PARDONS ASKED FOR
TWO EASTERN SHOREMEN

Parole Director Herman M. Moser
at Annapolis, had under considera-

Eastern Shoremen, each sentenced to
five years in a perjury case resulting
from a civil suit involving fatal au-
tomobile accident.
Counsel for William L. Methvin,
operator of maple Grill" at West

Va, the prisoners, contended at a
special pardon hearing Thursday of
last week that their clients were in

cess roads bill, and that Maryland's
anticipated share of $13,OOO,OOO will
be Forthcoming shortly, the State
Roads Commission is ready to pro-
coed with its program as soon as it
gets the signal from Washington, the
Chairman of the State Roads Com
mission, Ezra B. Whitman, said to-
day.
Plans and specifications for most
of the projects in the program to re-
lieve traffic and congestion in the
areas where defense production is
concentrated is nearly complete.
Congressional delays III passing
legislation for the defense roads pro-
gram made it possible to develop
plans for what is regarded as we'll
rounded, comprehensive solution of
defense area traffic bottlenecks.
"Should the spending bill be ap-
proved, we could proceed at once
with those projects where congestion
is greatest. Surveys and preliminary
plans have been made on all other
projects of the nine projects agreed
upon with the Public Roads Admins
tration for access roadways," Mr..
Whitman said.
Heading the list is the work on
Eastern Avenue to the Glenn l.. Mar
tin plant, and on the North Point
Road to Sparrows Point. Working
in anticipation of the release of funds
most of the preparatory work on the
Eastern Avenue project has been
completed.
1--WE are prepared to release the
contract for the Eastern Avenue
bridge right now, providing the mon
ey is there" Mr.. Whitman said.
"Some rights of way along Eastern
Avenue are still to be obtained, and
in this respect, too, we expect as
sistance through the pending legis-
lation. I understand it carries with it
the right to condemn abutting prop
erty necessary for highway improve
ment."
He explained that Federal con-
demnation proceedings would greatly
facilitate acquisition of property.
Mr.. Whitman said first considera-
ton would be given to the bridge be-
cause it was the largest project nee
essary to the widening of Eastern
Avenue.
with all plans ready, we could
start construction Immediately and
have the bridge well in advance Of
the road work by next spring and in
that way have the surfacing and
bridge completed together by next
fall"
Other projects would be the ap-
proach to the Aberdeen Proving
Ground; the strengthing and widen
ing of the road from Magnolia to
Edgewood Arsenal, including the con-
struction of an overpass over the
tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad;
the improvement and relocation OF
the road between Camp Meade COM

The Health Of Children

MAY is the month dedicated to child health Parents
IEI must be especially careful to maintain health of
their childrenwhch automatically the well being
of the nation.
Right food contributes heavily to this maintenance
of health-penty of green vegetables fruit milk cereals
meat.
But-has your child been mmunized against diph
iberia? Smallpox? Whooping cough?
AS important as good food is the necessity for i'm
munization of children especially of pre-schoo age
Parents can for nominal sum, obtain such attention for
children and INDECENT parents avail themselves of the
services rendered by the city health divisions.
Immunization at the right time means children are
not afflicted in their tenderest years when effects be

one of our few complaints
" against the movies is that
they locate all pictures of the
horse opera type, especially
those involving cattle rustling,
west of the Mississippi.
This is all right with us if the
pictures are dated away back
yonder but even those in which
the action is supposed to be of
modern days are pitched in a
westerly locale.
Our bleat is on the ground of
inaccuracy. The movie industry
has simply not caught up with
the cattle rustling times.
We doubt that there has been
a steer. or COW. or even a little
calf rustled. or stolen. anywhere
west of the Mississippi since
Senator Alva Adams was
small boy. 1t is not that cattle
rustling has gone out of fashion,
but simply that the locale has
changed. 1t has switched to the
southern states like South Caro-
lima. Tennessee. Alabama, Geor-
gia and Florida.
THE movie industry is advised
L to get hep to this fact and TO
hereafter have its modern horse
operas depict the cowprodders
with cracker accents and
piney woods and palm tree
background. We want to see
the industry keep abreast of the
period. 1t should send its tech
nical advisers to the vicinity of
Kissimmee in Florida. the COW
capital of this era. for future
local color in cattle rustling
scenarios.
Only the other day Governor
Talmadge of Georgia took cog
nizance of cattle rustling in the
South and suggested that the
states named get together 10
abate the larceny. He said that
horses and other livestock are
also being lifted in Georgia and
adjoining states, though we in
clined to doubt that this is true
of Florida, as far as horses are
concerned
Why would a fellow want TO
steel a horse in Florida when he
can go out to the race tracks in
Dade County during the season
and get one for nothing with a
bonus for taking il away.
DUT if the movie industry is
ID still a little backward on the
geographical change in the cat
lie rustling situation. it is catch
ing up with other aspects of life
in Florida.
Indeed, this Spring has
brought an invasion of Florida
by Hollywood actors. directors.
