4-H- DEFENSE
WORK ALLIED
Milo H. Downey Speaker at
Kent Clubs Rally at Clay
ton School Last Friday
CLAYTON CLUB WINNER

Work of All Clubs is closely al
lied with national defense, awaken
ing as it does youth to its POSSIBLE
tiles, Milo H. Downey, All Club
agent for Maryland, told the men,
bers of the All Clubs of Kent
County at the tenth annual banquet
Friday in Clayton School. Their
pledge to clear thinking assured
the boys and girls ability to make
decisions; their pledge of hands to
larger service would help defense;
their active health program would
be emphasized more the next year,
as to nutrition, posture and recrea-
ton; pledging their hearts to great
er loyalty would lift the morale,
the speaker said. He urged the
members to fight for the things
they love" and told them that
sentiment, idealism, and faith are
mighty fortresses." If All Clubs
continue to build capable men, He
assured them, we will always be
free people-there will always be
an America"

DEBT IN.
KENT COUNTY
Sale of Old County AlmshOuse
and Prison Labor Reduces
Debts of County
PRISONERS EARN $4,000

Recent sale of the old county
almshouse property and a system
of prison labor have collaborated
to bolster substantiallyKent Coun-
tvs fiscal affairs which, only last
year, were in such straits that the
annual appropriation for volunteer
fire companies had to be deferred.
The sale of the almshouse property
has now been consummated and
$4,000 of the sale price of S15,575
will be applied toward reduction of
the county's outstanding indebted
ness, Dawson G, Minner, president
of the Levy Court, and Ernest V.
Keith, attorney for the court, an
nounced. The officials said that
the proceeds of the sale are the
taxpayers money from county
seal estate asset and logically
should be utilized to lessen the debt
and not to be used for current op-
eating expenses.
To Reduce $4,000 Debt
The $4,000 will be applied to a
debt of $4,000 to the Farmers
Bank, reducing it to $4,000. Earl
ier this year the court paid $4,000
on the debt, which then was $685.
900, Mr.. Keith said. The payment
of the $4,000 will bring to SGT 900
the amount paid by the present
court on unpaid account. The other
payments were the first $4,000 to
the bank and the $1,000 appropria-
ton to the fire companies which
was a holdover from the preceding
Levy Court, Mr.. Keith pointed out.
In addition, the court recently paid
the 1912 obligation of $1,000 to the
fire companies. Sale of the aims
house property, abandoned as a
poor house when the Old Age Wei
fare Home was opened about seven
years ago, was authorized by an
act of the last State Legislature.
Charles Clark was the purchaser
at auction. Out of the amount
above the $4,000, which is to be
paid on the county, debt, will be de-
frayed the various costs incident to
the sale.
Prisoners Earn $4,000
Under the "prison labor" system,
which is functioning through the
cooperation of the Levy Court and
Sheriff Norris c. Adams, prisoners
in the Kent county Jail have earn
ed close to $4,000 in the past three
months, out of which $1,321.75 has
been paid for the working prison
ers' board at the jail and $628.3S
paid in court and magistrates
costs which otherwise the county
would have to pay. Under resolu-
tions adopted by the court, men
prisoners are enabled to hire out
for minimum of $1.50 day and
female prisoners at minimum of
81 a day. The first so cents of the
daily wage is applied to board, and
of the remainder, one-half is ap-

Alley Dwelling Authority
Requests S4,151,00O

The Alley Dwelling Authority sub
mitted a budget estimate OF 81, ISL
900 for construction purposes during
the 1912 fiscal year in extending its
loW-rent housing and slum- clearance
program in the District.
While the estimate is nearly
S20O0,000 lower than last years, the
amount is deemed sufficient to carry
out the remainder of the loan con-
tracts that have been approved by
the United States Housing AL
thority. The Alley Dwelling AL
thority will continue its manage
ment of completed projects, receipts
from which in 1942 are expected TO
total about 1864 900 in rentals.
Under title 2 of its act the Alley
Dwelling Authority is engaged In
a housing program for which the
financing Federal agency has ear
marked $l5,0O0,000 in loans. Loan
contracts for S13572,000 already
have been approved. 1t is antici-
pated that the remainder OF the ear
marked funds will be obligated by
the end of the current fiscal year.
These loan contracts cover nine
projects-seven for Negro and two
for white occupancy-and will pro-
vide in all for more than 2,700 dwell
ing units.
For the Langston project, on New
York avenue and Twenty-fourth
street NE, the local agency esti-
mated 100000 for operation and
maintenance.

Marriage Deferment
Cases Trouble Draft
Boards, Says Rover
Work CIussificutions Also
PuzzIine, Michigan Park
Association Is Told

Problems of local draft boards in
administering the selective service
act were described to the Michigan
Park Citizens Association last night
by former District Attorney Leo A.
Rover, chairman of Draft Board
No. 90.
The two most serious problems,
Mr.. Rover said, have been those OF
deferments because of dependents
and in the type of work pursued by
the selectee. Mr. Rover said that
while there was no basis for 1t in
the law, unfortunately the impress
sion was widespread that all mar
ried men-if married prior to pas
sage of the act-would be deferred.
Look Into Dependency.
Board No. 20, he said, has tried
to put in class 3 every married man
who asked for it, and has done so if
he could show dependence of his
wife. In the large majority OF cases,
where both a man and his wife were
employed, Board No. 20 has found
the salary of the wife small enough
to Justify placing the husband in
class 3. And only when the wlfe's
salary has been sufficiently high has
the husband been placed in class l.
In the case of employment of the
selectee being vital to national de-
fense, Mr.. Rover said the policy OF
the board has been to make every
effort not to rule in such a way
as to bring Gripping of the defense
program. Deferments for this reason
have not been confined to men "ac-
tually making shells" but have in
cluded workers in all categorles,
provided they were necessary to de-
fense.
Oppose Levy for Airport.
The association opposed assess
ment of the District for any portion
of the expenses of the new airport
at Gravelly Point.
On the motion of A. L. Etzler, the
group favored extension of bus serv-
ice to the vicinity of South Dakota
avenue and Sargent road NE, and
voted that a petition be circulated on
the question. Mr.. Etzler and j. j.

John j. Hurley as a committee to

Radio Tower Salvage
Bids Held Up by Navy

Opening Of bids for the salvaging
of the three wireless towers at the
Naval Radio Station, Arlington, Va,
were ordered postponed yesterday
until II a m. on January Is.
Chief reason for the postpone
ment, Navy officials said, was that
most of the bidders proposed to
wreck the towers as they would fell
a tree. The highest tower is 600
feet and the other two are 450 feet
high.
Officials of the Bureau of Yards
and Docks wanted the towers taken
down piece by piece. Since there
was nothing in the specifications
prohibiting wrecking them as con-
tractors desired, it was decided to
make the necessary change.
