Turning Over An
Old Leaf
By Phillip A. Gladheim

There were faces to remember il
the Valley of the Shadow;
There were faces unregarded, there
are faces to forget;
There were fires of grief and feal
that are a few forgotten ashes;
There are sparks of recognition that
are not forgotten yet"
The transition from wagon, buggy
and sled to automobile, truck and
tractor, was gradual. It is most like
ly that the return to these primitive
modes of travel will be sudden, and
in large measure find the people I'M

that the horse and buggy days will
never return. These old-fashioned
contraptions will most likely become

off from our supply of rubber This
means that automobile factories,
dealers, oil companies, service sta

ployment-and if the supply is not
restored to normally in two years
the whole industry will have to start
from scratch.
1t will be comparatively easy for
the progressive Garrett County
farmer to return to the more print
tive modes of travel. Even though no
factory exists today to make a sled
he needs only to cut down some
saplings, growing upon his ridge. For
wheels he will have to depend for the
time being on 'tireless' auto-wheels,
set them to handmade wagon
chassis, and hitch the old grey mare
to it. The only difference is that he
will be moving slower have less ac-
cidents, less taxes, insurance, and
much less overhead We have all

have been living too fast-we would

pace But whatever comes, let us be
ready-that is the important thing.

Maryland Defense
Fund Nearly Gone
Experts Disclose

Maryland's defense fund is about
exhausted. There was balance of
about $4,000 in the fund but state
fiscal experts doubted the amount
would cover bills now outstanding
for operation of the Maryland state
guard.
There is a surplus in the general
fund of $9,1OO,OOO as of October /,
but funds from that cannot be drawn
for defense purposes without legis-
lative authority, the experts assert.
The Maryland Defense Council has
about 100000 available for its oper-
alton from now until the legislature
meets in 1913. Expenses of tire
rationing boards will be deducted
from this amount, they said
The 1941 general assembly appro-
priated 100000 in a bond issue for
the defense council. Shortly after
O'Conor called the state guard to
active duty and guardsmen's pay and
equipment has come out of this
amount. A number of guardsmen
were recalled from active duty after
the governor informed owners of pri-
vate industrial plants and munich
palities that they must hire their own
guards to protect their property, but
still a number of guardsmen are
needed to protect state interests, the
governor said.

ing.
This improvement has been badly
needed for several years and is well
come news to all residents of that
section as we'll as the city at large.
There is much traffic in that section
particularly due to the travelling of
students and faculty to and from the
Crisf;eld High School
This is one of the popular residen-
tial sections and will not only mean
added convenience but will mean add
ed beauty to the community as a
whole.
The Commission has cut the road
down six inches and is putting a six
inch gravel filler with an asphalt sur
face. The improvement will be from
curb to curb and is being constructed
so that there will be very little diff
Guilty in drainage.
The avenue will be open in a few
days to the motoring public
The Commission is using the most
modern machinery available on this
project. AS soon as Somerset avenue
is completed, Mariners road will I'M
dergo the same improvements from
Wards Crossing to the Mariners
Church, which will mean an improved
road to the two main county high
ways.

One of the most fascinating coun-
tries of ancient times is the land of
Egypt. This is especially true con-
eerning its religious thought.
There was Amenhotep ~, for in
stance, some nineteen hundred years
before the birth of Christ, who broke
away from the many idols of his day
and declared that the only God that
actually existed was the glorious sun
which beamed down upon them every
day.
He based his conviction on the sci
entific observations which he made,
that all life on the earth is sustained
by the radiant energy which streams
from the sun.
To express his conception more
clearly he adopted, as a symbolic de-
scription, a circular disk which rep
resented the sun. From the circum-
ference of this, he extended straight
lines in all directions which represen-
ted the beams of light streaming forth
from the sun carrying the radiant
energy of the sun in all directions.
At the end of each of these lines he
drew a tiny hand, in which was
grasped the Egyptian sign which
represented the fact that the sun i'm
parts the gift of life to all that it
touches.
When Amenhotep ~ observed and
depicted is indeed true in the realm
II the Spirit. All life is sustained by
that radiant energy which streams
forth from God.
Declared the Apostle John: God
+ light and in Him is no darkness
at all.
To have that life which is abundant,
healthy, prosperous, and happy, one
needs to expose himself to the rad
iant energy of God.
AS the same Apostle has also de-
.clared: eff we walk in the light as
He is in the light, we have fellowship
one with another and the blood of
Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth US
from all sim"
