ented by the class in song, and also
a very instructive, spiritual talk CIV

FIREWORKS BILL
IS SIGNED BY
GOV. O'CONOR
Tt Prohibits Indiscriminate Use
Of Fireworks. Backed By
Those Interested In Safety
SOCIETY FOR PREVENTION
OF BLINDNESS CELEBRATE

The long discussed measure pro-
hibiting the indiscriminate use anc
sale of fireworks, as we'll as some Sc
other bills repeating various special
taxes and obsolete laws, were among
1O3 measures enacted into law this
week by Governor Herbert r. O'Con-
or.
Commenting upon the fireworks bill
in connection with the signing OF
which the Maryland Society for the
Prevention of Blindness had arranged
special ceremonies, Governor O'Conor
declared:
81 derived much satisfaction from
giving executive approval to House
Bill No. 20, thus enacting into law
the measure prohibiting the indls-
criminate use and sale of fireworks.
at was because I felt that the in
terest of public, particularly that OF
little children, demanded this restric-
ton that l placed the administration
squarely behind the Fireworks Bill,
and actively supported it in the Leg
islature. AS a result of it's passage,
l feel certain that serious accidents
marring the sight and even jeopar-
dizing the lives of children, will be-
reduced.
"The unfavorable report by the
American Medical Association, en-
phasizing the great increase in Balti-
more City of accidents causing blind
ness, was such as to challenge the
attention of US all. The humanitar-
ian aspect of this entire situation was
most appealing, and it is a source OF
qualification that the twenty year
fight to bring about this needed leg
islation has now been successful.
"The simple truth is that all the
enjoyment and pleasure, which the
people could expect, can be had I'M
der the terms of the bill, because the
supervised use of fireworks is per-
mitted. But, fortunately, proper re-
strictions surround the use and sale
of fireworks, and as result, the lives
and safety, and the sight of our peo-
pie will be better protected

of the Association, and Francis F.
Symington, Chairman of the Fire.

FIRE DESTROYS HOUSE
ON HICKORY STREET

Fire of unknown origin practically
destroyed the home of Mrs. H. T.
(Tobe) Bonneville, located on Hick-
DRY Street two blocks beyond the
Railroad crossing, on Wednesday
night, and, but for the prompt ar
rival of the firemen, may have spread
to adjoining houses.
1t is not known just how the fire
originated unless caused by defective
wiring. Mrs. Bonneville and other
members of the family had retired
when the fire was discovered by her
grandson, Bruce Bonneville, about IL
o'clock, midnight. The roof was in
flames and the upper story had ig-
nited when the firemen arrived which
was shortly after the alarm was sent
in. Their prompt response saved
nearby dwellings and some of the fur
niture was also removed from the
home by firemen and neighbors.
The home was completely wrecked;
the entire upper floor burned and on
ly the frame of the first floor was
left standing.
1t is understood there was some in
surance on the building.

NATIONAL BOYS
and GIRLS WEEK
APRIL 26-MAY 3
Observance Will Stress ImpOr.
tant Phases OF Youthful
Development

This community, along with hun
dreds of others throughout the Uni
ted States will observe National Boys
and Girls Week, April 26 to May
inclusive.
The weeks activities will stress
such important phases Of youth devel-
opment as spiritual guidance, educa-
ton, vocational training, hobbies,
citizenship, recreation, home life, and
health and safety. The main objec-
tives of the week is to focus public
attention upon boys and girls, their
problems, and their needs, with the
ultimate aim of fostering and stimu-
lating community activities directed
toward greater welfare of the young
er generation.
Major John L. Griffith, Chairman
of the National Boys and Girls Week
Committee and we'll known as Com
missioner of the "Big Ten" Athletics,
said in recent statement, 81 have
COIIlC w 4Odl1Lc HlOlC Illdu CNCA Vic
importance of proper youth training,
not only in athletics but in loyalty
and good citizenship. There are
groups in America engaged in sowing
seeds of destruction-destr of
American ideals and principles, and
Boys and Girls Week can play large
part in overcoming this type of youth
poison"
The observance of National Boys
and Girls Week had it's beginning FL
years ago when the Rotary club OF
New York City sponsored a Boys
Week. The idea spread so rapidly
that by 1926 the observance was cele-
brated throughout the United States
and Canada. The weeks program is
not confined to larger cities but is
actively participated in by thousands
of smaller communities. The result
has been a greatly increased COM
munity interest in the welfare of boys
and girls; and the work of organizing
a local observance has drawn various
community agencies together in such
a way as to make them realize the ad-
vantage of year round cooperative
effort in behalf of their boys and
girls.

VACANCIES in
ARMY DURING
SUMMER MONTHS
One Year Volunteer InductiOns
Made Through Local Selec-
tive Service Boards

Students of colleges and UNIVERSE
Ties who wish to volunteer this sum-
xer for one years training under the
Selective Training and Service Act
in order that they may be ready TO
resume their collegiate careers IN the
autumn of 1912 may be assured that
there will be ample vacancies for
them in the Army during the sum-
mer months.
That is the gist of a statement
made by 1t. Col. Henry c. Stanwooo'
State Director of Selective Service.
Colonel Stanwood's statement was
based on information from National
Headquarters of the Selective Service
system which quoted the following
letter received by National Headquar-
tiers from Secretary of War Henry
L. Stimson:
"In reply to the inquiry concern
ing the acceptance by the War De-
uartment of students who may wish
to volunteer for training next sum-
mer, the department is certain that
there will be ample vacancies in the
army during the month of June, July
August and September to accommo
date all students who desire to begir
their service during that period"
Colonel Stanwood pointed out tina
the one-year volunteer inductions arr
made through the local Selective Ser
vice boards and that anyone wishing
to volunteer for a year should pres
ent himself to his local board. Three
year enlistment, on the other hand
are under the jurisdiction of regula
Army recruiting officers.
