TRAFFIC SAFETY GROUP FAys

SCHOOL TEACHERS
State Police Needed For Road Pa
troll, Enforcement Chairman
Metzger Declares

With respect to the Safe Drivers
now pending In the Legislature, A.
Burton Metzger, Chairman Of the
Enforcement Committee of the
Maryland Traffic Safety Committee,
emphasized that while his Commit
tee had gone on record as advocating
such a course, they favored members
of the teaching staff as instructors
rather than State Policemen, as pro-
vided in the pending measure.
while our committee favors,
and has recommended a Drivers
Training Course in all High Schools"
Mr. Metzger said, 1--WE do not recon-
mend the use of State Policemen
to do the teaching. We are most an
xious to see the Legislature grant
an increase in the Police Personnel,
but the Committee wants the extra
policemen for Road Patrol, and not
for teaching school.
'In order that the Drivers Train
ing Course reach every high school
child, our Committee suggested that
the teaching be done by instructors
under the jurisdiction of the Boards
of Education. The Committee has
arranged that course be given at
Maryland University to qualify such
teachers.
"The present State Police person.
nel", Mr.. Metzger said, sis already
insufficient properly to patrol the
highways, and it would be unwise
to permit educational duties to be
imposed on a force of men that even
now is inadequate in number to do
efficient patrol duty"

Origin of Swing Low,

Of the origin Of the spiritual,
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" the
Negro Year Book says: "a mother
and her babe had been sold from a
Tennessee plantation to 60 down
into Mississippi, which was, to her,
going to her death. To prevent the
separation from her child, she was
about to throw herself and babe into
the Cumberland river. An old wonn-
an, seeing the mothers intentions,
laid her hand upon the shoulder of
the distressed mother and said.
Wait, let de chariot of de Lord
swing low and let me take de Lords
scroll and read it to you. The moth
er was so impressed with the words
of the old slave woman that she
gave up her design and allowed her.
self to be sold into Mississippi, leav-
ing her baby behind. The song,
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot by de-
grees grew up, as this incident
passed from mouth to mouth"

CHEVROLET FLEETLINE
ANNOUNCEMENT

Chevrolet dealers throughout the
United States are now displaying
the latest addition to that divisions
passenger car line the six-passen-
ger sedan featuring the new Fleet
line body by Fisher, presentd as
setting new high mark in luxury
comfort and style.
Mechanically, the new car IL
identical with other 1941 Special
Deluxe Chevrolets.- It has the 90
horsepower six-cylinder valve-if-
head engine, knee action, and the
famous vacuum power shift at no
extra cost. The body, however, is
entirely new. It's roominess and rich.
ness of appointment make the Fleet
line the most luxurious car ever
offered by Chevrolet.
Length and lowness characterize
the new model as viewed from the
side. TIL ebody is of the landau type
with four doors and closed rear
quarter. Doors are extra wide, q
fact which contributes both to util-
ity and to smart appearance. Rear
doors are hinged at the center pillar
like those of other four-dOor models
in the Chevrolet line; but rear-door
windows, unlike other four-door
model windows, are equipped with
ventiplanes. Hinges, both Of the
doors and of the rear deck, are Of
the concealed type.
Stainless steel moulding, along
the edge of the concealed safety
steps which replaced conventional
running boards in the 1941 Chevro-
let, and also at the belt line, accent
uate length and lowness and add
pleasing decorative note. Full
chromium reveals are used around
door windows, rear window and
windshield.
The impression of beauty and
luxury conveyed by the new cars
exterior is fully borne out in the
interior appointments and trim.
Specially-woven pin-stripe uphol-
stery is employed throughout, and
the door panels and seat-backs are
plated in manner which adds
beauty and luxury, chromium strips
being used to relieve the expanse Of
neutral-tinted fabric. Lavish use OF
woodgraining is made in interior
metal trim. Mouldings are walnut
grained, and the background Of the
ney ''Silverstyl" instrument panel Is
combination maple and burl walnut
grained. Plastics and chromium are
employed as decorative material on
the panel, where instruments and
controls are grouped for maximum
driving ease.
The new sedan with Fleetline
body incorporates in addition, the
appointments which are regular
throughout the Special Deluxe SER
les. These include robe cord on the
back of the front seat, ash recep-
tacles, lighter, retroactive assist
straps, armrests, clock and other
items.

Working on this principle, an English
inventor several years ago developed
what is known as silent dog whistle.
Only slight hiss is audible to the hui
man ear but it is apparently loud and
pleasing to dogs.
From England this new whistle has
been brought to this country. Many
have been sold at comparatively high
prices. But now, at a nominal price.
a domestic silent dog whistle that COM
pares very favorably with the English
one is available. It can be had by
sending to ST. Louis firm the coupon
that comes with the purchase from our
local Purina dealer of five pounds of his
dry food for dogs-Dog Chow, and the
nominal amount asked.
Because the new whistle is designed
to command the attention of dog up
to 200 to 300 yards, 1t Is just as useful
to hunters as it is to the man who
wishes to call his pet dog without dis
turbing the entire neighborhood. AS
one man expressed it, he can call his
dog in private when he uses his new
whistle.

HEALTH SERVICES IN THE
COUNTIES OF MARYLAND

The wide range OF the health pro-
motion and disease prevention ac-
tivities carried ON in the Counties
of Maryland through the County
Health Departments is pointed out
in report issued by DR.. r. H..
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health, of the work done in
the counties in 1910.
The activities in each county are
summarized with reference to COM
municable disease prevention. or
control; the health supervision of
mothers and children; services for
crippled children: dental care; the
sanitary supervision of food hand
ling industries; of tourists and 9TH
er camps; educational and other
services.
There were 1898 cases of mott
fable Diseases reported to the
State Department of Health from
the counties; and nearly 1900 home
visits were made by the health off,
GERS and public health nurses to dis
cover sources of infection or to es-
tAblish measures to prevent the
spread Of the diseases. Over 1900
young children were immunized
against diphtheria; $500 persons
were protected against typhoid fevel

Quoted Bible for Scheme
But Postal Laws Got Them

sTruth shall spring out of the
earth; and righteousness shall look
down from heaven. Yea, the Lord
shall give that which is good; and
our land shall yield her increase"
Psalms 85:11-12.
So wrote a little group of men,
whose headquarters are in Chicago,
on some Of their reams of circu-
lars when they were spreading the
gospel of Democracy in 1888. 1t was
one of the many ways of "explain-
ing how money sent to them would
return 30 per cent annually.
Since then their troubles included
a state court proceeding, after
which they changed the name Of
their organization. Then came a
federal injunction that resulted in
Jail sentence for one of their Off
GERS. The latest episode occurred
when a federal grand jury indicted
six of their leaders on charges of de-
frauding hundreds of persons
throughout the country of several
hundred thousand dollars.
''Never BEFORE" explained the
Plenocrats, to the reader who per-
severed, "has plan become avail
able to the people that operates in
accordance with the rules and regu-
lations as set forth in the Bible.
"The 30 per cent natural increase
annually in Democracy should not
be confused with 80 per cent interest
on money!" it was explained, "be-
cause the 30 per cent natural in
crease in Democracy is a genuine in
crease and the per cent, 10 per
cent, 20 per cent or 80 per cent on
money would be an artificial and
fictitious Increase
How were the Plenocrats to make
money?
The general idea was that they
would operate a large number Of
farms in all sections of the country.
Risk of loss would be eliminated
because of the geographic and eli
matte Investigation of the lands
that were to be operated by experts
using scientific methods that would
not fail to yield 80 per cent yearly.
The government charged, however,
that the few farms controlled were
mostly in this area, that they were
operated by managers, tenants or
former unsuccessful owners and
showed loss instead of the prom
Used gains.

to be moving with any attempt to
be quiet. He opened and shut a door.
His footsteps grew louder

"Quick, duck into the nearest

The coat which Henry grasped
for guidance almost jerked out of
his hands, pulling him to his knees.

"Hush!'
The footsteps below suddenly
stopped.

Henry and the boy huddled at
the the top of the stairs and peered
down through the railing into the
black. 1t was not quite dead black
now. There was a faint glow of red
from somewhere down the lower
hall-a glow that WaVered family,
swelling and dying away as from a

Henry waited, his heart pound

Henry stiffened. "Who's scared?

He descended with extreme care,
feeling out with one foot at a time.
1t seemed that the sound of his
clothes accidentally brushing
against the railing would be audi

The stairway curved around at
the halfway mark. Henry moved
oyer to the opposite side to get a
better angle of vision down the
lower hall. The flicker Of the candle
was just around the corner. 1t
lighted the bare walls with its wa
vering flame.
Of a sudden Henry knew that
the man who had been holding the
candle had set it down several min

man was moving! Henry heard him
slipping along the wall toward the
foot of the stairway.
Too late now to retreat. A match
