Livestock Feeding Meeting
Held At GAINESVILLE

Approximately 33 stockmen attend
ed a livestock feeding meeting at
GAINESVILLE High School recently. The
number present was above expecta-
tons considering the extremely poor
weather conditions.
Joseph H. Vial, extension specialist
in animal husbandry at the Univers-
ity of Maryland, was present and
gave a very interesting talk on
Feeding Steers. Mr.. Vial brought
out many interesting as well as prac-
teal hints relative to good feeding
practices. Allan Bogue, representative
of the Union Stock Yards in Chicago
was also present. He gave some in
teresting facts on the effect of diff
ferent feeds on the carcass of meat
animals.
Another meeting of this type will
be held in January, at which time
there will be a discussion on the
marketing of livestock.

Counties Use
Gas Tax For
Debt Service
Over One-Third of Coun-
ties Share Taken For That
Purpose, Report Shows

Maryland counties used more than
third of their share of the proceeds
of the gasoline tax for debt service
in the last fiscal year, State Roads
Commission financial report showed
when released early this week. The
total allotment for the counties was
$1,667, 900 out of which they spent
$584,387 for debt service and $934,OOO
for road maintenance, according to a
statement prepared by w. A., Codd,
commission auditor. ro.aa.,
In addition, the counties paid $72,-
SGT to incorporated towns for high

In three counties-Allegany, Cal
vert and Kent-charges for debt
service exceeded the amounts spent
for the maintenance of roads. The

For Our Children

cat Christmas, always candlesl
And what else is Christmastide but
the season of candle-lighting? Just
because the world is dark about us
and the numbing cold clings close, we
light our little candle for guidance
and for cheer. The Incarnation itself
was the lighting of candle - in the
darkness of stable, on mid-winter
night; and from it's glow, heart after
heart has taken fire, the fame has
travelled down the pathway of the
centuries, and has girdled the earth
with its soft radiance of promise of
peace"
Chosen of Him who is the lost worlds
light
Shall we stand Pickering in the winds
of doubt,
Forgetful of His trust to point the
way
That leads to faiths invulnerable
height?
Candles of God! And if our flame go
out,
How shall we see the sunlight Of His
day?

Employers Advised
To Secure Forms
For Security Tax

Tax returns required by the Social
Security Act should be sent to the
Collector of Internal Revenue and not
to the Social Security Board. It is the

mails out to the Maryland employers

form is filled out, it should be return

ager of the Washington office of the
Social Security Board.
Mr.. Sadd emphasized the fact that
the Social Security Board is in no way
responsible for the collection of taxes
and does not distribute the form
(SS-la) used in filing social security
tax returns. We have had numerous
requests for these blanks during the
past week and in~every case we adj
vised the caller to contact the Collec-
tors Office, he said.
Attention is called to a statement
issued recently by the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue, which advised en-
ployers to include in their tax returns
the name and social security account
number of each employee and the
amount of taxable wages paid the en-
ployee. The last quarterly return and
remittance (due not later than mid
night, January 31) will cover the
three calendar months, October, No

Heart Attack is Fatal
To S. w. Gambrill

Continued from page y
took his law degree at Columbian
University, the present George Wash
ington University, at Washington.
His first employment was a clerk
ship with the Baltimore Transit Com
pany. For short time he was in
Chicago as an assistant to the COM
mittee on awards of the Chicago
Worlds Fair, then he came back to
Baltimore to enter the service of the
immigration Bureau in Baltimore.
In 1898, he became associated with
the Fidelity and Deposit Company,
an association that lasted until his
death. In 1900, he married cousin,
Miss Haddie d. German, daughter
of Senator German.
The next year he took his bride
to London, where he spent seven
years as representative of the
Fidelity and Deposit Company. The
first Mrs. Gambrill died early in the
1920s.
He was married in Washington in
1928 to the present Mrs. Gambrill.
Besides Mrs. Gambrill, the Con-
gresham is survived by three chill
dren by previous marriage-Ste-
phen w. Gambrill, Jr., of Laurel;
Mrs. Dorothy Louise Quill, of Laurel;
and Mrs. Charles Brooks, Chevy
Chase "a brother, Arthur P. Gam
brill of Hyattsville, and a sister,
Mrs. Katherine G. Bradley, of Bal
timore.
Mr.. Gambrill was member Of
the Protestant Episcopal Church.
With his family, he made his home
in Laurel.
His district comprises Howard
County, the extreme southern por-
ton Of Baltimore city and the five
Southern Maryland counties.
A special election, called by
proclamation of the Governor, is
necessary to fill his place. Since the
law stipulates there must be twenty
days notice before such an election
can be held, its not possible to name
a successor in time for the beginning
of the next Congress.
Nominations will be made by the
central committeeman of the coun-
ties and of the portion of the city
in the Fifth Congressional District.
The vacancy has naturally caused
a great deal of speculation as to who
would be nominated as Mr.. Gam
Drills successor. The State Central
Committees of the two major parties
will make the nomination. It is
assumed that Senator Lansdale G..
Sasscer, of Prince Georges County,
will be named by the Democrats,
although some doubt whether Sena-
tor Sasscer would accept. Others
have pointed out that, in view of
the fact that Mr.. Gambrin was
elected for two more years, Howard
County should provide the candidate.
Several local men have been promi-
nently mentioned should the party
leaders decide to seek a candidate
from Howard County.

Health Hints
For Holidays
From Health Dept.
Be Careful Of OVERRIDING
1t, Says DIR. Knox, of State
Department of Health


"Of course you want your young
sters to have good time but don't
let them overdo", DR.. J. H. M. Knox,
Jr., Chief of the Bureau of Child
Hygiene of the State Department of
Health, advises mothers and fathers
also, as the Christmas season APP
proaches.
"This advice holds good all the year
round, DR.. Knox continued, "but it is
especially applicable during the holt
day season, when the temptation to
over-excitement, to over-indulgence in
sweets, to keep late hours, and to
have too little rest, is even greater
than at other times.
"You don't want them to miss any
of the holiday pleasures that other
children are enjoying, but don't let
them get completely worn out from
excitement, and from going too hard.
Sandwich some rest periods, an extra
nap or two, between the Christmas
parties and entertainments. Let them
sleep later in the morning. Don't wait
until they become cross and irritable
before you get them to rest up bit.
Guard against over-eating as well, as
over-fatigue during the holiday sea-
son. Rich mixtures and too many
sweets are bad combination at any
time.
"Over-tiredness is a well known
cause of Indigestion among children.
Suitable food and sufficient sleep are
Of the utmost Importance at all times
not only during the holiday season.
Children use up great deal of en-
ergy and strength in the processes
of growth and development. Great
care should always be taken to safe
guard against over-stimulation of a
child's nervous system. Over-indulg-
ence in exciting movies, and in too
many parties, is likely to leave bad
after-effects.
mo matter how careful a child's
diet may be planned, adequate rest
and protection from nervous strain
are necessary to insure normal
growth and development and resist
ance to disease. BY the close of the
day, young children from two to six,
Or older are usually healthily tired
and ready for bed. It is mistake to
let them sit up long after the evening
meal and SO miss long hours of
strengthening sleep. Children in
dulged in this way are apt to be pale,
peevish, restless, irritable and to have
poor appetites.
"One of the most important fea-
lures of young child's daily routine
is the midday rest. Few children
under six can store up enough surplus
energy in nights sleep to carry
them happily through twelve or four
teen hours of constant physical and
mental activity. A nap during the day
helps to restore proper balance.
"Even when children are attending
two sessions of school, it is often pos
sible for the youngsters in the lower
grades to have brief rest after the
midday meal and between sessions.
If this can't be arranged at school,
see that the rest is taken after the
afternoon session."
