The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1940-03-15

Some of our best known labor
leaders seem to have taken lesson
from Washington. More and more
their actions are guided by political
considerations; the interest of the
working man in having good and
permanent job is apparently regard
ed as secondary to the business OF
jockeying about in an effort to gain
personal advantage.
It is no secret who pays for this
The worker pays. He pays for IA
Dor racketeering. He pays for use
less and unjustifiable strikes which
throw him out of job for months
on end. He pays for the internecine
warfare which has disturbed labor's
ranks for years.
There can be no question but that
the cause of legitimate .union1sm
which will advance the real interests
of the workers has been seriously
damaged.
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1940-03-15

The effect of the war abroad ON
American business gradually becomes
clearer. And, for the most part, 1t
is different than was expected when
hostilities began last September.
Paul Mallon recently published a
brief analysis of the situation, FUR
bishing it with facts of considerable
interest
First, war has upped our exports
but, curiously enough, the rise in
sales to belligerents has been less
than to neutrals. Total export rise
is almost 80 per cent, but increase
in goods going to Britain has been
only 10 per cent. Norway's demand
for American supplies has shown the
startling rise of 144 percent. Swedish
buying is up 81 per cent, Dutch At
per cent, and italian Al per cent.
No one believes that these countries
are using all of what they buy for
themselves Logical explanation is
that large part of the purchases is
being transshipped to Germany,
which is unable to trade directly
with us because of the Allied block
ade.

NINE LESS TRAFFIC DEATHS IN
FEBRUARY THROUGHOUT
STATE
STATE
13 of % Counties Have Spotless
Record for Two MOnths-4OO
Groups Supporting
Program

Not only did February turn in the
best traffic record in many months,
with a net reduction for the State
of 8 deaths, or 22 against 81 in
1899, but almost of equal interest
is the fact that 13 of the 23 coun-
ties of the State have had perfect
record in this respect for the first
two months of the year. Governor
Herbert R. O'Conor was enthusiastic
over the February results and con-
fident that the remainder of the
year will bring great gains in the
fight his Maryland Traffic Safety
Committee has been waging since
October against traffic fatalities in
the State.
But for the death of a pedestrian
in Cecil County, the entire Eastern
Shore would have had spotless
record for the first two months. On
the Western Shore, the Counties in
the select class for the period in
elude Allegany, Carroll, Charles,
Garrett and Washington. In addi-
ton, Anne Arundel, Calvert and st.
Mary's went through February with
out a death charged against them. OF
the 22 deaths in the State during
the month, / occurred in Baltimore
City. but even there a reduction of
one was effected, the first time the
City has shown downward trend
in months.
Traffic Safety Committee head
quarters, in the State House at An
napolis, has been busy mailing out
more than four hundred attractively
printed Certificates of Apprecia-
ton, signed by Governor O'Conor
to the many Civic and Service Clubs,
Church Organizations, Fire Compan-
les, Business Organizations, All and
Home Makers Clubs, Parent Teach
ers' Groups and Veterans Posts,
which have taken formal action
signifying their Willingness to sup
port and cooperate with the Mary
land Traffic Safety Committees Safe
ty Program.
Individual memberships represent
ed by the groups and organizations
already on record will total approx
mately forty thousand. One of the
most important groups to fall in line
during the past week was the Phil
lips Packing Company Employees
Association, of Cambridge, with a
membership of approximately two
thousand.
The Certificates, bordered in gold
and carrying the Seal of Maryland,
will be an attractive addition to the
meeting rooms of all of these
groups, and will serve as constant
reminder to the members of the i'm
portant part they are playing in the
Safety Program, which has for its
aims the lessening of deaths and ac-
cfdents on the highways.

North Carolina Town
Is 'Zoned' for Loa6ng

Citizens of Louisburg, N. c., are
inclined to believe that life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness in
cludes the privilege of a bit of pub
lie leisure. Louisburg has gone to
bat for it's citizens and country peo-
pie who like to stop on the street
and talk about politics, the war and
hunting.
Along a couple of busy streets,
the sidewalks have been marked off
in three lanes. Center lane is strict
ly for walking purposes-the two
outside lanes are for the innocent
idling which is part of the pleasure
of southern town. A few benches
are placed in the loafing space.
Under Louisburg's system, a
farmer come to town to sell his
tobacco is in no danger of being
pushed around by hurrying Satur-
day afternoon crowds. Upon meet
ing his friends from the next coun-
ty, the group simply steps over into
the loafng zone, and there, protect
ed by law and manners, they may
chin to their hearts content.

Direct Mass Parking

New Hampshire state police, by
use of a high observation tower,
believe they have another solution
to the problem of directing mass
parking at such huge sport events
as championship ski jumps, football
games and prize fights. An obser-
walton tower first was used at the
national championship ski jump at
Milan, N. H. It was placed in the
center of the parking area-an air.
portland the operator given large
placards bearing the numbers of the
various parking lanes below. When
the operator saw that lanes in one
section of the parking area were be-
ing filed, he blew a whistle to at
tract attention of the traffic direc-
tors, and held up the number of the
lane to which he wished traffic di-
rected. This kept the flow of auto
mobiles continuous and uninter-
rupted. The method is similar to the
one used by New Jersey state police,
who use observation balloons in di-
recting Sunday traffic during the
summer months.

URGES RETURN TO LAND FOR
PROSPERITY

A return to the land and a lot OF
hard work, coupled with the self-re-
lance and Independent spirit OF the
founding fathers Of his country, is
the formula needed to put the ma
ton back on its feet, in the opinion
of Roger w. Babson, business
analyst. Citing the case of an Ar
kansas man who lost his job in the
depression, but chose to take ms
family to a small farm and work
himself out of his predicament in
stead of relying on government aid,
Mr.. Babson concludes that personal
initiative was what made this coun-
try great, only personal initiative VIII
solve it's present problems.
Mr.. Babson believes, however, that
this return to the land must be at
the initiative of individuals who want
to make their own way. Resettie-
ment projects, such as tried by the
government, set people down with
fine homes, modern convenience
and an insurmountable debt.
