THE CANDIDATES
MUST SPEAK ON
THEIR ACTIVITIES

The two great political parties of
the United States have made their
choice of presidential candidates.
Only Mr.. Roosevelt can speak with
full authority in defense of New Deal
activities and purposes. And only
Mr.. Willkie, among the opposition,
has brought to bear on the New Deal
criticism which has been uniformly
pointed, intelligent, soundly reasoned,
and based on philosophical rather
than partisan principles.
There can be no question but what
the New Deal has vastly broadened
the powers of government over the
people = over individuals and indus
tries alike. That is the New Deals
basic philosophy centralized gov
eminent in Washington, exerting its
influence over almost every phase of
life. 1t is exactly this which Mr..
Willkie opposes "a Jeffersonlan In
tradition, it is his thesis that the State
Is DdSlcdlly CHe enemy VI lilul'iuNoi
freedom, and that the least possible
government is the best possible gov
eminent for the governed.
Next November the people will de-
termine whether or not the trend of
the last eight years, with government
grown great and powerful and costly
beyond all peace-time precedent, is to
continue-or whether we are to re-
turn to the tradition of liberal, local
lied government and self-rule as en-
visioned by the founders of the nation.
This is undoubtedly the greatest issue
that most living voters have ever had
to decide upon.

t accurate puOacty GtSptdYe0 CLOCK
oaos of the A. T. e T. headquarters
side of the clock are eight smaller
IS parts of the World.
and radio. Any clock precisely ad-
justed to the true Naval Observatory
signal will be right at the moment of
adjustment. But in the intervals be-
tween .these checks with astronomical
observations, the clock in our window
varies less from official time than any
public clock anywhere"
The electrical driving mechanism of
the new clock is operated by an ex-
ceptionally steady current, and will
therefore drive a clock with great ac-
curacy. This special steady current
is controlled by apparatus at the Bell
Laboratories which is accurate to one
part in ten million. The very fact
that this unusual clock was designed
by telephone scientists and is oper-
ated under the control of telephone
devices suggests that time must be
very important to the telephone engi-
neer. Telephone mechanisms operate
swiftly, and to make them work prop
erly, time must often be measured in
tiny portions.
Beside the new clock in the window
are eight other clocks showing the
.comparable time in ten distant cities
of the world. These contrasts in time
are an impressive exposition and re-
minder Of the ability Of modern Wor2a-
wide telephone service to overcome the
obstacles of space and time itself.

Special Army
Recruiting On
Eastern Shore

A special army-recruiting campaign
on the Eastern Shore opened Monday
when a group of officers and men from
the Baltimore recruiting office began
tour of Maryland and Virginia
towns in a trailer carrying movies,
literature and sound equipment.
Coy. D. M. Cheston, district re-
cruiting officer, said that enlistment
on the Eastern Shore had been lag
cling behind other sections of the Bal
timore district and that the purpose
of the tour would be to make closer
contact with potential soldiers.
In charge of the flying squadron"
known in army phraseology as a
mobile recruiting station = will be
Second Lietenant J. B. DEM.
The trailer will participate in re-
cruiting Day parade Monday after
noon in Cambridge, and the personnel
will be guests at a special dinner to
be given that night by civic and fra
ternal groups. A similar program, in
Guiding a dinner and night parade, is
scheduled for Salisbury on Sept. %.
The army is seeking men from 18
to 35. Those under Fl can enlist only
with the consent of their parents.
There still is room for men in many
specialities of the army, such as the
Air Corps, the Signal Corps, the Ord
nance Corps, the Engineering Corps
and the Quartermaster Corps, Colonel
Cheston said.
Those enlisting in the regular army
now can choose the branch of the
service in which they want to serve,
he explained.

New York .. Telephone service is
the sum Of many tiny things. For
instance, the miniature fuses on the
distributing frame in a large long
distance telephone center like that Of
New York are called "grasshoppers." "
When one of the 10000 little fuses
blows, a lamp lights, a bell rings, and
the "legs" Of the "grasshopper" stick
out 50 that in second or so the fuse
is located and replaced. It is grass
hoppers" like this that have put speed
and reliability into telephone service.

FACT THAT I'VE CAN'T BE
Seen" MAKES IT EASY TO
NEGLECT PHONE MANNERS
Local Bell Companies Stress
Need For Courtesy In
Conversations

It's easy to pick up a telephone,
carry on conversation, then slam the
telephone down. It's easy to be cross
and snappy in telephone conversations.
It's easy to shout over the wire-it's
easy, yes, but why is it done? Be-
cause the person at the other end of
that wire can't see who he is talking
to! That makes all the difference in
the world. In face-to-face converse
ton we wouldn't finish our talk, then
slam the door. We would say good
bye" politely. We wouldn't shout in
somebody's face and chances are we
would think twice before being cross
and snappy. But with good many of
us that telephone makes courtesy and
personality unnecessary. We are just
talking over wire" and if nobody
can see US, why worry.

5. R. Collins
Seems To Have
Inside Track

With the unanimous endorsement
of the bar association of three of the
counties of the circuit Queen
Anne's and his own, Kent-State's
Attorney Stephen r. Collins is believ-
ed to have an edge on other aspirants
for the appointment of a judge to the
bench to fill the vacancy left by the
death of Chief Judge William Mason
Shehan.
Announcement was made Monday
that Gov. Herbert r. O'Conor will
shortly announce the appointment.
The governor has stated that he
will be guided in making his appoint
ment in the largest measure by the
wishes of majority of the bar as
sociations in the five counties COM
prising the circuit.
Ebert Marshall, an associate of
the late Judge Shelhan in the law
business in Easton, has the indorse-
ment of the Talbot County Bar. The
Bar Association of Caroline County,
while not indorsing either candidate,
has expressed the opinion that either
candidate is capable of filling the
position.
The appointment is expected to be
made within the next few days.

Rates Reduced On Overseas Telephone Calls

Rates for overseas telephone calls
from the United States to certain
countries in South America, the West
Indies and across the Pacific have just
been reduced. The countries to which
rates were lowered are Argentina,
Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay,
Peru and Uruguay, Puerto Rico and
the Bahamas, Hawaii, Netherlands
Indies Including Bali, Celebes, Java,
Madeira and Sumatra) and the Philip
pines.
Reductions for three-minute CONVEX
satinns amount to as much as Sc in
the case of the longest radiotelephone
circuits affected by the new schedule.

But according to employees of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Companies we should worry. Actual
surveys made by local Bell System
companies prove that courtesy and
personality in our telephone CONVERSE
lions bring results. Take, for ex-
ample, the telephone directory pic
tured above. It is suffering from
"cobwebitis," which means that it's
ewner, instead of looking up his num-
Der, has been trying to call from
memory. This is a sure way of irri-
tating you and the person you called
by mistake. BE SURE OF THE
NUMBER. If you are not sure it will
save time and wear and tear on the
nerves to look up the telephone num-
Der in the directory. It will bring
results.
Answering a telephone by simply
saying "hello" may be good guess
ing game, but it probably won't put
the called party in very good frame
of mind. In business always answer
by giving your name.
Don't create q bad impression by
constantly interrupting a telephone
conversation. Be attentive. You
wouldn't interrupt q face-to-face con-
yersation and the same rules Of Ell.
quette apply in telephone converse
ton.
The observance Of these and other
simple rules Of courtesy will aid in
developing your telephone personality.
Remember them the next time you
telephone.
