truth and the truth shall make you
Free
"Those of us who believe in the
democratic way of life therefore take
heart and courage from the fact that
the Bible, after centuries of circula-
ton still holds it's place as the worlds
best seller. I believe that all of the
differences that rend the world today
would find speedy solution if men and
nations would but return in all hu-
mility to the plain teaching of the
Sermon on the Mount. There. indeed
are the truths that set men free.
"Let us hope that the American
Bible Society will continue it's good
work in disseminating the Sacred
Scripture and pray in the fullness of
time that all the world will accept the
unchanging truths which the Book OF
Books proclaims."

Tinnes-Herald reported the following
story in recent paper:
Out of a darkened Washington
theatre, where hundreds raptly watch
ed the unreeling of story of marital
heart-break, an attractive young di-
vorcee FASTENED away Friday, Novem-
Der oath, to keep a rendezvous with
death.
In the theatre an hour later the
tragedy on the silver screen had shift
ed to semicomedy and hundreds
chuckled in the darkness as they saw
the young misunderstood wife would
soon be reunited with her husband.
But the young woman who had has
tened away stood by then on the Cal
vert Street Bridge, smiling serenely
in the bright sunshine as she looked
at Rock Creek Valley lao feet below.
And a second later WPA workers
in the valley dropped their tools in
horror when they saw woman's body
plunge from the bridge railing and
crash against the macadam parkway.
Then the police and the coroner
came and identified the woman as
Mrs. Helen Hudson Jones, SO, school
teacher of Baden, Md. They learned
she was the mother of a 6-year-old
daughter who is with relatives in Ten
nessee, and that she had been separat-
ed from her husband for about four
years.
And the police and medical men
! stood about bit longer than they
usually do at such tragic scenes and
discussed what seemed to them to be
miracle.
Because although the woman had
died instantly after the 140-foot fall
her face remained serene and unmark-
ed And there was no blood on the
roadway.
The only scars on her body were
nearly concealed beneath bandages
wrapped around her wrists after she
slashed them in a futile suicide at
tempt October %.
The police didn't attempt to explain
how Mrs. Jones had escaped mutila-
ton in her leap. They pried bit into
her past life and then Coroner A.
Magruder Macdonald issued certifi-
cate of suicide.
Mrs. Jones, police learned, had been
patient in Cedarcroft Sanitarium
since November 1, when she was re-
leased from Garfield hospital, with
bandaged wrists. She had been a
school-teacher at Baden (Md.) school
and seemed to be in i'll health and de-
spondent since the beginning of the
school term.
Three friends, hoping to cheer her,
took her from the sanitarium Friday
and drove to a downtown theatre. The
friends became engrossed in the story
of heartbreak on the silver screen and

LIBRARY PROJECT
IS APPROVED FOR
LOWER COUNTIES

A National Youth Administration
library assistance project serving the
Eastern Shore has been approved &C
cording to an announcement received
from Ryland N. Dempster, State Ad-
minitrator. Units will operate in nine

Is schools and public libraries located
in Easton, Denton, Chestertown, Cen
treville, Queenstown, Crisfield, Prin-
cess Anne, Salisbury, Cambridge,
Snow Hill, Pocomoke City, Berlin and
st. Mitchaels.
Miss Adeline Pratt, State Director
of the Maryland Public Library Com
mission in commenting upon the ap-
proval of this project, explained that
through the services of young people
supplied by the National Youth Ad-
ministration, library facilities on the
Eastern Shore will be greatly extend
ed. "The Library Commission well
comes this opportunity to cooperate
with NYA in offering training pro-
gram of value to young people, and
better library service to the commune
ties in which they live"
John Max Chambers, NYA Super
visor for this district, stated that work
would begin within the next ten days
and that applications are being receiv-
ed at his Denton office.
There. are now $500 boys and girls
between IS and 25 employed by the
National Youth Administration in
MARYLAND. It is estimated that ap-
proximately 2SO of them are engaged
in library work similar to that con-
templated by the Eastern Shore Lib

Four of thirty odd new work-pro-
jects approved during November, are
for library assistants. Others include,
roadside improvements, landscaping

of furniture, auto-mechanics and the
like.
Several travelling repair units are
being organized whereby crews OF
young men move from school to school
leaving in their wake, graded lawns,
mended furniture and freshly painted
walls. One of the most ambitious pro-
jects will be the construction of pub
Lie incinerator in Leonardtown, st.
Nary's County.
Mr.. Dempster pointed out that all
projects are planned to provide train
ing for the boy and girl on the job. He
stated that every attempt is made to
place the youth at work along lines
of his choice and abilities. NYA pro-
jects are always sponsored by a pub
lie agency.
Mr.. Dempster explained that num-
Der of new projects are contemplated
which will offer at least 1000 more
youths on the Eastern Shore training
in construction work, carpentry, con-
troll of soil erosion, cooking and diete-
tics, clerical work and the other use
full activities, qualifying boys or girls
for private employment. While work
ing part-time NYA youths resolve a.

on public property and is outside the
budget scope of the sponsoring agen-
cies.

The hundreds in the darkened
theatre were not aware of the tragedy

why the three women they passed in
the lobby were weeping, for the movie
ended happily.
