cessible to the rest of the state. He
says:
Eastern Maryland needs Garrett,
scenically the most beautiful county
in the state, and Garrett needs
Eastern Maryland, not only for the
trade that an influx of summer visi-
tors would bring but also for the
strengthening of its ties with the
rest Of the state that would result
from easier communication. There has
been much talk of conservation in
recent years; well, to make Garrett
more easily accessible and therefore
more useful to the rest Of the State
would be a highly practical form of
conservation for it would mean de-
veloping a hitherto neglected asset"
He says when many Marylanders
turn their thoughts toward summer
vacations they ignore this delightful
region" and go farther and probably
fare worse.
Now, here's where he goes astray.
He says route 40, the only east-west
through highway that touches it,
skins along the northern edge and
slips over into Pennsylvania long be-
fore it reaches CARROTS western
boundary. The charming town of
Oakland cannot be reached from
Eastern Maryland except by going
around two sides Of a large rec
tange."
Perhaps the writer never heard of
U. S. route so, which also runs
through portion of the county, max
ing Washington IT'S miles from Oak
land. And if he would look on his
map he'd find that although route 40
skins the northern boundary it doesn't
pass into Pennsylvania until Just
short distance before reaching Gar
rett's extreme western boundary.
Backbone Mountain does hamper a
direct road to Cumberland, but it is
being overcome by improving the
highway from Bloomington to the top
Of the mountain, joining the Deer
Park-Kitzmiller road.
But regardless, the editorial shows
we are being recognized at last, even
though we are termed NEGLECTED
asset"

marvel at their thinking And anyway
truth is so refreshing.
For several months Ronnie Decker,
Z, has been widening his scope in
praying. After his usual "Now l lay
me-" he has added the Lords
Prayer" and since his father recently
suggested he was old enough to do a
little praying on his own account he
has added still more.
Tine other night he added, 'I'm
thankful for living in America" Upon
another occasion: make the poor
rich, make the rich not selfish and
the selfish not selfish"

I always vaguely realized that ideas
of the younger generation wouldn't be
quite the same as those of their par
ents. but I didn't think that tastes
would be different, too.
Maybe I was born just 25 years too
soon to receive the benefits from all
these fish oils, cod liver halibut liver,
etc. Anyway any cod liver oil | ever
smelled or tasted made me want to
grow up in the normal way, without
getting barreled sunlight out of bot
ties, by way Of fish oils.

stance George and John, and 5.
John begged for several days for
some capsules, footballs he sometimes
calls them, as the capsules are made
in that shape Finally l discovered
enough extra money in my pockets
after the rent and milk bills had been
paid and promised to bring some
home.

Fan Mail

My Huntington artist friend was in
spired again last week by my "short
cuts to homemaking." She writes,
"Your short cut is the wisest Of
them all" Then she proceeds to enclose
freehand drawing Of me drying the
dishes while the "little woman" sits
in the living room listening to the
radio and relaxing.
There's one thing I can't under
stand about my Huntington lady. She
can't seem to realize the family is
getting older. For the past three years
she has pictured me in error. For
instance in her latest masterpiece she
has me saying, Dear, shall | wash
the baby's bottles next"
Now l know some people who still
like their bottle, even though they are
old enough to know better, but our
boys are past the milk bottle stage.
I'd like to stay young myself, but the
boys are just bound to grow. And
another thing. I'll have her under
stand that I never break dishes-well
not very often.

America for Americans, let US give

Foreign Power, let us remember those

walk in darkness from gas or an ex-

those men with broken bodies who are
now waiting for the end that is long
in coming.
AS time goes on things will happen
that will bring us closer and closer
to war that can mean nothing to our
people as a whole. Let us use that
calm, cool judgment that has made
America what it is today. Can you

IN MEMORIAM

In loving memory of my mother,
Nellie M. Witham, who was called
away June %, 1910.
There is some one who misses you
sadly,
And finds the time long since you
went;
There is someone who thinks of you
always,
And tries to be brave and content.
Gone is the face we loved so dear,
Silent the voice we loved to hear,
tbs sad but true we wonder why
The best are always the first to die.
The flowers we place upon your grave
May wither and decay,
But love for you who sleeps beneath
Will never fade away.
By her daughter,
Laura M. Byrd.
