Mrs. Shears clearly outlined the
other day.
Two Main Objectives
Explained by Mrs. Shears.
She said through the counsel and
advice of the heads of the different
defense organizations they had been
able to formulate working plans
for their two main projects-one
Of which they consider vital to the
welfare of all Americans at the
present time: A campaign of in
formed public opinion against
propaganda and subversive in
flucnces. Every two weeks they
have an information hour, at
which some Government leader is
asked to speak.
The second project is active serv-
ice to enlisted men who come on
leave to Washington. This they
are carrying out in connection with
the Womans Army and Navy
League.
The club has taken the RESPONSE
bility of equipping a canteen which
will provide 24-hour service at
the Soldiers, Sailors and Marines
clubhouse where many enlisted
men In town over the weekend or
over night find warm welcome,
dancing partners and varied amuse-
ment. The club has been active in
helping the Navy League raise S.
600 to enlarge the clubhouse.
Mrs Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Is lending her active assistance as
a member of the committee, having
had much practical experience in
the great war when she gave from
five to seven days a week to canteen
work. Mrs. John Allan Dougherty

Opposition To
Restriction OF
Truck Vehicles

When our defense program actual
ly gets into full swing by early 1912.
every transportation facility in the
country will be swamped. We have
already had some examples in the
matter of inadequate pipelines for Pc
troleum products and we are going to
have more of them when the huge
flood of raw materials and finished
products is actually on the move.
There has been talk of restricting
materials necessary for the manufac-
ture of commercial vehicles. It can be
demonstrated that at this particular
stage of our progress, steel for trucks
is even more necessary than for bat
tleships. All of the productive facili-
ties in the country are useless if we
do not have corresponding volume
of transportation equipment which
can feed raw materials to our plants
and take away their finished products.
Equally important is the fact that
in order to finance the huge arma-
ment program, other non-military in
dustries must also be kept on the
move. The defense program cannot
feed upon itself. It must live upon
the taxes derived from other indus
tries. These other industries require
transportation just as much as the
defense industry does. If you deprive
these industries of their transporta-
ton, the defense program is deprived
of the money required to finance it.
There must be no shortsighted pol
icy which would hamper transporta-
ton in its need for materials for the

.$5O,OOO,OOO A YEAR
TO EDUCATE U.S.. YOUTH

Students in United States Colleges,
universities and professional schools
help meet their expenses through
scholarships, loans, or wages for part
time work totaling more than $780,
100000 a year, according to a bulle-
tin, Financial Aids for College Stud
ents," just published by the U. s.
Office of Education. This is an aver
age well above $55 per student.
The report which shows how Ameri-
can institutions help worthy students
gain a college education is made up
from figures received by the National
Youth Administration from colleges
and universities cooperating in its
student aid program. It includes l.
387 institutions of higher education
listed in the Educational Directory of
the u. S. Office of Education.

construction of more vehicles to han
die our rapidly expanding tonnage of
defense and non-defense goods. Look
ing at the subject in broad way,
there is no such thing as non-defense
materials at this moment. There is
not an item which, through the taxes
imposed on it, does not carry it's share
of the defense burden. Now is the
time to build ever-increasing trans
portation capacities. Let US not at
tempt to gage what is coming by cur
rent demand. If we do, we will fall
so far short of the mark on our re-
quirements that we will actually be
throttling the very dominance which
we propose to acquire.

RESORT BRIDGE
DRIVES LAST OF
THE BIG PILINC

Another milestone towards the
completion of Ocean City's new $780,
O11.OO four-lane State highway bridge
across the Sinepuxent Bay was reach
ed this week when giant Acton
driver hammered the last of 337 mas
sive concrete piling into place.
Previously, a total of $50 creasoted
piling have been driven into the bay
bottom, which together with the So
foot-long concrete supports, comprise
the foundation for the steel and con-
crete bridge over its entire 2,295-foot
extension from Ocean City to Wor-
cester County mainland.
The $846,O11.OO Ocean City bridge
is the major link of a $1,251 $4,000
bridge and approach project which
the State Roads Commission of Mary
land is having constructed. The high
way approach project, costing $4O5,-
829.55, calling for dual highway
from the new bridge westward for
1.65 miles to Herring Creek, is also
under way.
Officials of the Tidewater Construc-
ton Company of Norfolk, Va, con-
tracing firm on the bridge estimated
that the span would be completed by
November l, 1941. Bridge decking
is around fifty-eight percent complet-
ed, they said.
The new Ocean City highway
bridge, started May of 1910, is To-
Gated six city blocks north of the
present highway span at Worcester
street, which was completed back in
1918.
Upon completion the new bridge
will have a roadway 46 feet wide, with
five-foot sidewalks on either side. A
draw is being built at its Ocean City
terminus to permit passage of boats.

PROFICIENCY OF
THE BOY SCOUT
NOT ACCIDENTAL

The proficiency that Boy Scouts
show when they are called upon unex-
pectedly to save lives, deliver Thanks
giving baskets, direct traffic, hunt for
lost children, or serve along the line
of march in parades is not accidental.
The Scouting program is designed
specifically to make better citizens of
ordinary boys and leaders believe that
the best way to do that is to practice
the Scout motto, "Be Prepared" until
it becomes part of the boys lives.
In the matter of first aid and life
saving, for instance, training starts
almost as soon as the 12-year-old is
enrolled. To advance from Tender
foot rank he must learn the rudiments
of bandaging and treatment; by the
time he becomes a full-fledged First
Glass Scout he is reasonably expert
in artificial respiration, transporta-
ton of the injured and what to DO
until the doctor arrives" From that
point he goes on to earn Merit Bad
ges in advanced first aid, life saving,
swimming and more than 100 other
equally useful subjects.
Because of this emphasis on serving
the community in every way possible,
the Boy Scout Movement in the 30
years of its history has prepared some
10000 boys and men for emergen-
cy service. The field is far broader
than first aid. Frequent camping
and hiking trips into the woods give
Scouts a feeling of self-reliance that
is invaluable in the pinches. AS a
part of his Scout experience the Scout
also learns how to take charge of un-
organized or panicky crowds. And the
constant stress on Amerlcanlsm
makes him an excellent model for
more adult citizens.
Because of their tradition of SER
vice, Boy Scouts during the World
War were able to perform hundreds
of useful tasks. In addition to selling
$147,OOO,OO0 worth of Liberty Bonds,
Scouts collected more than 100 car
loads of fruit pits for gas masks, and
located 100000 board feet of wal
nut for the infant aviation industry.
Parallel to the current national de-
tense program, the Boy Scouts are
launching their own drive to prepare
themselves to help the government.
Each neighborhood Troop is working
to build up it's membership to the full
quota of so Scouts, and to acquire
such equipment as ropes, bandages,
axes and lanterns for use in an emer-
gency. Plans for quick mobilization
both with and without the aid of
telephones being worked out and
practiced. Individually and in "Pa-
trolls" the Scouts are striving to be-
come intimately acquainted with their
home communities. In many places,
Emergency Service Corps have al
ready been formed from the ranks of
older Scouts. Their job is to be pre-
pared to do the more involved or
difficult work for which younger boys
are not yet equipped.
The national program has an inter-
national aspect, too. Among recent
arrivals from beleaguered European
nations have been many Boy Scouts.
These lads almost invariably want to
become associated with American
Troops, and arrangements have been
made to welcome them.

circumstances. For instance, the
German radio, as heard in this
country by N. B. c.. said the dis
aster on the southern front was
due to change OF weather
which rendered useless the
mechanical might of the Ger
man Army" There might easily
be something to that, though it
wasn't explained what effect the
weather had on the Russian
mechanical forces.
Undoubtedly the near Arctic
conditions on much OF the
Soviet front have played a con-
siderable part in the Nazi difi-
culties. The Russians report
that even in the milder south
they are finding the frozen bodies
of German soldiers. indicating a
lack of preparedness for such
weather. Supplies must be COM
ing up slowly through the snow
drifts along the attenuated lines
of communication. In this con-
nection one wonders whether
abandonment of many Nazi
tanks means gasoline supplies
have failed.
Germans Need \ Victory.
However. the Hitlerites have
made many of their own troubles
by taking huge chances at vari-
Gus places in an effort to achieve
some worth while victory-almost
any kind Of triumph, either moral
or strategical. They need such a
victory both for home consump-
ton and for the effect abroad.
especially in view of the critical
position OF their relations with
France and Japan.
The Reds have been taking
advantage OF these desperate
German thrusts. And from the
Allied viewpoint perhaps the
most encouraging aspect of the
whole show is that the Bolshe-
visits have shown the recuper-
atixsr strength for a comeback.
T have been asked whether
there is any chance that the Rus
slams might be able to stage

Nazis right back into Germany.
One wouldn't expect an offensive
on a grand scale before spring.
The transition from defense to
offenSe in the face Of q Russian
winter would be too difficult, es-
pecially in view OF the Red losses.
However. the present display
does give the Allies strong hope
for the coming OF good weather.
Then a great Allied offensive may
be launched from Russian ter
ritory.
Meantime the Germans are
taking the first licking they have
had since the European war be-
gan. They appear to have
reached the apex OF their power
and to have started down hill. 1t
will be interesting to see what the
effect will be at home and abroad.
