Petition Received
From Residents

oBuilding expansion in Mount

from the city commission calling
for initial steps in the setting
up of possible coming ordinance
and building code in the city
Following q statement by
City Clerk Joseph Matthews that
. ten-year record had been set
for the first four months of the
year, Commissioners Frederick
Brietmeyer, Jr., suggested that
the city make some effort to and
out whether or not q building
code would settle some Of the
questions arising out Of the

The commission approved q
suggestion by Commissioners Ed
ward A. Dubay that Mayor Dom
aid r. Westendorf appoint q
committee Of Ave civic-minded
men to make a survey Of the sit
uation. The committee will also
contact engineers in an attempt
to learn the cost of drawing up
the plans.
The action was taken follow
ing the reading of . petition
from a number Of Lodewyck
street residents asking the COM
mission to discourage the build
ing Of two small frame buildings
in q court-like area in the rear
Of the Leonard Daily residence.
Daily was granted permits to
build two such buildings 1t the
cost Of $500 each by the COM
missioners on April 2.
Mayor Westendorf said that
due to the lack of building re-
strictions in the city 1t present,
the commission could not take
action on the petition.

oATHENS, April l7-This is
no powderpuff war, but from
the bomb-scarred army hospitals
of Macedonia to the crowded
refugee camps of Attica Greek
women are doing their bit
and more.
When hundreds of wounded
soldiers were safely removed
from Corizza while Italian tanks
were driving in. it was a hand
full Of young volunteer nurses
who finished up the job, neatly
and casually.
Forced to forsake the canteen

BABIES AND AMBULANCES
Both her daughter and daugh-
ter-in-law have babies, yet one
drives an ambulance and the
other Is q canteen worker. Their
grandfather in Athens looks af-
ter the children. He was once
governor of Macedonia and now
works as a relief official.
Theirs is a typical wartime
Greek family, for one son is in
the air force and the other in
the army.
OF 5000 military nurses, g.
600 are volunteers since the war
started - debutantes, matrons
and dowagers.
While some have been bombed
and machine-gunned on land
and others have gone down with
hospital ships at sea, not one has
asked to be relieved of duty
since Greece was invaded nearly
six months ago.

Their achievement was the

backs up the steep Pindus trails
to the guns which. smashed the
Italian divisions driving for the
heart of Greece.
WOMEN UNITED :
Tens of thousands of peasant
women have worked from dawn
to dusk ever since, carrying
rocks and welding picks and
shovels in the building of roads.
Despite icy storms of winter,
whole villages turned out to re-
pair bridges and fill in bomb
craters so army trucks and wag-
ons could reach the Albanian
front with badly needed sup
plies.
In less spectacular assign.
ments, women operate soup kit
chens, re-house refugees, nurse
disabled veterans, roll bandages,
knit socks, make pajamas and
plan means to bolster home
front morale.
Thirty American women in
Athens are working regularly in
varied home aid activities. Both
Greek and American women are
cooperating in distribution of
several million dollars of relief
money sent from the United
States.

In . letter to the American
Society Of Newspaper Editors,

Mr.. Roosevelt's letter follows:

Newspaper Editors. II it were

Free speech is in undisput-

the possession Of magazines, of

still in possession Of all the
means Of intelligence, comment
and criticism. So far as ! am
concerned 1t will remain there
for that Is where It belongs.
1T Is important that 1t should
remain there, for suppression of
opinion and censorship Of news
are among the mortal weapons
that relationships direct against
their own peoples and direct
against the world. As far as I
am concerned there will be no
government control Of news un-
less it be of vital military in

ASKED TO VETO BILL

Governor Herebrt r. O'ConoT
has been asked by the Keystone
Automobile Club to veto House Bill
No. 537, passed in the last-minute
rush" at the close of the Legisla-
tive session, providing for the levy
ing of tolls on heavily-traveled u.
s. at the Conowingo Bridge.
In letter to the Governor, sign
ed by the Clubs President, J. Max
well Smith, Keystone outlines its OBJ
jections to the bills as follows:
las a motoring organization re-
presenting the interests of motorists
we oppose the measure because we
feel the only justification for toll
bridges and toll roads lies in the
creation of entirely new facilities
not mere substitutions for existing
free facilities. The fact that revenue
derived from Conowingo Bridge
tolls is to be used to amortize an
authorized $3,50O.000 loan for con-
struction Of dual highway replac-
ing the present two-lane stretch of
U. S. between Belair and the Penn
sylvania Line does not, in our opin-
ion, change the principle involved
'If this bill is approved, it will
mean that no motorist can drive
between Baltimore and Philada.
without the payment of toll, since
the new Perryville-Havre de Grace
bridge on the only other route be-
tween the two cities, u. s. 40, is q
toll span, having replaced the double
decker free bridge at this point in
the face of general public protest
against the exaction of toll.
"In fairness tot he motoring pub
lie, already grievously burdened
with taxation, we therefore ask you
to veto this hastily-passed measure.

chief, to make certain they have
their draft registration card with
them.
The substitution of the word
must" for should" in an amend
ment to the Selective Service Act
brought the warning.
The old provision in the act stat
ed: "The registrant should carry
his registration certificate. :"
The revised regulations provide:
registration certificate in his per-
sonal possession at all times and,
upon request, must exhibit it to any
law-enforcement officer, selective
official or any member of local

be cleaned out of the plants, since
these act as a potential source of
disease. 1t is advisable to spray the
injured plants with Bordeaux 4-4-50
now and to follow with a second ap-
pliaction in two weeks. Fertilizing
should be done either in the next
few weeks, using readily avail
able material, or be postponed until
next fall or winter, using less
available material. Plants should
make vigorous growth early enough
to be hardened for the winter
months.
A suitable windbreak should be
provided for winter protection so
as to prevent reddening of the fol-
iage. Valuable lockwood plants are
frequently enclosed by lath frame
work which is covered with burlap.
