suit of advancing years is one that
must be destroyed. Mortal mind may
argue that we are beyond the age
when we can be of use in business,
or, at best, that our opportunities to
engage in lucrative employment are
limited. Does God manifest failing
faculties or other infirmities? No;
that is unthinkable. Then man, His
image and likeness, cannot be ham,
pered by beliefs of age. -.
Sometimes we may be tempted to
think that we have been wrongfully
forced out of our place, to make way
for some one else, and resentment
and self-pity may try to control us.
In the only real universe, the spiri-
tual realm, there is no taking from
one to give to another. Each of us
has his work to do here and now, and
that work is the daily endeavor to
demonstrate mans oneness with God
and to manifest the abundance Of
good which God has bestowed upon
all of His sons.

cause this is a Democracy, you and I
are the Government as we'll as the
people of America, and our country
will continue to be the land of the
free only as long as we safeguard
with our lives, if necessary, the prin-
ciples upon which this Government
was founded.
"Here in Maryland, the ideals of
liberty have been so much a part and
parcel of our existence, the tenets
of complete individual freedom have
been so entwined in all the laws and
history of our State, that it would
be absolutely unthinkable for US, as
Marylanders, to consider yielding any
part of those priceless liberties at the
behest of a conquest-maddened Die
tator. Three hundred years and
more have not altered or lessened the
spirit brought to our land by the first
Maryland Pilgrims, spirit that sur
vived the war of the Revolution; that
displayed itself at the Annapolis Tea
Party with the burning of the Peggy
Stewart, and that was written into
unquenchable song at the lombard
ment of Fort McHenry, in the writ
ing of the Star Spangled Banner.
"That this same spirit permeates
our people today, there can be no
question. Every true Marylander
looks with horror at the condition of
the over-run countries of Europe to-
day. Every true Marylander can be
counted upon to give his all to ward
off from our country, and from our
beloved shore of Maryland, the fate
that has overtaken the conquered peo-

sion current in our language that is
intended to convey the idea of grit,
bravery, courage, or some kindred
idea. The word is not a thing of
beauty nor joy forever. Indeed,
it is rather repulsive. Whenever I
use it round the house, I am bound
to hear from headquarters, and
threatened with deprivation of my
supper if the offensive term is repeat
ed. I quit right away.
That word is Cuts. You see, it
visualizes hog-killing time; or the
cook in the kitchen drawing" a
fowl; or a buzzard's feast on a car
cass in the open fields; or a "stiff"
on the dissecting table of a medical
institution; or anything else more or
less disgusting. Just why that word
should be used to indicate very de-
sirable element in mans moral con-
stitution, is rather curious.
But, here comes the linguist's eu-
phemism. He relieves the tongue
from uttering the malodorous word
and substitutes therfor two delight
fully sonorous and enticing specimens
of the dictionary contents. We no
longer say, "Guts", we have glorified
the word by combination of two
and now it's no longer the horrid
thing, but it's Intestinal fortitude,"
by all that's good and holy.
You know, 1 wish somebody would
invent euphemism for damn, so
I could use it oftener.

TRAFFIC SUPPLY
COMMISSIONERS
OFFICIAL STATUS
Governor O'COnOr Approves
Senate Bill Giving RecOg-
milton After Two Years

After nearly two years of semi
official activities, the Maryland Traf-
fic Safety Commission has been given
official status as a result of the ap-
prevail by Governor Herbert r. O'Con
or Of Chapter 274, Senate Bill No.
376. This Commission, composed of
individuals from Baltimore City and
all the Counties is charged with the
reduction of traffic accidents on the
street and highways of the State.
The new law establishes a Depart
ment through which all other State
Departments can coordinate their eff
forts in matters pertaining to Traf
fic Safety. The Department also is
empowered to work with the other
forty-seven states, and with the lar
ger cities of the country, in the in
terchange of ideas relating to safe
motor vehicle traffic.
Coincident with the establishment
of the Commission, three other meas
ures were signed by the Governor
which were sponsored by the Traffic
Safety Commission in the interest of
Safety.
Chapter 351, Senate Bill No. 357,
compels motorists obedience to traf-
fic control devices. Through an over
sight, Maryland has never had law
compelling motorists to obey traf-
fic signals. This fact was discovered
shortly after the Governor appointed
his first Safety Committee, and be-
cause of it's Importance, this Com
mittee made the present law one of
their first orders of business. Thru
the successful passage of this Bill,
Maryland is now assured that the
States investment in traffic signals
is protected.
Another Safety measure was Chap
ter 423, House Bill No. 103, to COM
pei motorists to lower the beam of
their headlights when approaching
other vehicles on the road. It has
long been recognized that one of the
great dangers in night motoring was
glazing headlights, which often blind
ed motorists and forced them off the
roads. It now becomes mandatory
for motorist to lower his headlight
beam under this new law, and it is
felt that much safer motoring will
result from this legislation.
Another bill having to do with
motor vehicles became law when the
Governor signed Chapter 1854, Sen
ate Bill 366, which permits the State
Police to enter an incorporated town
or city when in pursuit of violator
of the motor vehicle laws.
