would be available to the public for
the purpose of watering plants and
flowers.
9. Under MERA repairs to the in
terror of Grantsville school were made
possible. An area of 1874 square feet
was painted; doors and windows re-
paired and painted.
10. Under CWA a blanket project
covering the improving of 1000 square
yards of roadway, improved by means
of mapped stone and surfaced with
cinder, etc.
IL. Under WPA we built a new
street, $40 feet long and 20 feet wide,
covered with mapped stone and sur
faced with red top, making an ex-
cellent job. This street was built along
the side of our community ground,
greatly increasing the entrance and
parking facilities, eliminating traffic
congestion during public gatherings.
II. Under WPA we then began to
complete our sewer system, which we
had started under CWA. This system
when completed will make it possible
for every property owner within the
corporate limits to have a sanitary
sewer connection. This system will be
completed within the next few weeks.
13. Under WPA, in connection with
our sanitary sewer project, we have
installed sewage disposal system,
meeting all requirements of the State
Department of Health. This project is
completed.
IA. Under PWA we then put on the
finishing touches to our town, building
very fine addition to our high and ell

was very much in need of this addi-
ton. The old building that was torn
down, making way for the new addi-
ton, was built in 1874 and second
hand or used material was used for
this construction. At the time of its
removal it had become a great hazard,
and the parents became very much
concerned about the safety of their
children. We now have a total of Ia
class rooms, fine auditorium, ade-
quate toilet facilities, making it the
outstanding building in Garrett coun-
ty. This project was sponsored by the
County Board of Education.

coVery from bad depression like this without
some establishments that are more or less pain
full. To be sound. the recovery must start with
the initiation of the preceding boom debated,
and the frozen credit liquidated. Excessive in.
ventories have to be reduced.
Above all, it is necessary that Embellishments
IN prices be corrected, so that buying and SELL
ing can be restored to normal volume. When
some goods are "too high" and others are "too
low" it is useless to urge that business try to
be as usual. When wages, considered as the
price OF labor, are as high as in boom times,
while interest. considered as the price of capital
services, is very low, how can the business team
pull together?

eating directly one of the greatest ingredients
of civil liberty.
ut has thousand times been said that eternal
vigilance is the price of liberty. Certainly this
is true and profound saying of which we have
daily illustrations at this time. But I would
probe more deeply and inquire into conditions
upon which vigilance itself depends. suggest
to you that vigilance rests most of all upon

edge Of the origins and values of our liberties
1.-THE truth is that the road to real freedom of
expression, to immunity from abuses of power, to
secure civil liberties is long road. While in
tolerance of human nature continues, the goal
will not wholly be reached. These are lessons
that history alone can teach.
IF civil liberty is to prevail, the citizen must
have the right, Singly or in association with
Others to express his views on pending legisla-
ton. The effort to humiliate him or to make it
embarrassing or costly to exercise that right by
subjecting him to socalled investigation through
illegal subpenaS or otherwise is plain breach of
civil liberty. The breach is serious none the
less and indeed even the more so, if the harasS-
ment is beyond the reach Of the courts"

Aside from the difference in

sharpest contrasts in estimates
is in the tool and upkeep item
Of $26 included by the workers.
The operators estimate does not

because competition is the greatest thing in the

group may be the very thing to keep America
awake and on her toes.

ident for his spending program. It is true our
Federal debt today Is almost double the level Of
eight years ago and rising faster than ever, but
look at the other countries in the world. The
Fascist countries are much worse off than we
are The thing that is really going to ruin Hitler
and Mussolini is their guns When their people
start starving, then you will see how quickly they
will do away with these greedy, powercrazed
dictators Of Europe.
Surprising our budget isn't balanced. If our
people have to, they can always turn to and pro-
duce enough food and enough material right
here in our own country to keep us going for q
good many years. And if the President stops
spending now I don't know what in the world
will happen. It is exactly like swapping horses
