Hitler Wrong Again

While driving from Rising Sun to
Elkton last Sunday evening, a party
of war plant workers found woman
lying by the road side near Calvert,
with a severe cash in her head and
apparently dead. They Immediately
notified the State Police who took
the body to the Elkton Hospital,
where it was found upon examine
ton that her inanimation was caus-
ed by inebriation. After resuscita-
ton she preceded to her destination
and appeared next day with ban
dage on her head for decoration at
her regular job in one of the war
plants at Elkton.
While in a moving auto she had
tried to emulate the young man on
the flying trapeze and sailed thru
the air with the greatest of ease
but the law of gravitation proved
too much and she landed wrong side
up.
Hitler says that democracy tends
to soften a nation. This proves
that he was wrong again, as usual.

No Telephones
For Oxford, Pa.

Telephones now in service are u.s.
ing to full capacity the facilities
of the Oxford central office and no
new telephone installations can be
made in the Oxford exhcange area
for normal civilian use, Hallock s.
Johnson, manager for the Bell Tele-
phone Co., stated recently.
Additions to central Office equip
ment everywhere throughout the
nation have been restricted sharply
by the War Production Board, as an
essential war measure, Mr.. Johnson
said. The manufacture of such addi-
tional equipment would divert from
the war effort, copper, zinc, mag
nesium, nickel and other metals
needed for planes, tanks, ships,
guns and munitions.
Mr.. Johnson explained that in
keeping with the normal practice of
the telephone company, margins for
telephone growth had been MAIN
tanned as long as possible at the Ok
ford central office. But the upsurge
in Oxford's telephone requirements
since the outbreak of the war has
wiped out these central Office mar
gins
ct, therefore, is not possible,
added Mr.. Johnson, "to serve any
additional telephones in the Oxford
central office area, except where re-
quired for defense or where the
safety, health or welfare of the
community is involved. This applies
to new business as well as to new
residence telephones.

Governor O'Conor Says:

Volunteers for miscellaneous COM
munity war activities are badly
needed. There is much urgent work
waiting to be done.
The people of Maryland responded
admirably to the call of the Mary
land Council of Defense for work
ers In the protective services. To-
day, another call for volunteers is
bling broadcast to assist in the null
tiple tasks that are necessary for
the successful prosecution OF the
war on the home-front.
There is a job for everyone. I'm
fortunately this work does not and
cannot seek the worker. So enroll
now with your Local Defense Or
ganization in the U. S. Citizens Ser
vice Corps. Maryland must be and
will be ready to do its share in win
ming the war.
