MARYLAND is LUCKY

Notwithstanding the fact
that we have trouble here
in Maryland with coal strikes
and general economic dis
turbances which periodically
hit every section of the coun-
try, we are singuIarly fortu-
nate in inhabiting a portion
of the United States with
diversified resources. This is
verified in a recent report of
the State Planning Commits
sion, based on a thorough
economic survey.
Geographically, Maryland
is predominantly agricultural.
General farming, dairying,
trucking, poultry and fruit
stand out. We have the roll
ing Western Shore, with it's
grain, dairies and fruit. We
have Southern Maryland, with
its tobacco and truck. We
have the Eastern Shore, with
truck, fruit and general farm
products, plus it's seafood in
dustry.
Then, too, we have the
lumber and bituminous coal
of the far Western counties.
We have potential resources

THEY NEED YOUR HELP

Thousands of school house
doors will shortly close for
another vacation Of summer.
The youth of America takes
up it's work and play. Many
a student will be handed a
diploma reading of a COM
pletion of a high school or
college education. It is not
up to any of US oldsters to
dim the pleasure and salts
faction of the day by giving
an address of pessimism, or
tell of lack of jobs and the
shortage Of opportunities.
The note of gray should not
creep in to mar the achieve
ment. We perhaps play too
harshly upon the words, due
TO our own discovery that the
world is not waiting with
open arms to welcome the
young with opportunity and
success vieing for first place.
But American youth does not
graduate unaware Of national
affairs and laboring condi-
tions. The boy and girl are
able to discern the situation
and being so are more able
to meet it at the onset.

200 trucks, station wagons and ambul-
ances will begin to roll southwark
from the cities of Maryland toward
the Virginia State line.
At the same time hundreds of other
trucks will be moving southwark for

umbia, filling every main highway in
the State with moving troops.
Companies of the Maryland Ma
tional Guard stationed on the Eastern

Routes to be used for the movement
are now being studied by the Twenty
ninth Division Staff. Timing will be
of vital Importance in this, the largest
motorized movement of troops ever
made through Maryland. The move
ment will all be made by daylight, and
will be arranged so that ordinary
traffic on the highways will not be
blocked.
At the present time preliminary
plans call for the companies in Fred.

Clothing, ch e m i C Is and
building materials are avail
able in the Free State.
Maryland boasts potential
recreation centers in Garrett
and Allegany counties which
rival some of the best winter
sport areas Of the Old World.
On the Eastern Shore we
have watering places which
annually grow more attrac-

persons to buy homesites and
plan extensive estates.
It thus appears that Mary

little in comparison with the
most progressive units which
make up this great nation of

to believe, with our many
resources plus our inherent

of his small plot. Those who
can find no more room than

can still supply his table
with fresh vegetables grown
in his own garden. These
taste the best. You can
spend one dollar in garden
seed and have a return of
ten dollars in table feed, and
this is a good investment.
1t is also good exercise.

ministers favored a military alliance
