. Not many roads can be built
with such a residue.
"But the Commission has found
that it is possible, using the allot-
ments to counties under the liz cent
lateral roads gasoline tax, to give the
rural residents wide, well-drained and
soil-stabilized roads which will serve
them 365 days Of the year. More
over the development of old roads
along this line also make for cheaper
maintenance, which eventually will
effect broad economy, since it de-
wolves upon the Commission to main
tain county roads.
Heretofore, our low-cost roads
have suffered from some of the some
ills that long have assailed the pri-
mary arteries-they have been to mar
row and poorly drained. Soils when
dry and well packed are capable of
carrying cast loads, but when they are
saturated with water they naturally
break down. By persuading property
owners along tertiary roads to give
up sufficient rights of way, we are
able to widen their roads, drain them
to carry free water below the FROST
line and thus free them of the mud
and ruts that work such a hardship
on those who must use them.
"It is the hope Of the State Roads
Commission that the next Legislature
will see fit to take emergency meas
ures to start us on the road toward

CHESTERTOWN'S NEW
POST OFFICE DEDICATED

Chestertown's new post office was
dedicated with appropriate exercises
and the first mails have been received
and dispatched in the new building.
The dedication and occupation of the

than $4,000 brought to an end al
most year of activity in connection
with it's construction.

ter General; T. Alan Goldsborough,
representative of the First Maryland
Congressional district in Congress;
Mayor Philip G. Wilmer and DR.. Gil
bert w. Mead, president of Washing
ton College.
Chestertown was cited as one of the
seventeen postoffices in existence at
the time the constitution of the United
States was ratified. This informa-
ton was disclosed in the remarks of
Mr.. Purdum who said that in 1889
there were II postoffices in the coun-
try. Thirteen of this number were in
Maryland, one of them in Chester
town. He lauded Congressman Colds
borough for his successful efforts in
getting such building as the one be-
ing dedicated for Chestertown.
Congressman Goldsborough spoke
but briefly. He wished those present

sire that they enjoy to the fullest the
facilities of the new Federal building.
Mayor Wilmer thanked the FEEDER

D. C. LAWYER OFFERS
PLAN ON JUDICIARY
Proposes Amendment to Permit
Appointments for Varying
Terms in First Set-Up.

A new proposal for a constitutional
amendment to meet the objections
raised to the Presidents court reorgan-
ization plan was submitted to Chair
man Ashurst of the Senate Judiciary
Committee today by Richard E. Well
ford, Washington attorney.
Wexford proposed an amendment
to establish Supreme Court of nine
justices, the present number. In the
first set-up of the court the justices
would be appointed as follows:
One for two years, one for four
years, one for six years, one for eight
years, one for 10 years, one for II
years, one for IA years, one for 16
years and one for 18 years. There
after all justices would be appointed
by the President with the advice and
consent of the Senate for term of
l8 years or during good behavior.
If any justice should die, resign or
be removed during his term of Office,
his successor would be appointed to
fill the remainder of his unexpired
term. All the justices must retire
when their term of Office expires, or in
any event on reaching, the age of 70
years, in which case retirement would
be at full pay.
Wexford pointed out his method
would inject new blood into the judici-
ary every two years, and that every
President, If he serves full term of
office, would appoint at least two JUS
tices.
