SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL

With some schools opened and
others about to get under way for
the fall term, the Keystone Automo-
bile Club has issued a statement de-
fining the limitations of Safety Pa
troll activities. The functions of the
patrols, the Club declares, is to keep
children on the sidewalks until it
is safe for them to cross streets.
Under no circumstances are the boys
trained by Keystone permitted to
interfere with or direct vehicular
traffic, officials said. Wherever pa
trolls are operating, motorists are
urged by the Club to give their full
est cooperation by driving slowly
and carefully.
Edward P. Cufran, Public SAT-
ETY. Director of the Club, declares
that vehicular traffic control is en-
tirely outside the province of the
school patrols. I'VE make the
strongest possible point of this" he
said, lin our training of school pa
trolmen. Traffic direction is a job
for a police officer specially trained
for his work and is not to be at
tempted by the boys with the Sam
Browne belts.
In our experience over a period
Of twelve years, we have not had q
single accident to School Safety
Patrolman. We insist that the pa
trolls remain on the sidewalks. Their
duty is to keep the other children in
orderly lines and to permit crossing
streets only when it may be done in
perfect safety. Any other procedure
would defeat the purpose of the Pa
troll.

SHORT CHANGING THE
FARMERS

In many parts of the country, the
dairy farmers are seeking a larger
return for their milk. The plight OF
these farmers is graphically shown
by a simple set of figures.
During the five years, 1925-29
the return on cows per hour of labor
averaged 1915 cents. During the
ten years, 1930-39, the average was
1915 cents.
So you can hardly accuse the
farmer of profiteering when he seeks
to get little more money for his
labor and investment. Today he is
caught between low incomes on the
one hand, and constantly rising
taxes and wages and material costs
on the other. That situation, if pro-
longed, can only result in thousands
of farm bankruptcies and grave
decline in the nations agricultural
production. The farmer must be
given equality with the other econ
omic groups of this country.

GOVERNOR FORESEES VAST

10000 allotted during the past four
months period, with bids for $672,-
10000 in additional highway work
being awaited, Governor Herbert r.
O'Conor declared that he foresaw a
tremendous improvement" in our
States roads system to a point
where 1--WE again will compare fav-
orably i'm this respect with other
states in the Union.
Stating that the vast amount of
work now in progress and contem-
plated in the immediate future con-
stitute the largest amount of road
work ever undertaken in the State
during similar period, Governor
O'Conor went ON to say that zone
Of the most satisfactory features of
the roads summary is the indication
that SO many sections of the State
are represented"
Among the projects enumerated
by the Governor in connection with
the State program is the spending
of approximately 1,O0O,00O.00 for
the elimination of grade crossings at
Landover, Branchville and Jessup,
which he hailed not only as an add
ed convenience to the motorists of
the State, but as much-needed addi-
tional safeguards for traffic at
these important points.
In all, Governor O'Conor pointed
out, there were 80 projects included
in the $500, 100000 of State spend
ing, and II county projects costing
in the neighborhood of $50O,00O.OO.
Other projects named by the Gov
ernor were the road improvements
near the Glenn L. Martin Air Plane
Plant, in Baltimore County; con-
struction work on Edmondson Ave-
nue. extended; the approach roads
to the new Ocean City Bridge; and
the new dual road from Antietam
Creek to Cannon Avenue, Hagers-
town.

satisfactory speedup of functioning
by the State Roads Commission.

MOTORISTS REMINDED TO PAY
HEED TO SCHOOL BUS LAW

Now that schools throughout the
State have reopened, the Maryland
Traffic Safety Commission directs
attention to the appearance of
school buses on the highways, and
is impressing upon the motorist the
Importance of observing the School
Bus law.
SIN every section of the State, for
the coming ten months, the school
bus, loaded with precious cargo of
youth, will make up an important
part of the traffic on our highways"
E. R. McShane, Executive Secretary
of the Maryland Traffic Safety Com
mission, stated "The problem of
protecting these school children is
greater now than ever before, due
to the increased traffic from other
sources. Therefore, it is most vital
that motorists observe this law if
they would avoid accident.
AS a means to protect these child
rem the law is quoted in part, as
follows: 1.-THE driver of a vehicle
upon highway upon meeting
or overtaking any school bus which
has stopped on the highway for the
purose of receiving or discharging
any school child or children, shall
come to full stop at least ten feet
from the school bus, either in front
or rear thereof, as the case may be,
and such vehicle shall remain stand
ing until the children are received
or discharged and the bus has again
started"
On dual highways the drivers of
automobiles are required only to
stop when approaching a bus from
the rear. Failing to obey the restric-
tons of this law, involve not less
than $500 fine, with maximum
fine of $4,000.

EMPLOYMENT OF CHILDREN

With the opening of the fall tern
of school, Leo N. Mccormick, Di
rector of the Wage and Hour Divi
sion of Maryland, issued warning
that the full-time employment oil
children under the age of sixteer
during school periods is contrary to
the child labor provisions of the
Fair Labor Standards Act.
Katherine F. Lenroot, Chief Of
the Children's Bureau, Department
of Labor, which is charged with ad
minstration of the child labor pro
visions, pointed out that the basic
minimum age established by the
Act is 16. However, Regulation No
3 of the Bureau provides that min.
ors between IA and 16 years of age
may be employed in certain non
manufacturing and nom mining oc.
equations outside of school hours
but limits such employment to
three hours per day and eighteen
hours per week while school is in
session. During school vacation per.
iods, the hours may be extended tc
eight per day and total 6f forty in
one week. Working hours for child.
rem of these ages, in general, must
be between 700 a. m. and 700 D.
m.
Mr.. Mccormick, Director of the
Division of Maryland, whose Inspec-
tors assist in enforcement of the
child labor provisions of the Wage
and Hour law, said that while these
provisions are more lenient with re-
spect to children employed in agri-
culture, they do apply to minors SO
employed during the periods when
they are legally required to attend
school.
The Act itself makes provisions
for parents or custodians of children
to employ their own children under
16 years of age--the basic minimum
set in the Actin occupations other
than manufacturing or mining.
Representatives of the Wage and
Hour Division and of the Children's
Bureau are on the alert to see that
violations Of the law and regulation
are not permitted, Mr.. Mccormick
said. Because of the increase in
employment caused by the national
defense effort, there may be an in
clination on the part of employers to
retain IA and 10 year old children
on full-time jobs during the school
year. However, there is no justifi-
cation for such action, and we will
rigidly enforce the provisions of the
law intended to eliminate such
practices"

SHORTER DAYS AND COOLER
WEATHER

Fall and winter are on their
way. Many parts of the country are
still enjoying clear, warm days
but the months of rain and snow
and cold aren't far off.
The winter season brings with 1t
some of the greatest fire hazards
hazards which are responsible for
thousands of deaths and the destruc-
ton Of millions of dollars worth OF
property each year. Yet those haz-
ards can be easily corrected.
Winter hazard number one is
your heating plant. Before long, II
will be subjected to maximum load.
Any defect, any weakness, may re-
suit in a disastrous fire. That is true
of furnaces, stoves, fireplaces and
everything which has to do with
creating and conveying heat. Don't
be your own inspector--that is not
an amateurs job. Call in a qualified
repairman. 1t won't cost much--and
it may save life, home, or a fac
tory.
Another hazard is exposed cleo
trio wiring. Cords fray, and fixtures
get out of whack. Short days involve
heavy use of light. Here again, a
qualified expert should make all
repairs. And keep a stock of fuses
on hand--the more or less common
act of using penny to replace a
burned-out fuse is an invitation to
disaster.
Now is the time to get ready fol-
Winter--not when it is here and
you must use maximum heat and
light. Do it today.

Morgan, SO, of Alexandria, Va,
came to her death in an accidental
manner and exonerated Albert H.

Mrs. Morgan died in Coatesville
hospital, Saturday afternoon, Aug
ust %, from injuries suffered in the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT crash which oc-

Mrs. Morgan's husband, Edward
S., 81, same address, operator of

ing as a passenger, was severely in
jured in the crash. He was present

back in a plaster cast. His attorney,
Robert S. Gawthrop, Jr., West Ches-
ter, said Morgan would not testify.
Huss, who said he has been driv-
ing on the route to nising Sun, Md,
for Is years, stated he had his head
lights on due to the fog, and was
half off the concrete when the north
bound auto struck the rear of the
truck and turned 1t over.
At the request of Deputy Coroner
H. E. Williams, Jr., Coatesville,
who conducted the inquest, Jury
Foreman Woodward read the follow
ing verdict:
1--WE the members of the eoroner's
jury, having viewed the body and
heard testimony of witnesses in the

manner and we exonerate the truck
driver from all blame"

FEDERAL FINANCING
BY J. E. Jones

Washington, d. C. September 15---
1t takes lot of money to keep war
going, and the United States Treas
ury is showing commendable en-
terprise in selling tax-anticipation
notes. During August the sales
amounted to $1,037,000,000. The
Treasury now expects the sales to
reach 6 to s billion dollars in year.
The Treasury is selling defense
bonds and stamps at the rate OF 4
to 6 billion dollars year.
The tax-anticipation notes are
being purchased by the public for
use in paying Federal taxes when
they fall due. The notes are a sort
of voluntary installment plan that
solves the question of where to find
the money. Presto: Tax anticipation
notes are exchanged for tax receipts.
The Government is getting a
steady flow of money as the year
rolls round from the new system of
Federal financing. The new set-up Is
much simpler and easier than the
Libetry Bond campaigns of the days
of World War No. 1.

On September 1, the war entered
it's third year. In the two years that
have passed since Hitler sent his
legions into Poland, long list OF
nations have been subjected to the
ruthless Nazi rule. One of the cita-
dels of democracy, France, has sui
fered ignominious military defeat,
and has become a total state pat
termed ON Hitler's Reich. Some
100000 soldiers have been killed,
wounded or imprisoned, and an I'M
known total of civilians have died
IN the rubble of falling buildings.
and before the firing squads OF the
Gestapo and the S. S. troops. One OF
the Nazi military songs contains this
linex To-day we rule Europe
tomorrow the world is ours. The
first part of that has come true with
a vengeance--but the second has not.
Some believe that the coming year
will decide this war. Hitler is not
only fighting war on two fronts
something he always said he would
avoid at all costs--he must face a
third front, too. The third front is
the growing underground anti
Nazi movement in the occupied
countries. Reports filter out from
Europe of sabotage, the assassina-
ton Of Nazi troops and police, the
showdown of work in factories in
occupied lands which have been
forced to produce for Germany. Lat
ely, the German authorities in the
occupied areas have put into effect
extremely stringent new rules de-
signed to prevent anti-German &C
tivity of all kinds. But the under
ground movement continues and
grows.

FOR THE .. 8. NAVY


Navy Knox, we have been designat-
ed Navy Editor of the Midland
Journal, to help the Navy in CIV
ing ambitious local young men in
formation about the opportunities
the "Two-Ocean Navy" offers them
for technical training and advance
ment as they serve their country in
its emergency.
According to am announcement
made public in Washington, limit
ed number OF additional men be-
tween the ages of IL and SO will be
given a chance, by enlistment in the
Navy or Naval Reserve, to get to the
top, with big pay, in jobs which by
their aptitude and as a result of
examination they show themselves
fitted, from among nearly SO diff
erent trades and vocations. These
include such callings as aviation
machinists, dental technician, pho
tographer, diesel engineer, radio
technician, electrician, welde
storekeeper, and baker. Enlisted
men may also qualify for commits
sions as officers.
Beginning this week, the Navy
plans for a limited time to accept
new qualified men for training
These men will be sent to one OF
four Naval Training Stations and
may have chance to go to a Navy
Trade School even before assign
ment to the fleet. During this per-
iod they will be given regular Navy
pay and the Navy's free schooling is
valued at hundreds of dollars.
''Never in the history of the
United States has there been greater
opportunity for loyal young Amer
leans to serve their country and
build their futures than right now"
said Secretary Knox.
In outlining the many advantages
offered by enlistment in the United
States Navy, we point to the fact
that it is possible for bright young
man to increase his pay seven times
during his first enlistment and he
can earn as much as $126 month
This monthly figure is actually
worth much more when it is remem-
bered that the man has few living
expenses and is provided with the
finest of medical and dental care.
You have all your food and lodg-
ing, and also your original outfit OF
clothing provided by Uncle Sam free
In addition there are free sports and
entertainment--even to the latest
Hollywood pictures. On top of this
you get free travel and adventure in
colorful places--a few civilians can
afford.
When you consider the size of this
country and the fact that the Navy
will select only $1,000 applicants a
month from many times that num-
Der throughout the United States
the quotation, Many are called but
few are chosen, will apply to local
young men interested.
Navy men are "hand-picked'
lot. Candidates must be men of more
than average intelligence and ambi-
ton, of fine moral character and
must have the written recommen-
dation of at least two local towns
people.
We have just received from
Washington a supply of free illus
trated booklets for all men inter
ested and, in addition, will well
come inquiries from young men whit
wish to look into the new and great.
er opportunities the Navy now offers
| for training for future civilian ca.
reers as they serve their country
now in its emergency.
