last year totaled 51% of all traffic
deaths in the State, Governor Her.

formal entry of the State of Mary.
land into the National Contest fol
pedestrian protection, sponsored by
the American Automobile Associa.
ton and Allied Motor Clubs.
In a proclamation outlining the
aims and necessity for such move
Governor O'Conor called on the
citizens of Maryland to cooperate
with his Maryland Traffic Safety
Committee to achieve a reduction In
deaths this year. Records show that
the State is much worse of in this
respect than the country is as q
whole, with SIG total of pedes-
train deaths, against 4O%o for the
remainder of the country.
Undoubtedly, Governor declar.

in 1899 were due to lack of care
OF the 217 pedestrians killed, 81
were walking on highways and 81
were crossing streets, not at inter
sections"

Dear Sirs:

advocate water.
After recommendations of civic
groups and all other organizations
we now have movement" 800
yards long As feet wide extending
from RED Point to Church Point
which should be dedicated to our
civic groups and the Chamber of
Commerce, in the form of our new
Yacht Basin and $1,000, which is
quite an eye sore on our civic

itself, just look it over.
After reading in our county
papers of these recommendations
pertaining to our Channel, went
to the War Department in Balti-
more, Md, and layed my complaint
before the engineers, which they
listened to very attentively.
Now my recommendation was to
eliminate the Yacht Basin and the
money it would cost for same, to ap-
ply it to the width of our Channel"
After explaining same in full, the
War Department agreed with me,
stating was right, after going over
the blue prints very carefully.
| But they further informed me
there could be nothing done about it,
as it had been approved by the
Chamber of Commerce" and others
it also had gone to Washington for
their approval. Now, for a review
of these recommendations. At
Church Point, where we have this
wonderful yacht Basin" they had
to cut into fast land, which was
tied in by logs to hold the bank, in
order to get the required dimen-
sions. presume these logs were
placed there 100 years or more ago.
The consequence is the fast land
will gradually wash and cut back
until there will be no landing at

toned to states on the basis Of the
10-year average acreage seeded to
wheat adjusted for trends. States
were given credit also for acreage
diverted under previous programs.
State allotments will be divided
among the counties and then to in
dividual farmers within the coun-
ties. Wheat growers who comply
with their 1941 allotments will be
qualified for various advantages of
the farm program, such as conserva-
ton payments, crop insurance, parity
payments. If provided. and wheat
loans. IL such are made.

pected to be available for 1940-41,
