PEDESTRIAN SAFETY

In an effort to cut down traffic
fatalities among pedestrians, who
last year totaled 51% of all traffic
deaths in the State, Governor Her.
bert r. O'Conor has announced the
formal entry of the State of Mary
land into the National Contest for
pedestrian protection, sponsored by
the American Automobile Associa-
tion 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 reduction in
deaths this year. Records show that
the State is much worse off in this
respect than the country is as a
whole, with 51% total of pedes-
train deaths, against 400 for the
remainder of the country.
Undoubtedly, Governor declar-
ed, many of the pedestrian deaths
in 1889 were due to lack of care.
Of the PIT pedestrians killed, 81
were walking on highways and 81
were crossing streets, not at inter-
sections"

For instance, it is pointed out that
trying to talk over the telephone with
cigar, pipe or pencil in your mouth
is good trick but should be avoided
when making business or social call.
Speaking clearly, distinctly and in a
natural tone of voice will insure the
best reception and at the same time
leave the called party with a much
better impression of us.
Telephone employees also suggest
that when transferring a call or sig
mailing the operator we should not
bang the receiver hook. It is better
to first tell the person with whom we
are talking what we are going to do,
then gently depress and release the re-
ceiver hook three or four times.
These suggestions and others are
emphasized by telephone employees
as the best rules to follow in develop
ing our telephone personalities.

Fifty-seven thousand maple sugar
trees were tapped in the state this
spring as compared with So, 600 trees
last year and for the l929-1938 aver
age, it is announced by the Maryland
Crop Reporting Service. This years
production of sirup slightly exceeded
the average.
1t is stated that the maple sugar
and strip season in Maryland started
fully month later than in 1889 and
from 3 to A weeks later than usual.
Sap was unusually sweet but runs
were small and short. Many camps
did not operate this year, due to the
backward season, snow, rainfall, and
the cost of labor.

VODER WHICH TALKS
AND NOW SINGS WILL
AGAIN FEATURE BELL
EXHIBIT AT NY. FAIR
''VOice Mirror" And Hearing
Tests Also Included Among
Attractions

Last year it talked. This year it
talks-and sings like man. cit" is
the Voder, that remarkable electric
voice machine which will again be in
cluded among the many attractions of
the Bell Telephone Exhibit when the
New York Worlds Fair opens on May
IL.
Considered one of the three most
popular exhibits at the fair last year,
the Bell System show will again fea-
ture free demonstration long distance
calls to any point in the United
States. Visitors will also have an OPP
portunity to learn how their words
sound to others over the telephone by
means of the ''voice mirror" and to
have their hearing scientifically tested.
During the time that the fair was
opened in 1889 a total of 7,s7S, 900
persons visited the telephone exhibit
or about 30 per cent of the total paid
attendance. Over 81, 900 obtained the
privilege of making long distance
demonstration calls to which 500 900
listened. SOME 1000 tests of hear
ing were made, 100000 visitors
heard their own telephone voices re-
peated by voice mirror apparatus,
10000 were interviewed on the audi
ton stage and over 100000 listened
to the voder.

WHEAT ACREAGE ALLOTMENT

The wheat acreage allotment for
Maryland in the 1941 agricultural
conservation program is 382,487
acres, it is announced by Secretary
of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace. He
announces also that there will be
no marketing quota proclaimed for
wheat this year.
The national acreage allotment
established by the Secretary is the
same as the So million acres allot-
ted to wheat farmers for 1910. Both
the allotment and marketing quota
announcements were made following
a determination of the estimated
total supply of wheat for the new
crop year. The national acreage al
lotment is the acreage which, at
average yields and together with the
prospective carryover, will provide
enough wheat to meet normal do
nestle consumption, export and re-
serve requirements.
The national allotment is appro-
toned to states on the basis of the
10year 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, if such are made.
OF the total supply of wheat ex-
pected to be available for 194O-41,
the years estimated consumption
and exports of 7O5 million bushels
would leave carryover on July /,
1941 of 244 million bushels, it Is
stated. This reserve and average
yields on the 1941 allotment, it is
believed, will assure enough wheat
for all domestic needs and any for
eign demand which may arise dur
ing the 1941-42 marketing year.
