Election Board Will
Direct Consumption
Machinery To Be Put In
Operation BY Supervisors
When Bill Is Enacted

In the event of the enactment of
the urke-Wadsworth bill by Con-
gress, the Board of Election Super
visors of Cecil County, embracing T.
Bayard Vinyard, president; Harvey
w. Ewing, Of Rising Sun, and To-
bias Rudolph, of Elkton, together
with the counsel for the Board. ].
Albert Roney, Jr., of North East,
will set up the necessary machinery
to handle CONSUMPTION in this county.
According to the provisions of
the measure now before the nation
al congress, the election boards are
designated to handle the registra-
ton in the regular polling places,
and the boards of supervisors of the
various counties may use the present
poll officials, or may designate any
other workers they might choose
for the task.
The call for CONSUMPTION instruc-
ton was issued by Lieut.. Col. Henry
G. Stanwood, National Guard officer
on Governor O'Conor's staff and on
the day the Cecil County officials sat
with the instructors, several other
counties were represented.
According to Mr.. Scott, the pres
ent registration plans call for two
officials at each table where the men
who come within the age limits, to
be set by the CONSUMPTION legisla-
ton, will present themselves. The
man registering his name will be
INTERCEPTED by the officials who will
fill in prescribed cards. A card will
then be issued to the draftee. The
cards on file will be bundled and
wrapped and sent to state headquar-
tiers and finally another board, later
to be appointed, will do the drawing.
ut must be considered, however,"
Mr.. Scott said, "that as yet there is
no CONSUMPTION law on the books,
and not until such law is passed
will anything really definite be
known about the final set-up."

Official Opening o:
Susquehanna Span

After numerous delays and post
ponements of the opening date 1t
was announced last week that the
official opening of the $4,500,0OO
steel and concrete Susquehanna
river highway bridge between Perry
Vile and Harve de Grace, would
open to traffic with appropriate
ceremonies on Wednesday of this
week, with Governor Herbert R.
O'Conor, members of the State
Roads Commission, other state
officials and WPA officials present.
The ceremonies were scheduled to
take place at the administration
building on the PerryvilIe sids, when
short addresses were to be made by
Governor O'Conor, Col. Clark, act
ing administrator of the WPA in
Washington, Col, Gilmore, regional
director of Philada., and Mr.. Cree
don of the regional Office in New
York. Following the addresses a rib
bon was to be severed and the bridge
be opened for toll traffic.
Governor Herbert O'Conor was
the central figures at the ceremony
marking another historic event in
highway construction in Maryland
the formal dedication of the new
Susquehanna River Bridge between
Perryville and Havre de Grace.
Formal opening of this import
ant structure, following close upon
the Governors announcement Of
impending roads expenditures total
ling possibly $75,O0O,0OO in con-
nection with the development of a
strategic network of Maryland roads
for Defense needs, emphasizes the
rapid strides that are being made in
improving our roads and bridges
under the present Administration.
Through the opening of the Nor
antown Bridge across the Potomac
some months ago; the completion of
the Susquehanna Bridge, and the
prospective completion of the Great
Potomac River Bridge, near Nor
gantown, Maryland, next year, Gov
ernor O'Conor's Administrator is
assured of an all-time record in
bridge and road construction in
Maryland.
Details Of the strategic plan that
was compiled for Federal approval
shows that every section of the State
will be benefited greatly when the
proposed improvements are complet-
ed, probably without direct cost to
the people of Maryland. Most i'm
portant of the projects contemplat-
ed are new dual highways between
baltimore and Washington, ana
between Annapolis and Washing
ton. Route 40. from Baltimore to
Hagerstown, and the York Road,
from Baltimore North to the Penn
sylvania Line, will be partly recon-
structed with a view to bringing
them into line with Federal require
ments, for the ultimate creation of
the dual highways In each case.
