bill Monday to withdraw the right
of judges to waive the 48-hour
marriage license delay law, Senator
Wilmer Fell Davis, Republican. of

permit immediate issuance of

issued at Elkton, Marylands

obtained through court waivers,
many of them on the basis Of
physicians certificates that the
bride-to-be was pregnant.
But, Senator Davis said, in the
two and a quarter years that the
delay law with waiver provision had
been in effect in Caroline County,
'our judge has issued only two
orders to set the delay aside"
Yesterday, he introduced a bill
to make it perjury punishable by as
much as years imprisonment for
any one to falsify any material
statement to expedite a wedding.
Budget Bill Nearly Ready.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee will meet at 2 pm. Monday
in special session to conclude its
deliberations on Gov. O'Conor' S

Committee has virtually completed
its study of the measure.

only obstacle to action on other
appropriations bills, including the
administrations $4,000,000 bond
issue for capital improvements and
the bill for State purchase of the
Claiborne-A Annapolis ferry.

while in India at Calcutta he at.
tended a Ledge and said one of
the interesting features was the
fact that when he entered the
Lodge, instead of finding the one
book on the altar. he found three
books-the Vedas of Persia, the
Koran. and our Holy Bible.
He said that when h e was

He assured the boys that if
they would put on another party
two years hence. he would expect
a real celebration at the time he
became 100 years old.
Besides being active and able
to get about as he has for many
years, Tom is still able to put on

electric lires, fire fighting equip.
ment. trucks and transportation

late supplies. its trained mem
oers to 60 First Aid work. 1t
would help maintain order and
prevent pilfering and unneces-

Now is no time for lethargy.
If Browning's efforts should be
haphazard and contribute to the
