SNOW HILL HIGH SCHOOL
BROADCAST

dry and visited the laundry and dry
cleaning plant, Wednesday, March 26.
When we arrived we were pleasant
ly greeted and divided into four
groups. Each group had guide who
showed them around the plant. From
department to department we went,
at each finding newer and more
surprising way of operation. Some
of these were the revolving washers
and rinsers and driers. The water
that is used in them is purer than the
water that we drink. We were also
shown how every stock is darned
while in their hands.
After we had inspected everything
we went outside and there had our
pictures taken.
All of the girls were equally i'm
pressed by the workers efficiency
and capability and we all hope to go
again some time.
CELEBRATED ARTIST VISITS
SCHOOL
Last week a noted artist, Mr.. Jack
Rank, visited the school and offered
an interesting program. The anthem
ITCHY of his portrayals of Shapes
peare's characters in the great play
'The Merchant of Venice" was GER
tainly remarkable. He assumed the
role of each of the great cast of this
play and performed majestically.
Some time he employed, wit, humor, Sc
renity, occurrences of character and
then showed a quick contrast when
he took the part of Shylock or An
tonic and impersonated these with
wicked, pessimestic, egotistical and
serious personalities respectively. He
donned the elaborate costumes OF
each, including Portia.
His tact at character portrayals
simply captivated the audience
Then, too, everyone appreciated the
brilliant designs, the exquisite back.
ground setting, and the beautiful cos.
tunes.

A VISIT TO THE COUNTY JAIL

After reviewing the County Jail or
Friday of last week, / found that il
was better equipped than l had ex-
pected. Still there was room fol-
many improvements.
Upon entering the Jail, / immed-
lately perceived the smallness of it
A second glance showed the good
heating conditions, the fair lighting
arrangements. and the somewhat
cramped sleeping quarters.
One of the most essential condi-
lions for Jail or any other building
is cleanliness. Our jail was pro-
claimed, some years ago, among the
worst in Maryland. Since that time
it has been bettered considerably with
the aid of paint and disinfectants.
While talking to Mrs. Bowen at the
Jail, I learned that the total number
of prisoners now being held is IT;
6 white and II colored. Of these 8
are working, are sick and 2 are be-
ing held for court. They seem COM
paratively happy and complain little.
The food allowances are probably
the worst neglected. Originally 4Oc
was the set price for day but re-
Gently the price has been raised to
55c day. Breakfast is served at
500 A. M. The only other meal is
supper which is served at 400 P. M.
For those who are working packed
lunch is provided.
l mentioned before the smallness
of our Jail, there being only 8 cells;
A up and a down. These quarters
are very close and no adequate pro-
visions have been made for women
prisoners.
And thus I bring to close my Wis
it to our county Jail.

DROP In BRITISH
SEA LOSS SHOWN
BY ADMIRALTY

n DIICiSIl AuIillTdlCy announcement
shows a drop in Britain's sea losses
for the second successive week, while
she returns blow for blow in the bat
tie of the Atlantic.
Twenty-three British and allied
merchantmen totaling 71,773 tons
were lost in the sea war in the week
ended March 16, the Admiralty said.
Of the vessels, II were British total
ing 6O,67O tons and six were allied,
totaling 11,103 tons.
This compared with total losses of
98,832 tons the previous week and
141,314 tons the week before that.
/ The British declared that in the
same period Britain's own naval and
air raiders were sinking almost three
tons of Axis shops for every four tons
British and her allies lost.
Compared with the announced total
of 100000 tons lost to allied and neu-
trail shipping in the five weeks up to
March 16, the British said Axis loss
es in that period were 100000 tons.
This announcement gave no details
of how many Axis ships had been
sunk, but came at time when the
British had been reporting increasing
successes in bomb raids on shipping
along the continental coat.
Although German and Italian mer-
chant fleets have been swept from the
Atlantic, coastal trade is regarded by
the British as vital to the Axis war
economy.
Experts say that the Axis must
have full use of continental water
ways supplementing rail routes-in-
GLIDING coastal Mediterranean and
Baltic shipping-to feed raw mate
rails and arms to it's industries and
armies.
Much of Britain's bombing strength
has been concentrated in raids upon
shipping and rail centers, despite pop
ular demand for about bombing of
Berlin.
The Daily Express, newspaper of
Lord Beaverbrook, minister of air
craft production, reported an "im-
mense public clamor" in letters to it
for persistent bombing of the Nazi
capital.
The press exulted with black head
lines on the Sunday night bombings
- Berlin, and air correspondents said
British raids would grow heavier as
more and more new bombers and
planes from the United States came
into operation.
The Admiralty said that since the
beginning of the war the Germans
"have lost by sinking and scuttling
approximately 1,449,000 gross tons of
shipping and the Italians 100000
tons.
"In addition, they have suffered
the loss of some $4,000 tons of neu-
trail shipping under their control, or
useful to them"
(The most recent figure for Brit
ish, allied and neutral losses since
the war began was about 100000
tons.)
Axis shipping losses in the five
weeks ended March 16 were estimat-
ed by the Admiralty at "about 3OO,-
900 TONS"

Advances in Nutrition
You get an idea of the ire
mendous advances in nutrition
when you compare the soldiers
rations today with the hard
tack used 20 years ago. All the
research over the past decade is
being modified for the feeding
of our army and you may be
sure that our fighting forces are
the best fed in the world.
You need have no fear that
the German army has any nu-
tritional secrets that we do not
have. Quite a fuss has been
made over the German para
chutists' light rations of a penn
mican and candy which are
intended TO sustain them for
