ANNAPOLIS, Md. Oct. l6. CUP)-
Maryland ended its fiscal year
Tuesday with fat treasury sur
plus. Effective today state taxes
are going down.
Gov. Herbert r. O'ConOr. under
authority granted at the last ses-
sion e. the state legislature or
dered a t of eight cents in the
real and personal property tax rate,
effective Oct. /. He also is con-
sidering asking the legislature to
cut state income taxes.
O'Conor said he considered the
state tax reduction in part a con-
trbution to the national defense
because it comedies with increased
federal taxes made necessary b.
the defense effort
I'VE feel that at time like
this, when the federal governments
is calling on the people for great
should do everything in their pow
er to reduce the load of state ana
local taxes on their citizens.
ADVICE TO OTHERS
IT'S not good sense and it isn't
fair to make them wear two mill
stones around their ncckS at a time
when one OF them-the federal tax
burden-is necessarily made heaV-
ier.'
Here's O'Conor'S advice to other
states IN t9Y rp6OptlOn
l. Adopt a pay-aS-you-gO state
budget.
g Maintain a monthly check on
spending by government depart
ments, order economies wherever
possible and impOund savings at
end of each month.
3. Avoid diversion to the gen
eral treasury of revenues collected
for special purposes, such as high
way improvement
T. Tighten up tax collection ma

The reduction authorized by the
legislature and ordered by O'COn-
or brings the real and personal
property tax rate for The 1912
Maryland fiscal year, beginning TO-
day, down to IA cents per 500 and
for l943 down to 13 cents. 1t VIII

DEBT REDUCED
OConor is a Democrat. When he
took office Jan. IL 1889. the state
had bonded Indebtedness of S49,-
100000.
II was determined to reduce that
so that we could save on interest
charges and apply the savings TO

poses, he said BY the end of my

Summer Menus Must Provide
Essential Food Elements
BY IDA JEAN KAN

IF YOU are trying TO string
along mainly on sandwiches
and iced tea during the heat
waves, don't blame il all on the
weather because you feel as
limp as a wilted lettuce leaf.
Summer menus frequently fall
short of measuring UP 10 the
nutrition yardstick. But While
you need less fuel, you require
just as many Of the protective
elements.
SO that there will be less
work in preparation I'd also
less for the digestive system. the
menus should be kept simple.
Fresh vegetables, whole grain
or enriched bread, a moderate
amount of lean meat. eggs, milk
and fresh fruit in season make
a good Summer diet.
II you are used 10 having hot
food at each meal, it is better
not TO switch suddenly TO all
cold foods. A good rule is 10 al
ways have one hot dish.
Iced Water
When you are feeling the
heat. don't gulp down a couple
of glasses of iced water. The
shock to the nerves Of the
stomach is too great.
Whether a hot beverage or a
cool one is the more cooling de-
Ponds on the humidity. If the
air is hot and dry, it is con-
ducive TO evaporation and a hot
beverage proves cooling.
But on the days the air is
filled with moisture. a cool
drink is better because body
heat is used 10 warm the LIQUID
in the stomach. II should be
drunk slowly, however, and not
gulped down.
More Salt
II YOU work or play hard in
the Summer and perspire freely.
you may need a bit more salt
in the diet 10 offset that which
is lost in perspiration.
Our Summer menus are espe-
cially apt 10 be low in the re-
quirements Of vitamins A and
B, and the minerals, calcium and
iron.
This deficiency is easily over
come by having a green vege-
table every day, plus a green
salad, enriched or whole grain
bread, an egg and milk - skim
milk or buttermilk when you
are trying TO cut calorieS.
The liberal use of fresh fruits
and vegetables which are abun-
dant at this season furnishes

The OIeander
Needs Rest
To Bloom
BY AMATEUR GARDENER

THE OLEANDER requires a
rest period like many other
plants. to ripen the well devel-
oped shoots before they will
bloom the second time.
Cut down on the watering
for several weeks but keep the
plant where the light and air
are good. II the plant is tall
and straggly it can be cut back
rather severely which will in
duce il TO make new shoots
come out from the bottom. Set
IT outdoors during the Summer
months but don't neglect il.
In the Fall, before frost, re-
pot the plant in a good loan.
II is a heavy feeder and il will
be wise to place some we'll rot
ted manure in the pot. but be
sure and place a piece of broken
crockery over the drainage hole
TO insure good drainage.
AS the days become longer
the plant will grow faster and
by February II will require more
plant food. Do not prune after
February but let the shoots de-
velope into the Towering buds.
