Commission, and Paul Holland, chief
engineer, began investigation into the
ferry company's revenues and ex-
penses and physical properties. Their
reports are expected to be ready for
submission to the Commission shortly
Following their submission, Peo-
ple's Counsel, Joseph Sherbow, will
present the case for rate reduction.
The Claiborne-Annapolis Ferry Co.,
originally operated between Claiborne
and Annapolis. It's main operation
now is between Matapeake and An
napolis with shuttle service from
Romancoke on Kent Island to Clai-
obrne, and bus connections between
Romancoke and Matapeake. The shut
tie and overland service is said to
have proved an expensive operation.
The present hearings on rate reduc-
tions have been initiated by the Pub
lie Service Commission through it's
Peoples Counsel. Sentiment for rate
reduction has been general on the mid
die Eastern Shore for some years, al
though it failed to jell sufficiently to
warrant hearings.

STASTICS SHOW
MUCH VARIANCE
AMONG GROUPS

Statistics compiled by the Maryland
Unemployment Compensation Board
for the second calendar quarter of the
year show that there has been consid-
cradle variance among the many
group affected by the unemployment
insurance system, now nearing the end
of it's second year of full operation.
Figures available indicate that the
manufacturing indutry paid, in the
second quarter, 44.7 per cent of the
total contributions required by the
law while unemployed persons group
ed under that classification received
35.5 per cent of the aggregate bene-
fits paid in that period, which includ-
ed April, May and June.
The "trade" classification (which in
cludes wholesalers as well as retail
ers paid 1873 per cent of the contri-
buttons and received in benefits 26.7
per cent of the total.
An important figure was cut by
transportation, the contributions be-
ing 1872 per cent of the whole while
the benefits were 6.7 per cent. AS

FERRY RATE CASE
BEGINS THIS MONTH

Hearings in the Claiborne -Annapo-
lis Ferry rate case are likely to be-
gin this month according to intima-
tions from the offices of the Public
Service Commission which ordered an
inquiry several months ago into the
rates charged by the ferry company
for their transportation service across
Chesapeake Bay.

occasional union difficulties. bad
debts, other operating losses. alter
native markets, varying prices, and
so called unwanted SURPRISES,
which many milk producers feel
are frequently being diverted back
into the fluid milk trade.
Consumption Declines
I'VE find. in addition. that the
consumers of milk and milk
products are apparently not as
numerous nor are their purchases
as large as they might be. due not
only to a decrease in purchasing
power in recent years, but also to a
great increase in milk and milk
products substitutes. and to ad-
vertising campaigns which arc
often unsuitable and sometimes
even harmful to an increase in
consumption and in new uses and
users of milk and milk products.
we further find that il is i'm
possible for this committee. during
the short time it has had and
while its members were in attend
ance at the session of the legisla-
ture TO complete its investigation
of these problems and to study and
work out satisfactory remedies for
the same"

investigate the cost of producing
and distributing milk products"

Said the report, signed by all

hard times and a poor season. but
also apparently from compli-
Gated feed problem, transportation
difficulties. alternative markets,
surplus production, low prices, and,
in some cases, from unsound

we also find that this situation

Early Days
in the Big Bend
Continued from last week
BY Frank MoCanra

Everyone was busy after getting tt
the settlement to get some kind of q
house up before winter set in. All
buildings were made of logs secured
out of what is now known as the
Northrup canyon. At that time it was
known as the Big canyon.
Our house was built Of round logs
and the first year we had only a
dirt floor. Among those who arrived
this year and the following were John
Henry Smith, who came late in Nov
ember and had to build his first abode
in the canyon, not having time to
haul out the logs and build on his
homestead. Others included James
Heathman, Andrew Flynn, M. j..
Schrock, Phillip Young, his father,
who was a minister; Jake, Adolph.
Billy, Charley and Louie; Jess Gable,
Tom Wampler, George Kirby, Joe
