Trying To Save The Old
Double Decker

At the banquet given by the Havre
de Grace Chamber of Commerce in
honor of Mr.. Donaldson Brown,
vice-president of the General Motors
Corporation, Governor Herbert r.
O'Conor was one of the speakers,
and in the course of his remarks
said that the Board of Public Works
of Maryland had agreed and notified
the State Roads Commission that the
time is not opportune for the demoli-
ton of the double-decker bridge
across the Susquehanna river at
Havre de Grace. This is taken to
mean that regardless of what may
happen In regard to closing the
bridge 1t will remain intact.
While the bond issue for the con-
struction of the new bridge provides
that the old bridge shall be torn
down, the Legislature at the Jam
uary session in 1941 can enact neces-
sary legislation to take care of the
situation.

AAA Wheat Acreage
Program
Provides Incre ased Production
For Home Use On Farms

A change in AAA regulation
to permit increased production OF
wheat FOR home use on farms from
which no wheat will be sold in 1941
has been announced by Harry H.
Nuttle. chairman of the Maryland
AAA Committee.
Under this new provision, a farm
from which no wheat is marketed
NAV seed a total of acres for each
family on the farm, without incur
ring deductions from AAA pay
ments. For example, farm operated
by five families may plant up to 10
acres of wheat for home use without
receiving deductions.
Formerly, Observation-Disclosures
farm incurred deductions from AAA
payments if the acreage planted to
wheat exceeded the usual wheat
acreage" for the farm, or 10 acres
whichever amount was greater. This
proyision still applies to farms oper-
ated by less than four families.
"The new provision was inserted
in the AAA regulations in an effort
to meet more nearly the food needs
of farm families" Mr.. Nuttie said.
"In the past, many such families
have had to depend upon home
grown wheat, milled locally, for
their flour, because they were finan-
cially unable to buy wheat or flour.
Under the new provision, the ad-
ditional wheat for home use may
mean the difference between a good
bread supply and an inadequate
diet"
