He had keen mind, good education acquired

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
but do not compeW
TUESDAY. MAY S


A benefic aspect is strongly placed
in the morning but later in the day
adverse planetary influences have
domination
HEART AND HOME: Signs pres
age a growth of Government dicta-
ton which may be unpleasant and
limiting to women in many of their
plans. Things once judged necess-
airy will be pronounced superfluous
in the American way of life. Grad
ually resentment regarding what
seem arbitrary rules will be dissi-
pated and full adjustment to war
time regulations will be made cheer
fully. This month girls will take
over many farm occupations.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS Investiga-
tons of certain lines of industry
will be numerous as the Govern
ment seeks to avert initiation. Short
age of oil, rubber and other mater
ials so early in our war participa-
ton will cause widespread criticism
of Washington officials who are
accused Of Shortsiehtedness. Agri-
culture comes under good direction
of the stars and an immense crop
production is forecast. UnfavOrable
weather conditions will worry farm
ers in various places.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Political in
terests will be keen in coming weeks
when statesmen in Washington will
be anxious regarding neglected cam
paign programs. The stars are ILL
omened for many members of Con-
gress who have let personal bias or
selfish ambitions affect their senti-
ments regarding union labor, war
plans and other vital concerns of
the people whom they are repres-
enting in legislative affairs.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S:
An unfortunate internal situation
may develop In Russia where Soviet
foreign relations may be affected.

sway which will cause some per-
plexities among the Allied Nations
Conditions in Europe will be even

ALASKAN HIGHWAY

After all the hullabaloo about the
vitality needed military highway to
Alaska, it now looks as if it would
take at least two years, perhaps
nearer three years to build it. One
trouble is there is still an argument
about the route.
To date the Army has picked a
route by way of Edmonton, center
OF the prairie state of Alberta, which
is longer than the route advocated
by Alaskan Territorial officials.
The Alaskan officials propose a
short quick route straight up from
the State of Washington to Prince
George, then on to White Horse
Part of this about 400 miles to
Prince George-already is built. And
if interned German, italian and
japanese prisoners were put to work
on the remaining link, it might be
finished before winter.
However, both the Army and the
Canadian Government favor the
longer route via Edmonton. This
would follow the chain of Canad-
ian airports to Alaska. These air.
ports are operated by the Canadian
Pacific Railroad, which may be one
significant reason why the Canad-
ians want a road to link them up.
The Army originally picked this
route because last summer some of
its planes, en- route to Alaska with
green pilots, got lost and cracked
up. SO it was suggested that high
way linking the airports would serve
as a guide to airmen. The Army also
favored this route in order to send
gasoline and supplies by truck to air
bases. The war may be just about
over, however, before this interior
highway is built.
NOTE: Under the Army's con-
tract. the U. S. A. pays for the road
and maintains 1t until after the war
is over. Then it reverts to Canada
However, the Army failed TO insert
clause requiring Canada to keer
up maintenance after the war.

ROOSEVELT FAMILY DINNERS

In the ushers office, just inside
the front door, an old fashioned
callboard is hung, to indicate when
guests are in or out. There is space
for twenty names, but on a recent
day it carried only the names of
Mrs. Roosevelt, Harry Hopkins, and
Lorena Hickok, longtime friend of
both the First Lady and Hopkins,
who often stays at the White House.
(The Presidents name is never en-
tered ON the board)
A few days ago, the social black
out was lifted TO admit the Crown
Princess of the Netherlands and her
consort, for a dinner party. But no
guest list was released, and the af-
fair was kept on the level of family
dinner, in the family dining room.

What Is Mutiny?
philadelphia Record

Unfortunately the U. S. Supreme Court has
divided 5-to4 again This time it rules against the
National Labor Relations Board and the National
Maritime Union in a involving a Shutdown strike
a ship in port.
In 1898, the City of Fort Worth tied up at o
dock in Houston Tex, when the crew struck. The
immediate difference settled and the ship sailed
for Philadelphia, its home port. On arrival here the
company refused to hire several strikers Another
strike followed and also Labor Board order to re-
instate the seamen fired "for union activity
The company commended the seamen were fired
not for union activity but for "mutiny."
A strike on the high could certainly be con-
strued as mutiny if unaccompanied by effort
to take over the ship. But part of the Court felt
that it would be absurd to stretch the word mutiny
to cover a strike at dock in U s. port.
The ma jorty decision written by Justice Byrnes
held that the law of mutiny makes no distinction
between ships in port and ships at sea.
1t may be that strikes ships in port should
be illegal and persons who engage in them denied the
protection of the Wagner Act. But the law defining
mutiny that makes distinction whatever between
ships in port and ships at is clearly unreasonable
and tends to break down the gravity with which
seamen vew-and ought to vew-mutiny on the seas.

clares Everyone Will Feel
Effect of Seven-POint
Program

President Roosevelt, revealing Of
ficially for the first time that 'sev-
eral hundred thousands" of American
fighting men have already been sent
to battle the Axis in distant lands,
rallied the nation to a gigantic war
effort Tuesday night in radio adj
dress, saying that the price Of saving
our civilization must be paid in hard
work and sorrow and blood. y
He also expressed the view that the
japanese southwark drive had been
checked and declared that Australia,
New Zealand and adjacent islands are
now to become "bascs for offensive
action"
Mr.. Roosevelt also warned the
Vichy government that the United
Nations would take any action neces-
sary to prevent the use of French ter
ritory by Axis forces, and guaranteed
a continuation of the delivery of arms
to China, regardless of japanese sue
cesses in Burma.
Self Denial and Sacrifice
Bluntly he informed the citizens
that everyone would feel the effect
of his newly announced program for
stabilizing the cost of living and
called upon it for self-denial and sac
rifce in the interest of victory.
Never in the memory of man." he
said, has there been war in which
the courage, the endurance and the
loyalty of civilians played so vital a
part" He vigorously attacked all who
might be impeding" the war.
He outlined his program for COM

ization of wages and prices, billions
invested in war bonds, rationing, a
lessening of credit purchases and an
increase of debt payments-and said
the points of the program were in

Forest Fires Cause
Much Destruction in
County In Past Week

Over l400 acres Of woodland have
been burned over in Garrett county in
the past week, according to Cecil
Ramsey, superintendent Of the Swal-
low Falls state forest and acting dis
trict forest warden,
All blazcs were under control by
Sunday night. The most destructive
blaze was on Backbone mountain in
the Eagle Rock section where flames
destroyed 1000 acres Saturday, then
broke out again Sunday and swept 100
acres.
Blazes in the Sang Run section
covered about l20 acres and for a
time threatened the power lines of the
Associated Gas and Electric company,
but forest crews aided by workers dis
patched by the power company, were
able to hold the flames in check.
Nearly 200 acres wGrc burned near
McHenry and smaller b1azes were sup
pressed at Piney run, near Frostburg,
and Laurel run, near Kempton.
T0wermcn On job
Ramsey said that the Laurel run
fire was held to six acres through the
prompt work of Jack Williams, a
towerman, who left his tower, rounded
up crew and quickly brought the
fire under control.
II. c. Buckingham, district warden
reported the woods to be "tinder dry"
and that high winds had scattered the
flames. Another handicap he said was
the shortage of manpower and modern
fre-hghting equipment. He made a
plea for all persons to use extreme
caution in or near the woods and urged
that no ono burn any brush leaves or
refuse until heavy rainfall lessons

Annual County Track
Meet Is Called Off
Cancelled Because of Scarcity of
Tires and Gasoline, According
To County Superintendent

That it has been found inadvisable
to hold the usual annual countrywide
track and field meet for elementary
and high school athletes, was an
nounced this morning by F. E. Rath-
bun, county superintendent of schools.
Scarcity of tires and gasoline was
given as the principal reason for this
decision. The meet was originally
scheduled to be held at Accident on
Friday, May %.
Mr. Rathbun stated however, that
permission was to be given element
airy and high schools to conduct track
and field events upon that day, among
surrounding interested schools, the
details of such meets being left en-
tirely with principals Of the schools
concerned. He said limited number
of badges were available in the office
of the Board of Education for various
appropriate events.
Any such full or half day devoted
to this purpose is to be reported in
the teacher salary report for May
under item No. g. Mr.. Rathbun eau
toned teachers, adding that no fur
Their notice would be sent out.
Mr.. Rathbun also pointed out that
this same decision had been made con-
corning Track and Field events in all
of the other counties of Maryland eX-
cept Allegany and Washington. In
those two counties such events are
being conducted at several centers,
and not at one central point.
Affects Music Festivals
1t was further announced by Mr.,
Rathbun that similar arrangements
have been made for music festivals
that are usually held late in May in
various sections throughout the cOun-
ty. Neighboring schools may hold
such music festivals if it is the pref
erence of the principals of such
schools that they be conducted.
