Tiny Soph Is Hero

NORTHUMBERLAND
BY LEO FISCHER

MINNEAPOLIS, Nov. Little
Bud Higgins was a giant among
giants here today as Minnesota Is
great football machine rolled re-
lentiessly on towards another ma
tional title with an s 70 Z victory
over an amazingly good North
western team.
Five feet nine inches tall and
shown in the program at 155
pounds (his teammates tell you
confidentially that he scales only
140), the flying feet of the midget
sophomore turned the tide of battle
after those traditional Gopher be-
hemoths had failed TO bulge a
battling Wildcat squad.
Higgins took matters into his
own hands early in the third quar-
ter, after Northwestern had over
come the heartbreak of a safety
and cancelled touchdown TO take
a z to 2 lead with 50 seconds re-
naming in the first half. Starting
Al yards away from the goal, Hig-
gins wormed his way through the
line of scrimmage. scampered off
TO the side and outran the entire
Wildcat team for the six points
that won the game.

Beaten at every turn, the Cecil
County senator fought to the very
end, but his defense against the bill
outlawing the sale of fireworks in
Maryland turned into rout in the
closing minutes of the fight.

$1O6, 963,772 State Budget Passed
By General Assembly
Became Law Saturday Observation-Disclosures
Forces Heave Sigh OF Relief

Maryland's 1942-43 budget, en-
bodying appropriations for expen-
ditures Of $1O6,963,772, became
law shortly after o'clock Saturday
afternoon.
While Administration forces let
go an earnest sigh of relief, the
Senate found itself victim of an in
advertancy that resulted not only
in elimination Of appropriations for
installation and opertion of a tele-
type system by the State police, but
left the department without eigh-
teen additional officers that the SEN
ators thought 1t would get In place
Of the teletype.
Actually, the budget carries APP
preparations Of $107,163,772, but
this figure is to be reduced by $780,
900 during the biennium by the
Board Of Public Works.
An amendment to the budget en-
powers the Board of Public Works
composed of the Governor, the State
Comptroller and Treasurer-to cut
from departmental appropriations
the sum Of 100000 year, the re-
auctions to be made where the board
believes they will do the least harm.
When introduced in the General
Assembly by Governor O'Conor in
January, the budget carried appro-
priations amounting to $106,664,021
A supplemental budget making d.

rect appropriations raised this by
! $303,954. Then there were two con.
tingent appropriation amendments
stotaling $633,S4S, and the Legisla.
ture increased its own budget by
$19,899.
Meanwhile, the budget of the De.
partment of Public Welfare was re-
duced by $216,O0O by Governor
O'Conor, who directed that this cut
be made in administration costs.
The Senate followed up with
another $780, 900 slash and left it to
officials of the Department of Wei
fare as to where the cut would be
imposed.
BY reducing the proposed con-
struction loan bond issue more than
$2,000,00O, a saving in the amount
needed to service the State debt was
made to the extent Of $41,950.
This reduced the net budget to
$106,963,772 or to $107, 163,772 in
Guiding the 100000 to be Topped
off by the Board Of Public Works.
The total budget, including the
$4,172,0OO bond issue originally
suggested, was $110,836,021 when
introduced by the Governor. In its
revised form, as adopted, it calls fol
a total Of $109,189,772, including
the revised bond-issue bill of 3d..
$4,000.

MAY ADD YEAR TO
SCHOOL SYSTEM
Plans Discussed AT Meet
ing OF The County
superintendent

AT meeting OF County Superin-
tendents of Public Schools in Balti-
more recently, plans were discussed
for a. reorganization of the state
wide public school system. A special
committee is working on q plan Of
Junior High School. adding another
year to the school system. This
plan has been reported to the Gem
eral Assembly.
During the 1899 session of Mary.
land General Assembly, the Mary
land Congress of Parents and Teach
ers investigated movement to have
the Legislature authorize the State
Board of Education to add another
years work to the present secondary
school system, making the time re-
quired for graduation IL years in
stead Of eleven. The State Board OF
Education, realizing the implications
involved in any such change, as well
as the vast amount of money which
would have to be expended, succeed
ed in getting the Maryland Congress
to withhold their actions along this
line until such time as survey
of the State School System could be
made by nationally known educa-
tional experts, so that their findings
could be used as basis for any
change in the system.
Governor O'Conor appointed this
survey commission during the late
spring of 1910, and they have COM
pleted survey of the State School
System and are now finishing re-
port which will be submitted to the
General Assembly session in its pres
ent meeting.
"The Survey Commission is rec.
ommending the extra years as sugr
gested by the Maryland Congress
of Parents and Teachers, but along
with this recommendation 1t is ask
ing authorization for the State De-
partment of Education to approve
the reorganization Of the State
School System on the following bas-
is: Elementary School: Grades to
s; Junior High Shcool: Grades to
8; Senior High School: Grades To-
to IL.
At the present time all except
three of the counties of Maryland
are organized on the seven-four bas-
is. The other three are operating ON
the eight-four system.
when this recommendation be-
comes law the State Department of
Education will provide for addi-
tional money in the budget to pay
the States share of the new pro-
gram. This means that in two years.
time the three counties which have
been operating on twelve-year sys-
tenn will begin receiving state aid.
AS the other counties make pro-
visions they will be helping to pay
for the maintenance of the twelve
year-system in other counties while
they are enjoying only the eleven
grades.
ITO make provisions to meet the
new program each county will have
to make study of it's own situation
and submit it's findings and plans to
a committee of the State Board Of
Education for approval"

Over the opposition of group led
by Senator James J. Lindsay (Dem.,

Saturday passed bill designed to
tighten the forty-eight-hour mar
riage law and take Elkton out Of the
Gretna Green category.
The measure was introduced by
Senator Wilmer Fell Davis (Rep.,
Caroline) and provides that judges
may not waive the forty-eight-hour
waiting period for any reason what
so-ever unless one or both Of the
parties planning marriage are Mary
land residents.
The effect, Senator Davis says,
will be to keep out of Elkton the
food of out-of-State couples who
come to Maryland to get married be-
cause the laws at home are more
stringent.
Senator Davis pointed out that
the voters at the last election, after
the Elkton taxicab companies and
marrying parsons" had petitioned
for referendum, approved the
forty-eight-hour law.
"The law the people wanted was
soon circumvented" he said. "The
bill now before you will make the
forty-eight-hour law a forty-eight-
hour law.
The measure was passed on third
