FATALITIES in
THE STATE

Records in the office of Commits
sioner of Motor Vehicles Of the State
of Maryland show that during the
first three months of this year there
were 81 less deaths in the State, than
in the corresponding period of 1887,
a decrease of 3S per cent.
The comparative tabulation of the
three months period shows that in
1887 during the month of January
there were 81 deaths. February 81,
March As, a total of 149.
193S-January SO. February 20,
March 80, total of 81.
1t is indeed gratifying to know
what these statistics reveal, and |
trust during the spring season that
this record will continue, and the
percentage of decrease will be
greater
According to- our summary TWEEN
ty-one, or seventy percent of the
persons killed for the month OF
March were pedestrians, five, or
seventeen percent were passengers,
and four, or thirteen percent were
the operators themselves. Most OF
the accidents continue to occur on
dry, straight roads between inter-
sections, on clear days and during
the hours of darkness, and Friday
had the highest number Of ten.
passenger cars with no defects head
the list, with operating too fast for
conditions by the operators, who in
a majority of the cases were white,
in normal conditions, between the
ages of thirty to thirty-nine with five
years or more experience, and resi-
dent of the Counties. Most Of the
pedestrians met their death "Cross-
ing between intersections" and
Walking in road left side against
traffic, even though, he may see the
car approaching, prefers walking on
the shoulder, where he considers he
belongs, instead of moving out of the
way of the approaching car. There
were two Hit and Run cases during
the month of March.
Baltimore City is charged with
eight deaths, with twenty-five deaths
occurring in the Counties.

NOTES ON ADDRESS AT CECIL
COUNTY FARM BUREAU

DR.. Symons congratulated the
farmers of Cecil County on the pro-
gress that they are making. He ex-
pressed appreciation on behalf of the
Extension Service for the cordial
support by the county commissioners.
He also praised the work of county
agent Miller and Miss Gertrude Dem
ming, Home Demonstration Agent.
He paid tribute to- the splendid
work done by Mr.. David Mcdowell,
who has been an agricultural leader
in the state for many years.
DR.. Symons also pointed out that
we have had three great periods In
the agriculture of the nation. The
first was the investigation of agricul-
tural science; the second was the ex-
tension of this information to the
people through demonstration and
the third is the period of adjustment
in which we are now in. He pointed
out that Cecil County farmers had
cooperated in the programs and that
more than $38O,O0O had been paid
during the past four years when Fed
eral programs were in progress.
He discussed the new Farm Bill
as to those figures that were par
ticularly applicable to our state in
the conservation of our soil re-
sources. He urged the Cecil County
to consider the erection of coopera-
tive cold storage locker for preserv
ing farm dressed meat. He stated
that this was a new development in
the country, that there are more
than 1000 of such plants for de-
veloping such cooperative enter
prise. These community cold stor-
age plants furnish an opportunity fol
farmers to keep their meat conven-
iently at comparatively little cost. A
plant providing for 800 lockers was
considered to be the minimum This
cculd be housed in building 80 so
feet. The average cost would be
around 100000. He also felt that
these would be advantageous for the
people in the towns and villages for
keeping their meat over long periods.
Meat could thus be bought in whole
sale lots an dfamilies could use 1t
when they desired. He believed that
Il would be means CT increasing the
consumption Of fresh meat, especial
| ly beef

But a leadership which is Spl
