STUDENT COUNCIL HOLDS
MEETING IN ASSEMBLY
Lewis Jones Speaks To Student
Body On Student Government

The assembly committee asked the
Student Organization of Oakland
High school to present and as
sembly program which would show
the council in action. A committee
was appointed by the president, Mary
Treacy, to make plans for the assemb-
ly. The result was one of the finest
assemblies the school has had.
The joint assembly was held on the
morning of April rs. The President
opened the assembly and then Miss
Steele directed the group in a song.
DeCorsey Bolden, vice-president of
the council, read the Scripture and
then led the group in the Lords
Prayer. The council then took the
stage and Condor Browning IVA gave
a talk on "The Importance Of the Stu
dent Council in the School" and Billy
Stemple lib told about "The Import
ance of and How to Elect Student
Council Members"
After the last talk, the president
called the meeting to order and the
secretary called the roll and read the
minutes. The president then called
for any old business that had been left
over from the meeting. Frederick
Kisner introduced the problem of
financing social functions in the
school, Several members expressed
their views on the problems and a
motion, which asked that the problem
be carried back to the home rooms for
further discussion, passed by a unani-
nous vote. Another problem, concern
ing the track meet at State Teachers
College in Frostburg on May II, was
brought up by Raymond CLANCY. He
ably presented the problem and after
he finished there was roar of APP
plause. Some discussion followed and
a motion was unanimously carried
which asked that the problem be taken
back to the home rooms for discussion
Since there was no further business
the meeting was adjourned and the
floor was turned over to Mr.. Bittle
Mr. Bittle in turn introduced Mr.
Lewis Jones, 80, local attorney, who
spoke to the student body on "The
Significance of Student Participation
in Student Government" Mr.. Jones
said that a student council is as i'm
portant to school as a federal gov
eminent is to a country. After telling
more of the significance of a student
council to a school, he closed his talk.
Miss Steele directed the group in
another song and after Mr.. Bittle

POISON BAIT FOR FARMERS

New Deal manipulators have adopt
ed a new scheme which they hope will
cover up the failure of the farm pro-
gram and induce farmers to support
the New Deal in November, in spite Of
that failure.
The new plan is to turn the Farm
Credit Administration into a political
agency whereby farmers may more
easily go into debt. Instead of giving
farmers better prices, the New Deal
now proposes to give them a chance
to become bankrupt, by borrowing
easy money from the new Wallace
directed lending agency.
Honest and Independent admins
traitors of the great Farm Credit Adj
ministraton and Federal Land Banks
have been superseded by political APP
pointees who will take orders from the
man who is primarily responsible for
the failure of the farm program. In
retiring after years Of effort in build
ing up a solid farm credit system,
Albert S. Goss, Land Bank Commits
sioner, thus exposed the new scheme:
''Now the distinct tendency is to-
ward a type of so-called credit in
which personal responsibility is de-
MED, loans are made to everybody, no
adequate margin of safety is provid-
ed, and the government pays the loss
whenever the borrower wants to quit
paying. ." | hope the foundations
of sound credit system have been so
firmly laid that they will withstand
the efforts being made in this election
year to use it for political purposes.
Farmers should never forget that lend
ing them deeper into debt is no sub
stitute for lack of income"
Farmers are to be lured by the
poison bait of "easy money" The the
DRY behind this scheme to debauch
distressed farmers is that they are
purchasable and will eagerly sell their
independence and solvency for mess
Of New Deal pottage.
No wonder a roar of Indignation
comes from farm organizations as
they detect the plan to pervert the
Farm Credit Administration into a
Corrupt Practice Administration, fl
nanced by the peoples money, to keep
the New Deal in power.
Bankruptcy and slavery to the bu-
reaucracy that has ruined them
that is the fate prepared for farmers
by the treacherous New Deal.

HEALTH SERVICES GIVEN
FOR YOUNG MARYLANDERS
Over 10000 Are Given Health
Examinations in Counties
in 1889

Over 10000 young Marylanders
were given a complete health eXami-
nation and their mothers, or others
in charge, were advised as to follow
ND care at the health conferences he'd
in the counties in 1889 under the aus
pices Of the Bureau of Child Hygiene
of the State Health Department and
the County Health Departments.
Nearly 5000 of the children were
taken to the conferences for a return
checking-up. To 1875 of the young
sters, 8.257 white and BATS colored,
it was a new experience. The chill
dren ranged in age from very young
babies to their older brothers and
sisters who will soon go to school.
Nearly $500 were under year old;
over 5000 were from one to four; and
5,828 from five to six years old.
In issuing the report, DR.. K. Fl.
Riley, Director of the State Health
Department, explained that the pur-
pose of the conferences is to prevent
sickness and to advise the mothers
how they may help to keep the chill
dren in good health. An effort is made
to point out conditions that would de-
velop into serious handicaps if allowed
to run on. Older children who are at
tending school have similar health
supervision, DR.. Riley said, in connec-
ton with the health services in the
schools.
Nearly one-fourth of the children
over 4,400-were free from conditions
requiring special attention. The next
big group-3,55O, 2,645 white and
906 colored-needed dental care. Ton
sils and unfavorable conditions of the
throat came in for special considera-
ton for $500 of the white children
and 1000 of the colored. Special adj
vice as to food habits and food com
binations was given for about 1900
children-7OO white and 500 colored-
who were underweight or showed other
signs of bad nutrition.
Protection against diphtheria had
been neglected for / 900 of the chill
dren and over 1890 had not been
vaccinated against smallpox. The i'm
portance of having the children safe
guarded against these diseases was eX
planned to the mothers and clinics
were arranged in many places so that
they could be attended to. In connec-
ton with the various follow-up acti.
vities resulting from the health con-
ferences, over $4,000 home visits were
made by the nurses from the county
health departments.
One or more child health confer
ences, each month, is planned for each
Of the County Health Departments, for
the current year, DR.. Riley said. Dur
ing the summer months they will be
supplemented by the tour of the
Health Trailer, which will reach places
off the main highways. Arrange
ments are also being made, in CO.

schools and the Parent Teacher Asso-
Citations, for the usual series of spring

NEW DEAL DEFEATISM

New Deal commissars who head
some of the spending agencies fill the
air with lugubrious mouthings, pro-
claiming hopeless future for Amer
lean youth. They do this for two rea-
sons:
First, the recovery of the United
States would throw these commissaI :
cut of their jobs.
Second, they are believers in an
alien theory which holds that citizens
should be supported and bosed by the
state.
1t is not to the personal advantage
Of New Deal jobholders to break the
log-jam that chokes the current of
American enterprise. Once loosed, pr
vate enterprise would demand mora
workers than are available. The re
lief rolls would disappear. New Deal
iobholders would be forced to earn a
living at useful work.
These jobholders take their cue
from the Architect of the New Deal
himself. When running for election in
1882, Franklin D. Roosevelt said:
"Our industrial plant is built.
Our last frontier has long since been
reached. Our task now is NOT
exploitation of natural resources or
,,,ol,c;uo, mana rroOIpv
Under this defeatism turks the I'M
American scheme to eXalt the state
over the people; to subject the individ-
ual to supermen who will do his plan
ming and put him on the dole Of ser
Witty. Americans are to be stalwart
masters of themselves no longer-they
are to be goose-steppers and grow
elers obeying the dictates of adven-
turers who grab off the Nations polit-
ical powers and twist them to Their
own advantage.
The glorious history of the United
States gives the lie to New Deal de-
featism. "Our last frontier" has been
proved to be a myth. Beyond every
frontier there has been another, more
spacious, with broader opportunities
for aspiring youth.
The New Deal has insulted the spirit
of America in many ways, but the
GROWING insult is to charge it with
such decreptitude and senility that it
must hand over its affairs to the politi-
cal adventures spawned by the New
Deal
