sIxTY-DAY DUCK HUNTING LAW

A 6O-day duck hunting season
was proclaimed by Secretary of the
Interior Ickes, starting November 2
in Southern States. Maryland is in
cluded in the Southern classiifica-
ton.
In Issuing 1941 regulations for
hunting migratory game birds,
Ickes left unchanged the 6O-day
season and the 10-a-day bag limit of
last year, retained the prohibition
against use of bait or live decoys
but added a clause forbidding the
taking of water fowl by using cattle,
horses or mules as blinds.
AS in recent years, hunters must
plug repeating and automatic shot
guns to a limit of three shells and
must not use guns larger than 10
gauge. Hunting with bows and ar
rows is still permissible. Shooting
hours remain the same, sunrise to
p. m.
A drastic reduction was ordered
in the shooting season for mourning
doves, because, Ickes said, the num-
Der of these birds was found to be
decidedly unsatisfactory" Whereas
the season in some areas ran as long
as seventy-seven days, this years
season was reduced to a maximum
of forty-two days.
Other major changes from last
year included:
A closed season on Wilson snipe,
commonly known as jacksnipe.
A ten-a-day limit on canvasback
and ruddy ducks, formerly limited
to three a day.

The portrait of Gonzalo de Que
sada, Cuban patriot, author and dip
lomat, is introduced to philately on
Cuba's commemorative issue mark

early efforts to bind the republics
of the Western hemisphere more
closely together, attended three Pan
American conferences. He was Sec
rotary to Argentina's delegate in
the 1890 conference of American
states, where the Pan American I'M
ion was born, was Cuba's delegate

TEACHERS WARNED NOT TO
STRAY

Exchange of secondary school
teachers between the United States
and the other American Republics is
limited at the present time, John w.
Studebaker, U. S. Commissioner of
Education, announced recently. He
puts crimp in this idea of exchang-
ing teachers. Sat the present time
no general interchange Of secondary
school teachers between the United
States and the other American Re-
publics appears to be feasible, he
says, and cautions that program of
exchanges Should and will take
place i'm the future, but these ex-
changes will need to be worked out
carefully beforehand by the proper
authorities in the United States and
in the other Republics. He adds:
Until such time as plan can be
worked out and announced, teachers
both in the United States and in the
other Republics should know that
such opportunities are quite limit
ed.

WoMEN's STOCKINGS

To wear or not to wear! That
question has been met by thousands
of women in every city in the nation
who have stood in line in the prin-
cipal stores in the country waiting
to buy silk stockings. The excite
ment in the National Capital was
second only to the alleged shortage
of gasoline. The women of Washing
ton were no different from the wom-
en- of other cities in their willing
ness to contribute their pots, pans
and kettles to the LaGuardia alum
mum collections.
Our women have all gone right to
bat on every proposition of the war,
but if there was any differences of
opinion among them it was all
wiped out by the closing of the silk
mills. And now there are "runs' in
stockings.

ELIMINATING FRAUDULENT
CLAIMS
CLAIMS

Continuing its efforts to elm
mate fraudulent claims for unem-
ployment benefits the Maryland
Unemployment Compensation Board
has recently brought about the sem
fencing of another offender for a
two-months' term in the Dorches-
ter County Jail. The offender in this
case undertook to collect benefits
while he was regularly employed.
1.-THE law covering such offense is
plain, declared S. C. Cromwell,
Director of the Boards Unemploy-
ment Compensation Division, land
every effort is promptly made to put
the offender behind the bars---where
considerable number have already
landed.
Through systematic work the
Board has recovered more than
$4,000 paid on claims irregularly
or unlawfully presented and action
along this line proceeds steadily.
Overpayments of benefits have oc-
cassionally been made through error
and these are corrected as speedily
as possible, but most important of
all, Mr. Cromwell said, is the prose-
cution of those who try to make a
racket of the unemployment COM
pensation system.

CARE IN HANDLING HIGHWAY
ACCIDENTS URGED

The Keystone Automobile Club,
upon request of hospital authorities,
has re-issued bulletin urging
motorists who are inexperienced in
first aid methods to be extremely
careful in the handling of highway
accident victims.
Well-intentioned motorists, it is
pointed out, often aggravate injuries
in their laudible, but unskilled, eff
forts to render assistance.
The best practise, according to
medical authorities, is, in the case
of broken bones, to make the patient
as comfortable as possible at the
scene of the accident and await the
arrival of doctor or ambulance. In
cases of bleeding, the Good Samar-
itins" should apply a tourniquet be-
fore taking patient to a hospital
"The natural impulse of those
who are first to reach highway acct
dent victims is to get the patients to
hospital or doctor with utmost
haste, said Edward P. Curran, Key
stone Safety Director. However, the
well-intentioned motorist may, by
inexperienced handling, change a
simple fracture of arm or leg into a
more serious injury. In frenzied
haste to reach doctor or hospital,
improvised ambulances frequently
are involved in accidents through
disregard of traffic regulations, in
some cases causing additional injury
or even death to the original vic
Tins.
sit is important, therefore, that
utmost care be taken both in the
handling of the injured and in trans
porting them from scene of accident
Lives can be saved and injuries
minimized if proper precautions are
observed"

BACK TO SCHOOL

Summer play days are almost
over. Our public schools in the coun-
ty reopen on Wednesday next. Some
boys and girls may not like the rou-
tine, but the vast majority accept
school with an eager spirit, con-
WINGED by their parents that educa-
ton after all opens the door OF OPP
portunity and offers better and
happier way to life for those who
take advantage of it.
Increased enrolment in the
schools here and in other communi-
ties throughout the county and
State, as we'll as the nation as a
whole, augurs well for the future.
For through education alone can our
nation hope to attain its high des-
tiny and bring to all it's citizens the
complete and satisfactory life.
There are those, of course, who
point the finger of cautic criticism at
our present day education. They tell
us that students fritter away their
time i'm non-essentials, that they are
more interested in sports than in
studies, that activities and play
dominate the thought of the school.
They tell us that high school and
college students are superficial, that
they are not taught to think for
themselves, that education is a
colossal waste.
No doubt these people can find
incidents and conditions to support
their arguments, but still we do not
agree. The American people as a
whole have not fallen for any of the
strange decisions that disturb the
rest of the world, they have retain
ed their fundamental institutions
and they have acted with good judg-
ment in every severe crisis. In ex-
planning this some credit should be
given to the American system OF
universal education.
If the need for education has
been pronounced from the time
when our Republic was founded, the
need is far greater today. Modern
society presents multitude OF
perplexing problems and situations
which can be solved only by lit
crate and intelligent citizenry.
In spite of all its short comings,
therefore, we must recognize both
the vital service rendered and the
great future promise offered by a
system which grants to every child
the right to a thorough intellectual
training.

LACK OF SCHOOLS In HARTFORD
COUNTY

More than 1000 defense workers
children will be barred from Har-
ford county public school this fall
because of inadequate facilities, p.
T. Baker, president of the Board of
School Commissioners, states.
Even approval of request for
$4,000 i'm Federal funds with
which to construct new county
schools will not make space avail
able for the children, he stated. The
new schools, he pointed out, would
not be completed until fall of next
year.
The children who face a year
without schooling are the sons and
daughters of defense workers NOV
ing into three housing developments
at Havre de Grace, Aberdeen and
Edgewood.

REGULATING INSTALLMENT
BUYING

The Federal Reserve System has
been ordered by the President to
investigate, regulate and prohib
it, installment buying and install
ment loans, Chairman Mariner S.
Eccles is given power to regulate
terms of consumer credit. Eccles in
dicates that the order will "dampen
the demand" for automobiles, re-
frigerators, vacuum cleaners, washing
machines, ironers and other goods
Household furniture ranks second
in the amount of sales made on the
installment plan.
The principal reason assigned for
this ban on installment sales is to
escape imitation. The President says
his order will help National Defense,
curb price advances and profiteering,
promote the accumulation of saw
ings, and create backlog of de-
mand for consumers durable goods.
Mr.. Eccles now seeks to put a
crimp in installment sales of auto
mobiles, while another official Leon
Henderson, proposes to cut down
the production of motor cars 20 per
cent to so per cent. Most automo-
biles have been bought on the in
stallment plan.
The automobile manufacturers
are all participating 100 per cent in
National Defense and are not raising
finger of opposition to any of the
Administration plans that are likely
to retard progress in the motor in
dustry.

New East-West Railroad

Although railroads have Jagged be-
hind airways in South American
transport, construction Of the new
transcontinental line from Santos,
Brazil, to africa, Chile, opens vast
productive areas of the interior to
settlement and development.
AS early as 1890, an interconti-
mental system from U. S. to Argen-
tina and Chile was proposed, and
the 10,227-mile route surveyed but
the line has never been completed.
In 1925 Argentina, Chile, Bolivia
and Peru were linked by rail, but
this route is not direct. The shorter
Transandine line, from Valparaiso,
Chile, to Buenos Aires, Argentine,
was damaged by flood several years
ago and reconstruction has been de-
layed.

CALLS FOR CONTINUED COOP
GRAFTON BY MOTORISTS In
SAVING LIVES
SAVING LIVES

Extreme satisfaction" is voiced
by Governor Herbert r. O'Conor
over the report of his Maryland
Traffic Safety Commission showing
the State during the month of July
than for July 1910.
The no. of deaths reported, 33, re-
fiected a reduction of about 30qo
over July, 1910, and an ever sharp
err reduction of SO 20 over the pre-
ceding month of June.
at is extremely gratifying to
note", declared Governor O'Conor,
''that the motoring public seems to
have responded generally during
July to the many appeals for safer
driving that have been issued by the
Maryland Traffic Safety Commission
and other agencies.
Undoubtedly, number of fac
tors have contributed to the savings
of lives, in addition to the increased
cooperation of the motorists and Pc
destrians. Stricter enforcement of
the motor vehicles laws, especially
those relating to excessive speeds,
and the institution by Motor Vehicle
Commissioner Elgin, at the sugges-
ton of the Maryland Traffic Safety
Commission, of policy Of license
revocation for serious traffic offens-
es, have helped greatly to impress
upon motorists that in their own in
terest las well as for the safety of
others, they must obey the laws.
81 sincerely hope that our Mary
land drivers, and the many thous-
ands of visiting drivers now here
for defense work, will continue to
realize the Importance of safer driv-
ing in the matter of saving the lives
of our residents.
More than one-half the counties
of the State ~, to be exact :
had the satisfaction of reporting no
deaths for the month. This Honor
Roll includes, Allegany, Calvert,
Caroline, Carroll, Cecil, Garrett,
Kent, Queen Anne's, st. Mary's,
Somerset, Talbot and Wicomico.
Four Counties Howard, Har-
ford, Baltimore and Prince Georges
contributed the greater portion of
the deaths with 8, S, a, and 8, re-
spectively.

what kind of peace is going to
come out of this WARP" That is the
question often heard even when the
Battle of the Atlantic was at it's
height and even oftner. now that the
war in Russia is reachingsa decisive
point.
1t is an interesting question. But
possibly Prime Minister Churchill's
answer is best-the time to talk of
peace is when the war is won. Right
now the war effort demands all
thought and action.
An allied victory means survival
Whatever the terms of peace, we
know that they will be infinitely
better if dictated by Britain. the
United States, Russia and the con-
quered nations than if dictated by
Hitler.

whose loyalty and sympathy are
clearly established should be given
