WEATHER CONDITIONS DELAY
CANAL BRIDGE WORK

Mud and cold weather have been
delaying the progress of the con-
struction of the span across the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal at
st. Georges, Delaware, but we'll
beat them both, William H. Bruce,
resident engineer on the job, prom
ises.
Foundations of all the 81 piers
on the north side and all but one OF
the % piers on the south side have
been completed.
Only the foundation for the main
south pier, the one nearest the south
side of the canal, remains to be con-
structed. 1t is expected to be COM
pleted in about four weeks.
Ten piers on each side of the
canal have been entirely completed.
Phoenix Bridge Company, con-
tractors on the steel fabrication and
erection, will be on the Job in the

APPEAL TO VETERANS RENEW.
ED BY LEGION

A few weeks ago Cecil Post NO.
Is appealed to all World War veter-
ans to fill out National Defense
QUESTIONABLE. The response has
been very encouraging but the Lee
gionnaires feel that there are many
Veterans who may not have seen the
request or have delayed taking ac-
ton. They are therefore appealing
to all veterans to make an effort to
comply with this request by Satur-
day, March %, 1941. Forms are
available at the show room of w. w.
Boulder, post adjutant, Elkton, Md.
In connection with this drive, the
Legion quotes from communities
ton, to the National Commander,
bearing the signature of President
Franklin d. Roosevelt.
'The voluntary enumeration OF
World War veterans for civilian SER
vice to be conducted by the Ameri-
can Legion should provide very
real contribution to our National
Defense program.
1.-THE action of the Legion in I'M
dertaking this service, typical OF
the spirit which prevails among the
people of our country, is truly heart
ening to a government charged with
the duty of seeing that America Ia
prepared in every way to meet the
necessities of these serious times.

Children Need More Books

In many libraries in the United
States and Canada children are
reading more books this year than
last. Some librarians report that
the more interesting and engaging
type of children's books which the
publishers are now producing may
be due to the increased interest Of
young folks in reading.
Children are delving into books on
hobbies, on vocations, biographies,
pioneer stories, American history,
careers, and adventure stories.
Children like to read the thing which
touches their own experience, many
librarians report.
''The most noticeable trend in
children's reading is toward books
dealing with boys and girls in other
lands" declares Edgar S. Rob-
inson, librarian in Vancouver, B. C..
''This may or may not be refiec-
ton Of the international situation but
] think it is partly due to the num-
Der Of fine books which have ap-
peared in this field in rccert years.

Plans for the celebration OF the
founding of Kent county 800 years
ago have been announced by the
County Historical Society, which
will sponsor the tercentenary in
July, 1912.
All the Eastern Shore Counties
will be asked to join In the celebra-
tion, featuring pageant depicting
the history of the ShoreA
Chestertown's own "tea party,
which took place May IS, ITS,
when tea was thrown into the har-
Dor there from the English ship,
Geddes, will be commemorated.
DR.. Esther M. Dole, head of the
history department at Washington
College, is chairman of the commit
tee in charge of arrangements.
Reviewing the history of the coun-
ty to be covered in the pageant, DR..
Dole pointed out that In its earliest
days all of the Western Shore was
known as the Isle of Mary's" and
all the Eastern Shore as the Isle
of Kent.
During the first years of the
province the seat of government of
the Eastern Shore was on Kent Is
land and it was known as "hun-
dred of st. Mary's," DR.. Dole said.
1.-THE Isle of Kent was not a
county at first, according to the
Maryland Archives but was to re-
main hundred of st. Mary's until
such time as county should be
erected on the Eastern shore and

been sent to county officials, civic
clubs, service clubs, public and pri-
vate schools, fire companies, church.

TWENTY-ONE DRAFT DELIN.
QUENTS SOUGHT

Warrants for the apprehension of
81 draft delinquents on the East
ern Shore of Maryland were drawn
up and signed by U. S. Commission
err Lewis G. Merryman, at Salisbury.
Eleven of the tardy registrants
are from Wicomico county's two
draft boards. The others are wanted
by draft boards at Snow Hill, Gen.
treville, Denton, Cambridge, Easton
and Chestertown. All but one are
negroes.
The warrants, drawn upon COM
plant of Federal Bureau of Investi-
cation Agent Hubert s. White, will
be turned over to U. s. Deputy Mar
shall Ralph w. Powell.
Most of the delinquents are charg-
ed with failure to complete and re-
turn their missionaries, failure to
give correct address, failure to mott
fly of change of address, giving false
address and failure to reply to all
communications of their local
boards.

Big League Games Indoors

Huge sports stadia Of the future
in which major league baseball
teams will play under roofs and with
indirect lighting, rain or shine, are
predicted by Robert j. Swackham-
err, G-E engineer. Such stadia
might be built in the next 10 or Is
years, he believes.
Admitting that the idea seems
radical, Mr.. Swackhamer points out
that baseball was scoffed at in the
early stages of its development at
Lynn, Mass, but now might baseball
is being played by rs per cent of the
clubs in organized baseball. Swack-
hamer, who designed the lighting
for the fields of the Cincinnati Reds,
Brooklyn Dodgers, and Cleveland
Indians, recalled how his proposal
of night ball in the majors was rid
iculed at one time.
The indirect illumination Of such
stadia probably would be accom-
plished by projecting the light, from
concealed locat ons bc,ow the roof,
to the ceiling Of the stad UNI where
it would be nc .cesel downward 10

Results Of experiments at the Purina
Experimental Farm show that a COW
may consistently produce Is pounds OF
milk per milking on one ration and 16
on another. Although that extra pound
is only pint more and hardly shows
In the pail, it really does add up to
quite sum.
This is the way it figures. If a COW
is fed 10 pounds of dairy ration each
day and milks 80 pounds of milk daily,
that means pretty fair return on the
feed she eats, If milk is sold at $500
per hundred weight However, If she
Is fed the same amount of better feed
and gives one pint more each milking,
that feed Is worth two cents more per
milking or four cents more per day.
In other words, the better feed is worth
four cents more for each ten pounds,
forty cents more per hundred, or eight
dollars more per ton. An extra pint
more per milking does make a differ

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES
Reality will be the subject of
the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches
of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday,
March 80.
The Golden Text will be from
jeremiah 51:10: "The Lord hath
brought forth our righteousness
come, and let us declare in Zion the
work of the Lord our God"
Among the citations comprising
the Lesson-Sermon will be the fol-

when Jesus saw their faith, he
said unto the sick of the palsy, Son,
thy sins be forgiven thee"
The Lesson-Sermon also will in

by Mary Baker Eddy, among which
is the following, page 418, "Truth
is affirmative, and confers harmony.

ence.
While 1t is hard to tell whether there
are Is or Is pounds of milk in a milk
pail, it's still harder to tell by just look
ing at a feed whether it will produce
is or 16 pounds of milk. Two feeds
that look alike may produce entirely
different results when fed to the cow.
1t all depends on the ingredients in the
feed their quality, and how they are
blended.
EDITORS MORE: Our local Purina feed
dealer has checkerboard dairy ra-
tons to be fed straight with home
grown roughage. He also has checker
board dairy concentrates to be mixed
with home grown grains to make up
dairy rations that are fed with home
grown roughages. He will be happy to
advise cow owners how to feed their
herds to the best advantage, using as
much of their home grown feed as pos
sible.

trollable" items include the Gen
eral Fund appropriations as well as
the Bond Issue for new construc-
ton, which, together will total
$4S, 10000 for 1942-43, as
against the 1887 appropriations OF

The Special Fund" appropria-
tions, which make up the remainder
of the Budget, Governor O'Conor
made clear, are dedicated by law to
certain uses, and the Governor has
little jurisdiction over this expendi-
ture.
That the savings of 1887 might
be we'll in excess of $4,000 was
indicated by Governor O'Conor when
he declared that "It is thought
that 100000 more can be eliminate
ed from the present budget, and IL
the Senate Finance Committee finds
other reductions justiflable, the
1941 total can be pared down con-
siderably more.
while 1T is evident that we are

the Governor declared, IT do not
wish to be understood as urging
against any futher decreases which
can be made without impairment to

The Governor further explained
that he plans for periodic review

still further the sum total which can
be done by impounding any funds
not found to be necessary"

TO HONOR MEMORY OF PRESI-
DENT BUCHANAN

Members of the Buchanan Foun-
dation of Lancaster are planning
an observance of the 150th anniver-
sary of the birth of James Buchan-
an, only native of Pennsylvania to
become President of the United
States.
More than 1900 persons visited
Wheatland, the Buchanan Home
stead in Lancaster during 1910 and,
according to member of the Buch-
anan Foundation, many more are
expected this year especially because
of the celebration scheduled for
April 23 for which plans have not
yet been completed.
Born in 1871, at Stony Batter,
near Mercersburg, in Franklin
County, Buchanan had a brilliant
career as Senator, Secretary of
State under President Polk, Minis
ter to Russia and Ambassador to
the Court of st. James. At the age
of Sc he became President of the
United States at most critical time
in it's history-when the country
was advancing towar DEVIL conflict.
James Buchanan spent his declin-
ing years at Wheatland with his
niece, Harriet Lane Johnson who
was also with him in the White
House. The Lancaster home of
"The Sage of Wheatland", as Buch-
anan was called, has been preserved
and refurnished with some of the
original pieces. 1t is a mecca for
Pennsylvanians and American stu
dents of history and politics.

HOGAN BLAzES
 HOT TRAIL WITH
 BORROWED CLUB
GOggin's Putter Helps Tex an Get 67; GuldahI Gets
 on Bulla's Nerves
BY HARRY FERGUSON Limited Press Sports Efit0rl

Asheville, N. O., March 20.-(UP) The field in the land of the sky open golf tournament starts of to- day in pursuit of little Benny Hogan, who borrowed Q butter and turned 1t into 8 to:ch to burn up the Biltmore Forest Country club course.
 Four strokes ahead of his near est competitors as the 72-hole tour nament goes into its second 18 hole round, Hogan blazed @ four-under- par @ yesterday and gained a big bulge on the 90 amateurs and pros who are competing for the $5,000 prize money. He ddd 1t by using a butter he borrowed from a fellow professional, Willie Goggin, and 1t was the greatest loan Hogan ever received. He curled them in from all angles, roared up the back nine In 3l and capped of a great day by dropping & twisting 25-footer on the 18th green for @ birdie three.
 Lawson Little, National Open champion, and Sam Byrd, the form- CT baseball player, were the only other contestants who could match the par of 71 over @ course whose fairways were heavy with rain. Sur prisingly enough, the greens einerg- ed from the rain slick and tricky and butts were sliding five and 10 feet past the cups all day.
 Bulla Quits
 It Is too early to pick the win ner in this tournament but 1t Is easy to pick one of the losers. That would be Johnny Bulla, who picked up yesterday because Ralph Gull dahl, playing in his threesome, shot such @ cautious, deliberate round that the slow pace finally got Johnny down.
 After he lifted himself out of the tournament Bulla said: Even If I'm leading the field by 10 strokes at the end of 36 holes and they pair me with Guldahl in the final, I'll quit. Picking up is the worst thing you can do in Q golf tournament and I'll catch hell for 1t, but I just can't play with that guy. He plays too slow"
 Plenty of top Tight golfers stdll are within striking distance of the $l,200 first money. Ky Laffoon stands at 72 nd Ray Mangrum and Leonard DodEon are ct 73. At "A are John Palmer, c dark horse from Baden, N. O., Joe Kirkwood, Jr.; Felix serafln: Leon Walper, Horton Smith, Frank Walsh, Al Brosch, Jimmy Hines, Byron Nelson, Jimmy Thompson and duldahl.
 The 75 shooters are Tony Manero, Clayton Heafner, Sam snead, Lloyd Mangrurn and Vic 0hezzi.
